Connecting Oracle 9i as a linked server of SQL Server 2000

I have a problem inserting String values into Oracle 9i as a linked server or SQL Server 2000.
When I run the following in SQL Analyzer:
insert into ORACLEOLE..ADMIN.FM_SQL values('asdf','qwer');
The result msg is:
Server: Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. Metadata information was changed at execution time.
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Column 'FM_ID' (compile-time ordinal 1) of object '"ADMIN"."FM_SQL"' was reported to have a DBTYPE of 129 at compile time and 130 at run time].
Is this a problem that the Charaterset of Oracle 9i being 'ALU32UTF8' ?
I have tried changing the field's type to varchar2, char, nvarchar2 and nchar...and they didn't work.
However, when the field type is a number(10) and I insert to the table integer values, the sql works fine.
so..any data mapping need to be done explicitly?
Thanks in advance.

Based on my reading of the ANSI SQL-92 standards, table names are supposed to be in upper case.
"of course, any lower case letters appearing in a <regular identifier> will have been converted to the corresponding upper case letter before the <identifier> is stored in any table of the Information Schema"
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt
Given that table names are supposed to be in upper case and they are in fact in upper case, why don't you just ask for them in upper case in the first place?

Oracle InstantClient with Linked Server in Sql Server 2005

We are trying to connect ORACLE server from sql server 2005 using Linked Server Feature in SqlServer 2005
Generally Oracle Client software is needed for this activity in the sql server machine.
Can we use "Oracle InstantClient" instead of "Oracle Client Software" to connect ORACLE using Linked Servers ?
Please give us your views, any existing reports similar to this activity
Thanks & Regards,
Palani

Thanks for your reply
I agree that Oracle Client software is used to connect oracle from SQL SERVER 2005.
But my doubt is can we use Oracle InstantClient instead of Oracle Client software to connect oracle from SQL SERVER 2005
with respect to Oracle Instant Client - I would like to know the development steps (Not the installation steps of Oracle Instant Client in windows machine) to connect ORACLE server.
Thanks & Regards,

How to create a Linked Server from SQL Server 2012 to Postgresql

Hi, I am working on a third party application which is using Postgresql version 9 database and I am trying create a linked server in SQL Server 2012 using the below stored procedure.
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'LINKEDSERVERPOSTGRES', @srvproduct=N'PostgreSQL',
@provider=N'MSDASQL', @provstr=N'Driver=PostgreSQL;uid=pguser;Server=pghost;database=pgdatabase;pwd=somepassword'
Error: Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server.
I have no clue if a jdbc provider exists in SQL Server to connect to Postgresql or what the right provider is? Could you please let me know if there's a workaround to achieve this.
Thanks in advance............

Linked Servers Diff Domains server type SQL Server vs OLE

Ok, we have two different servers ETL03 (2012) and SQL03 (2012 ent). Each on Separate domains SQL03 server has many instances. i have kerberos set up and it appears to be working fine (run SELECT auth_scheme FROM sys.dm_exec_connections WHERE session_id
= @@spid ;). For the different instances to work with Kerberos, i had to assign a static port to each of the instances. The main server instances are using the default 1433. When i created a linked server from SQL03\TestInstance to ETL03,
i can put the
Link server: ETL03
Server Type: SQL Server
Security 'Be made using the login's current security context'
If i make this exact same linked server but from ETL03 to SQL03\TestInstance i get the error Login failed for user 'NT Authority/Anonymous Login'.
If i create the connection where the Server Type is OLE DB, it works. However, not all of the databases show up in the catalog.
So here are my questions:
1- anyone have any ideas as to why the OLE DB connection works and the SQL Server connection doesn't work when going from ETL03 to SQL03\TestInstance
2- If i have to use the OLE DB connection, fine, but where are all of the db's? Most show up, but a few do not.
FYI, the linked server from ETL03 to default instance of SQL03 works perfectly, i can see all db's etc. So has something to do with these named instances. Thanks for all and any input.

