SQL 2000 linked server to MSDAORA returns "provider did not ...

Hi, I have a linked server setup in SQL 2000 using "MS OLE DB Provider for Oracle" to connect to a Oracle 9.2 DB on another server.
This works fine apart from when the Oracle database is being backed-up, in which case any query against it returns: -
Step Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Step Error DescriptionLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error. (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (80040e14): OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the error.].)
This is OK when the backup is running but we could be missing important messages if the Oracle errors are not able to be passed back correctly.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Richard

did you find any answers? I have encountered the same problem

SQL 2000 LINKED SERVER ERROR 7303 WITH SQL 2012 ON WINDOWS SERVER 2012 R2

Hi all,
I have a problem with SQL Server 2012 and a linked server for SQL 2000 database.
System specification:
Windows server 2012 64 bit
SQL SERVER 2012 64 bit
REMOTE SERVER SQL 2000 32 bit
I've installed sql native client 32bit,create a SYSTEM DSN odbc connection with "SQL Server" driver named "MYSERVER".
Create a linked server with the query below in SQL 2012:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server =N'MYSERVER', @srvproduct=N'MYSERVER', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc =N'MYSERVER', @location=N'System';
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'MySERVER',@useself=N'True',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=NULL,@rmtpassword=NULL
GO
but when i browse the linked server i receved error 7303.

You need 64-bit MSDASQL. It is the bitness of the server you are connecting from that matters. 64-bit executables cannot hook into 32-bit DLL.
However, I suspect that you will not get things to work anyway. At least I have not seen anyone this far who has been able to set up a linked server from SQL 2012 to SQL 2000. I know that when I tried this, the following providers had this result:
SQLNCLI11 - does not support connections to SQL 2000.
SQLNCLI10 - failed with some obscure message that I don't recall.
SQLNCLI - Don't recall that the problem was here.
SQLOLEDB - SQLOLEDB is always replaced with the most recent version of SQLNCLI, so this fails because of lack of support.
I don't think I got through all version of the ODBC drivers, though.

SQL 2005 Linked server to Oracle append

Hi Oracle Exprets,
i am using an SQl 2005 linked server too pull data from specific table in Oracle data base.
the thing is i have to pull data daily and append this data to the exsisting table.
here is my code :
EXEC sp_tables_ex @table_server ='LINKED_ORA',@table_schema='Myschema'
INSERT INTO dbo.ARS20091
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(LINKED_ORA,
'SELECT
TROUBLEID,
CREATE_DATE,
DATE ''1970-01-01'' + CREATE_DATE / 24 / 60 / 60
CREATEDATE
FROM CLIENT_TROUBLE
WHERE CREATE_DATE between ''1230768001'' AND ''1239043005''');
GO
this code works but i have to change the date daily and do a complete insert in a new table.
Is there a way to append data daily ?
thanks

Hi sanjay,
but why sysdate is giving me the today's date and when i use getdate ...it does not give me anything..
i am using openquery tooracle data base..usually i have to use Oracle command..

Also it should start from Column.0. But you put:
<add name="FSDEVTL.GET_SUPPLIERS.RefCursorMetaData.SUPPLIER_NAME.Column.1" value="implicitRefCursor
*With the following in your config file, do you still have the issue?*
<add name="FSDEVTL.GET_SUPPLIERS.RefCursor.SUPP_LIST" value="implicitRefCursor bindinfo='mode=Output'" />
<add name="FSDEVTL.GET_SUPPLIERS.RefCursorMetaData.*SUPP_LIST*.Column.*0*" value="implicitRefCursor metadata='ColumnName=SUPPLIER_NAME;BaseColumnName=SUPPLIER_NAME;BaseSchemaName=FSDEVTL;BaseTableName=A_SUPPLIER;NATIVEDATATYPE=Varchar2;ProviderType=Varchar2'" />

OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' reported an error The provider did not gi

Hi, I've setup oracle client tools on a windows server that runs sql server 7
tnsping works as well as the client tool test feature on my sid.
However, I can't seem to use it from SQL Server. I've installed and uninstalled the client tools many times, I'm beginning to think perhaps I installed the wrong package. Weird thing is there is no Listener listed in Windows Services, yet the listener I setup is working.
I enabled the allow in process property of both the MSADAORA and Oracle OLE drivers from SQL Server, help!!

