Oracle 8i vs SQL Server 2000

Can anyone point me to a good source that can explain the advantages of using Oracle 8i vs SQL Server 2000 for Data Warehousing and business intelligence as well as for running a ebusiness ?
We have a client who is interested in SQL sever and we are an Oracle shop.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have the same question. But I am searching on the net for a council or vendor who gives the services for comparing different products. It is available for CRM, but i am not sure about databases.
Another I think If we can ask the client about why he has chosed sql server then we will be clear.
I see the only advantage of sql server 2000 is to have the olap, dts in built with the sql server product.
Any let me also know please. Thanks.

How to load oracle data into SQL SERVER 2000?

how to load oracle data into SQL SERVER 2000.
IS THERE ANY UTILITY AVAILABLE?

Not a concern for an Oracle forum.
Als no need for SHOUTING.
Conventional solutions are
- dump the data to a csv file and load it in Mickeysoft SQL server
- use Oracle Heterogeneous services
- use Mickeysoft DTS
Whatever you prefer.

Data Import from Oracle Dump to SQL Server(2000/2005)

Hi Friends,
I'm using Oracle 10g.
I've a scenario.
I've Oracle Dump file. Now i would like import in SQL Server(2000/2005).
Can any one suggest me how to do this?
Any idea,clue will be highly appreciated.

I think you will need to import the data into SQL Server from an ASCII flat file using SQL Server DTS if avialable. You can use SQL Plus to extract the data outof Oracle into comma delimited flat files and then use SQL Server DTS load into the SQL Server database.

Transfering information between Oracle 8 and SQL Server 2000

I want to transfer some of the data stored in 4 different tables in my Oracle database and easy as possible to my SQL Server 2000 database. I found the import option in SQL2k which uses ODBCconnection to the Oracle but it needs the migration suit as far as I know. At the downloadarea there are only plug-ins for SQL Server 7 but not 2000.
Am I even on the right track or is there any other way of accomplishing this?

is there any known problem if I install Oracle 10g EE
on the same machine where Sql Server 2000 EE is
install?It's presently undocumented, but some of the ORACLE.EXE process threads are known to get stuck in an infinite loop whenever a SQL Server database is running on the same box. The infinite loops cause the SQL Server database to eventually shutdown, and then the loops are broken and Oracle returns to normal. Stack traces have revealed something like this, which would suggest that the Oracle process is actually communicating with SQL Server:
Oracle: laughAtGirlieDatabase() /* infinite loop */
SQL: exit();-)

Oracle 9i to SQL Server 2000 Connectivity

I want to connect to SQL Server 2000 from an Oracle 9i on Solaris.
Both these machines are within the same TCP/IP network and can be pinged.
Please tell me what I need to do.
Thanks.

Hi,
You have 2 major options:
1. Use Generic Connectivity with your Oracle 9i database running on Solaris. However it requires a proper ODBC-Driver to be installed on Solaris capable of connecting to Microsoft SQL Server
MetaLink DocID: 245549.1 - How to setup Generic Connectivity - HSODBC - on SUN Solaris
Remark: Oracle 9i has been de-supported, should you run into new bugs they wouldn't be fixed by Oracle
2. Install and use the Database Gateway for ODBC 11g on the same machine which hosts the SQL Server database. Usage of this gateway is included in the Oracle database license. DG4ODBC also requires an ODBC-Driver but this one is mostly already present.
Another option would be to install the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) 11g on the same machine which hosts the SQL Server database. However this gateway requires an additional license. The big advantage of this gateway over DG4ODBC is that it supports the two phase commit protocol (distributed updates) and calling of SQL Server stored procedures. Also the dataype mapping is better compared to DG4ODBC.
One thing though; in order for you Oracle 9i database to cooperate with one of the 11g gateways a patch for bug 5965763 on top of 9.2.0.8.0 is required. See also MetaLink DocID: 457808.1 for more details.
I hope this get you going.

Urgent:db link from oracle 10g to sql server 2000

Hi
I have a db link 10g from oracle to sql server 2000. This was created a couple of years ago. This is working.
I have now created another db link from same oracle server to the same sql server but it is not working.
But I am getting ORA-28500 and IM002 error
.Please advise.
I am unable to understand what is wrong because I have followed the hs odbc set up on this db link in the same way as I had done 2 yrs ago.
Thanks
Shailaja

Just sorted the problem.
Basically I am using HSODBC to communicate from Oracle (on windows 2003 64 bit) to SQL Server.
To do this, I need to create a ODBC connection from Oracle to SQL Server.
HSODBC is a 32 bit application and hence we have to use the ODBC 32 bit driver when we create the ODBC connection.
When I created the ODBC connection from Oracle to SQL Server, I was using the ODBC 64 bit driver and hence the system was unable to find the data source name.
I have now created ODBC connection from Oracle to SQL Server using the ODBC 32 bit driver and everything works fine now.
No offence to anyone but as you all work using Oracle software , I was hoping a better response than some of the above responses. You can just say that you didnt understand the question or you dont know the reason why that happened.
I just listed how the problem was sorted so that any one in future having the same problem can benefit.

