I want to query sql server database from oracle

i want to query sql server database from oracle
can anyone help me in this regard

First of all - you are in the wrong forum.
Look either for the Database general or search for Transparant / Heterogenous Gateways.

Querying SQL server table from Oracle database 11g

Hi all
We are using oracle database 11g R2 on REL 5 and i have an SQL server database used by one of our application.
In my Oracle database, i want to query one table in my SQL server database and to link it in a table in Oracle database to compare data.
Is there a way like database link or something else to do this need>
Please send a link or pots here step by step the way on how to accomplish my query.
Thank you.

Yes, you can set up your SQL Server as an external database link, using Oracle Heterogeneous Services with SQL Server as an ODBC connection (easier to do if your Oracle server is a Windows server, a little more tricky if your Oracle server is *nix based)
Here's the documentation... for 11gR2

Access SQL-Server Data from Oracle 10gXE

Hello,
I want to access sql-server data from oracle 10g XE. I need the same functionality provided by Sql-server by Linked Servers, by which we can query on any data source(oracle, Excel, Access).
do, Oracle 10gXE provide us with same functionality ???
any pointers ???

Yes, it does work with Express Edition.
Here is a thread from the XE forum with examples.
Re: Database Link to MS Access
They refer to a MS Access database, but the procedure is the same.

How to create a .mdf SQL Server database from a Data-Tier Application file that has data?

This is a noob question, though I do use SQL Server databases all the time with Entity Framework when I code in C# using Visual Studio 2013. The development environment is found below at [A]. I am trying to make a clone of a SQL Server 2008 R2
database (.mdf) that exists online. I can read, connect and work with this database in Visual Studio 2013, but I wish to make a local copy of the database, as an .MDF file. Somewhere in my notes I have a way of creating a local copy from
an online database when using Visual Studio but I forgot how (it seems, reviewing my notes, that it deals with ADO.NET which is deprecated in Visual Studio 2013 these days, or so it seems). So I'm looking for another way. What I did was create
(or export) a "Data-Tier Application File" from the online SQL Server database, with data, and it seems to have worked in that this Data-Tier Application file exists on my hard drive and seems to have data in it ("SQL Server Replication Snapshot"
is the format it seems). It contains skeleton code to create a database, but when I tried to execute it with SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, I got a bunch of errors.
So my question is:
1) Can I somehow create a .MDF SQL Server Database from an Data-Tier Application file that has data? What tool do I use? I saw this link, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2639.how-to-use-data-tier-application-import-and-export-with-a-windows-azure-sql-database.aspx
and it relates to Azure, but is there a tool for C#Visual Studio 2013, standalone?
2) If there's an easy way to create a .mdf SQL Server Database file from an online file, within SQL Server Management Studio? I don't think so, since it would require Administrator permissions on the online server, which I don't have. I have permission
to read, update, delete the online database file, but strangely not to download it (the service I use has a tool for backup, but not for download).
3) same question as 2), but for Visual Studio 2013? I don't think so, since I notice none of the templates even mentions ADO.NET anymore, but instead they go with Entity Framework. Using EF I can of course do anything I want with the online database
(CRUD), but it remains online. Maybe there's a switch to make a local copy? I guess I could write a short program to suck all the data out of the online database and put it into a new, duplicate database having the same tables, that I create on
my localhost, but my question here is if there's an easier way than this, maybe a tool or command I can run from inside Visual Studio?
Any advice on any of the above questions is appreciated.
Thank you,

Thanks but these links are too general to help.
"2. what do you mean by online file?" - I mean the SQL Server database file is on a remote web server that I rent from, but I am not the administrator of. I can access my database using SQL Server Authentication, but nothing more.

What do you mean by too general? It explains on how you can use data tier application to create and deploy databases
May be this will help you to understand better

Migrating SQL Server database to Oracle 8i - any known issues

Hi,
I am in the process of migrating SQL Server database to Oracle 8i for testing purpose.
When I do migrate SQL Server database to Oracle 8i, am I doing any harm to the exiting
SQL Server database? Would the users be able to use SQL Server database as usual?? Are
there any known issues in this regard?
Please reply.
Thanks.