So i figured out what it was looking for, if anyone is interested. In order to use SQL Server as the type, i had to use the FQDN so when making the connection the server name is, SQL03.subdomain.domain.local\TestInstance.
This works and you can see all of the db's etc. I'd still like to know why the other doesn't work. When setting the spns for the service account, i included two entries:
MSSQLSvc/SQL03:50001
MSSQLSvc/SQL03.subdomain.domain.local:50001
so technically i shouldn't have to use the fqdn, but as long as it works....

Cannot kill a session that is running a query on a linked server in SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
Cannot kill a session that is running a query on a linked server in SQL Server 2008 R2.
When I try to kill, it status shown as "KILLED/ROLLBACK"
I have facing the issue from long back. I searched many and none of them worked for me
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

I guess its stuck, can you see some blocking or any other process blocking the rollback.
can you check rollback status using below command. Or you can use sp_who2 and check status column
select percent_complete,estimated_completion_time from sys.dm_exec_requests
where spid=xxx

Installing Oracle 8i on server with SQL Server 2000

We have One Server (HP with: 4 processors XEON, 100 GB HD Raid 5, 8GB RAM). And this server has SQL Server 2000 running with some databases. We NEED to install ORACLE 8i for a product that they use that DB. IS THERE a problem to install and use ORACLE 8i on the same server that has SQL server 2000? Do you know any issue related to this "experience"?

You CAN run both at the same time. I have done this on a few boxes without issue. MS tells you not to, but I think it's because they don't want you running Oracle. Their comment was 'we don't recommend it.'
Remember that you will have TCP 1521 tied up with Oracle (by default) and TCP 1433 tied up with SQL Server (by default). If you have installation issues, it's not because you are running two separate DBs. In this case you have a different issue. If you can't run both successfully, simultaneously then you have another issue altogether not related to the software. You should be fine as long as you are not sharing TCP ports.
Several years ago I was responsible for an HP Netserver LX Pro that ran Oracle RDMBS 7.3.2 and (probably 4.2 or 6.0) SQL Server and had no issues. I have been running both RDBMSs on the same box since even though the boxes have changed - HP/DELL - didn't matter.

Study: Oracle database software has more flaws than SQL Server

Hi,
Study: Oracle database software has more flaws than SQL Server
Microsoft is often unfairly slammed for security issues, says NGSS
http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9005383&intsrc=hm_list
Post your comments on this stupid artical.
Thanks!

This is a case where size does matter.
When they say errors reported on oracle are about 4 times more than the ones reported on SQL server they forgot to say something like: SQL server is able to do... what a 10%, a 5% or whatever of what oracle can do.
Anyway who sayd this forgot to say that they worked with microsoft trying to improve SQL sever security features as well.
http://www.nextgenss.com/press-releases/ngs-and-the-sql-server-security-essential-guide/
They have a reason to say it. Who would say "I made a bad job!"
In my opinion there is no way yet to compare oracle to any other DBMS under any point of view.

Have trouble query after creating a linked server from SQL Server 2008 to EXCEL 2007

I created a linked server from SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express to an EXCEL 2007 workbook using:
sp_addlinkedserver @server='LSERVER_EX0', @srvproduct='EXCELDATA', @provider='Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc='C:\Temp\abc.xlsx', @provstr='EXCEL 12.0'
The linked server LSERVER_EX0 was created, but I cannot see any table(excel sheet), and when i ran the following to query tables,
sp_tables_ex 'LSERVER_EX0'
I got:Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES" for OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "LSERVER_EX0". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
Any hint why?
on another note, i was able to import the EXCEL sheets using the Import and Export Data wizard, but i cannot control the column data type and size in this way.

Open management studio, goto "Server Objects"->"Linked Servers"->Providers, select the provider you use, right click it and in provider options, check "Allow inprocess".

This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

Creation of System Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2.

