Oracle FORMS 6i over SQL Server

Hi, I have an Oracle Forms 6i aplication over a Oracle Server 8i database. Is it possible to run it with SQL Server?

Yes you can using OCA/ODBC - see the on line help (I also think there is an oca*.pdf file on the Forms install which
will help).

    thanksOracle Forms is best used against an Oracle database... so why on Earth would you want to use it against SQL Server?
    Aside from that, Oracle Forms is old technology... you'd be better using Oracle Application Express (Apex) for producing web based apps.
    If you must do things against an SQL Server database, you would need to set up heterogenous services connectivity (HS) and treat the SQL Server database as an external database.

  • Call Oracle form from pl/sql

    Dear All
    How can I call Oracle form from pl/sql and open this form to end user
    many thanks

    how can I show this form to specific client ?What client?!? Database PL/SQL is executed within a process on the database server, it's not something which is executed on the client. Could you please elaborate a little bit more?
    By now I have not the faintest clue if you want to
    - call a form from another form ( call_form )
    - call a form within a database process (?!?)
    - call your form from a client you did not tell us (probably APEX?!?)
    For the case you really meant to call a form within Database PL/SQL: Just in case you didn't recognize it, but the database is perfectly capable of PL/SQL and as calling a form within a database process is a one-way street as you cannot interact with it there is no point at all in writing the things you want to do in forms. If you want some PL/SQL code executed on the database then...well...put it in a stored procedure in the database!

  • Export tables form Oracle8 to SQL Server 7.0

    Hello

  • Forms 9i and SQL Server

    Hi Gurus,
    We have been asked by our customer to find out if it is possible to base a 9i form on a SQL Server db instead of an Oracle db as they believe that a SQL Server license will be much cheaper than an Oracle db license. Does anybody know if this is possible and if so how easy is it to achieve ?
    Thanks,
    M.

    use package EXEC_SQL or Oracle TRANSPARENT GATEWAY to do it, but first way will have performance issue, second way will not save you mony, but costs you more.

  • 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!

    ===========================================================
    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!

    It is possible to connect Oracle database to MS Sql server database using the Oracle Transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server.
    You can use the following links to configure such connection:

  • 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.

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

  • Differnce Between Oracle 9i And MS SQL Server 2000

    Hi,
    What are the difference between Oracle 9i And MS SQL Server 2000.

    But you have to remember one big thing - I've not seen yet one compare that was completely indifferent to any of the included DB's. 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?
    I tried with timestamp and date which didnt solve my prob.... Please help me in using the equivalent datatype for the format provided above...

    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.
    Regards,
    Mike