Ramesh Hi Ramesh!
The Migration Workbench does not make any modifications to the SQL Server database. It only reads information from it. Your users should be able to use the SQL Server database as usual.
Please note however that if you migrate the data over to Oracle using the Migration Workbench and your users continue to enter/update data in the exiting SQL Server database then you may need to move all that data over again in order to have the most up to date data in the Oracle database.
thanks

Quick Migrate: SQL Server database to Oracle

When I try Quick Migrate: SQL Server database to Oracle, I get the following error messages:
1. Locating source plugin...failed
2. Checking multi-schema privileges...Privilege 'CREATE ROLE" is not granted with admin option.
Error #1 I do not understand.
Error #2: I created the user as follows:

Thanks
Murray

Murray,
Apologies for referring to the 1.5 documentation but the 2.1 documentation still has the same information about creating a user to hold the repository.
You initially reported 2 problems -
1. Locating source plugin...failed
2. Checking multi-schema privileges...Privilege 'CREATE ROLE" is not granted with admin option.
For the first error have you installed the necessary JDBC driver ? I have just installed SQL*Developer 2.1 on a new laptop and could successfully connect following the documentation steps -
Oracle® SQL Developer
User’s Guide
Release 2.1
2.5.2 Before Migrating From Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server
To configure a Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database for
migration:
1. Ensure that the source database is accessible by the Microsoft SQL Server or
Sybase Adaptive Server user that is used by SQL Developer for the source
connection. This user must be able to see any objects to be captured in the
Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database; objects that the user
cannot see are not captured. For example, if the user can execute a stored
procedure but does not have sufficient privileges to see the source code, the stored
procedure cannot be captured.
2. Ensure that you can connect to the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive
Server database from the system where you have installed SQL Developer.
3. Ensure that you have downloaded the JTDS JDBC driver from
http://jtds.sourceforge.net/.
4. In SQL Developer, if you have not already installed the JTDS driver using Check
for Updates (on the Help menu), do the following:
a. Click Tools, then Preferences, then Database, then Third Party JDBC Drivers.
b. Click Add Entry.
c. Select the jar file for the JTDS driver you downloaded from
http://jtds.sourceforge.net/.
d. Click OK.
========
The second error is again documented in the 2.1 documentation -
5.99 Privilege Warning for Migration
This dialog box is displayed if you click Verify in the Quick Migrate box and the
database user for the connection does not have all privileges necessary for a
multischema migration. For multischema migrations, this user must granted the
RESOURCE role with the ADMIN option; and this user must also be granted the
CREATE ROLE, CREATE USER, and ALTER ANY TRIGGER privileges, all with the
ADMIN option.
If you are performing a single-schema migration, you can ignore this warning.
=====
Which errors are you now seeing and which user was used to hold the repository ?
If you are using GRAINTEST for the repository then create it using this syntax -
CREATE USER GRAINTEST IDENTIFIED BY password <=== change password as necessary
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp; <=== change tablespaces as necessary
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, CREATE VIEW, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO
GRAINTEST WITH ADMIN OPTION;
GRANT ALTER ANY ROLE, ALTER ANY SEQUENCE, ALTER ANY TABLE, ALTER TABLESPACE,
ALTER ANY TRIGGER, COMMENT ANY TABLE, CREATE ANY SEQUENCE, CREATE ANY TABLE,
CREATE ANY TRIGGER, CREATE ROLE, CREATE TABLESPACE, CREATE USER, DROP ANY
SEQUENCE, DROP ANY TABLE, DROP ANY TRIGGER, DROP TABLESPACE, DROP USER, DROP ANY
ROLE, GRANT ANY ROLE, INSERT ANY TABLE, SELECT ANY TABLE, UPDATE ANY TABLE TO
GRAINTEST with admin option ;
then when making the migration make sure the Oracle connection is to this user.
Please update the thread with the errors you get after following these steps.
Regards,
Mike

Calling SQL Server Function from Oracle Database link

Hi ,
i have some data from a old SQL server i would i can access with a database link but i cant call function from my database link.
i would like to do something like
@SPAN_PROD = Database link
_EnerttObtApReelBassSys is a Table function from my SQL server
SELECT *
FROM "_EnerttObtApReelBassSys('20120504',4,1)"@SPAN_PROD
WHERE DateEffectiveDebut <= GetDate()
AND DateEffectiveFin > GetDate()
any help ?
Thnx

I have a SP in SQL Server which will return a Result Set.
My requirement is to call that procedure in ORACLE using DB Link and insert that resultset(Data) in the temp table.First you need to setup Oracle to SQL Server connectivity. To do that you can either use HS - heterogeneous connectivity which comes for free or use Oracle Transparent Gateway which is not free. HS uses ODBC, so if your Oracle database in not on windows, you'll have to get ODBC SQL Server driver for Unix/Linux (e.g. from EasySoft). Since SQL Server selecting from table function syntax is different from Oracle's you will have to, if you use HS, to use DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH package. I never worked with Oracle Transparent Gateway to SQL Server, so I don't know if and how it supports selecting from SQL Server table function.

My Experiences re: Migrating SQL Server Database to Oracle

I am using SQL Developer EA4 for thsi conversion, best attempt yet.
I had numerous problems with this conversion.
1. The wizard asked me to specify the new Oracle database; instead it just ignored this information and created an Oracle database similarly named as the SQL Server database. I also noticed a file name "Migration.out" was produced; it contained errors such as:
Error starting at line 3 in command:
CREATE USER Emulation IDENTIFIED BY Emulation DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP
Error at Command Line:3 Column:36
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges" and
Error starting at line 4 in command:
GRANT CREATE SESSION, RESOURCE, CREATE VIEW, CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW, CREATE SYNONYM,CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO Emulation
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges" and
Error starting at line 7 in command:
CREATE USER dbo_COREv13 IDENTIFIED BY dbo_COREv13 DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP

Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges".
I followed all of the steps listed in the "Help" section re: Migrations but still ended up with these errors.
2. My schema consists of 1000+ tables; approximately 10 tables were NOT created. When I copied the SQL from Migration.sql making NO changes and pasted it into the new Oracle database it created without issues.
3. While the conversion is taking place, different objects (constraints, indexes, foreign keys, etc) are shown to be copied; their appears to be ordering of these items. Shouln't a dependancy tree be established, and object converted based on this?
4. Several tables, in my case about 250 tables did NOT get any data copied across. No reasons given.
5. A log of all activities should be produced for review and completeness.
6. I tried to use the "Migrate select tables" option but met with no success. Apparently, it makes an assumption that both the "source" and "target" databases wil be of the same type (ie both SQL Server or both Oracle); this does not make any sense to me since the point of the exercise is to migrate data from one database vendor to another. Obviously, different database vendors use differing datatypes for similar data (ie dates).
7. I noticed in the "Migration" sql that the "Connect" statements are not correct; they were missing the "instance name" portion.
8. Also, when I looked in the "MIGRATION" sql, I could not find any entries for the last step of the conversion - the movement of data from SQL Server to Oracle. Is this intentional or an oversight.
I dont want to appear negative on this Migration; I have used SQL Developer since it inception; in my opinion this is the best attempt to date.
Murray Sobol