Hi all,
I am stuck at a point I am looking for a system stored procedure named 'sp_dboption' in SQL Server 2012 & R2 but could not find.
Searched for it on the net and found that, this stored procedure 'sp_dboption' is now obsolete. So I tried to copy the content of 'sp_dboption' stored procedure from SQL Server 2008 R2 and create new system stored procedure with this name 'sp_dboption' in
SQL Server 2012 but was unable to create the system stored procedure.
Can you guys please tell me how to create system stored procedure in SQL Server 2012 & SQL Server 2012 R2. The reason of why I want to achieve this is because I have used 'sp_dboption' system stored procedure in my application to create a database.
As 'sp_dbotion' stored procedure is present in SQL Server 2008 R2 I am able to create the database in SQL server 2008 R2 but not in SQL server 2012.
Can you please guide me how to create system stored procedure. I am out of luck.
Please assist me, thanks & looking for help at the earliest. Hope someone will come to the fore and help me.

Hi Vishwajeet,
If you tried to create any object in the sys schema, you will get the error below.
The specified schema name "sys" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
So I am afraid creating any object in sys schema is not supported by SQL Server. Here is a similar link for your reference.
How to create table in SYS schema in SQL Server?
Though sp_dboption is not in SQL Server 2012, does creating a user-defined one with the same content in 2008 make any difference in your business? You just need to specify the fully qualified name dbname.dbo.sp_dboption.
If you are still interested in creating a system sp_dboption, you can register it with the
sp_ms_marksystemobject.

Hi Prasanth,
Thanks for your suggestions and I tried all that what I can do along with your suggestion, and still getting the same error, all the connection are working fine, but when I checked for Integrity, Parse Object and Cardinality I was getting some Object error and cardinality error, which am trying to resolve, so I think am having a wrong version of the Activity Universe.
Thanks for your suggestion.

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.sp_SPNAMEHERE'.

OK, something seemed to have changed with my system because this error is NEW. It might be related to my system upgrade from Vista to Win7, but just guessing here.
I run a database on a corporate MS Sql Server (2005) and an ASP application that connects via ODBC. The real world application works fine, however when I attempt to access Stored Procedures from Dreamweaver (on my development machine) I am getting the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.sp_SPNAMEHERE'.
This only seems to happen on Stored procedures that RETURN a recordset.
system:
Win7
Dreamweaver CS4
Code: VBScript/Classic ASP
SQL Server 2005
Connecting via ODBC: MM_MY_STRING = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=wscxxxxxxxxx;Database=dbsystem;Uid=username;Pwd=XXXXXXXXXXXX"
Stored procedures that do not return a recordset are not an issue.... this has put my development work at a standstill!!
Thanks in advance!

Well, I hate bumps, but I am really running out of solutions. I have now tried to use a system DSN on my development machine and that didnt solve the problem. I just un-installed DW and re-installed it and that didnt solve my problem either.
This is very frustrating, because I cannot use any stored procs that return recordsets... I am stuck... can anybody think of a relatively easy work-around to working in DW w/ recordsets that come from SPs when you cant actually access them?
The really weird thing is, when I build the command, and choose the stored proc, and give it valid input variables, and TEST it from the TEST button, everything works and data is returned as expected. Once I click "OK" and actually add it to the ASP page the recordset that should be visible isnt... and when I click the plus sign in the bindings window I get the error...
Help!!

Still does not work. I have allow MSDSTC in my firewall list.
Hi dudskie,
Have you try to use DTCTester or DTCPing to verify MSDTC functionality over the network? Please refer to the following article:
Troubleshooting Problems with MSDTC:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561924.aspx
Use the DTCTester utility to verify transaction support between two computers if SQL Server is installed on one of the computers. The DTCTester utility uses ODBC to verify transaction support against a SQL Server database. For more information about
DTCTester see How to Use DTCTester Tool.
Use DTCPing to verify transaction support between two computers if SQL Server is not installed on either computer. The DTCPing tool must be run on both the client and server computer and is a good alternative to the DTCTester utility when SQL Server
is not installed on either computer. For more information about DTCPing, see
How to troubleshoot MS DTC firewall issues.
