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.
Regards,
Ed

Java - SQL Server 2000 Connectivity

hi all. i m looking for help in Java - SQL Server 2000 Connectivity.i worked on Java- Oracle & Java - MS Access format.now i m looking to work on Java - SQL Server 2000. I m using JBuilder 2005. can any1 help me how to make any change(configuration) in my SQL Server.thanx in advance.

http://www.jguru.com/forums/JBuilder is hopeless. ihvn;t get good replies from them.i downloaded the JDBC driver from microsoft and added the JAR files (3 files) and tried the following code:
import java.sql.*;

public class Test {
public Test() throws Exception {
// Get connection
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
//Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<Host>:1433",<"UID>","<PWD>");

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.

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 ...

Don't know if anyone is still having problems with this, but just in case...
I was getting a similar error. I had an Event Viewer record (It wasn't a Warning or an Error, just an Information) reading:You are running a version of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (also called MSDE) that has known security vulnerabilities when used in conjunction with this version of Windows. To reduce your computer's vulnerability to certain virus attacks, the TCP/IP and UDP network ports of Microsoft SQL Server 2000, MSDE, or both have been disabled. To enable these ports, you must install a patch, or the most recent service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or MSDE from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/default.asp

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();-)

Sql server 2000 connect with other than jdbc?

Is there any other way to connect to a Sql Server 2000 database other than with jdbc? My problem actually resides in the fact that I did a small program to test the connection to the database and it works perfectly on my computer but on the server that it's going to stay on, it doesn't.
the program is classic:
try{
     DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
     Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://12.345.67.890\ \INSTANCENAME:1433;databaseName=NAME;selectMethod=cursor;","user","pass");
if (connection != null) {
     System.out.println("Successfully connected");
this small program works ok on my computer(win xp, tomcat 6) but on the other computer(ubuntu, tomcat 5.2) says
Exceptionjava.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]The requested instance is either invalid or not running.
I pinged the ip(12.3...) from the server and it works. So I can't figure out what could cause the error. I tried 20 different connection string and don't work. I'm thinking it might have to do with using MS jdbc drivers on a unix platform? or maybe it's from the server firewall(it's a virtual server), anybody can confirm if they had similar problem? Since I can't figure out the problem, I'm trying to test connection using something else than jdbc but google didn't help much
thanks in advance!

Obviously.

I'm thinking it might have to do with using MS jdbc drivers on a unix platform? Why would that matter if you're using type IV 100% Java JDBC drivers?
or maybe it's from the server firewall(it's a virtual server), anybody can confirm if they had similar problem? If you can ping it successfully, how can it be a firewall issue?
You're doing something else wrong.

Sql server 2000 connection error

Hi everyone ,
I am trying to connect Sql server 2000 using ODI and trying to pass the parameters.
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;SelectMethod=cursor;databaseName=Northwind;integratedSecurity=false
username : sa
password : *******
error :
connection failed
com.sunopsis.sql.c: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
can some one help me to make it worked out especially enabling IPaddress in Sql server 2000. both for the Server and network utility have 1433 as the port for tcp/ip .
Thanks

Firstly, this message normally means that you do not have the JAR files for the driver in your classpath. The classpath is created dynamically at startup of the ODI process, so the jar needs to be in the drivers directory before you start.
Second, even if you are using SQL Server 2000, the recommendation is to use the SQL Server 2005 driver, available from the Microsoft site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937724.aspx). It is much more capable and reliable. Note that you will need to use a different Driver name, and the URL format is also slightly different.
Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
URL: jdbc:sqlserver://[serverName[\instanceName][:portNumber]][;property=value[;property=value]]

MS SQL Server 2000 connectivity problems

Hello everyone,
I'm having problems connecting my application to MS SQL Server 2000. I am making a desktop application that is going to read and update a database I have created in MS SQL Server 2000. The problem is I cannot connect to the database from the application. Here are the details:
I have only created a GUI for one table so far. I have created one other class that is used for connecting to the database.
The GUI class is called Products.java and I have created it in Netbeans. The other class is called ConnectClass.java. In the constructor of the Products.java (GUI class), I instantiate an object of ConnectClass. That object in turn tries to establish a connection to the database. Here is the code of the constructor of the Products.java class (GUI class).
public class Products extends javax.swing.JFrame {
private ConnectClass connect1; // declaring the reference variable for ConnectClass
/** Creates new form Products */
public Products() {
initComponents();
connect1 = new ConnectClass(); // instantiating the ConnectClass
The code of ConnectClass.java is as follows:
import java.sql.*;
public class ConnectClass {
Connection connection;
Statement statement;
public ConnectClass()
try
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=assignment2;User=root;Password=sa");
statement = connection.createStatement();
catch(SQLException sqle)
System.err.println("Error creating connection");
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
System.err.println(cnfe.toString());
When I run the application I expect that the database should be connected at least. However I get the following message in Netbeans output window:
run:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 6 seconds)
I am using Windows XP Home Edition SP3
The JDBC driver I am using is: Microsoft® SQL Server® 2000 Driver for JDBC™ Service Pack 3
The name of the database I have created in MS SQL Server 2000 is: assignment2
I have given the following settings in the CLASSPATH environment variable: .;c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msbase.jar;c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msutil.jar;c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\mssqlserver.jar
I don't know what is wrong. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If you want to know something more please ask me.
Regards

Thanks for the answers. I put the jar file in the jdk/jre/lib/ext folderWhich is exactly what you should not do. That folder is for language extensions, which a Driver is not. Why does everybody find it so hard to take the time to learn the language basics?
and the driver was finally detected but then the program would not connect to the database.Did you configure the server properly. Per default it is not configured to accept network connections.
I tried jtds driver too. I was so frustrated that I installed MySQL instead. Put the jar file in jre/lib/ext folder and then gave the URL and to my relief the database connected. Maybe there are some settings that need to be configured in MS SQL before it can connect. But I could not get it to connect :(The manual would contain that info, btw.
