Calling a sql server sproc and function from oracle gateway

Hello ,
i am new to oracle gateway,
we are trying to call a sql server 2008 stored procedure and function which return result set like a table result set.
Can you please share some syntax of how to do it.
and capture the data set and loop through or output it.
Thanks
madhu

On My Oracle Support you find some notes how to do that. The first one is
Different Methods For Calling MS SQL Server Procedures Using DG4MSQL (Doc ID 197192.1)
and a note using result sets (it was written fir the Sybase gateway but works the same way for DG4MSQL) is:
How to Call a Remote Sybase Procedure Using DG4SYBS (Doc ID 351400.1)

  • How to integrate from MS SQL SERVER 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.

    Hi
    I am new to ODI. I am trying to load sample data from MS SQL Server 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.
    1. I have created three models.
    1-1. SQL2005 (SRC_CUSTOMER table)
    1-2. Flatfile (SRC_AGE_GROUP.txt & SRC_SALES_PERSON.txt)
    1-3. Oracle 10g (TRG_CUSTOMER table)
    You may know I got those environments from the ODI DEMO environment.
    2. I could able to reverse the tables also.
    3. I have created an interface which contains source table (from MSSQL 2005), Flatfile and target table from ORACLE model.
    4. I have imported the knowledge modules. But I am confusing in selecting the knowledge modules to source and target tables.
    I've selected LKM File to SQL for flatfile model.
    I've also selected LKM SQL to SQL for MSSQL 2005 model and IKM Oracle Incremental Update for the target table (ORACLE).
    I've also implemented the interface that I created. It worked without errors. But there is no data in target table which is TRG_CUSTOMER.
    I really would like to know what happened and what the problems are.
    You can email me [email protected]
    Thanks in advance
    Jason Lee

    what did give for SRC_AGE_GROUP SRC_CUSTOMER join condition
    if it is
    (SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX
    give it as
    (SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE>SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE<SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX

  • Error converting SQL Server DDL and views to Oracle

    I am trying to convert SQL Serve 2008 on windows to Oracle 11g using SQL Developer 3.2.20.09. I am using the jtds-1.2.7 drivers to connect to SQL Server.
    I have made several attempts to run the conversion and am getting the tables, indexes, and triggers converted with no issue. However, my Procedures and views are not coming across. All of them are giving similar errors as:
    "Failed To Convert Stored Procedure get_compvision > esp3.dbo.get_compvision:unexpected end of subtree: Line 0 Column 0"
    When I log into the source SQL Server environment using SQL Developer, I get an empty SQL Editor window with "null" when I try to {right-click -> "Open"} on the Procedure.
    Logging into SQL Server Administrator as the same user I can see the source code, so the issue appears to be related to SQL Developer and not my user privleges. I am a dbo alias in SQL Server.
    In addition, if I click on a view, I can see the data and metadata, but not the SQL that defines the view. I see tabs for column, data, triggers, and details.
    In addition, if I go to the "capture" for my Migration project and drill down to procedures, I can see them listed, but each and every procedure gives me a "/* DDL not accesible */" error. I get teh same results for views, triggers and indexes.
    Can someone help me? I have been googling for days!

  • Best Practice to fetch SQL Server data and Insert into Oracle Tables

    Hello,
    I want to read sqlserver data everry half an hour and write into oracle tables ( in two different databases). What is the best practice for doing this?
    We do not have any database dblinks from oracle to sqlserver and vice versa.
    Any help is highly appreciable?
    Thanks

    Well, that's easy:
    use a TimerTask to do the following every half an hour:
    - open a connection to sql server
    - open two connections to the oracle databases
    - for each row you read from the sql server, do the inserts into the oracle databases
    - commit
    - close all connections

  • SQL Server 2005 data pull from Oracle

    Hi, I am learning how to use Oracle and I ran into this problem.
    My database is running on SQL Server 2005.
    I have an ODBC connection to Oracle. I also have a VB .Net script that queries the Oracle table that the data resides in.
    When the job is running, and if it stalls, I do not get a timeout error. It locks down my database and no other source systems can feed data to me; these are back logged in the queue.
    Is there an easier way for me to make a connection that will pull data on a consistent basis? Please help ...
    Student Learner

    Learning how to use Oracle does not include taking data from Oracle and putting it into SQL Server.
    From your description of what is happening I agree with BluShadow. This is not an Oracle issue. This is a coding in VB .NET issue.
    Posting the statements you are executing against some unknown version of Oracle would be a good starting point.

