Oracle 9i dblink to SQL Server

Hi experts,
I need some info on what I need to set up a db link on an Oracle 9i db running on HP-UX to a SQL Server 2008 db running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
For the Oracle Windows component do I need to keep it at Oracle 9 or can I install the latest and greatest?
Thanks.

Oracle 10g dblink to sql server 2005

Hi all,
I'm conecting oracle 10g r2 (windows xp) with sql server 2005 (windows 2003 server)
After configure ODBC connection to SQLSERVER, the DSN is called HUAWEI_DCDB
I configure these three (3) archives:

# needed for an ODBC Agent.

Anyone have idea about the error???
Thanks,

Hi,
You have the wrong values in the tnsnames.ora entry.
You have -
HUAWEI_DCDB =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1523))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=hsagent))
(HS=OK)
but the CONNECT_DATA information is incorrect. it should be -
HUAWEI_DCDB =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1523))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=HUAWEI_DCDB))
(HS=OK)
The sid needs to match the sid defined in the listener.ora for the gateway.
The actual tnsnames.ora entry should have spaces at the beginning of each line except the first, as they are lost in the forum entries.
Once this is fixed you may also have a problem unless you put a user and password in the create database link statement -
create public database link HUAWEI_DCDB connect to "userid" identified by "password" using 'HUAWEI_DCDB';
One other point is that 10.2 HSODBC is now desupported and has been replaced by the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC). You should plan to install and use that instead of HSODBC to be on a fully supported product.

Mike

Difference among Oracle, Sybase, DB/2 & Sql Server

Hi,
Appreciate if anyone can mention some major differences among Oracle, Sybase, DB/2 & SQL Server in terms of any major syntax, performance & cost parameters.
Appreciate if anyone tell me like what are major parameters that are considered when going for a specific database like oracle, sybase, db/2 or sql server?
Thanks a lot in advance.
-Kotha.

Hi Gun77 !
As i knew, ODBC Generic Connectivity Agent is an API which use for connect other RDBMS. Don't care cost because it's free.
In other way, u can use Oracle Generic Connectivity Agent to any DB (SQL server, MySQL,…)
Download the orajdbclink_o2a.zip (oracle-to-any) file:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=205664
u can see detail in this link:
http://duykhanh.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/oracle-dblink-to-any-db-sql-server-mysql%E2%80%A6/
Hope good for you!

Oracle 8i to MS SQL Server replication

Im new to Oracle, but a MS SQL Server DBA. Im helping in the architecture of a data warehouse that pulls from some disparate sources, including Oracle 8i, into a SQL Server 2000 box. We could use batch processing to pull updated data from the Oracle database to populate our data warehouse, but we were hoping to get real-time transactional processing via some replication scenario. My terminology may be wrong from the Oracle perspective, but I think the transactional replication that SQL Server supports is called synchronous replication in Oracle. My question is, does anybody know how to do synchronous replication from an Oracle server to a SQL Server? Or perhaps which Oracle product supports it? Thanks!
null

===========================================================
I'm working on the similar requirements, exactly my source DB is DB2, and the target DB is Oracle. I have two year experience with Oracle, but I know nothing about DB2. There a about 50 tables in source DB. Transactions on source DB is not too heavy(less than 10/Second), and the mainfram are all powerful.
I've though about Oracle Gateway, but I'd rather save it as the backup solution. For one thing, neither co-workers nor I have experience with it. Second, I'm afraid the Gateway performance would not be satisfactory. Furthermore, words has it that we should pay for the Gateway. So My ideas to real-time replication of the two DB is as following:
(1) use trigger in DB2 to reponse to immediate transactions in source DB;
(2) use Embedded C/SQL to extract those transactions into flat files;
(3) FTP files to the target server;
(4) On target server, SHELL scripts read the files and call Pro*C to apply the transactions into Oracle DB.
but, some problems really get me.
A: in step(1) and (2), How to set EC to do its work in reponse to trigger? I know that one can call host script in Oracle trigger, but I have no idea about DB2 trigger. Maybe, I can create a real-time monitoring EC process to address it. what's your opinion?
B: I should maintain all transaction metadata by myself. e.g. INSERT, UPDATE old/new data, DELETE info. It is originally covered by the database, and it isn't easy to handle it squarely.
C: How to address some exception? like database rollback, the process recovery in case of any interruptions in the above steps.
Could you share me some idea, Thank you!

Oracle 10g/11g to Sql Server 2005 Migration

Dear All,
I am a beginner to this migration Activities..
We have designed one Application which is havin Database as Oracle 10g.
and We had another small Application which is having Sql Server 2005 has Database.
Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..
Pls help me how to convert Database in Oracle 10g/11g to Database in sqlserver 2005..

Hello,
this is an Oracle forum and we are handling here migrations from foreign databases to an Oracle database.
For migrations in the other direction, in your case from Oracle to MS SQL Server, you need to read the Microsoft pages, e.g.:
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration.aspx
Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..Normally a migration is not a daily process, so I guess that you just want to transfer data from Oracle to SQL Server on a daily basis. If that is the case, you should consider to use our Gateways. Please start reading here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/gateways/index-100140.html
Using the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) or the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) you can copy your data from your Oracle database to your SQL Server database, using a database link in the Oracle database.
Please let me know whether this answer helped you.

Wolfgang

Oracle 11G Linux ( Oracle Database Gateway for SQL Server 11.1.0.6.0. )

Hi,
I am tring Gateway for SQL Server ..
I want to Select Oracle Database Gateway for SQL Server 11.1.0.6.0 at the time of installation, but It is not coming in the Avaliable Components List..
Is there any prerequisite for SQL server ?
Any Help please ?

Are you following the "Step Through the Oracle Universal Installer" section under

So you can be sure that every doc that you get on MS website will say that SQL server is better, every doc on Oracle website will say that Oracle is better. Every doc on other websites will say that better DB either is:
1) DB that has payed for the reserach paper
2) DB that was mostly used by the researchers
So of course you should be very cautious about each paper you get.

Equivalent datatype in Oracle for datetime of SQL Server

Hello Everyone,
I'm very much new to Oracle. I have been working with SQL Server since 3yrs. Currently I'm working with Oracle 11g.
What is the equivalent datatype in oracle for datetime in sql server with which has the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS?

Oracle date format can be anything you want, either by default at the session level or preferably explicitly using to_char and a format mask.
Format masks are documented here.

Send encrypted data from oracle 11g to Ms SQL Server 12

Hi every body,
we want to send encrypted data from oracle 11g to Ms SQL Server 12:
- data are encrypted to oracle
- data should be sent encrypted to Ms SQL server
- data will be decrypted in Ms SQL server by sensitive users.
How can we do this senario, any one has contact simlare senario?
can we use asymetric encription to do this senario?
Please Help!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
What you want to do about copying data from Oracle to SQL*Server using insert will work with the 12c gateway. There was a problem trying to do this using the 11.2 gateway but it should be fixed with the 12c gateway.
If 'insert' doesn't work then you can use the SQLPLUS 'copy' command, for example -
SQL> COPY FROM SCOTT/TIGER@ORACLEDB -
INSERT SCOTT.EMP@MSQL -
USING SELECT * FROM EMP
There is further information in this note available on My Oracle Support -
Copying Data Between an Oracle Database and Non-Oracle Foreign Data Stores or Databases Using Gateways (Doc ID 171790.1)
However, if the data is encrypted already in the Oracle database then it will be sent in the encrypted format. The gateway cannot decrypt the data before it is sent to SQL*Server.
There is no specific documentation about the gateways and TDE. TDE encrypts the data as it is in the Oracle database but I doubt that SQL*Server will be able to de-encrypt the Oracle data if it is passed in encrypted format and as far as I know it is not designed to be used for non-Oracle databases.
The Gateway encrypts data as it is sent across the network for security but doesn't encrypt the data at source in the same way as TDE does.

Mike

Migrate oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

Hi All,
I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
Platform : Aix
Kindly help me out

Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

Oracle dblink to sql server, accessing multiple database on same sql server under one dblink

Hi, we have successfully managed to set up an Oracle dblink over to sql server and retrieve data.
The sql server user were using via the dblink has access to more than one database on the same sql server
But the question is how in oracle (if at all possible) do you prefix the sql statement to access this ?
Eg:
Sqlserver_prod has user sqlserver_user which appears to be set up as default database on sqlserver_db1
But we have select access to sqlserver_db2
all work fine as sqlserver_user
select * from table_fromdb1
select * from dbo.table_fromdb1
select * from sqlserver_db1.dbo.table_fromdb1
as does
select * from sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
over in Oracle
Oracle_db has dblink sqlserver_prod.world connecting as sqlserver_user
all working fine
select * from "table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
select * from "dbo"."table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
but how (if at all possible) do I access from oracle
sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
without having to create a new sqlserver_db2_user referenced in a new dblink
if oracle to oracle would be
select * from remote_oracle_schema.table@remote_oracle_db

Hi, ok cheers, I see, original gateway was connecting purely at host_name level
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host
Planning to amend this to be
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db1
With exisiting dblink
And to create new gateway
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db2
With new exisitng dblink,will see how we get on
Cheers again

Connection between Oracle 9i and MS Sql Server 2005

Hey Guys,
I am hoping to create materialized view of data on a small sql server box using our oralce 9i cluster. Anyway, i have done this with mysql using the standard odbc dirvers and a dblink, but i am having trouble finding an odbc driver for the connection from oracle to sql server. So, i was wondering if you guys know of a free, or cheap odbc driver, or have a suggestion of an alternative connection method.
PS: i have see: Heterogeneous Services Agents and Transparent gateways floating around, so are these options that don't need the odbc drivers and are free?
Thanks in advance
