  • How to create database link between oracle and SQL Server

    Hello Everyone,
    Here i have Oracle Database 9i and SQL Server 2005 databases.
    I have some tables in sql server db and i want to access from Oracle.
    How to create a database link between these two servers
    Thanks,

    Thanks for Everyone,
    I was struggle with this almost 10 days....
    I created Database link from Oracle to SQL Server
    Now it is fine.........
    Here i am giving my servers configuration and proceedure how i created the db link...@
    Using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC) we can create db link between Oracle and SQL server.
    Machine (1)
    DB Version : Oracle 9.2.0.7.0
    Operating System : HP-UX Itanuim 64 11.23
    IP : 192.168.0.31
    Host : abcdbt
    Machine (2)
    Version : SQL Server 2005
    Operating System : Windows server 2003 x86
    IP : 192.168.0.175
    Host : SQLDEV1
    User/PW : sa/abc@123! (Connect to database)
    Database : SQLTEST (exsisting)
    Table : T (“ T “ is the table existing in SQLTEST database with 10 rows)
    Prerequisites in Machine (2):
    a)     Oracle 10g software
    b)     User account to access SQL Server database (sa/abc@123!)
    c)     Existing SQL Server Database (SQLTEST)
    d) Tables (testing purpose) (T)
    Steps:
    1)     Install Oracle 10.2.0.1 (Only SW,No need of database) *(Machine 2)*
    2)     Create a DSN where your windows Oracle 10g SW resides *(Machine 2)*
    Control panel >> Administrative Tools >> Data Source (ODBC) >> System DSN ADD
    You can follow this link also.....
    http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3442661/Making-a-Connection-from-Oracle-to-SQL-Server.htm
    I created DSN as
    DSN name : SQLTEST
    User : SA/abc@123! (Existing user account)
    Host : 192.168.0.175 (machine 2)
    Already I have 1 database in SQL Server with the name SQLTEST
    You can create DSN with different name also (not same as db name also)
    3)     Create a hsodbc init file in $ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin *(Machine 2)*
    Create init<DSN NAME> file
    Ex: initSQLTEST
    Copy inithsodbc to initSQLTEST
    And edit
    initSQLTEST file
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SQLTEST    <DSN NAME>*
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF*
    save the file....@
    4)     Configure Listener.ora *(Machine 2)*
    LISTENER_NEW =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.175)(PORT = 1525))

    (ORACLE_HOME = G:\oracle 10g\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (PROGRAM = extproc) )
    :> lsnrctl start LISTENER_NEW

  • Developing database views between Oracle and SQL Server tables

    I am on Oracle 10.2, my organization has many SQL Server databases as well and has now made
    SQL server as company standard so many new databases will be developed in SQL Server. It is of course
    not possible to convert all Oracle databases to SQL Server, so a mix environment will exist. Two questions:
    1.     Is it possible to develop database views in Oracle (10g in my case) which join Oracle tables with tables in SQL Server 2008? If yes, how. I have seen some heterogeneous connectivity setup to connect SQL Server to Oracle, but not sure whether it is possible to develop a database view across two databases.
    2.     I know it is not a SQL Server forum, but many DBA’s know both Oracle and SQL Server. Is it possible to develop views in SQL Server (SQL Server 2008 R2 in my case) which join Oracle 10g and SQL Server 2008 tables? I know in SQL Server, there is way to set up linked servers, but do not know whether it is possible to develop views.
    Thanks a lot for your insight.

    You can create views that join local Oracle tables and remote SQL Server tables. I'm pretty sure you can do the reverse as well but I haven't personally done it.
    However, I would be very concerned about the performance you'd get if you created that sort of view. You'd very frequently end up in a situation where Oracle has to pull all the data in the remote table across the database link in order to apply predicates and join the data locally. That could be disastrous from a performance standpoint.

  • Question about transfer between oracle and sql server

    Could i program to transfer lots of data between Oracle and SQL Server quickly?
    I have tried make two connection between two databases, but it took me lots of time to transfer data.
    How could I do it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you need to move data fast, then use the Oracle Migration Workbench to Generate SQL Server BCP data extraction scripts and Oracle SQL Loader files.
    This is the fastest way to migrate the data.
    In the Oracle Model UI tab of the Oracle Migration Workbench, right mouse click on the tables folder. there is a menu option to 'Generate SQL Loader ...' scripts. This will help you migrate your data efficiently.

  • Creation of database link from oracle to sql server 2000

    Hi
    I need to create a database link from oracle to sql server 2000.

    Assuming your Oracle database is running on Windows, you can set up a database link using ODBC using Heterogeneous Services and Generic Connectivity, but there are some functional limitations (i.e. no two-phase commits). If you can live with those limitations but aren't on Windows, you can generally purchase an ODBC driver for your operating system that will connect to SQL Server through someone like DataDirect and still use Generic Connectivity. If you cannot live with those limitations, you can purchase one of Oracle's Transparent Gateway products (though this can get somewhat pricey).
    What version of Oracle are you on?
    What operating system(s) are you using?
    What are you going to use the database link for?