Hi Murray,
Thanks for this feedback.
There is a lot of questions here, I think some of it boils down to misunderstandings, which we should clarify in the doc.
Hopefully Ill get a video of a migration online soon as well.
But here is a brief break down.
*1.*
"The wizard asked me to specify the new Oracle database; instead it just ignored this information and created an Oracle database similarly named as the SQL Server database."
So this relates to Step 7 of the Migration Wizard. Where you can select the target connection.
SQL Developer doesn't ignore the Target Connection you selected, It just uses it to connect to the target database , not the target schema.
SQL Developer generates a new target schema for the migrated objects. It standard approach is not to generate objects directly into an existing Schema.
The Target Connection is used to create all the migrated objects (including new Oracle Schemas) in your target oracle database. So you should choose an Oracle Target Connection which has enough privileges to create new Schemas and Objects.
But as you have found, it doesn't generate the migrate objects , like tables, ... , directly into your chosen Target Connection.
From the errors you encountered it doesn't sound like the Target Connection (and the underling Oracle Schema) doesn't have the privileges to create other Schemas.
If you use something like a connection to the SYSTEM schema on your target database, it should run OK.
It wont create any objects in SYSTEM, rather it will use SYSTEM privileges to create a new schema (ex: dbo_Northwind) and populate it.
You don't have to use SYSTEM, but you do need a schema with enough privileges to create other schemas.
That is the straight forward way. But if you really need to generate into an existing schema the following steps can be taken.
a)rename the schema under the Converted Database Objects
b)Right click "Converted Databases Objects" and choose generate. it will kick off the Migration Wizard in the correct place
*2.*
My schema consists of 1000+ tables; approximately 10 tables were NOT created. When I copied the SQL from Migration.sql making NO changes and pasted it into the new Oracle database it created without issues.
When you say Migration.sql , is the entire generation file , which can be found in your <outputspecified>/generated/<projectname.modelname>.sql ?
When your say "pasted it into the new Oracle database" , are you running it in SQL Developers SQL Worksheet using the Target Connection.
Basically your migration is all out of shape once the target Schemas are not created. So the above issues (insufficient privileges) has to be resolved first.
Please post back if it is still an issue.
*3.*
While the conversion is taking place, different objects (constraints, indexes, foreign keys, etc) are shown to be copied; their appears to be ordering of these items. Shouln't a dependancy tree be established, and object converted based on this?
Objects are converted in a particular order and their dependencies are persisted so that they can be generated in the correct order.
Are you seeing an issue?
*4.*
Several tables, in my case about 250 tables did NOT get any data copied across. No reasons given.
I'm surprised any tables were populated with data due to the target schema not being created.
The online data move is pretty simple and it does not report or recover very well from issues.
If you are having difficulties once item 1. is resolved, please post an example of the source table and I will give it a go.
For better control of the data move with much more powerful tweaking, error handling, reporting and performance try the offline data move.
SQL Developer can created a suite of scripts which use SQL Servers BCP tool to dump out the data to dat files, and Oracle SQL*Loader tool to insert the data in the dat file into Oracle.
*5.*
A log of all activities should be produced for review and completeness.
The output/generated/<projectname.modelname>.out provides the output of running the generation script.
The migration reports http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2010/11/migration-reports-30.html outline what happens during the migration.
Apart from online data move issues, is there any other data missing?
*6.*
I tried to use the "Migrate select tables" option but met with no success. Apparently, it makes an assumption that both the "source" and "target" databases wil be of the same type (ie both SQL Server or both Oracle); this does not make any sense to me since the point of the exercise is to migrate data from one database vendor to another. Obviously, different database vendors use differing datatypes for similar data (ie dates).
Do you mean "Copy To Oracle" ? This option is intended to migrate tables from non Oracle databases like SQL Server to Oracle.
Can you give more details on what issue you are seeing.
*7.*
I noticed in the "Migration" sql that the "Connect" statements are not correct; they were missing the "instance name" portion.
The generation script is meant to be run using SQL Developers SQL Worksheet. I think you only get this "instance name" issue if running from SQL*Plus.
Can you confirm
8. Also, when I looked in the "MIGRATION" sql, I could not find any entries for the last step of the conversion - the movement of data from SQL Server to Oracle. Is this intentional or an oversight.
The online data move is performed separately from creating the objects. It is not script based, it uses JDBC to pump the data from the source database to the target database.
In summary , I would
a) Create a connection to your Target database using your SYSTEM schema
b) Right click on your "Converted Database Objects" and choose "Generate Target"
c) Choose your new "System" connection as the Target Connection
d) Follow the Migration Wizard to the end.
You will end up with a new target Schema and the migrated objects in it.
Check the .out file to see the errors
and the migration reports http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2010/11/migration-reports-30.html

