Oracle to sybase

Is there a way if I can create a database link in oracle that points to a sybase database ? The reason is that I am looking at possible ways to update/insert/delete rows from sybase tables while I am doing the same in the oracle database. The DML will be done by the application on an Oracle(9i) database and the same needs to happen simultaneosly in the sybase database(in the backend). Any pointers on this is appreciated

Using Generic Connectivity and ODBC for Sybase, then you can.
Using Transparent Gateway for Sybase, then also you can.

Importing table dump from oracle into sybase

I was wondering if anyone has ever imported a table dump from oracle into sybase. I just tried it and it didn't work. I used TOAD to create my table dump file but when i imprted it into sybase using bcp in i got the following error
cs_convert: cslib user api layer: common library error: The result is truncated because the conversion/operation resulted in overflow.
CSLIB Message: - L0/O0/S0/N36/1/0:

If you are looking for a basic/standard way to exchange data between Oracle and Sybase, use the CSV format.
It is trivial to write a generic SQL*Plus script for Oracle to extract data from a table (or a SELECT) and spool this into a properly formatted CSV file.
It is also just as easy to use Sybase Bulk Copy utility to load that CSV file into Sybase.
There are also alternative methods. One would be to use Oracle's Heterogeneous Services. You can define a database link in Oracle that connects, via ODBC, to Sybase. And using this database link you can push (insert) data into Sybase.

Can Oracle and Sybase Coexist on Sun Box ??

Hello Everybody,
I an trying to find out if Oracle and Sybase can coexist on same Sun Solaris box ??.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Definitely. Just be sure to set the kernel paramaters that are needed for each database. (ulimit for Sybase, ISM for Oracle (semaphores and shared memory)). Also be sure that your system has enough memory for the Oracle SGI and the Sybase caches, and that there is still enough for the OS to operate (which is dependent on platform, CPU count, and OS version).
Good Luck,

Replicate the data from oracle to sybase

Hi, I have to replicate the data of some of the tables from Oracle 10g to Sybase.
Here the data from the table is live data (OLTP).
Is there any process like materalized view so that data is refreshed from Oracle to Sybase periodically.
Please let me know the Process for the same.

Hello,
as a starter you may want to read the following Metalink note:
Note 283700.1: How to replicate Data between Oracle and a Foreign Datasource
Please let me know whether this is helpful.

Trying to Connect from Oracle to Sybase

Hi
Iam trying to connect from Oracle to Sybase only to retrieve data which is why--Generic COnnectivity. Everything was fine like creating default entries with hsodbc(instead of default tg4sybs) in listner.ora, tnsnames.ora like discussed in this forum. But, the final problem which Iam encountering is:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link HSODBC.US.ORACLE.COM connects to HO.WORLD
Can anyone explain about this problem and solution?? Please help....It is URGENT!
Thanks
Gopikrishna.

This happens with global naming set to true for the database.
How to check if global_names is true or false:
openSQL*plus connection to the database and type
SHOW PARAMETER GLOBAL_NAMES
What to do:
1. you can alter your SQL*Plus session each time you
connect:
ALTER SESSION SET GLOBAL_NAMES=FALSE;
2. you can set global_names to false within the init.ora
of the database
3. you can change the default GLOBAL_NAME HO.WORLD of the
HSODBC system while changing the values in the init.ora
of the hsodbc:
HS_DB_NAME=HSODBC
HS_DB_DOMAIN=us.oracle.com

Error when "Copy to Oracle" in Sybase ASE 12.5.3

Could you please post a table and some demo data that is failing in your environment - or at least you can also test the table given in the post you are referring to:
CREATE TABLE sybdb.dbo.fetch (
     f_id           numeric identity(18)      NOT NULL,
     s_id           numeric(18)           NOT NULL,
     added_date      datetime           NOT NULL,
     added_by      varchar(30)           NOT NULL
INSERT INTO sybdb.dbo.fetch(f_id, s_id, added_date, added_by) VALUES (1080, 2944, '2011-08-05 03:36:10.64', 'User A');
INSERT INTO sybdb.dbo.fetch(f_id, s_id, added_date, added_by) VALUES (1081, 2944, '2011-08-05 03:36:35.486', 'User B');

Does this work for you or fails also?

Connectivity issues from Oracle to Sybase

Friends.
I have connectivity issue from Oracle 9.2.0.1 to Sybase 12.5 ASE .I am connecting through the database link in oracle to access the tables.
The error message i am getting :
select count(*) from TEST_TABLE@IND_TEST;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
523 80
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from IND_TEST
Please guide me how to solve this error message. is it version incompatible now?
Thanks
Rocky

Hi,
You are now making the connection to the Sybase database but there is a problem with the user and password used in the database link.
Sybase is case sensitive for names so you need to surround the user/password in double quotes to make sure they are passed to Sybase in the correct case -
create database link ind_test connect to "sybuser" identified by "sybpass" using 'tnsnames_ora_entry' ;
where sybuser is the userid as created in Sybase with the password sybpass.
If they were setup in Sybase in mixed case then it would be -
create database link ind_test connect to "Sybuser" identified by "Sybpass" using 'tnsnames_ora_entry' ;
Regards,
Mike

Oracle to Sybase from UNIX

Can ve connect to Sybase from Oracle, where the Oracle runs on Unix by using Generic Connectivity?
Thanks.

