Db link from oracle 9i to 8i

hi,
we have two databases one is 9i versin 9.2.0.1.0 and another one is 8i version 8.1.6.0.0.we had created database link from 9i to 8i.that link is working fine in SQL*PLUs. we are able to execute the transaction.but when we use the dblink in our forms application.forms giving the ora-600 error during compilation.
One more thing before going for production environment on compaq alpha server. we tested the whole application on windows NT 4.0 platform.we had no issue.
So can anybody throw some light on this.

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?

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.

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.

How to make data base link from oracle 11g r2 to microsoft sql 2008 express

I need to make data base link from oracle 11g r2 to microsoft sql 2008 express to make replication between then
please help me !
I didn't know what is the user and password in the command which create database link

To replicate data you can ude Database Gateway for ODBC or Database Gatewy for MS SQl Server. Please use the search engine of this forum if you ant to get more details about each product.
Some SQl Servers are set up to use Windows authentication only. In this case you won't be able to connect to the SQL Server as Windows authentication isn't supported with the gateways. You have to make sure your SQL server is supporting username and password authentication - a common user is the "sa" user. Regarding the username/password, please get in touch with your SQL Server Admin.

Problem with using database link from oracle 7 to oracle 9i

Hi To Every One
I have two oracle database oracle 7.3.4.0.1 and oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0.
and the tns alias to connect to oracle 9i database is oracle9i and tns
alias to oracle 7 database is oracle7.I have no problem in connect to
these database using these tns aliases from either database.The tns
alias for oracle 7 is available in tnsnames.ora file of oracle9i and
tns alias for oracle 9i is available in tnsnames.ora file of oracle 7.
So there is no connection problem from each other.Connection is
working fine for each other but the problem with database links is
like this
Problem:
when i create database link from oracle9i user or public database link
from oracle9i for oracle7 user like this
SQL ORACLE9I >CREATE DATABASE LINK ORACLE7 CONNECT TO <ORACLE7USER>
IDENTIFIED BY <PASSWORD> USING 'ORACLE7';
OR
SQL ORACLE9I >CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK ORACLE7 CONNECT TO <ORACLE7USER>
IDENTIFIED BY <PASSWORD> USING 'ORACLE7';
The links get created sucessfully but when i write command like
SQL ORACLE9I> DESC <ORACLE7USER_NAME>.<ORACLE7USER_TABLENAME>@ORACLE7
I RECEIVE A ORACLE ERROR LIKE
ORA-12663 SERVICE REQUIRED BY CLIENT IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE SERVER.
OR IF MY COMMAND IS LIKE
SQL ORACLE9I> SELECT <FEILD_NAME> FROM
<ORACLE7USER_NAME>.<ORACLE7USER_TABLENAME>@ORACLE7;
I RECEIVE AN ORACLE ERROR LIKE
ORA-01002 FETCH OUT OF SEQUENCE.
ORA-02063: preceding line from ORACLE7
BUT IF I CREATE A LINK FROM ORACLE7 USER FOR ORACLE9I USER
IT WORKS FINE.
PLZ HELP ME WHAT IS THE PROBLEM THAT THE LINK FOR ORACLE 7 IS NOT WORKING WHEN
IT IS BEING CREATED FROM ORACLE9I.
Thank u.

Oracle 9.2.0 does not support connectivity to Oracle 7. The newest version that will support this is 9.0.1.

Database link from Oracle to MySQL

Environment:
The Oracle Developer Days Virtual Box image, so that's 11gR2 EE on OEL. MySQL 5.1.51-community + mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.7-0.i386.rpm

So it can find and load the necessary libraries (afaik)..
So any ideas left??

Database link from Oracle 11g (64 bit) to MySQL over UnixODBC with dg4odbc

Hello,
I want to connect to a MySQL Database from Oracle over a database link, but i get always the Error Message ORA-28528: Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error .
In the forum or internet I can't find a solution for my problem, so I try now to post this problem.
Here a detailed description of the problem:
I use a Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 64bit database which is running on a redhat linux 5.3 64bit.
I want to connect to a MySql Database 5.0, which is running on a redhat linux 5.2 32bit over unixODBC.
The configuration from the ODBC seems to be good, because with isql on the ora server I can connect and query all data correct from the MySQL database.
Also the tsnnames.ora and listener.ora should be configured correctly. The tnsping works also fine.
But when i try to catch the data over SQLPlus with the database link I always get the error ORA-28528.
If I try to select just one column it works, but the returned data are incomplete or truncated.
the version of my libs:
between mysql and odbc I use libmyodbc3.so version 3.51.12-2.2 (I also tried the version 5, but with them I get a segmentation fault error on isql).
between odbc and dg4odbc I use libodbc.so version 2.2.11-7.1
Has anybody a solution or hint for me?
Many Thanks in advance,
best regards from Austria
Manuel

DB Link from Oracle to SQL Server error

Dear buddies,
I need to perfome some select on the tables which reside in SQL Server 2005 from Oracle 10g.
I followed the steps given in :
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_heterogeneous_database_connections_sql_server.htm
I could perform a TNS ping which is successful but only when I perform a select I receive this error.
ERROR at line 1:

I have checked that my dsn name is in small caps all the way wherever it is used(Since its suggested in many sites).
Please guide me.
I am really looking ahead for a solution.

