Querying Oracle DB from DB2

Is anyone using Heterogenous Services to query Oracle from DB2?
We have been using the dblink to our mainframe z/OS DB2 databases successful for quite some time and can insert into DB2 as well, but have many mainframe programs that would be simplified by pulling from Oracle directly.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

No, I'm using Heterogenous Services to query DB2 from Oracle..

The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01b].

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

Migration from DB2 to Oracle issue

Hi
I'm migrating an old legacy system from DB2 to Oracle but have the following trouble:
The queries that the app executes have some DB2-specific syntax such as DATE function, example:
select * from TABLE where date_col > DATE('2010/01/01');
The above query works on DB2 but not in Oracle (should be changed to use TO_DATE function but this is not possible initially)
I could create a function in the Oracle db called DATE, something like:
create function date (p_date varchar2) return date is
begin
return to_date(p_date)
end date;
create public synonym date for sys.date;
But DATE is a reserved word and I can't use it as function name
Do you know any way of making the above query work against an Oracle db or transforming the query text before being parsed?
Thanks a lot in advance
--Guillermo

As you stated and mentioned in the manual:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10830/appb.htm
DATE is a reserved word and thus you need to recode the statement. For example the migration utility is commonly adding an underscore to the function - and this requires again a recoding of the source statements.

Error While Querying DB Link from Oracle 10g to Postgres 8.2

Hi,
I have installed unixodbc 2.3.1, postgres odbc driver (psqlodbc-07.03) and dg4odbc 11.2
On querying : select sysdate from dual@dblink_postgresql, the following error occurs:

In lib folder two files were created viz. psqlodbc.la and libpsqlodbc.a
And everybody on the net seems to refer psqlodbc.so in the "Driver = " parameter

Oracle 11g- Straing behaviour of query after importing from Oracle 10g

Hi,
I have a table in Oracle 10g as follows:
Create Table xyz (col1 varchar2(50), col2 varchar2(50));
With following Data
Col1     Col2
A     320
A     110
A     290
A     380
B     ABC
B     256
B     LMN
I am running following Query
select * from xyz
Where Col1='A' and Col2=110
It works fine. But when I export this table and import it in Oracle 11g. It says invlid identifier.
But if I enclose 110 in single quotes. It works fine.
Also If I recreate this table in Oracle 11g like
Create table xyz1
as select * from xyz;
Now alos I am able to run this query smoothly.
select * from xyz1
Where Col1='A' and Col2=110
What is wrong exporting this table from 10g to 11g.
Any comments/suggestion??
Aarbi

The check in your where clause
Col2=110Is comparing a string (Col2 is defined as a VARCHAR) with a numeric literal, so there will be an implicit conversion taking place from character to number. The query then fails due to the B LMN row when 'LMN' fails number conversion.
I'm guessing there was there an index on the table in your 10g installation which would allow the query to be satisfied without checking the B ABC or B LMN rows but is not present or not used in the 11g installation so a full table scan results in an attempt to convert 'ABC' and 'LMN' to a number. Check the explain plans.
Or it could even just be a difference in the order in which the two conditions in the where clause are evaulated between the two versions.
The solution, as you have already found is to do a string comparision

Migration from DB2 database to Oracle 10g

Hi All,
We are working on migration of database from DB2 to Oracle 10g all from scrap. Could you please suggest the steps need to follow up with this and also suggest if any migration tools are available for this task. I am already in a mess of doing it manually. Please help me at the earliest possible.

Calling oracle function from Access passthrough query does not return list

Thanks to the help I received in an earlier post I've created an oracle 10g function that returns a list after executing the sql it contains. It works in oracle, using sql developer.
I need to have the list that it returns show up in MS Access via a passthrough query. It's not working so far. The connection string etc is ok, I'm able to use passthrough queries to run sql strings successfully. But when I try to call the function via the Access passthrough query at first nothing seems to happen (ie no list appears) and if I try to run it again, there is a odbc error 'call in progress. Current operation canceled'. There are only the three records in the table. I'm missing something, can anyone spot it?
The passthrough query looks like this
select * from fn_testvalues from dual
Again that runs in oracle.
To create the testing table and 2 functions see below.
CREATE TABLE t_values (MyValue varchar2(10));
Table created
INSERT INTO t_values (
SELECT 'Merced' c1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'Pixie' FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '452' FROM dual);
3 rows inserted
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_isnum(p_val VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
n_val NUMBER;
BEGIN
n_val := to_number(p_val);
RETURN 1;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN 0;
END;
Function created
testing the table:
SELECT val, fn_isnum(MyValue ) isnum
FROM t_values;
VAL ISNUM
Merced 0
Pixie 0
452 1
Now the function that is called in the passthrough query:
create or replace function fn_testvalues
return sys_refcursor is
rc sys_refcursor;
begin
open rc for
Select t_values.*, fn_isnum(MyValue) IsNum from t_values;
return(rc);
end fn_testvalues;