Depends on which Unix platform your Oracle db is running.
HSODBC needs to be installed on the same machine/directory where the Oracle DB is installed.
For Oracle 9i hsodbc is available on Sun, AIX and HP; starting with 10g also on Linux.
In addition you need a 3rd party ODBC driver to work with hsodbc; in your case an ODBC driver to Sybase.

Oracle 8 & Sybase PBuilder 6

Dear Oracle experts! Help please me. I have old soft developed in Sybase PB 6. It run well only at computers where Oracle 8i Server is installed. At PC with Oracle DBA clients, Oracle Server 8.0 and so on this old soft can't pass sql parameters to Oracle (queries without parameters run OK). What dll or anything other must I add to Oracle Client to make work old programs?

Please repost your question in the database forum

Migration of data from Oracle to Sybase ASIQ

Hello !
I want to know , if there is any way to migrate the database from oracle 8i to sybase ASIQ ( Adaptive Server IQ 12.4). The database has 14 tables in which some tables have more than 3 lakh records. I have tried to convert the tables into tab delimited text files ( by using ADO Explorer software) and then load data in ASIQ ( Adaptive Server IQ 12.4) from these flat files. The process is working fine with tables which have less data. But for large tables ( with 3 lakh records) the ADO explorer hangs in between conversion. Is there any tool in Oracle which can migrate data from tables to tab delimited text files ?
or is there any tool which can directly migrate data from oracle 8i to Sybase ASIQ directly ?

Can you use Sybase Component Integration Services (CIS). Can you create the Oracle database as a remote database and then do selects against the Oracle tables directly into the Sybase tables. I am not sure if this is available in IQ server. If not then if you have a regular Sybase server could you do it through there somehow and then move the database from Sybase to IQ.

On Sun fire v490 - Solaris 10 with Oracle 8.1.7.4 & Sybase 12.0

Hi,
We are going to upgrade our server with this configuration -
Sun Fire V490     2 x 1.05 GHz UltraSPARC IV CPU
8096MB RAM     2 x73GB local disk
2x FC 2GB Sun/QLogic HBAs
DAT72
On one machine we will have Sun Solaris v10 with
Oracle DB v8.1.7.4 & Second one will be Sun Solaris v10 with Sybase DB v12.0.0.6.
Now our question is - Sun fire have Hyper-thread CPUs �� will the O/S and databases (Oracle and Sybase) view the proposed system as a true 4 CPU platform? Will parameters used to tune the database such as Sybase max online engines still operate in the same manner as before?
Our old machine configuration was - Sun E450     4x400MHz CPU     1024MB RAM     2 x18; 8x36GB disks

Questions on Oracle and Sybase should be directed to a database forum, this forum is for Sun hardware support.
Here is a link to a DB forum I look at from time to time:
http://www.dbforums.com/index.php
The topic of tuning Oracle or Solaris is way beyond the scope of this forum, I have attempted to go into it before but didn't get any feedback and I would only like to spend lots of time on it if I was being paid!!! On the memory side, keep in mind that Oracle 9i 64-bit can address a maximum of 2 ^ 64 ( 16777216 TB ) memory, prior to that the DBA had to define memory parameters in init.ora. To be honest the last time I worked with a Oracle 8 database I shut a HP K class server down permanently that had been migrated to Oracle 9i on Solaris by an Oracle consultant and I can't remember all the tuning trick etc.

Sybase oracle heterogeneous connection

Hi all,
I created a connection from oracle to sybase using oracle heterogeneous connection. However I have a problem with numeric characters, I cannot get floating parts of numbers.
when I use create as syntax it maps to correct data types(with the correct precision and scale) but 12,49 comes like 12,00.
My Database is 10.2.0.3.0 32bit windows
Any help would be appreciated..

The problem was because of language settings. Setting NLS_LANG in the registery to correct setting solved the problem..

DATA EXTRACTION FROM ORACLE & SYBASE

Hello members...
Good day. This is my first posting in this site. I am new to Oracle and have a question regarding Data extraction from Oracle and Sybase.
My project has two applications one having Oracle as the database and the other has Sybase as the database. On the proposed production schedule, there would be a interface data update from the Oracle database to the Sybase database.
My aim is to check if the data update is in sync after the update. We plan to extract the data from the two databases (Oracle and Sybase) and compare in a Third Party tool. We have the tool to compare. Can any of you suggest a nice data extraction tool. I have to set this data extraction as a batch in the nightly batch schedule.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Krishna Kumar...

Sybase provides the best data extraction utility called BCP. You can load and extract data. It is very user friendly. From your unix prompt if you type in BCP ? you will all the switches and
help messages you need to use. It is so simple.
Oracle dosn't have such a utility to extract data from table.
You need to write a Stored procedure and use UTF_FILE package to
extract data from table and write into a file.