I am trying to create a dblink from Oracle to SQL Server.
This is my tnsnames.ora

 (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sq))
 (HS=OK)
)This is my listener

)initsq.ora
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sq
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>I have created my System DSN for sq with the appropriate values which works fine when I tested the connection.
These 2 databases are in different servers.
This is how I created the db link in Oracle
create public database link sq
CONNECT TO XXX IDENTIFIED BY "XXX"
using 'sq'
select "Column1"
from "Table1"@'sq';The error I receive is: ORA-01729: database link name expected
When I try to recreate the database link it tells me that: ORA-02011: duplicate database link name
I hope someone could guide me.
Thanks.

Why data change in linked table in Access - link from Oracle DB

Can someone please help me to solve this situation? I try to find out why data is changed from Oracle to Access. I must come back to this thread because lot of data in my Oracle database is defined as NUMBER(22), and I am using Access heavily.
Here is the problem:
In Access, I created ODBC connection (System DSN) to Oracle 9.2 database by using Oracle driver (NOT Microsoft ODBC for Oracle). Then I linked tables from Access with the Oracle table. What happens is that the number in Access linked table is displayed as a scientific number. Is there a way that I can preserve whatever I have in Oracle database?
For example:
Comp_ID in Oralce is defined as NUMBER(22) = 40000000000324003; In Access it looks like this 4.0000000000324E+16.
What I have in my system:
1- Oracle 9.2 client
2- Oracle driver
3- Access 2003
4- Jet - SP 8

Can someone please help me to solve this situation? I try to find out why data is changed from Oracle to Access. I must come back to this thread because lot of data in my Oracle database is defined as NUMBER(22), and I am using Access heavily.
Here is the problem:
In Access, I created ODBC connection (System DSN) to Oracle 9.2 database by using Oracle driver (NOT Microsoft ODBC for Oracle). Then I linked tables from Access with the Oracle table. What happens is that the number in Access linked table is displayed as a scientific number. Is there a way that I can preserve whatever I have in Oracle database?
For example:
Comp_ID in Oralce is defined as NUMBER(22) = 40000000000324003; In Access it looks like this 4.0000000000324E+16.
What I have in my system:
1- Oracle 9.2 client
2- Oracle driver
3- Access 2003
4- Jet - SP 8

Urgent:db link from oracle 10g to sql server 2000

Hi
I have a db link 10g from oracle to sql server 2000. This was created a couple of years ago. This is working.
I have now created another db link from same oracle server to the same sql server but it is not working.
But I am getting ORA-28500 and IM002 error
.Please advise.
I am unable to understand what is wrong because I have followed the hs odbc set up on this db link in the same way as I had done 2 yrs ago.
Thanks
Shailaja

Just sorted the problem.
Basically I am using HSODBC to communicate from Oracle (on windows 2003 64 bit) to SQL Server.
To do this, I need to create a ODBC connection from Oracle to SQL Server.
HSODBC is a 32 bit application and hence we have to use the ODBC 32 bit driver when we create the ODBC connection.
When I created the ODBC connection from Oracle to SQL Server, I was using the ODBC 64 bit driver and hence the system was unable to find the data source name.
I have now created ODBC connection from Oracle to SQL Server using the ODBC 32 bit driver and everything works fine now.
No offence to anyone but as you all work using Oracle software , I was hoping a better response than some of the above responses. You can just say that you didnt understand the question or you dont know the reason why that happened.
I just listed how the problem was sorted so that any one in future having the same problem can benefit.

Error While Querying DB Link from Oracle 10g to Postgres 8.2

Hi,
I have installed unixodbc 2.3.1, postgres odbc driver (psqlodbc-07.03) and dg4odbc 11.2
On querying : select sysdate from dual@dblink_postgresql, the following error occurs:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:

Similar error appears in the trace file as well.

Do I need to install postgres software also?
While installing postgres odbc driver in /oracle/psqlodbc only two folders were created viz. lib and share
In lib folder two files were created viz. psqlodbc.la and libpsqlodbc.a
And everybody on the net seems to refer psqlodbc.so in the "Driver = " parameter
Today, I extracted the libpsqlodbc.a by using ar -X 64 -xv libpsqlodbc.a again, still no file with .so has been created.
