Reading Data from SQL Server 2000 Linked Servers

Hello,
I have a colleague who wants to read data from a OO4O driver Linked Server my FRENCH_FRANCE.US7ASCII Oracle 8i database.
He's got some troubles to read data with "é", "à", and so on. They always replaced by "?"
Since I have ask him to use SQL Developer on his server to see if he has got configuration problems, his PL/SQL queries return "square figure" characters (not the usual "²") instead of "?".
For info, I've said it to use CONVERT(column, 'FR8DEC', 'US7ASCII) but it doesn't work too (also try with 'UTF8' or 'WE8MSWIN1252')
Is there a way with the SQL Server collation ???
How can I solve his problem ???

The select query returns the following infos :
PARAMETER VALUE
NLS_CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
My colleague uses the 10.2.0.1.0 client with ODAC 10.2.0.2.20.
His SQL Server linked server is 2000 with the SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_BIN (he tried the use of the distant NLS_LANG option and the no set the NLS_LANG too with no results).
Thanks in advance,
Yours,
Mickaël

  • Junk arabic details while transfer arabic data from sql server 2000 to orac

    We are facing problems to view arabic details in oracle which is transfered from sql server 2000 .
    In oracle database we are using charecterset is UTF8.
    NLS_CHARACTERSET :UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET:UTF8
    Sqlr server collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS.
    we are using stored procedure for transfering data from sql server 2000 to oracle.
    And i am able to view some arbic details which is not transfered from sql server 2000.
    I thing some configuration i need to change in sql server.
    Can any one help me out from this issue?

    I know that this is not the correct forum to ask this question.
    If someone knows this issue please help me.
    We were using to import from another intermediate sqlserver and it was successfull.
    And more over i cannot change anything in oracle database which is live.
    The issue is we are using one intermediate sqlserver for transfering the data to oracle apart from main sqlserver.
    now we want to stop the intermediate and need to transfer from main sqlserver to oracle Db.
    i guess , i need to change some configuration in main sql server.
    Main sql server and intermediate have the same collation.
    Could you please help me out from this problem?

  • Loading data from SQL server 2000 to Oracle using OWB 10.2

    Hi All,
    I have to move data from SQL server to Oracle using OWB. Any idea how to connect to SQL Server thru the OWB design centre console. There is no detail available in the documentation. OWB cocumentation says that "OWB Integrator for Oracle DB & Apps 3.0" is available to connect to Non-Oracle Database (including Sybase, Informix, ODBC).

    Hi,
    yes, you can use ODBC and configure HSODBC on the database server to create a database link to the sql-server. If your oracle server is microsoft based you are ready, otherwise you have to buy an odbc-driver for linux, unix or whatever you use.

  • Problem in Loading Data from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

    Hi All,
    I am a university student and using ODI for my final project on real-time data warehousing. I am trying to load data from MS SQL Server 2000 into Oracle 10g target table. Everything goes fine until I execute the interface for the initial load. When I choose the CKM Oracle(Create unique index on the I$ table) km, the following step fails:
    21 - Integration - Prj_Dim_RegionInterface - Create Unique Index on flow table
    Where Prj_Dim_Region is the name of my target table in Oracle.
    The error message is:

    I am using a surrogate key column in my target table alongwith the natural key. The natural key is populated by the primary key of my source table, but for the surrogate key, I have created a sequence in my oracle schema where the target table exists and have used the following code for mapping:
    <%=snpRef.getObjectName( "L" , "SQ_PRJ_DIM_REGION" , "D" )%>.nextval
    I have chosen to execute this code on target.
    Among my attempts to solve this problem was to set Create Index option of the CKM Oracle(Create Index for the I$ Table) to No so that it wont create any index on the flow table. I also tried to use the simple CKM Oracle km . Both solutions allowed the interface to execute successfully without any errors, but the data was not loaded into the target table.
    When I right-click on the Prj_Dim_Region data store and choose Data, it shows empty. Pressing the SQL button in this data store shows a dialog box " New Query" where I see this query:
    select * from NOVELTYFURNITUREDW.PRJ_DIM_REGION
    But when i press OK to run it, I get this error message:

    Hi Cezar,
    Can u plz help me with this scenario?
    I have one Oracle data model with 19 source tables and one SQL Server data model with 10 target tables. I have created 10 interfaces which use JournalizedDataOnly on one of the tables in the interface; e.g in interface for DimCustomer target table, I have 2 tables, namely Customer and Address, but the journalizing filter appear only on Customer table and this option is disabled for Address automatically.
    Now I want to create a package using OdiWaitForLog event detection. Is it possible to put all these 10 interfaces in just one package to populate the target tables? It works fine when I have only one interface and I use the name of one table in the interface for Table Name parameter of OdiWaitForLogData event, but when I try a comma seperated list of table names[Customer, Address] this error happens
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    and if I use this method <%=odiRef.getObjectName("L","model_code","logical_schema","D")%>, I get this error
    "-CDC_SET_NAME=Exception getObjectName("L", "model_code", "logical_schema", "D") : SnpLSchema.getLSchemaByName : SnpLschema does not exist" "
    Please let me know how to make it work?
    Do I need to create separate data models each including only those tables which appear in their corresponding interface and package? Or do I need to create multiple packages each with only one journalized interface to populate only one target table?
    Thank you for your time in advance.
    Regards,
    Neel

  • Reading BLOB from SQL Server 2005 using DB Link from Oracle 10g

    Hi All,
    I am trying to read a table's data from SQL Server 2005 using ODBC DB Link created in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3/4) database. I am not using oracle gateway.
    I am able read all data except for the BLOB data from SQL server 2005. It gives error given below when I try to execute query SELECT * from T_TRANSACTION_DATA@sdeslink inside a stored procedure:
    ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
    Kindly help how to read BLOB from SQL server 2005 inside Oracle 10g.
    Best Regards!
    Irfan

    Irfan,
    If you can read the blob data using 10.2 HSODBC then there should be no problem using the 11g gateway.
    I recommend you download the latest version which is 11.2.0.3 available from My oracle Support as -
    Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER
    This is a full version and does not need a previous version to have bene installed. When installing it needs to be in a completlely separate ORACLE_HOME from the existing 11.2 install.
    For the Ora-22992 problem have a look at this note in My Oracle Support -
    Ora-22992 has a workaround in 10gR2 (Doc ID 436707.1)
    Regards,

  • Error while exporting data from sql server to excel

    Hi,
    I am trying to export data from sql server to excel.
    The query that I used is s follows
    INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Folder1\abc.xls','select * from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]')
    select 
    column1,column2.... from Table1
    I get the following error message while doing so..
    String or binary data would be truncated.
    The statement has been terminated.
    One of the column's holds data more than 225 characters.
    What is the way to correct this, i want the whole data of the colum in the excel sheet.

    I haven't had great luck with the INSERT INTO OPENROWSET method.  Can you try one of the many samples from one of these 3 links?

  • Import data from sql server /vice versa

    My Database serevr version is 10.1.0.3.0.

    Is it possible to import data from sql server to oracle database?
    Also other way around.
    I mean import data from Oracle to sql server.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    You can use Heterogeneous Service to do this. This component is free but poor of resources. Simple things you can do with this, complex I really don't know.
    Also, to import from sqlserver to oracle you can use Oracle Warehouse Builder, an Oracle ETL tool. But, OWB do not work in other way, oracle to sqlserver.
    And why do want to use sqlserver, if you have oracle?

  • Importing data from SQL Server

    I'm relatively new to Oracle, and my question is about importing data. I have an SQL 2000 server and I export a database using Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle. The process finished OK but when I tried to query the tables qith SQL Plus Worksheet, I get a message saying:
    select * from rwp_purge
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    but the table is there. I can see it using DBA Studio. So, what is happening? Do I have to commit transactions after importing data from SQL Server? Do I have to rebuild statistics?
    thanks in advance,
    Gonzalo Pellegrini

    Was the table created in the schema you are loggin as when trying to access the table? If not, you will have to grant access to the table logged in as the table owner.

