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

  • Free download of transparent gateway for SQL Server

    Can anyone give me the URL where I can download the transparent gateway for SQL Server.. I searched OTN but couldn't find it. I just want to try it out..
    Thanks.

    The indicated URL also shows the zip for the 10gR2 gateways for Windows software: 10201_gateways_win32.zip
    To use a gateway you also have to use an Oracle database as a so-called integrating kernel. In this Oracle database you define the database link to the gateway to be able to connect to SQL Server.
    But TG4MSQL 10gR2 has been desupported, which means that bugfixing has been stopped. Also just to make clear, allthough the software can be freely downloaded the product itself requires a license when you decide to use it after testing it.
    And I recommend to try the DG4MSQL 11gR1 software instead, it can also be found at Oracle Technet:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111070_win32_2008soft.html
    When using a 11gR1 database gateway the Oracle database you use with the gateway must be 10.2.0.4.0 or higher. Or have a closer look at Metalink document: 457808.1 - Database Patch 5965763 Required For Pre-11g Databases Using 11g Database Gateways
    Look for: win32_11gR1_gateways.zip

  • Cannot find where to download Gateway for SQL Server

    I have searched OTN every which way to find the Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL Server. I have checked my CD's and I have every one imaginable but not the one for SQL server. Why? Where is it hidden? I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 6.0 and an Oracle 8.1.6.3 Database at the same time.

    Hello,
    All of the downloads are [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/soft11.html]here. According to the [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/11/certification/index.html]certification page, JDev 11.1.1.3 is certified against Windows 2008 server, so I'd start by downloading the Windows version from there (even though they didn't update the description to say "for windows 2008")

  • 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

  • Specifying Partner Failover in odbc.ini for Linux ODBC driver for SQL Server

    Hi,
    We are trying to specify the partner failover when making connections via Linux ODBC driver for SQL Server. Do you know a way to specify partner failover in the DSN entry in odbc.ini? 
    We are using Linux ODBC driver for SQL Server and unixODBC DriverManager.
    Our DSN is:
    [MyDSN]
    Driver=ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server
    Description=MyDSN
    Server=MySERVER,<port>
    I also tried to use the following connection string in Python (via pyodbc) bypassing the DSN and connecting using the server name.
    cnxn = pyodbc.connect("Server=server1,<port>;UID=sa;PWD=<pwd>;Driver=ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server;Failover_Partner=Server2,<port2>;Database=MyDB")
    If the standby DB is on server1 connection fails. It doesn't try server2. If the DB is principal on server1 connection succeeds.
    Thank you,
     Liviu

    Hello,
    Did you use ODBC Driver for SQL Server to connect to database that uses database mirroring?
    According to
    the BOL,it does not list "Failover_Partner" as ODBC Driver for Linux connection string keywords.
    But ODBC driver for Linux supports
    AlwaysOn Availability Groups or Failover Cluster Instance by specify MultiSubnetFailover=True when connecting to a SQL Server 2012 availability group listener or SQL Server 2012 Failover Cluster Instance.
    The following case is about similar issue and it seems that ODBC Driver on Linux does not recognize Failover_Partner in connection string. (Not test myself).You can refer to:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/6a8b5223-066d-4493-84a3-b5374a32e433/native-client-on-linux-does-not-recognize-failoverpartner-in-connection-string?forum=sqldataaccess

  • Problem with "Database Gateway for SQL Server"

    Hello,
    i am testing the different technologies for connecting an oracle database with a sql-server database.

    On PEGASUS i have installed the gateway in a new oracle home directory:

  • Transparent gateway to Sql Server losing the "\" in the SqlServer Connect s

    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="Sql2k5-Stats/SQL2K5-STATS\SQL2K5STATS/AZDPS"
    No matter what we [inc Oracle support] put in here, somewhere it gets removed before it hits Sql Server
    it gets turned into Sql2k5-Stats\SQL2K5-STATSSQL2K5STATS and sqlplus barfs an error about not being able to connect to remote and that is because the "\" has been removed.
    Have tried numerous combinations for HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO
    Any ideas out there ?
    Edited by: IanSparkes on Jun 23, 2009 12:01 PM

    When connecting to SQL Server instances, you can define a SQL Server alias using the MS Client Configuration Tool or you can use two back slashes:
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="SQLSERVER\\instance2.Northwind"
    or using the SERVER and DATABASE naming convention:
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="SERVER=<SERVER NAME>\\<INSTANCE NAME>;DATABASE=<DATABASE>"

  • Oracle Transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server

    Hello,
    I successfully installed the Oracle transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server for Oracle 8i. Now I am doing the same for Oracle 9i.
    Does anyone know how to 'create a new gateway service' on 9i???
    This is how you would do that on 8i on the Windows box...
    1) At the MS-DOS prompt, enter:
    > set GTW_EXE=TG4MSQL.EXE
    2) To create a new gateway service name, enter:
    > GTWSRV73 sid -CREATE | MORE
    -where sid is the gateway sid.
    Does anyone know how to do those steps for 9i Oracle Transparent Gateway?
    Thank you.

    +[nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned an error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down.+
    Can you please help in fixing this issue.I am not sure of the Drivers and the descrition that I am using are correct or not.
    Please let me know the process of creating the DSN for SQL server in LINUX and also how can we check the available drivers in LINUX?
    Thank You in advance,

    OBIEE does all of its data retrieval from the server. Your server needs to be able to query all of the data sources that you define.
    The client is irrelevant here, it's just a web browser consuming data that the BI Server returns to it.
    So yes you need to define connectivity from your Linux server to your SQL Server box.
    The Systems Requirements doc (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf) details DataDirect ODBC drivers that are provided for non-Widows connectivity to SQL Server

  • Outer join query for SQL server from Oracle

    Hi All,
    My question is regarding making queries from Oracle to SQL Server database thorugh DBLink.
    In my oracle database I have a DBLink emp.world for SQL Server database.
    I need to query SQL Server data from oracle (so that this query can be combined with other oracle tables).
    Query is given below:
    SELECT
            a."EmpID" as "Employee ID",
            a."EmpStatus" "Employee Status"
            b."EmpSub" as "Employee Subjects"
    FROM
            [email protected] a
            left outer join [email protected] b on a."EmpID" = b."suEmpID"
    ORDER BY  a."EmpID";My problem is when I run the same query from oracle, it does not show the EmpID that does not exist in Subjects table, but when run from actual SQL Server database, it shows all the records.
    Samples are given below:
    Run from Oracle
    Employee ID      Employee Status     Employee Subjects
    101                     Active                     Maths
    102                     Active                     Maths
    102                     Active                     Physics
    104                   Inactive                  Chemistry
    Run form SQL Server
    Employee ID      Employee Status     Employee Subjects
    101                     Active                     Maths
    102                     Active                     Maths
    102                     Active                     Physics
    103                 Active                       NULL
    104             Inactive            ChemistryI am not sure why in oracle outer join for SQL server tables is not working. What is the right way for outer join in this case.
    I am using oracle database 10gR2 and SQL Server 2005.
    Please Help.
    Thanks.

    SELECT
    a."EmpID" as "Employee ID",
    a."EmpStatus" "Employee Status"
    b."EmpSub" as "Employee Subjects"
    FROM
    [email protected] a
    left outer join [email protected] b on a."EmpID" = b."suEmpID"
    ORDER BY a."EmpID";

    From your description, it appears you may need a right outer join. You want to get back all the rows from 'B', not from 'A'. Try a right join and let us know.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the translation.
    You say you are having a hard time exporting my database Primavera P6 Project Management for SQL Server 2008. Could you give details of exactly what you are using for the export and what problems you are having ?
    Is this an export from an Oracle database or a SQL*Server 2008 database ?
    Regards,