  • Invoking SQL Server function from Oracle

  • How to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle

    Hi all,
    Please anybody tell me how to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle.
    I've made an hsodbc connection and i can do insert, update, fetch data in sql server from oracle. But calling SP gives error. when I tried an SP at oracle that has line like
    "dbo"."CreateReceipt"@hsa
    where CreateReceipt is the SP of sql server and hsa is the DSN, it gives the error that "dbo"."CreateReceipt" should be declared.
    my database version is 10g
    Please help me how can i call it... I need to pass some parameters too to the SP
    thanking you

    hi,
    thank you for the response.
    when i call the sp using DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH, without parameters it works successfully, but with parameters it gives the following error
    ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
    [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid parameter number[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index (SQL State: S1093; SQL Code: 0)
    my code is,
    declare
    c INTEGER;
    nr INTEGER;
    begin
    c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@hsa;
    DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@hsa(c, 'Create_Receipt(?,?)');

    nr:=DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@hsa(c);
    DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@hsa(c);
    end;
    Create_Receipt is the sp which requires two parameters.
    please give me a solution

    DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
    Jinchun Chen: "Good."
    JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
    that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
    rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
    the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
    Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
    Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"

  • SQL Devloper Migration from SQL SerProcedurs created as Functions in Oracle

    Hi All,
    This is the first time I am using SQL Deveoper to migrate SQL Server database to Oracle.
    I have SQL Developer 3 and I did migration from SQL Sever 2008 to Oracle 10g using online migration.
    Everything was done perfectly, but there are some extra tables created in Oracle which are not present in SQL Server database.
    And also I observed lot of programs which are stored procedures in SQL Server are converted as functions in Oracle.
    Does someone knows how to fix this problem.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    A SQL*Server stored procedure can be converted to an Oracle function depending on how it is written and what it is doing. In the documentation -
    Oracle® SQL Developer
    Supplementary Information for Microsoft SQL Server and
    Sybase Adaptive Server Migrations
    In Chapter 3 in the section -
    3.4.2 Function
    It says under Table 3-6 -
    In Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase
    Adaptive Server, you can convert a stored
    procedure to a function in Oracle because
    the stored procedure in Microsoft SQL
    Server or Sybase Adaptive Server can
    RETURN an integer value to the calling
    routine using a RETURN statement. A
    stored procedure returns a status value to
    the calling routine even in the absence of
    a RETURN statement. The returned status
    is equal to ZERO if the procedure
    execution is successful or NON-ZERO if
    the procedure fails for some reason. The
    RETURN statement can return only
    integer values
    And what tables do you see in oracle that are not there in SQL*Server ? Some tables are created as part of the migration as they are needed to have the same functionality as in SQL*Server.
    Does your migrated Oracle database work in the same way as the SQL*Server database ? If not, then please give use specific examples and we can follow up.
    Regards,
    Mike

  • SQL Server 2000 and JDBC,Registering cursor as OUT param

    hi
    I am using JDK1.4,SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft's JDBC driver.
    I am stuck in accessing cursors.
    The SP i wrote is
    USE pubs
    IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects
    WHERE name = 'spSelectEmployees' and type = 'P')
    DROP PROCEDURE spSelectEmployees
    GO
    CREATE PROCEDURE spSelectEmployees @emp_cursor CURSOR VARYING OUTPUT
    AS
    SET @emp_cursor = CURSOR
    FORWARD_ONLY STATIC FOR
    SELECT *
    FROM employee
    OPEN @emp_cursor
    GO
    The problem I face is that when i register the output param in java code,what datatype do I specify..code is written below.
    calStmt = conn.prepareCall("{CALL pubs.dbo.spSelectEmployees(?)}", ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
    calStmt.registerOutParameter(1,Types.?????);-->What goes here???
    java.sql.Types does not give any datatype for cursor or object.Any one knows if there is an extended type given by Microsoft Driver??

    I am using JDK1.4,SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft's JDBC driver. Premably for 2000. Numerous posts here suggests that driver has problems. The jTDS driver would be a better choice.
    java.sql.Types does not give any datatype for cursor or object.Any one knows if there is an extended type given by Microsoft Driver??You are correct that it would require a driver specific type. I have no idea what it is.
    Why don't you modify the proc to return a result set.

  • Unable to install SQL server 2000 and 2005 on Satellite A205-s5831

    Hello everyone.
    I Needs some helps from all of you.
    I have Toshiba Laptop Satellite A205-S5831.
    Its Have Windows Vista Home Premium.
    And I am unable to install SQL server 2000 and 2005.
    I also Unable to Install Windows XP SP2.
    Problem is SATA driver.
    Plz Help me ...!
    Response me

    Hi
    The Windows XP needs a SATA driver if you want to install it on the notebook with SATA HDD controller.
    The SATA driver can be found in the Intel Storage Manager.
    I would recommend using the nLite program to include a SATA driver into the new Windows XP CD and then to boot from the new created XP CD.
    Here you will find all details regarding the nLite:
    http://www.nliteos.com/
    Regarding SQL server issue;
    Maybe you will be able to install in on Windows XP. Possibly there is a compatibility issue between the Vista and the SQL server software

  • SQL Server Express and Visual Studio 2013

    In February I installed Visual Studio 2013 Professional. Looking in the Control Panel at all my installed programs, I see that I have a bunch of SQL server-related programs loaded, from the 2013 install and also from installs of previous Visual Studio versions.
    I've never done a thing with SQL server express, and am completely clueless about using it. I've already wanted to take a crack at it but it always seemed too daunting, so I backed off. It seems, however, that over the years the integration of SQL Server Express
    with Visual Studio is getting more and more seamless. Here is a list of all the SQL Server-related programs on my computer, with the ones installed automatically from the Visual Studio 2013 install bolded so they'll stand out. What I'm wondering is if I have