  • Loading data from SQL server to Oracle database

    i want to create one table in oracle db from table in sql server. Table is huge it got 97,456,789 records.
    I created db link (HS) in oracle database which is pointing to sql server. i can select that table from oracle thru db link.
    select * from "dbo"."t1@dblink;
    i fired below create table.
    create table t2 nologging parallel (degree=3) as select * from "dbo"."t1@dblink;

    is there any alternate method to do this and and populate table in oracle db faster.

    is there any alternate method to do this and and populate table in oracle db faster.Part of the performance overhead is pulling that data from SQL-Server to Oracle across the network link between them. This can be sped up by compressing the data first - and then transferring that across the network.
    For example: using +bcp+ to export the data on the SQL-Server box to a CSV file, compress/zip the file, scp/sftp the file to Oracle, and then unzipping it there. Parallel and direct load processing can now be done using SQL*Loader to load the CSV into Oracle.
    If this is a Linux/Unix base system, then the unzip/decompress process can be run in parallel with the SQL*Loader process by creating a pipe between the two - where the unzip process writes uncompressed data into the pipe and SQL*Loader reads and loads data as it becomes available via the pipe.
    Alternatively, you can do you own PQ processing. Let's say the data is date ranged. You can create a procedure on Oracle that looks something like this:
    {code}
    create or replace procedure CopyDay( day date ) is
    begin
    insert /*+ append */ into local_tab select * from remote_tab@remotedb where col_day = day;
    -- add logging info, commit, etc.
    end;
    {code}
    You can now start 10 or more of these for different days and run it in the background using DBMS_JOB.

    If everything is fine the reversing should be fine. I would say check again if the Technology of the Model and the also the dataserver is created under the right Technology in topology too.

    How do you compare 2 dates in SQL Server 2000 DB using Java?
    Let's say we have two fields: Date Reported and Target Finish Date.
    Date Reported is 09-10-2004 09:55:55: PM
    Target Finish Date is 09-12-2004 11:59:59: PM
    What i want to happen is i want to convert both dates to days and get the difference of the two.
    can SQL Server 2000 DB do this?

    it doesnt wrk.
    ok here's what i did:
    iv tested a simple code for this case.
    I created a table name tblDate which has 3 columns namely date_ID, date_From (datatype datetime), date_To (datatype datetime).
    I inserted 1 row: date_ID has the value 1, date_From has the value 10/22/2004, and date_To has the value 10/24/2004.
    i run the java code below:
    int days = 0;
              String query = "SELECT date_From, date_To cast(date_From-date_To AS int) AS Diff FROM tblZoo WHERE date_ID = '1'";
              try
                   DBConnect db = new DBConnect();
                   db.openCon();
                   ResultSet rs = db.execute(query);
                   while(rs.next())
                        days = rs.getInt("Diff");
                   db.closeCon();                         
              catch (Exception ex)
                   System.out.println("Error on Execution: " + ex);
              return days;___________
    an error occurred: Error on Execution: java.lang.nullpointerexception

  • How to retrieve nVarchat data from Sql Server DB

    How can I retrieve data of NVARCHAR data type from Sql Server 2000.
    Do I have to user ResultSet.getCLOB() or ResultSet.getBLOB() ?
    thx

    I have no idea, but you can find out the classname which is mapped by JDBC at the following ways:
    // Retrieve mapped class name by metadata.
    ResultSetMetaData metaData = resultSet.getMetaData();
    String className = metaData.getColumnClassName("columnname");
    System.out.println(className); // Prints the mapped class name. I.e. java.sql.Blob or java.sql.Clob
    // Or just upcast to object and lookup the instantiated class.
    Object object = resultSet.getObject("columnname");
    String className = object.getClass().getName();
    System.out.println(className); // Prints the mapped class name. I.e. java.sql.Blob or java.sql.Clob
