Oracle database to Sql server connection

Hi,
Can anyone please suggest any documents to create db link from oracle to sql server.
Thanks and Regards

You can use Oracles heterogeneous Services ODBC agent to connect to SQL Server, if your Oracle database is running in windows then very easy to do the ODBC connection
control pannel-->ODBC icon -->System DSN tab and then click the Add button.
After this add the connectivity details in $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/initMYSQLSERVERDSN.ora file
If your Oracle database is running on Linux then you need to install something called FreeTDS driver can be downloaded from http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/freetds-0.60.tgz ; to define ODBC connection and then add the details into $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/initMYSQLSERVERDSN.ora file
Thanks

Migrating OBIEE Repfrom Oracle database to SQL server database in Solaris.

Hi,
I need inputs in how we would migrate our connections in Repository from Oracle database to SQL server database in Sloaris server.
Is there a complication here.
Regards,
Bhavik

Well that makes more sense, you probably have phrased your question better. Microsoft SQL Server Connectivity Components are not supported in any other operating system than Windows. So you will not be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to your SQL Server. ODBC it's an option but there aren't many ODBC drivers for Unix systems. Luckily for you OBIEE includes the DataDirect ODBC drivers and supports using them to connect to a SQL Server. Check [the documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/general_101331.htm#sthref9] on how to use them. Having said that I would say that whoever is pushing to move your DWH to SQL Server should consider also moving OBIEE to a Windows server to be able to use the SQL Server native drivers to connect to SQL Server.

The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

First of all - you are in the wrong forum.
Look either for the Database general or search for Transparant / Heterogenous Gateways.

How to convert Oracle database to Sql server Database

Hi All,
I have one database made in the Oracle 8i, i want to convert that database to Sql Server Database,
Can anyone please give me the step by step process to do this conversion.
Regards
Ramesh Jha

Try using the DTS (data transformation services) services of SQL Server 2000
DTS is based on an OLE DB architecture that allows you to copy and transform data from a variety of data sources. For example: Oracle directly, using native OLE DB providers.
Alternatively, you could follow the following broad steps for data migration (assuming you are retaining the same table structures in SQL Server, and that you are talking about SQL Server 2000).
1. Get the CREATE scripts corresponding to each Oracle table / view / index. These can be reverse engineered from the database using a tool.
2. Map Oracle datatypes to SQL server datatypes e.g: date maps to datetime/smalldatetime, numeric maps to one of int, bigint, smallint, etc depending on the range of values in the CREATE scripts.
3. Indexes in SQL Server are of two types: Clustered / non-clustered. There can only be one clustered index on each table.
4. Converting procedures and triggers will have to be line by line, since SQL Server uses a proprietary T-SQL instead of ORacle's PL/SQL
I have yet to see a really good tool to do this migration, but it is possible to write a PL/SQL procedure / Pro*C program to automate the script creation for creating tables in the SQL Server database.
For the actual data import into SQL Server, export the Oracle data table by table into flat files, and then use the import wizard of SQL Server enterprise manager

Cannot connect to Oracle database from SQL Server

Hi
We have set up a SQL Server linked server and tried to use this SQL Server linked server to connect to Oracle database. We are using SQL Server 2008 and Oracle client 11g 11.02.00.01. However, we got this error message:
Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server 'OurLinkedServer' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[OraOLEDB.Oracle].Ourfieldname'. The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2.
We are able to connect some of the tables ok but some of the tables are not connected and got the above error message.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Tom

Hi
Here is more information. We just found out that the Oracle database team changed the character set to something else and then they changed it back to UTF8.
Currently, it is using UTF8 character set on the Oracle side. Will this causing us this error message on our sql server linked server?
The error message said "The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2."
This refers to a field/column with char(1)
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thank you

Oracle warehouse Builder Sql server connectivity

Hi ...
I want to import tables from sqlserver into my datawarehous
using warehouse builder 3i.
Is it posiible to connect to sqlserver from warehouse builder.
Do we have any gateways available for connecting sqlserver.
I wouid appreciate any help.
Regards
Gopi

Hi,
The gateway that Oracle provides for this purpose is Pure
Integrate.In pure integrate define a project(as we do in
warehouse builder).Then configure your ODBC source(it supports
SQl server, MS Access and variuos other Databases).Once defined
and configured take export of the project and import in
warehouse builder.
In OWB then You can keep on adding various modules and other
object in the imported Projects.The imported project will have
source module as configured in Pure integrate.With this you
don't need to export SQl server objects as flat files.