Oracle 6i and SQL Server 2000

We are trying to get Oracle 6i to work via ODBC with SQL Server 2000. We get it to login, but can't get it to do anything else.
Any ideas? (I can be reached at [email protected])

dev2000 , 6 and 6i can run with other database i.e db2 , MS Sql by using odbc to connect with database .
1. create odbc for yuoer database .
2. your oracle must install OCA (Oracle client Adapter ) that come with CD install form
3. test connect with sqlplus like this
user_name/pwd@odbc:odbc
4. use this connect in your form
5. finished.
sometime i have problem with 6i . i cannot connect so i have to copy file UB80*.dll from CD install 6 and replace in 6i
then i can connect database ... please try ...

Replication of table from Oracle 10g to sql server 2000

Could i replicate table from Oracle 10g to sql server online. we have tables with same configuration and if any change happen in oracle 10g or sql server in that table we need to replicate that change to other database.
What is the solution for this two way replication between sql server and Oracle 10g

But the tutorial is saying that i will have to install Oracle database on the server already having sql server, is it client or whole database, if it is then it will acquire lot of resource.
I want to find out that for Heterogenous Service ODBC, we need third party software for ODBC Driver of SQL SERVER for Linux and secondly if we use Transparent Gateway then what are the steps for its configuration.
I could not find steps of configuration of Transoparent gateway, when i am trying to install Transparent gateway from Universal installer, it is not there. where do i find it , Do i need to purchase it too.

Migration to Oracle 9i from SQL Server 2000

can anyone tell me how they transfered the DTS packages from SQL Server to another package like Warehouse Builder.

The best way I have found is to use the Oracle Migration Workbench. You can download it from OTN.

Creating Oracle Model of SQL Server 2000 Model

Hi,
I have encountered couple of T-SQL where such case statements are resides stated below. I have found out that when I erased the distinct, it was parsed correctly by the OMWB. What may be the cause of this. Any comments?
CASE [MONTH](dbo.recetat.dtEkzekutimit) WHEN dbo.muajt.[id] THEN (count (distinct (CASE (dbo.Recetat.KodPacienti) WHEN '0' THEN convert(nvarchar(50),0) ELSE dbo.Recetat.KodPacienti END)) ) ELSE 0 END AS NrPacient

Hi,
Im afraid this is a bug with our current parser.
I have logged a bug against it (bug 5498754)
We are currently redeveloping our migration tools see here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/migrationtoolsstatementofdirection.htm
Thanks for working out that it was the DISTINCT function which caused the problem.
Im afraid your workarond of removing the DISTINCT from the T_SQL, Parsing to PL/SQL and then manually adding back in your DISTINCT is the only workaround available.

Dermot.

Tg4msql - Blob Data Type Support(Oracle 8i - sql server 2000)

hi,
We are trying to replicate the data from oracle 8i to sql server 2000 through tg4msql.if we want to replicate the data thet contains the blob field , we are getting invalid expression in the procedure marked with error line.
the procedure i am using is as follows
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE INSERT_SQL
AS
BEGIN
FOR VAL_CURSOR IN
--Get the Data from the table with status 0
SELECT rs_report_rowid FROM BIJU.rs_report where rs_report_status = 0
LOOP
for new_cursor in
--get the details of the record with the row id
select id ,name,DOB from biju.sample where rowid = val_cursor.rs_report_rowid
LOOP
---insert the data from oracle to sql where the oracle data type contains blob(here photo field data type is blob).
Error Line: insert into [email protected](id,name,photo) values(new_cursor.id,new_cursor.NAME,new_cursor.DOB);
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
i want to know that tg4msql won't support the blob data type on the oracle end?we configured blob eqivalent in sql server as binary.Any help or suggestion regarding this are welcome..
regards
Srini

Srini,
Support for LOB was added in v9.2. It is not supported in 8i.

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.

Comparing Oracle and MS SQL Server 2005

Hi!
I'm looking for documents which compare
features, price etc og the database and database related development-projects
I'm looking for resources that describe the terminology used of MS and Oracle for their db's.
I'm also looking for "Feuerstein"-best-practices in MS-world.
And at last I'm looking for simple and complex scenarios comparing performance/features of these db's.
And if possible, I want them from some "independent" sources...
Can anyone help?
Best regards
Bjorn Dorr Jensen

Hi Hans!
I think it would not be fair comparing Oracle 10g with SQL Server 2000.
So thats why I'm looking for comparison with SQL Server 2005,
but if you have something that compare Oracle 11 with SQL Server 2005,
let me hear about it :-)
The objective:
well, the last 2 years I worked with Oracle DB (tuning, pl/sql) in an serious manner.
and now I have to work with SQL Server (which I didn't work with the last 2 years),
so I'm interested in the differences.
For now it seems that many SQL Server features are primitive compared with Oracle, but Microsofts usability is much better.
O1.) But is it really more primitive or are I'm missing the nessessary experience with SQL Server? Thats some of the points I want to find out.
O2.) Analyzing our own requirements for features: when would it be better to use Oracle and when to use MS? How to make this measure-able?
Could one make an descision tree like:
when more than x users/day and clustering needed and db_size>y....
O3.) Should I promote in an environment with people only using MS-products,
promote the use of Oracle-DB? When will this be an good idea?
(I don't think it will be an good idea the other way around: moving from Oracle to MS SQL Server - or would it ;^)
Best Regards
Bjorn