lecaro wrote:
OK. But obviously there is some oracle object that one can call via an Access pass-through query which returns rows?Just to clarify. You could fetch data in Access from an Oracle function that returns a ref cursor using VBA editor. To use a pass-through query Oracle function should be a table function or pipelined table function:
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE testvalues_obj_type
    AS OBJECT(
              val varchar2(10),
              isnum number
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE testvalues_tbl_type
    AS TABLE OF testvalues_obj_type
CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION fn_testvalues
    RETURN testvalues_tbl_type
    PIPELINED
    IS
        CURSOR testvalues_cur
          IS
            SELECT testvalues_obj_type(MyValue,fn_isnum(MyValue)) testvalues_obj
              FROM t_values;
    BEGIN
        FOR v_rec IN testvalues_cur LOOP
          PIPE ROW(v_rec.testvalues_obj);
        END LOOP;
        RETURN;
END;
/To test it in Oracle:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE(fn_testvalues)
VAL             ISNUM
Merced              0
Pixie               0
452                 1

SELECT *

Migration map from DB2 MVS to oracle

Hi there,
I am looking for more details for OMWB,
if it could be used to migrate from DB2 MVS to oracle,
and especially concerned about the mapping procedure,
also concerned about volume and speed as for about millions of records /rows are involved.
How much the OMWB can help?
Please help.......:~
Thanks
and regards.

Hi there,
Thank you very much for your reply,
also,
can the OMWB for DB2/400 also works for DB2/MVS?
is there utility in OMWB exists for the mapping procedure?
thanks a lot.

PeopleSoft CRM 8.8 migration from DB2 UDB v8.1x to Oracle 9i Rac

Hello,
What is the best way to migrate a PeopleSoft CRM 8.8 application (PeopleTools 8.44) from DB2 UDB v8.1x to Oracle 9i Rac? From what I can tell I have either two options; 3rd party software or data mover. Is there a Workbench tool to do this job or is data mover my best bet.... Just an FYI...The database size is around 100GB...
Thanks

I would suggest that you get in contact with your Oracle account team with this request. We have groups inside Oracle with have experience migrating databases underneath PeopleSoft applications. They would be able to provide you with the best advice and assistance if required.

Help on Migration from DB2 version 8.1 to Oracle 10g

Hi All
We have one requirement of migrating one Mainframe database to Oracle 10g. the DB version is DB2 8.1 on Z OS. We are thinking of using Oracle Migration workbench. Can someome help me know if this is supported by OMWB tool or not. I checked in oracle site, they have mentioned some details about V4R5. Could not conclude. Please confirm this. Also let me know if there is any tool that we can use or we have to go manually. Any pointrs would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prashant

OMWB nor its follow up product SQL Developer Migration workbench support DB2 z/OS migrations. You have to do them "manually".
For a manual migration you might use an Oracle Gateway which allows you to use an Oracle database link to the Db database and you can then use the gateway to copy the data from Db2 to Oracle. Another alternative would be to unload the DB2 data into an ascii file and to load it into the Oracle database using SQL*Loader. You might also use Golden Gate which is commonly used to replicate data between Oracle and DB2 - but it allows you also to use it as a migration utility.
There are also Oracle partners that can assist you with the migration - please have a look at:

Performance issue - insert records from db2 tables

I have a table say emp in oracle database and i have the emp table in db2 database. My job is to pull all the records (million records) from db2 table to oracle emp table. My insert statement is like below. I am connecting to the db2 database using dblink.
insert into emp
select * from emp_db2, dept_db2
where emp_db2.dno = dept_db2.dno
and dept_db2.dno = 10;
The statement is still running. How to improve the performance ?
please suggest.
thanks,

I am not getting the explain plan because the query is still running.
do as below

Null values from DB2 cause problems

Hi,
I have another problem with database link to DB2 using IBM iSeries Access for Linux on 64 bit OEL5 with Oracle Database gateway and unixODBC 2.2.14.
DB link works. However, null values from DB2 cause problems. Date columns that are null on db2 return a date '30.11.0002', and character columns that are null return an error ORA-28528: Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error.
isql returns correct results.
How can i fix this? Perhaps set some parameters for data conversion on the gateway?
Thank you.

If the driver is not fully ODBC level 3 compliant and misses functions, we're lost. But sometimes the drivers are ODBC level 3 compliant but miss the correct 64bit implementation. In those cases we can tell the gateway to use the 32bit ODBC level 3 standard by setting in the gateway init file:
HS_FDS_SQLLEN_INTERPRETATION=32

Oracle report from 6i to 10g

hi all,
We try to move oracle report from 6i to 10g. however we found that the report's record ordering is different.
The case is that, the record in report is ordered according to the attribute "break order".
There is no "order by" in sql".
It runs without problems in 6i, but in 10g , the ordering of the record has no ordering.
Please help to solve the problems or give some advice. Thanks.

Break order property only works for ordering in break groups. For other groups (like the lowest level group) you have to use order by in your SQL.
That was also the case in 6i, so you may just have been lucky that it worked at all.
This is from the Help:
The Break Order property is the order in which to display the column's values. This property applies only to columns that identify distinct values of user-created groups (i.e., break groups ). The order of column values in a default group is determined by the ORDER BY clause of the query for SQL queries
