MS SQL Server - Oracle8 on Linux

I have a massive table structures (and data in them too) which
was created in a MS SQL server database. I now need to find a
way to convert that database into an oracle DB. The fact that I
am using Oracle on linux seems to compound the problem. Anyone
here have any experience with this? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Have you tried Data Junction?

Installing SQL Server 2012 on Linux Ubuntu

Hello, Can I install SQL Server 2012 on Linux Ubuntu? So far I can only find downloads of ODBC for Red Hat. Any ideas?

Hi Mike,
Please also take a look at the following article regarding the Operating System requirement to install SQL Server:
Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2012:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx
As Sean said, we can connect to SQL Server via ODBC from Linux Ubuntu. Here are some articles for your reference, please see:

SQL Server Driver for Linux causes Segmentation Fault

Hello,
I'm using the SQL Server Driver 11.0.1790 on Linux with mod_perl and Apache. While running fine with all my CLI Perl apps I occasionally get Segmentation Faults when using it from within mod_perl applications. Sometimes every other connect to the database
segfaults. I've created a core dump and did a stack backtrace:
Loaded symbols for /usr/lib/../lib64/libxml2.so.2
Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/httpd2 -X'.

Calling something at NULL obviously doesn't look right…
Can onebody help fixing this issue?
Best regards,
Stephan

Hi Stephan,
This is a bug in the unixODBC Driver Manager 2.3.0. Essentially, you can only have one HDBC per HENV. The mod_perl must be creating the connections upon the same HENV.
The bug appears to be fixed in version 2.3.1 but we have not yet certified that out driver can work with 2.3.1. See the 2.3.1 release notes at
http://www.unixodbc.org/ where the last item says:
"Driver version was not being held when a second connection was made to the driver"
The Driver Manager would "forget" that we are an ODBC V3 driver and try intereacting with us as an ODBC V2 driver for the second connection (which fails).
The workaround is to create a new HENV for each connection but I'm not sure if this is possible in mod_perl.

How To access MS SQL Server 2000 in Linux

I have a MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows2000,
For some speical reasons,I need to write a JAVA
Program running on Linux which can access datas
in MS SQL Server....How do I code????

You should be able to it, but I think you'll need to use a third party JDBC driver.
I've used a driver from http://www.jturbo.com and another from http://www.inetsoftware.de/ , and if my memory is correct both worked quite well. You can search for other 3rd party drivers here: http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers
Good luck.

Connecting to MS SQL Server on UNIX/LINUX

Hello friends,
Is there a driver available to connect to MS SQL Server from a java application or servlet running on UNIX or Linux box?
Is there a way to create ODBC connection to it on UNIX?
Thank you!

Is there a driver available to connect to MS SQL Server from a java application or servlet running on UNIX or Linux box? Quite probably. Go here to find out:
http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers
Is there a way to create ODBC connection to it on UNIX?I've heard something about a Unix ODBC simulator, but I wouldn't bother with that. ODBC is not necessary in this situation.

I am sorry, i did not go through the entire message of yours
Does AA exist, does not contain columns, describe the table please.
Maybe you should not try Select * from ,,,, rather Select specific fields.. Also if in the remote database, the field and tablename are written in lower case you may want to try
select "field_name" , from "aa" etc

MS SQL Server ODBC Connection On Linux

Hi All,
I am badly stuck with configuration of MS SQL Server ODBC connection on SUSE Linux 10. I am almost tried everything I got from SAP notes but still getting ODBC Lib Data Direct drivers could not be loaded IES 10901.
ENV: SAP BO 4.0 SP7, MS SQL SRV 2008
Here is what I have tried so far:
1) Modified env.sh under /install_dir/sap_bobj/setup and added the line in bold.
":${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib:${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/$SOFTWAREPATH32/odbc/lib"
The line should look like this
LIBRARYPATH="$LIBDIR:$LIBDIR32:$WCSCOMPONENTDIR:$PLUGINDIST/auth/secEnterprise:${CRPEPATH64}:${CRPEPATH}:${MWHOME}:$PLUGINDIST/desktop/CrystalEnterprise.Report:
${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/$SOFTWAREPATH32/ras:${BOBJEDIR}mysql/lib:${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib:${BOBJEDIR}enterprise_xi40/$SOFTWAREPATH32/odbc/lib”
2) We have .odbc.ini file in the home directory of our BO user on linux. Added following DSN entry (Same DSN is created on client and odbc connection has been created on the universe using this DSN:
boeadm01:~> vi .odbc.ini
[DSN_NAME]
Driver=/opt/sapboe/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib/CRsqls24.so
Description=DataDirect 6.0 SQL Server Native Wire Protocol
HostName=SQL Server Hostname
Database=SQL DB Name
QuotedId=Yes
AnsiNPW=No
3) We then added the environment variables and LIBPATH in BO user .profile file.
boeadm01:~> vi .profile
#Sql Server Environment
ODBCINI=$HOME/.odbc.ini
export ODBCINI
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sapboe/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
4) Did echo to check the LIBPATH
boeadm01:~> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/sapboe/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/linux_x64/odbc/lib
5) Modified sqlsrv.sbo under /install_dir/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/dataAccess/connectionServer/odbc
<Parameter Name="Use DataDirect OEM Driver" Platform="Unix">Yes</Parameter>
6) Restarted BO node.
Tried creating a new webi report and got the error mentioned above.
Please help!!!
Thanks,
Anshul

