Oracle equivalent for MS Sql Server WITH(NOLOCK)

Hi all :-)
What is the equivalent of MS Sql Server WITH(NOLOCK)
hint in Oracle ... or ... how can I achieve the same
effect in Oracle SELECT queries ?

= dirty read .
to the op : read the concepts guide before going further; Oracle implements a different concurrency model than SQL Server

Oracle Gateway for MS SQL Server

I have a oracle 10g database installed on Linux platform. I have installed oracle 11g gateways in the same system in a different location other than that of ORACLE_HOME.
I have configured the initdg4msql.ora and configured the listener in the ORACLE_HOMEs listener.ora
When I try to query the SQL Server table with the db link then I am getting the following error
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select * from dbo.jobs@testlink
Error at Command Line:1 Column:23
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Oracle][ODBC SQL Server Driver][libssclient22]ConnectionOpen.[Oracle][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid connection string attribute
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from TESTLINK
the following is my initdg4msql.ora configuration:
# This is a customized agent init file that contains the HS parameters
# that are needed for the Database Gateway for Microsoft SQL Server
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserv:1433//pubs
# alternate connect format is hostname/serverinstance/databasename
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=DEBUG
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
can anyone tell me where am I going wrong?

the patch is not applied to 10g db. Here is the last few lines of the dg4msql trace file

Oracle gateway for MS sql server 2005

Is Oracle 9i Gateway for MS SQL Server compatible with SQL 2005? If not what are the other options?

Check the support matrix at metalink.
But be advised that Oracle 9i is in desupport mode.

Oracle Book for experienced SQL Server developer

Hi everyone
I'm looking for suggestions for a book to start with Oracle database development. Though, I'm not looking for a beginner book that starts with explaining what tables, views and procedures are.
I'm doing database development on MS SQL Server since 12 years. I also know things like relational algebra, no-cursors and other general database guidelines.
What do you think about one of those books?
Oracle Essentials: Oracle Database 11g: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Essentials-Database-11g/dp/0596514549/
Oracle PL/SQL Programming: Covers Versions Through Oracle Database 11g Release 2: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-PL-SQL-Programming-Versions/dp/0596514468/
Any suggestions would be great. :-)
Thanks in advance
Flo
BTW: I'm not looking for free web resources, I'm looking for a paperback.

Hi and welcome to the forums.
What do you think about one of those books?
Oracle Essentials: Oracle Database 11g: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Essentials-Database-11g/dp/0596514549/
Just download the Concepts manual. I was disappointed with my purchase.
Oracle PL/SQL Programming: Covers Versions Through Oracle Database 11g Release 2: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-PL-SQL-Programming-Versions/dp/0596514468/
The "bible" of PL/SQL is by Steve Fueurstein. Get it.
Any suggestions would be great. :-)Toim Kyte's books will explain the "philosophy" of Oracle- youi can comapre it to
your SQL Server knowledge. Start with these and the Concepts manual.
These forums are a great resource if you're not sure of something.
Read the FAQ.
HTH and good luck :)

Looking for the oracle equivalent of T-SQL 'SELECT TOP n'

Hi,
I'm looking for the Oracle equivalent of T-SQL 'SELECT TOP n'
and can't find any. There is SAMPLE(n) function but it supposed
to pick up random values and I'm not sure if it's possible to
make it select top values. Please help 8-)
Thanx

Hi Marina.
Oracle does not have a functionality like SQL Server for TOP
selection. The ROWNUM option should be used with great care and
you may get unreliable results.
Try looking at Metalink
Doc ID: 291065.999
Doc ID: 267329.999

How to migrate an existing Microsoft SSIS deployment if it is decided to replace SQL Server with an Oracle database?

Hi Oracle Gurus!
Currently, I am designing an ETL solution that transforms and loads a lot of data from flat files and sends it to an SQL Server 2008 R2 database for storage. However, at a future point of time, it may be decided to add or even replace SQL Server with an Oracle 11g database.
Currently, I am writing script transforms in C# to dynamically generate SSIS packages to tansform and load the data into SQL Server. But considering that in future, an Oracle 11g or 12c database might be added to, or replace the SQL Server database, how do I make my script transforms (or whatever else I am developing currently for SQL Server) reusable to the extent possible?
Or more precisely, what steps do I take, from an Oracle point of view, to ensure that any future migration of data to an Oracle database would be smooth to the extent possible?
Looking up to my Oracle Gurus for enlightenment in this matter!
Novice Kid

When you're writing your on C# code to load data into the SQL Server you have to modify the routines so that they will work with Oracle.
One approach is to use the extproc agent which would allow you to directly call external programs with all the logic in it to perform the load of your files and to put the data into the Oracle database. Another option would be to use utl_file package (or equivalents) which will allow you to open external files from your Oracle database and to directly read its content and then to pass it to the related tables.

