Interfacing Oracle with Microsoft SQL?

Hi,
My workplace uses Microsoft SQL server and I'm trying to encourage our IT department to install 10g express so we can make use of Application Express.
One problem is that the Apex application would need to access data stored in the Microsoft SQL server (there is no chance of converting it to an Oracle database anytime soon).
Are there any popular solutions for interfacing the two databases?
We would be looking at perhaps 100-500 queries on the Microsoft database per day, nothing very demanding.
Regards,
David

Thank you for the suggestion, I am open to other ideas. I am not sure what other tools are out there that will meet my needs.
Our IT department has written applications with Visual Studio and Ajax but is unable to maintain or fully debug them. They are not thrilled with the prospect of me writing a program that interfaces direclty with their database but a separate database and the web-based development environment of Apex is a possibility.
We have been planning on not linking the two databases at all but if our IT department were able to handle something such as setting up a script to replicate the data on a daily basis, perhaps we could get the link regardless.
We need to retrieve a part number, given a part name, from the MSSQL database, nothing more. This would only need to be retrieved when new records are being created.
What other tools would you recommend given this scenario?
The database will have about 30 fields, less than 100 queries per day, and up to 5 new records per day. It is not very demanding at all, in my opinion, and I wouldn't have a problem even writing something with php/mysql if that were an option but it is not.

David

The DB tools doesn't work with Microsoft SQL

I am tring to write series of waveforms to a database. The DB tools doesn't work with Microsoft SQL, but when i replace the SQL with Access, it works fine. I have to use SQL in the application.

Right off hand I would say the problem is that you are connecting through ODBC. Try the native SQL Server driver, your connect string should define the provider as "SQLOLEDB.1".

Binding in Prepared Statement is not working with Microsoft SQL Server JDBC

I ran the following program with sqljdbc4.jar in the class path. There is data in the EMPLOYEE table for the employee name DEMO but the following program is not retrieving data for DEMO. When the same program was run with Merlia.jar in the class path, it was retrieving data for DEMO.
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://SERVER23:5000;databaseName=TESTDB", "SYSADM", "SYSADM");
String sqlSele = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPNAME like ?" ;
PreparedStatement sts = con.prepareStatement(sqlSele);
sts.setString(1, "DEMO" );
ResultSet rs = sts.executeQuery();
while(rs.next())
System.out.println("driverConn.main()" + rs.toString());
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e);
e.printStackTrace();
Can someone help me out from this issue.

This is the program that I used for testing the behaviour of prepared statement with sqljdbc4.jar. Also included the code for Merlia.jar.
import java.sql.*;
public class driverConn {
     public static void main(String [] a)
          try{
          Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");

          String sqlSele = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPNAME like ?" ;
          //String sqlSele = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPNAME like ‘%DEMO%’”;
          PreparedStatement sts = con.prepareStatement(sqlSele);
          sts.setString(1, "DEMO" );

Please let me know if I am missing any config steps.

Officially, you got to use Hyperion drivers.
For BIPublisher 10.1.3.4 and ++ to connect to Ms sql server,
use the following
This works well and better.
Driver class = hyperion.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
Connection String = jdbc:hyperion:sqlserver://SERVERNAME:PORT;DatabaseName=DBNAME;
http://winrichman.blogspot.com/2009/04/hyperion-driver-to-connect-to-ms-sql.html
In older versions.
you can also copy the drivers to the lib folder or applib folder and try what you were doing.

Issue with Microsoft SQL Server, according to SAP (LMB)

We are upgrading our SAP Solution Manager and ran into a problem. SAP has passed it on to Microsoft because it appears to be an issue with our MS SQL data base. So we get a question back from Microsoft that says - -
First, you are running SAPJVM1.4 and for a 1.4 environment the 1.2
version of the Microsoft SQL Server driver must be used.
So how can I find the version number for our Microsoft SQL Server driver ?? Thanks, Jim Wells

That is a difficult topic. Some articles:

How to connect Data Services with microsoft SQL/ Steps

Dear All,
i attend to connect the SAP BO Data Services to Microsoft SQL.
1. Is there any document which explains the steps to follow?
2. Is there any document how to build a prototyp
Thank you.
Pat.

Hi Aditya,
You can use a datastore of type ODBC using the IBM Client Access driver or the DataDirect driver that comes packaged with Data Services. There is a sticky thread on downloading the DataDirect driver. There is also another option to connect with the Attunity driver for the AS400. You cannot use the DB2 UDB drivers to connect to the AS400 V6R1.

ODI with Microsoft SQL Server

Hi,
I am trying to create a physical schema to connect to Microsoft SQL Server. When asked user and password for the connection to the server, what rights must the user have in order for this to work?
And when specifying the JDBC URL, what should be the hostname, the same as the server name?
Thank you,
Adina

Hi there,
I use this configuration for connecting SQL Server:
In data server object
* Definition: the must important fields are the username and password
* JDBC:
- JDBC Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
- JDBC URL: jdbc:sqlserver:// *<SERVER IP or NAME>* : <*PORT* (optional, if not defined it will take the default)>
Then you need to create a physical schema where you're going to define the SQL Server database name and the owner or user
* Definition:
- Database(catalog): name of the SQL Server database
- Owner (schema): the name of the owner, for example dbo
- Database(work schema): again the name of the SQL Server database; not required
- Owner(work schema): not required
On local object mask I also modify this field to add the SQL Server user, for example *%CATALOG.dbo.%OBJECT*
On remote object mask I leave the same (*%DSERVER.%CATALOG.%SCHEMA.%OBJECT*)
Hope this was useful for you
Cheers,

O2C PIP with Microsoft SQL Server Based Siebel server

Hi,
We are trying to install AIA 2.2 with PIP for Order to Cash cycle. This integrates Siebel with Oracle for O2C cycle. We have done installation till AIA foundation pack successfully. Now when I looked at PIP installation guide it asks for Siebel database details. My Siebel database is MS SQL Server 2000. But installation guide only mentions installation through Oracle DB. Generally if there is any MS SQL server 2000 connection happening to Oracle, it would be through ODBC – JDBC Bridge. However I do not see any details of that sort in the installation guide.
Have you guys tried this kind of installation? If not then, can you please help me by raising this to internal community in Oracle?
Best Regards,

JSP with Microsoft sql Server 2005 Studio Express

I have a database named CS352 in MSSQL 2005 Express version, I am using Tomcat 5.5, I am trying to connect to this database with jdbc driver jtds-1.2, but I can't connect, here is the code for the connection
Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");

Is ODI compatible with Microsoft SQL Server 2008??

Hi,
We are trying to set ODI for SQL Server 2008 but we are getting an error: "connection failed". I do not know if the problem is the driver or the incompatibility between ODI and SQL Server 2008.
Does someone use them together? Are compatible?
If the response is yes, where is the problem? We are using the following JDBC driver:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<host>:<port>
And we have download the sqljdbc_2.0 driver.
Thank you very much,
Araitz.-

Hi Araitz,
I have ODI Connecting to a Master and Work Repository on SQL Server 2008
Couple of things:
- Have you put the JDBC driver in the drivers folder of you ODI installation?
- In terms of the connection strings, your driver name seems OK; This is the string I have for my URL - jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=odimaster; IntegratedSecurity=false
For the user name and password, put those in the connection area. By using IntegratedSecurity=false, you are forcing the password to be picked up from the connection area and not trying to use your AD credentials
Note - The connection string contains odimaster (this is for our ODI Designer login)
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
geeo