Link to SQL Server fails

Oracle: 11gR2 on Linux and tryed following the instructions found on (therefore some generic stuff inside the files):
http://www.gotodba.com/install-and-configure-db-link-to-sql-server-database-in-linux.html
Steps:
Step 1
Installed FreeTDS and configured /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini with the following:
[ODBC Data Sources]
MYDB2=IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER
SQLDB=FreeTDS
[SQLDB]
Driver = /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so
#Driver = /usr/lib64/libodbc.so
Server = 10.0.0.9
Database = komspom_kanc
Port = 3488
TDS_Version = 8.0
Afterwards I can successfully login to the SQL server using:
isql -v SQLDB <userid> <password>
Step 2
Created the initSQLDB.ora file in $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin with the lines:
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for the Database Gateway for ODBC
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SQLDB
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME = /usr/lib64/libodbc.so
HS_DB_NAME = SQLDB
HS_DB_DOMAIN = GOTODBA.COM
HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS = FALSE
# ODBC specific environment variables
set ODBCINI=/etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
Step 3
Added the following lines to listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER_TWNYCSLD04=
(SID_LIST=
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /shared/app/komisija/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
(SID_NAME = SQLDB)
(PROGRAM = dg4odbc)
(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64:/usr/local/freetds/lib:/shared/app/komisija/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib)
and reloaded the listener:
lisnrctl reload
Step 4
Added the following line to tnsnames.ora:
SQLDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = linux1.kons.gov.ba)(
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = SQLDB)
(HS = OK)
afterwards tnsping SQLDB runs fine...
Step 5
Created a link as sys:
create database link sqldb.gotodba.com
connect to user
identified by "password"
using 'SQLDB';
But after I run
select * from "myTable"@sqldb.gotodba.com;
I get:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from SQLDB.GOTODBA.COM
What could be wrong and how to test where exactly shit hits the fan, pardon my language :)

Ok, my bad... Was editing the listener.ora blindly instead of reading the documentation. I think ths should now be more or less correct?
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /shared/app/komisija/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/listener.ora

ODBC connect to SQL Server 2005 from Oracle 10.2.0.3 32bit Linux

I’m unable to establish a connection from Oracle 10.2.0.3 32bit Linux to SQL Server 2005.
The ODBC driver is the 32bit DataDirect 5.3 drivers and when I do a status on the listener it does have a handler for SQLDB
Any help is appreciated.

The error message is indicating problems loading the driver manager.
A common issue on Linux (especially on Suse Linux) is related to library caching. First of all make sure you add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to your listener.ora file to guarantee the correct libraries will be loaded. Your SID section will then look like:
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=SQLDB)

(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/oracle10g/product/10.2/lib:/app/DataDirect/lib)
(PROGRAM=hsodbc)

Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G(on 64 bit Linux box)