  • Creating Database Link from Oracle to SQL Server

    I am trying to create a database link from Oracle to SQL Server, and the documentation is about as clear as mud to me. Can anyone send me clear instructions on exactly what I need to do? What needs to be in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files? Is there anything other than those two files that needs to be set up? Do I set up an ODBC connection? Anything else? I want to execute queries against a SQL Server database and load data into Oracle database.
    Thanks so much,
    Susan

    These are the instructions from an old document I created. The steps are same for SQL Server and Sybase. Hope it helps.
    The 9i Transparent Gateway Software is in Oracle Software CD -> oracle9i database -> Custom -> Oracle Transparent Gateways
    The gateway can be installed on the same machine as the Oracle database or
    on the Sybase server or on a third machine as a stand-alone.
    We have installed the gateway software in one of oracle database
    servers in a separate oracle home.
    These are the steps involved in configuring a gateway to a Sybase database
    1.     Install Sybase client and Gateway software on the Gateway Server
    2.     Configure <initsidfile> in the Gateway Server's <gatewayhome>
         /u00/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/tg4sybs/admin/init<gatewaysid>.ora
    Sybase server and database information is required for this step.
    eg: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=USTRUD01.uwd
    3.     Add an entry in listener.ora in <listnenerhome>
         (/u00/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/network/admin/listener.ora) for the <gatewaysid>
    4.     Edit the tnsnames file (/u00/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora)
    to add an entry <tnsalias> for the <gatewaysid>
    5.     Create a database link to the Sybase database in the oracle database.
    The steps for creating the database link are
    a. create a login oracle_tgw in the sybase server
    b. add the user to the sybase database with the necessary privilege on the tables
    c. create the database link in the required oracle database using the command
         "create public database link <dblinkname> connect to oracle_tgw identified by password using 'tnsalias'; "
    6.     Restart the gateway listener.

  • Data sync between oracle and sql server

    Greetings Everyone,
    Your expert views are highly appreciable regarding the following.
    We at work are evaluation different solutions to achieve data synchronization between oracle and sql server data bases. Data sync i mentioned here is for live applications. We are runnign oracle EBS 11i with custom applications and intending to implement a custom software based on .NET and SQL Server. Now the whole research is to see updates and data changes whenever happens between these systems.
    I googled and found Oracle Golden Gate, Microsoft SSIS, Wisdom Force from Informatica....
    If you can pour in more knowledge then it's great.
    Thank You.

    Most of the work involved has to be done through scripts and there is no effective GUI to implement OGG.However using commands is not vey togh and they are very intutive.
    These are the steps, from a high level:
    1.Get the appropriate GG Software for your source and target OS.
    2.Install GG on source and target systems.
    3.Create Manager and extract processes on source system
    4.Create Manager and replicat processes on target system
    5.Start these processes.
    First try to achieve uni-directional replication. Then Bi-directional is easy.I have implemented bi-directional active active replication using Oracle DBs as source and target. Refer to Oracle installation and admin guides for more details.
    Here is a good article that may be handy in your case.

  • Sorting differences between Oracle and SQL Server

    Hello All,
    This question is related to both Oracle and SQL Server
    I have a requirement where I want to compare 2 tables line by line. One table is in Oracle and other table is in SQL Server
    And suppose that both of the tables don't have a primary key. Now when I sort the records using order by clause for a column then -
    Rows having null values in that column of Oracle are placed at the bottom.
    Where as Rows having null values in the same column of SQL Server are placed right at the top.
    How can I make either of them to behave like other.
    My sole aim is to have same order of occurrence of rows in both Oracle and SQL Server tables so that I can compare them line by line.

    For example :
    select * from emp order by comm;
    So all null value in comm column are at the end.
    Now if you wish to get them on the top of select output then :
    SELECT EMPNO,ENAME,JOB,MGR,HIREDATE,SAL,NVL(COMM,0) COMM,DEPTNO FROM EMP ORDER BY COMM;
    Means i am using NVL (oracle function) function. If comm column is having null value it will converted to zero value at the time of exectuion of select query.
    So, now comm column is having zero value in select output and SQL Server is having nulls at the top. I do'nt know who to make nulls to zero in SQL Server. So issue solved.

    Hi,
    the system dsn works fine it even tests correctly, but teh database link does not work even for something as simple as
    select sysdate from dual@person;
    the db link is a public one so priviledges should not be an issue and the command i used to create it is:
    create public database link person connect to USER identified by pwd using 'person';
    also unfortunately this is an employee initiative (said empoyee has left without documentation or notes) and there is no oracle support.
    thanks in advance.

  • Data type conversion issues between Oracle and SQL Server

    Hi there, I am using Heterogeneous Services to insert into a SQL Server database. I am running into an issue between data types regarding Oracle's VARCHAR2 and trying to insert that into a SQL Server MONEY data type. I tried using the TO_NUMBER() function to convert my VARCHAR2 to a number, but that didn't seem to help.
    Does anyone have any advice on how to work around this??
    Thanks for any help,

  • Oracle and SQL Server connectivity

    Hello,
    Currently, we use Oracle as our enterprise database. I have a new requirement to develop a new application that must use MS SQL Server which must push and pull data from the Oracle database.
    What is the best technical solution to have this communication between Oracle and SQL Server.
    Thank you.

    if you are connecting to SQL Server from Oracle then yes HS through ODBC (check HS forum), but if you are pulling data from SQL server you have an option of DTS or "shared" server through ODBC, see MS documentation for that......you won't find it on oracle forum......