Cannot connect to Oracle 11gR2 database from SQL Server 2005

Both SQL Server (Windows) and Oracle (Linux) are in 64bit environments.
I have done the following on a Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2005:
Install InstantClient from Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) to C:\Oracle
Install oledb from 64-bit ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) for Windows x64 by executing install.bat oledb c:\oracle odac
Note: Not sure whether 11.2.0.2.1 version of ODAC will cause any problem since I cannot find 11.2.0.1.0 version.
I have checked the Allow inprocess of OraOLEDB.Oracle provider in SSMS.
I have executed sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'ORACLE_TEST', @srvproduct = 'Oracle', @provider = 'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @datasrc = '##.##.##.##:1521/TEST'
The ##.##.##.## is the ip address of the Linux server which has the Oracle 11gR2 database TEST.
I have executed sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'ORACLE_TEST', @useself = 'FALSE', @rmtuser = 'xxxx', @rmtpassword = 'yyyy'
The xxxx is the oracle username and yyyy is the password for the oracle user xxxx.
I know the oracle database TEST is up since I have setup connection in Oracle SQL Developer having:
##.##.##.## as the hostname
1521 as the Port
xxxx as the username
yyyy as the password
TEST as the service name
When I click Test Connection for the linked server ORACLE_TEST in SSMS, it just hang.
When I issue a query like select count(*) from oracle_test..xxxx.table1, it just run forever. I'm not so sure how to query an oracle table. I have also tried select count(*) from oracle_test.xxxx.xxxx.table1.
When I retype the password in the Linked Server Properties, it just run forever.
Do I need to create a tnsnames.ora on the Windows machine?
Do I need to change the tnsnames.ora on Linux machine?
I'm very new to Oracle.

This forum is dealing with connections from an Oracle database to SQL Server - so the Oracle database is the driving site and this is the way round from your linked server set up.
As you're suing the instant client you might post your issue in the instant client forum:

Connect to Oracle database from SQL Sever

Can you help on an issue of connection from SQL Server to Oracle database:
In SQL Server, I create a "linked server" to connect to Oracle database on a different machine. But it will take a unreasonable time (about 30 seconds) to call a Oracle query from SQL Server.

No there are no entries required in the TNSNAMES.ORA
When you are using ODBC for connection, Oracle does not look fo rany enteries in TNSNAMES.ORA file.
Now I am able to connect to both SQL Plus and Forms 6i. But while connecting to SQL Plus its giving an error
Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM
Server not available or version too low for this feature
Connected to:
Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC 6.0.5.35.0
Microsoft SQL Server 08.00.0534
Also while disconnecting the Windows Program Error comes, and the application closes abruptly.

Unable to configure Oracle Publisher in SQL SERVER 2008 R2

Hi, All,
I am trying to talk to my Oracle database from SQL server. I already had Oracle Client 11g installed in my SQL server.
Following the guidance in the technet on configuring the Distributer successfully. I now trying to configure the Publisher, by choosing "Adding Oracle Publisher" option. Then it prompt for the user id & password, I have enter the login (which
is replication user id created in Oracle). I encounter following error msg:

I have search the guideline on this error in Technet and do what I can to troubleshoot but still got error.
Kindly pls help me.
Thank you.

1.Make certain that a current version of the oracle client code is installed at the distributor”, please install corresponding version of Oracle
Client tools on Distributor Box
2.Are you able to connect to your Oracle server from the Distributor Box?if so,Distributor
box needs to have Oracle client tools installed on it before you can setup replication , I hope you have installed the Oracle client tools on Distributor Box. If yes, check if using SQLPlus you can connect manually to Oracle server or not from your Distributor
Box.
Moreover,Please refer the below
Before attempting to configure the Oracle Publisher, SQL Server verifies that SQL*PLUS is accessible through the system path on the Distributor. If SQL*PLUS cannot be loaded, the following error message is shown:
"Unable to run SQL*PLUS. Make certain that a current version of the Oracle client code is installed at the distributor."
Try to locate SQL*PLUS on the Distributor. For an Oracle 10g client install, the name of this executable is sqlplus.exe. It is typically installed in %ORACLE_HOME%/bin. To verify that the path of SQL*PLUS appears in the system path, examine the value of the
system variable Path:
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment variables.
In the Environment Variables dialog box, in the System variables list, select the Path variable,
and then click Edit.
In the Edit System Variable dialog box: if the path to the folder that contains sqlplus.exe is not present in the Variable
value text box, edit the string to include it.
Click OK on each open dialog box to exit and save changes.

What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

Hello MS,
I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
Is it:
- the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
- the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
- not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
- flat file *.csv (delimited format)
Thanks!

Hi lingodingo,
If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/38b2bed2-9d4e-48d4-a33f-1d9eed1c062d/flat-file-to-sql-server?forum=sqldatamining

Oracle .dmp to SQL Server 2005

I am trying to import an Oracle .dmp database into SQL Server 2005, what would you suggest as the fastest and easiest way to do this? DTS/SSIS doesn't have an instant solution and the script I tried to use gave me an error...
Msg 3241, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
The media family on device '<DATABASE>' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I would like a GUI based way to do this if at all possible. Thanks

I don't believe that the earlier responder was saying that SSIS could work with .DMP files. I think he was saying "use SSIS to transfer data from your Oracle database to SQL Server instead of trying to use .DMP files at all."