We are unable to connect to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G which is on 64 bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Infrastructure: OBIEE 11.1.1.5 64bit, on 64 bit Red Hat Linux Enterprise Linux 5.6 , MS SQL Server 2008 on 64 bit Microsoft Windows Server
Issue Description: Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE11G RPD
Details: We are unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE which is on a 64 bit Linux box. We created the ODBC connection on Linux box to the SQL server. Whenever we try to import metadata it throws an error that says ‘Connection Failed’.
Here are the steps we followed to setup the ODBC connection on Linux box.
1) We updated the user.sh file with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 values that point to $ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/odbc/lib
This is where we found the driver for SQL server SEmsss23.so.
2) We updated the odbc.ini file with the entry for SQL server with the connection details
SI_SQL_Server_DEV = SQL Server
[SI_SQL_Server_DEV]
Driver=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/odbc/lib/SEmsss23.so
Description=DataDirect 5.1 SQL Server Wire Protocol
Address=10.230.216.52,54970
AlternateServers=
AnsiNPW=Yes
ConnectionRetryCount=0
ConnectionRetryDelay=3
Database=SVBDW_NEW
LoadBalancing=0
LogonID=SIDatavalidation
Password=~~~Password123
QuoteID=No
ReportCodePageConversionErrors=0
3) We updated the IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR with single quotes instead of double quotes in the DB features of the RPD
4) We updated the bash_profile file to point the ODBCINI variable to the path where the OBIEE odbc.ini file is present.
Export ODBCINI=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIApplication/coreapplication/setup/odbc.ini
The error in nqsserver.log file says “[nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: IM002 code: 0 message: [DataDirect][ODBC lib] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.”

Hi,
Make sure SQL Configuration Manager make sure the TCP/IP enabled. please try below method
Method 1
Re Create a new ODBC & Oracle Bi Server DSN Configuration test it and use it in the connection pools.
define your ODBC data source in your server where the BI Server is installed. Check your DB connections in your physical layer and make they are defined on your BI Server as well.
Method 2:
try using the complete TNS in below format in the datasource name section:
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST =DB IP)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) ) and provide the credentials.
Method 3:
To use the OCI call interface you need to have oracle client DB to be installed so that you can establish a connection using that DB credentials and connect to the remote dB and then import the tables.....this is the rule of thumb.
hope helps you.
Thanks

Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux problem

Hello! I've RedHat Linux 6 Update 1 x64 on VMware Player and MS SQL Server on real machine. My application "servernew" on RedHat. All right, but when i try connect my SQL Server:
retcode = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc,NULL,string,sizeof(string),buf,sizeof(buf),&StringLength2,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
i get retocde = -1;
Using SQLGetDiagRec:
MessageText = Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
To make my connection i use next attempts for connection string:
//char constring[200]="Driver={Microsoft Server ODBC Driver 1.0 for Linux};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
//char constring[200]="Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Server=ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2;Database=Kurs;Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";

char constring[200]="DSN={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Uid=sa;Pwd=2ef5Fese";
but...Data source name not found, and no default driver specified .. help me

Ok. New attempts with sqlcmd:

It's bad way, but...
[root@localhost ~]# sqlcmd -D -S ARTPK2\\SQLEXPRESS2 -U sa -P 2ef5Fese -d first
SqlState IM002, Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
It's like in my program!!
retcode = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc,NULL,string,sizeof(string),buf,sizeof (buf),&StringLength2,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
i get retocde = -1;
Using SQLGetDiagRec:
MessageText = Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
Why "SQLDriverConnect" is looking for DNS?!

Oracle 9i on LINUX Transparent Gateway for SQL Server

Does anybody know if there is a Transparent Gateway available for Oracle 9i on LINUX to connect to SQL Server? I have run the installer and cannot seem to find the install options for any Transparent Gateways. I am familiar with their location in the universal installer as I have installed the Oracle/SQL Server Transparent Gateway with Oracle in WinNT. Perhaps Transparent Gateways for Oracle/LINUX are not available?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue - we want to upgrade our 9.2 to 10g Linux, and need to maintain connectivity to some legacy sqlserver databases. I can't find any mention of tg4msql for linux. What gives? Anyone know the answer to this? thanks, michael

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
regards

Connect to MS SQL server from OWB on Linux platform

Hi,
I want to connect to MS SQL server through OWB, on Linux platform.
I suppose I would use JDBC driver, and Heterogeneous services. Is that possible?
I did not see anything on JDBC driver for MS SQL server for Linux platform from Oracle.
Also, I was wondering is Oracle Gateway 10g for Linux a way to connect to MSSQL server?
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ani

Hi,
This quite an actual topic for myself, so I decided to take some time to collect some information.
Start at:
* Oracle Generic Connectivity and Oracle Transparent Gateway - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/gateways/gateways_fov.html
You can use the free Heterogenous Services component named Generic Connectivity for connecting to SqlServer over ODBC. You will need to find (or purchase?) a third-party ODBC driver for SqlServer for Linux, e.g. from www.datadirect.com. Setting this up will allow you to define a databaselink to the SqlServer. Open Gateways implements a limited set of the oracle SQL, so you will have to find out what is possible and what not.
See also:
* How To Setup HSODBC on Linux - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=264567.1
* Generic Connectivity Available on Linux x86 with 10g - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=261726.1
You can also use the Transparent Gateway for SqlServer (HS), which is about EURO 12000 per computer(!). This gives you a full implementation of Oracle SQL and you can access the SqlServer like it was Oracle.
You can also install Microsofts JDBC drivers into Oracle's JVM, and connect through JDBC to SqlServer. This is however not supported by Oracle, but it will work. See:
* What is required for a Java Stored Procedure to connect to a SQL Server Database? - https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=276167.1

Linking to SQL Server from Oracle 10g on 64bit Linux

I have this working, so I thought I would post my steps.
In versions 8 to 10 of Oracle, the software for making these connections was known as Heterogeneous Services. It was 32bit only software and the actual binary file that was executed when querying a non oracle database was $ORACLE_HOME/bin/hsodbc. When a query was made to the linked database, a process was started on the machine with the name of hsodbcXXX (where XXX is the name of the DSN).
In version 11g of Oracle this software is now referred to as Database Gateways and there is a 64bit version as well as a 32bit version. The binary file that is executed in this case is $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dg4odbc.
Fortunately the 64bit Database Gateway software can also be used with Oracle 10g databases as long as it is up to version 10.2.03 and has the odbc compatibility patch installed. (5965763).
To make use of this, we need to install the 11g ODBC Gateway into a separate ORACLE_HOME and start a listener from that environment. We can then make use of that listener from the 10g environment.
So here is what I did to get this working: (Note: DSN = MyDSN)
1.     Download and install 64bit ODBC driver with support for 64-bit ULEN from Easysoft. The file is named odbc-sqlserver-1.1.4-linux-x86-64-ul64.tar. You'll need to email Easysoft support for the URL. Create the DSN entry as part of the install. At the end of the process it can test the DSN. The query should come back with info about the SQL Server. Test the connection using isql from the /opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin directory to verify that it works as well (/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin/isql –v MyDSN). Note, I installed easysoft driver under /opt rather than the /usr/local which is the default. /usr/local/easysoft is a symlink to /opt/easysoft.
2.     Install ODBC gateway via the 11g Gateways installer. You can do a custom install and deselect all but the ODBC Gateway component. (http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle11g/linux.x64_11gR1_gateways.zip)
3.     Create a /home/oracle/11g_environment.sh script that sets 11g ORACLE_HOME, PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables. It should look something like this:
#set ORACLE ENV vars for 11g
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1 # (assuming that is where ODBC Gateway was installed)
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1/bin:/opt/easysoft/bin:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/easysoft/lib:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1/lib
export ORACLE_HOME
export PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
4.     Create $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/initMyDSN.ora, $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora, and $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora under 11g structure. They are as follows:
initMyDSN.ora:
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=MyDSN
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=0
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME=MyDSN.trc
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib/libodbc.so
HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS=FALSE
# ODBC specific environment variables
#set ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini
#set ODBCINSTINI=/etc/odbcinst.ini
#set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/easysoft/lib:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/lib
#set PATH=$PATH:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/bin:/opt/easysoft/bin/
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
listener.ora
MyDSN =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1522))
SID_LIST_MyDSN =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=MyDSN)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1)
(PROGRAM=dg4odbc)
(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/easysoft/lib:/opt/easysoft/unixODBC/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/tg_1/lib)
tnsnames.ora
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
MyDSN =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MyDSN))
(HS=OK)
5.     Add another entry for MyDSN in /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora so tnsping works in 10g environment as well.
MyDSN =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MyDSN))
(HS=OK)
*** Notice that the MyDSN listener runs on a different port (1522) as it is a separate listener.
6.     Login to machine as user oracle and source the 11g environment script. “source ~/11g_environment.sh”. Now start the listener. “cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin”. “./lsnrctl start MyDSN”.
7.     Login to a new shell as user oracle with a 10g environment.
8.     Run sqlplus and create the database link. “CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK SQLSERVER connect to “<someuser>” IDENTIFIED BY “<somepass>” USING ‘MyDSN’;”
9.     test the link. “select * from information_schema.tables@SQLSERVER;”
If it is successfull, you should see a system process named "dg4odbcMyDSN".

So what have you found out for yourself so far (considering the solution to this is easily found on the web)?
Have you looked up Heterogeneous Services?
