But you have to remember one big thing - I've not seen yet one compare that was completely indifferent to any of the included DB's. So you can be sure that every doc that you get on MS website will say that SQL server is better, every doc on Oracle website will say that Oracle is better. Every doc on other websites will say that better DB either is:
1) DB that has payed for the reserach paper
2) DB that was mostly used by the researchers
So of course you should be very cautious about each paper you get.

How to create ODBC connection between Oracle 10g and MS SQL Server

Hi,
Can someone help us with the steps to create an ODBC connection between Oracle APPS using Oracle 10g database and MS SQL Server.
Requirement is to extract the transactional data from MS SQL Server on a daily basis and dump it into Oracle tables for an interface to be run. Currently it is being done through Dataloader tool which we feel is causing the data issue with Arabic characters. We want to create the ODBC directly between Oracle and MS SQL Server and check if the data is being pulled correctly.
The data is in sql server 2000 which has data in Arabic_CI_AS character set which is moved to Oracle 10.2.0.3 database with characterset AL32UTF8. The table data is moved to oracle using the dataloader 3.6 standard edition licensed version. We cannot change the character set of Sql Server 2000.
Please help
Thanks

Hi,
If you're trying to PULL data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you wouldnt use Oracle ODBC driver for that, so you may want to post in the Heterogeneous Services forum instead:
Heterogeneous Connectivity
If you're trying to PUSH data from SQLServer into an Oracle database, you could use ODBC but most folks use OLEDB for that, and the following note on MOS should help:
How to Create a Sql Server Linked Server With The Oracle Provider for OLE DB (Doc ID 191368.1)
As with any NLS related issue, the first thing to do is dump the codepoints of the data in the Oracle database to see if it is stored validly, rather than relying on what the data "looks like" from some tool or other. It's best to check a single row, with only a few characters in it if you can, and you can do that via
SELECT DUMP(<columname>,1016) FROM <tablename> WHERE ...
Hope it helps,
Greg

Oracle 8i and Ms SQL Server 2000

Hi
I have the problem that we need to install a Oracle 8i Application Server on a Microsoft
Windows 2000 Server Sp4 whit have an Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Sp3 on it
The installation runs well, but the Net8 Configuration don´t finish.
Know anybody a solution for this?

MSs Jdbc Driver still requires Jdbc-Odbc bridge.
Just go thru the URL,
http://www.weblogic.com/docs/techsupport/faq/jdbckona_m
sqlserver.html#bridge
Hope this helps.
SudhaThanks for the URL, but I think this page does not refer to the beta-JDBC driver which MS has made available recently. For instance it says that Microsoft's driver is a type 2 driver, while in reality it is type 4.

Connection between Oracle 9i and MS Sql Server 2005

Hey Guys,
I am hoping to create materialized view of data on a small sql server box using our oralce 9i cluster. Anyway, i have done this with mysql using the standard odbc dirvers and a dblink, but i am having trouble finding an odbc driver for the connection from oracle to sql server. So, i was wondering if you guys know of a free, or cheap odbc driver, or have a suggestion of an alternative connection method.
PS: i have see: Heterogeneous Services Agents and Transparent gateways floating around, so are these options that don't need the odbc drivers and are free?
Thanks in advance

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.
Overview:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oracle9i/datasheets/gateways/gateway_rel2_ds.html

Oracle (Linux) to MS SQL Server 2000 (Windows 2003) with OTG

I have Oracle 9i Release 1 running on linux and i want to use Transparent Gateway to connect to MS SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2003. Is it possible to setup this connection?
If yes, please include the detail approach of installation.
Thank you....

Dear kgronau
i tried the transperent gateway in Win2003
both sqlserver and oracle 10 g onthe same os (win2003)
Created listener and tnsname settings as per the documention spec..
then created a database link for sqlserver here.
my transpernet gateway works without any problem,
Then,
I have Oracle on Linux also,
i created a tnsname settings here for the win2003 listener (for sqlserver connection).
then created a database link for sqlserver here
im not able to connect sqlserver.
i tried to desc one table (sqlserver)
the following error i get,
do you have any idea, what i have missed???
SQL> DESC CUSTOMERS@SQLDB
ERROR:
ORA-02068: following severe error form SQLDB
ORA-03135: connection lost contact
please give some hints what is the problem
remember the listener is running on windows 2003

Oracle 10g connectivity with sql server 2000 through oracle transpa gateway

dear gurus.
i am to connecto oracle 10g with sql server 2000 through oracle transparent gateway.
i have installed transparent gateway and proper configured. also link is created.
but when i execute query "select * from city@inventory" , so an error displayed.
ORA-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process.
kindly suggest me what could be the cause.
regards,

if the listener fails to spawn a dedicated server process it is commonly indicating an issue with the listener. So posting the listener and also a listener trace including a description of the env where you installed the gateway into which directory would be helpfull. Please keep also in mind if you have for example a 10.2.0.3 database and you install into this directoty a 10.2.0.1 gateway you have to reapply the patchset again do get consistent file version.
So please describe more detailed your env.

Oracle XE connection to SQL Server 2000

Hello everybody,
I need to make a connection to a table in SQL Server 2000. I am using Oracle XE with Apex 3.0.1.
SQL and XE are on the same server(windows server 2003).
I need to make an application that uses some data of the SQL Server and for the rest it uses data from Oracle XE.
How can I make this connection to SQL Server from Oracle XE? Some suggestion where I should start, would be great.
It would be great if the Apex developers would not notice that the data is retrieved from SQL Server, is this possible?
For 10g there is a gateway for this I believe, but not for XE.
Thank you for your time!

Siebel 8.1 and MS SQL Server 2000

I am upgrading our Siebel 7.8 instance running on MS SQL Server 2000 to Siebel 8.1 and MS SQL Server 2008. My original intent was to upgrade the database first (so that we would be runing Siebel 7.8 on MS SQL Server 2008), and then upgrade the application to 8.1.
I have been running into resource issues with regard to the SQL Server upgrade. My question is:
Can Siebel 8.1.1 run on MS SQL Server 2000?
Thanks.
-- Ken

Hi
You can migrate your 7.8 to MSSQL 2008 as this is a supported platform.
Usually in an upgrade you will upgrade your development db platform as a source of your 8.1 upgrade process.
For information, a reference document is the Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms aka SRSP
[SRSP 7.8|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11886_01/V7/CORE/SRSP_78/SRSP78.pdf]
[SRSP 8.1| http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11886_01/V8/CORE/SRSP_81/SRSP_81.pdf]