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.

Trigger problem on Sql Server with linked server to Oracle

Hi All,
I have a simple insert trigger on Sql Server 2005, it uses linked server to Oracle.
like that ;
USE [YTM08]
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ANSI_NULLS ON
go
ANSI_WARNINGS ON
CEATE TRIGGER [dbo].[YTM_TBLSTSABIT_I]
ON [dbo].[TBLSTSABIT] FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO YTM_ORACLE..SECTOR.STOCKS
stock_name,
stock_code,
insert_date
SELECT
SBT.STOCKNAME,
SBT.STOCKCODE,
GETDATE()
FROM INSERTED SBT
END
The YTM_ORACLE is a linked server and it's provider is OraOLEDB.Oracle.
Trigger does not works for that linked server but other triggers for local
sql server works fine...
I get this error from sql server
'Heterogeneous queries require the ANSI_NULLS and
ANSI_WARNINGS options to be set for the connection. This ensures consistent query semantics. Enable these options and then reissue your query.'
Does someone know how to solve this issue the right way?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks !
Adam

Hi Lars,
Thanks for the data. I've already read this note and configure all this parameters. But when I'm executing the Create Source System in the BI system the process dies.
If I look into the logs I see this:
M call semaphore clean-up function ...
M ***LOG Q0E=> DpSigGenHandler, Exception (c06d007e) [dpnttool.c 432]
That's the reason why I start guessing about other possible problem.

Oracle equivalent for OBJECTPROPERTY

Hi Friends,
I want the oracle equivalent for the following sql code,
Select @Command = 'IF OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id('''+ @TableName + '''), ''TableHasForeignRef'') = 1
                          DELETE FROM ' + @TableName + '
                      ELSE
                          TRUNCATE TABLE ' + @TableName
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable @CommandI have tried to find out, but no use. Please help me.
Thanks,
Ram.

Ram wrote:
I have tested a table which has foreign key. But the count returned from the query is 0.
Have I implemented your query in the right way?Same like in SQL Server, Oracle does not allow truncating table if it has a PK or UK which is referenced by FK. There are no issues truncating table with FK. Again, it is table with PK/UK where you might not be able to truncate if that PK/UK is referenced by FK. And SQL Server property TableHasForeignRef = TRUE means there is a FK (on a different table or maybe even on same table if it is self-referencing FK) which is referencing PK/UK on a table in question. Query I suggested returns 1 if table has a PK or UK which is referenced by FK. Otherwise it returns 0. So if, in your case, table MY_TABLE owned by user DBO_XYZ has just FK, 0 is correct and you can truncate it. If it would return 1, you would not be able to truncate and would have to delete.

Hi,
I believe NVARCHAR is an unsupported type...
The following document lists the supported data types for SQL Server stored procedures and functions... NVARCHAR is not in the list... :-(

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!

Need help trouble shooting Database Gateway for MS SQL Server setup, getting ORA-28546 error

Dear All,
I am trying to setup Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL Server(I don't have admin access to the MS SQL Server). When I try to test the dblink connection, I get the following error.

Obviously, I would like to get this setup to work, but I also have couple other questions regarding this setup.
1. When installing the gateway, it asks to run the root.sh script. the root.sh script as for the following.
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: n
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: n
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: n
is the above answer correct?
Thanks for reading.

Dear Klaus,
I did start a new SQL*PLUS session

Full Database Backup in DB13 for MS SQL Server databases

Hello,
We have some SAP systems using the MS SQL Server database. I want to know if it is possible to setup the Full Database Backup option in transaction DB13 to store the files in a hard disk space.
I already did this type of configuration in SAP systems in Oracle databases and for this I used the init<SID>.sap where we can put all the configuration, for instance the disk path where we want to save the backup files! But for MS SQL Server databases, in DB13, I don´t know how to do that, when I add the "Full Database Backup" option in DB13, this show me some options but only for tape, but I don´t want to store the backup files in tapes, I want to store/save the files on the server disk itself or else to an external disk but I don´t see where I can set this way of storage!
This is what you see in DB13 (when using a MS SQL Server database) in "Full Database Backup" and as you see I only have options for TAPE not for a disk or other type of storage! How can I do that? (if that is possible):
Can you help me please?
Kind regards,
samid raif

Hello Raja
Sorry for the delay of my answer! Many thanks for that tip, it helps a lot and it solve the last error/problem that I reported here, in fact, the problem was we had named the device with two words containing a space. So we removed that space from the backup device (in SQL management studio) with one word only and the job runs successfully without any errors!
It works in Development and Quality systems but in our Production system (AM1) the Full backup option in DB13 stopped with the following error, in fact the error is on verification of backup, it means that the Full backup finished with success, but when it does the backup verification, the job in DB13 stops with an error, the following one:
