Database link between Oracle Standard Edition and Oracle Enterprise Edition

Hi,
I am looking at setting up a data transfer process between an Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition database and an Oracle 11g Standard Edition database. Database links would be required each way.
I heard once that this is not permitted as connecting Standard to Enterprise via a DB Link means that the Standard Edition database would now need an Enterprise license.
I have searched around but can't find anything to confirm this. Am I being mislead by this information? Is it permitted to
connect Standard to Enterprise via a DB Link?

When a db-1 has a link pointing to db-2, as far as db-2 is concerned db-1 is just another client .. no different than sqlplus. If you have an Enterprise Edition database, of course it will need to be properly licensed. But that doesn't mean all of its clients (including a SE database) have to be EE licensed.
But even my reply is just something you read on the internet. Licensing questions can only be definitively answered by Oracle itself. Ultimately you will need to put your hands on an official Oracle document or a written statement from someone authorized to make such statements.

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))
SID_LIST_LISTENER_NEW =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = SQLTEST) *+< Here SQLTEST is DSN NAME >+*
(ORACLE_HOME = G:\oracle 10g\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc))
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = G:\oracle 10g\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc) )
:> lsnrctl start LISTENER_NEW
5) Configure tnsname.ora *(Machine 2)*
SQLTEST11 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.175)(PORT = 1525))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = SQLTEST))
(HS=OK)
:> tnsping SQLTEST11
If No errors then conti….
6) Configure a file *(Machine 1)*
Cd $TNS_ADMIN ($ORACLE_HOME/network/admin)
Create a file
$ vi TEST_abcdbt_ifile.ora
something=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST =192.168.0.175) (PORT=1525))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SID=SQLTEST))
(HS=OK)
$ tnsping something
$ sqlplus system/manager
Your connected to Oracle database *(machine 1)*
create database link xyz connect to “sa” identified by “abc@123!” using ‘SOMETHING’;
select * from t@xyz;10 rows selected.

Database links between Oracle 10G and 7.1/7.3 & 8.0 databases

Hi All..
Unfortunately one of our customers is still using very very old unsupported versions of the database - 7.1 and 7.3 and 8.0. They wish to start an upgrade process - moving up to 10G (via staged upgrades) but wish to know whether they can still access information from old databases via database links.
I know that the Oracle 10G client cannot connect to database versions this old, and I am presuming that the database itself cannot via DB links but I thought it wise to check.
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Oracle 10.1 is certified to connect to 8.1.7 and later. Database links to earlier versions are not certified and generally do not work.
The general solution to this sort of thing tends to be putting an older version of the database (8.1.7 or 9.0.1, usually) between the ancient databases and the new database. 10.1 can create a database link to 9.0.1. 9.0.1 can create a database link to 7.3.4 and create views that reference remote 7.3.4 objects that the 10.1 system can query. Of course, you're taking data over the network twice, so performance isn't ideal, but it can work in a pinch.

DB link between Oracle 9i and MS SQL server2000

Hi,
Is it possible to create a DB link between Oracle 9i and MS SQL server 2000.
If it is possible what are the different ways of creating it.
Is it possible without purchasing any propietery drivers.
Thanks,
Rohit

I've never seen any documents stating that the enterprise edition is a requirement for the heterogeneous connectivity ....
There are 2 ways to set up the connection with MS SQL - using generic connectivity driver (OLE DB or ODBC) or using the Oracle Transparent Gateway.
The generic connectivity is free and comes with Oracle DB - it has several limitations - for example you can't call MS SQL stored procedures from Oracle.
The Oracle Transparent Gateways are packaged , the MS SQL gateway is part of the Open System Gateways package ($15,000.00 per CPU license cost) and i has less restrictions.

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.

Database link from oracle to db2

Can any help me to create a database link from oracle to db2. It would be greatful if you can provide me detail steps

You don't give us much information to go on. What version of Oracle? What platform is DB2 running on? You might want to take a look at this. You might also look here and here.

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?

To create a database link from oracle to sqlserver with NT authentication

Hi ,
I need to create a database link from oracle 9i to sql server database with windows authentication.I dont have the database username and password instead the access is given to my NT ID and password.So can anyone provide me the information about creating a dblink to sql server with windows authentication.
Thanks

Oracle is attempting to log in to SQL Server using NT authentication.
The Oracle process, however, is running presumably with a local admin account (normal for a Windows service). SQL Server has no idea what this local account is, so it denies the login.
You could change the Oracle service to run as a known user (presumably not as your Windows ID but some other Windows ID you create explicitly for Oracle) and then grant that Windows ID in SQL Server appropriate privileges. That would mean, though, that when you queried tables over the database link, you'd be using that new Windows ID's privileges on SQL Server, not your Windows ID's privileges.
As I've said, though, this is a general architectural limitation for a multi-tier architecture. The end system (SQL Server) generally has no idea who the end user (your Windows ID) is when that user is coming through a middle tier (Oracle). So it cannot apply end-user permissions to connections created by the middle tier.