How to import sql server database into oracle

Hi,
i have a backup of database(complete) from sql server, Is there any way to import that backup database into oracle environment.
Please let me know the process
Thanks

No. You cannot simply import binary data files from a 3rd party database directly into Oracle.
You can use bcp on SQL-Server to unload the data to CSV and then use Oracle's SQL*Loader to load it.
You can run a SQL-Server database instance and an Oracle database instance, and use a heterogeneous database link from Oracle (working via ODBC) to connect to SQL-Server - and use SQL statements to pull object definitions and data from SQL-Server into Oracle.

Recover SQL Server database from SUSPECT mode

Hi Expert DBAs,
As I know the database should be restored from backup and logs reapplied. That’s the first and generally recommended approach any time a DB is suspect, whether it’s from log or data file corruption.
But if I have no backups then we follow below steps ( after Googling I found these steps on most of the websites ):
1.EXEC sp_resetstatus ‘yourDBname’;
2.ALTER DATABASE yourDBname SET EMERGENCY
3.DBCC checkdb(’yourDBname’)
4.ALTER DATABASE yourDBname SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
5.DBCC CheckDB (’yourDBname’, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)
6.ALTER DATABASE yourDBname SET MULTI_USER
Now my question is,
1. If after executing DBCC CHECKDB at 3rd step, it shows inconsistency.Then I will execute SET SINGLE USER WITH ROLLBACK & if after executing DBCC CHECKDB at 3rd step, no errors found. Then what will be the steps?
2. When we execute DBCC CHECKDB (' DBNAME ', REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) how can we recover lost data during process.As far as I know some data will loss and if it will happen then business will get suffered.
3. Why run DBCC CHECKDB() WITH REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS if there are no consistency errors in the database?
I am stucked in these questions....

There is no easy or same steps, it all depends on what error and what caused suspect.
Example is below:
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/2015/recovery-sql-server-suspect-mode/
2) Straight answer would be no you cant recover if no backup. Again it all depends what error checkdb returns and some things can be tried as explained earlier but no guarantee.
The REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option is not the best option for bringing a database to a physically consistent state. If successful, the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option may result in some data loss. In fact, it may result in more data lost than if a user were to
restore the database from the last known good backup. Microsoft always recommends a user restore from the last known good backup as the primary method to recover from errors reported by DBCC CHECKDB. The REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option is not an alternative
for restoring from a known good backup. It is an emergency “last resort” option recommended for use only if restoring from a backup is not possible.
Certain errors, that can only be repaired using the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option, may involve deallocating a row, page, or series of pages to clear the errors. Any deallocated data is no longer accessible or recoverable for the user, and the exact contents
of the deallocated data cannot be determined. Therefore, referential integrity may not be accurate after any rows or pages are deallocated because foreign key constraints are not checked or maintained as part of this repair operation. The user must inspect
the referential integrity of their database (using DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS) after using the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option.

How do I connect to an SQL Server Database from CR XI?

Hello All,
I posted previously to this forum but did not get any response. There surely must be a way to connect to SQL Server from CR XI? My problem is that I keep on getting prompted for a PW or get a message saying "Logon Failed"
Please see my earlier post, with code sample, on Page 4 (or now 5 or 6 .....)
"How to log on to SQL 2000 programmatically using VB6 RDC and CR XI "
I would really appreciate a response from someone as I need to get some pressing work finished for a client.
Thanks so much in advance
Peter Tyler
