  • How to connect to SQL server 2000 with Oracle Form

    Hi,
    I'm looking for the document of how to connect "SQL Server 2000" with Oracle Form 6i. Anyone knows that?

    Shay or other knowledgeable folks,
    Is there a way to utilize the wizard for "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Business Components from Tables" for SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008. I can successfully execute sql via java programmatically or import a table from SQL Server with "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Entity Object" wizard, but the Business Components from Tables simply doesn't see any tables under any schema. Without the "Business Components from Tables", i don't get the referential constraints imported into the application and to code all those from scratch is just not as elegant. So far i have only utilized the sql server jdbc driver from Microsoft (versions, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0). Is there an alternative client that i need to use to enable selecting tables from that "Business Components from Tables" wizard. Is this a limitation of SQL Server, the jdbc driver or the wizard itself? Did anybody else experience the same issues? I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.0.1 against SQL Server 2005 (currently)
    Thanks,
    Andy

  • How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

    Hello all,
    How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
    In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
    But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
    without installing anything on the database server?
    Pls help!
    Regards,
    Sam

    Hello all,
    I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
    Transparent gateway was not required.
    Followed metalink note 109730.1
    So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
    When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
    "ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
    This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
    no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
    Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
    Pls suggest.
    Regards,
    Sam