The MS OLEDB for Oracle was built some time ago and requires an older SQL*Net version:
OLE/DB provider returned message: Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
=> see Oracle Version V7.3.3 ... but you have installed V10; so the OLEDB driver from MS tries to locate old SQL*Net client library files which are not available in your installation anymore.
So best would be to use the Oracle OLEDB driver coming with the SQL*Net client you have installed.
As you mentioned this causes a different error:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the e
This error is related to the OLEDB process running by default in "out-of-process" mode which doesn't work with Oracle OLEDB driver. By setting a key in the registry under SQL Server this can be changed to run in-process (the default) the provider will work:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Providers\ORAOLEDB.ORACLE
Change the value of the key "AllowInProcess" under the "OraOLEDB.Oracle" folder
to a hexadeciaml value of 1.
If the key does not exist create it as a new DWORD value.

SQL 2012 Linked Server connection from SQL 2000

If so, which provider should I use?
Many Thanks,

Ms sql server linked server with OraOLEDB.Oracle provider session handling

Hi everyone!!
Here's my situation:
I have a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 with a linked server to Oracle via OraOLEDB.Oracle provider.
I use a .net application to open a connection to my sql-server, execute a select that collects data through the linked-server-connection from the oracle database and after that I close to connection to the sql.
It does work so far,
but when I start my application, exit it proberly and start it again it seems that i get the same session as before (which is for some reasons very bad).
Is that the right/normal behavior?
Is there any way to avoid that?!
How does the OraOLEDB.Oracle provider handle the sessions if used in/as a linked server?
thanks and greetings,
exoc

Ｈii Rouann,
Does the error occur when you call the stored procedure from SSIS package and map SSIS variables to the parameters in the stored procedure? Can you run the store procedure from SSMS properly? If you can run the stored procedure from SSMS, the issue seems
to occur due to the date format mismatch between the SSIS variables and the parameters in the stored procedure.
If you cannot run the stored procedure from SSMS as well, the issue should occur due to the incorrect data conversion within the store procedure itself as Tom mentioned.

Data extraction from SAP r/3 to sql 2000, bpc server

Hi All,
I have posted a similar thread previously,sap r/3 to sql 2000/2005, and understood how to transfer data from SAP R/3 to SQL 2005, but I need to transfer data from SAP R/3 to SQL 2000 server, not SQL 2005 server.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kranthi.

If you want to extract SAP R/3 data to SQL 2000, here are some alternatives:
1. It becomes very easy if by any chance, you are using SAP BW with SAP R/3. You can extract the data into BW using standard or custom extractors and then send it out with open hub. SQL2000 can pick the flat files from a specified location at regular intervals.
2. You can use Business Object extractors. You can get more info at:
http://www.france.businessobjects.com/pdf/products/dataintegration/rapid_marts_sap_infosheet.pdf
3. If that is not an option, then you need to have a tool that allows being called via RFC. This agent will then execute the required command on behalf of your application and return the result. I do not know if there is a ready-to-use RFC-compliant agent for SQL Server. If you have a tool that does it for you, you might have to check your network connections (ping), permissions etc. and see if you can execute an rSQL from the remote machine on the SQL server.
There is a general solution to connect to nearly any kind of modern server application from a remote site by using simple HTTP requests. Suitable HTTP server for most needs would be:
1. Microsoft IIS
2. Java Tomcat or IBM WebSphere
3. SAP WebAS
In most cases, the IIS would probably be the one as it is installed on the Windows 2000 server anyway.
Define an Active Server Page (ASP.NET) and insert the necessary code in your favorite language to extract the data from the SQL server.
Your ASP.NET page would pack the result in the HTTP response object to be returned. In order to call the page from SAP you call the function modules HTTP_POST (using a HTTP POST request) or HTTP_GET (for HTTP GET request) on the standard RFC destination SAPHTTPA. (Pointing to a SAP utility program saphttp that resides in the SAP binary directory of your SAP database server and can be called from the command line in order to test its functionality without RFC).

Linked server problem, its works locally but not from remote machine

Hi,
i am using the application NAV and have written the query in the application. am using automation variable to link to the SQL Server.
The problem is that , the query which i have written executes only when i am working on local machine .
I mean when i want to execute the same query from remote machine through my app Dynamics NAV then its not getting executed.
Thanks in advance

Depends on what you are trying to do and what security you are using.
What error did you get?
If you are using windows authentication then take a look at delegation

Turned domain server into DC. Groups did not translate over. Share permissions changed. What did I do?

I have two servers that are on a 2008 Active Directory Domain. Server 1 was originally the main DC, while server 2 was just a domain member. I upgraded the second server by adding DNS and Active Directory to the roles, and then used Server Manager
to do the DC Promo thing.
For some reason, the shares on this second server now are seeing some of the groups that had were controlling access to the shares on this server showing up as Account Unknown. My users can't get into the shares anymore. Errors suggest they
no longer have permissions.
What did I miss? Those groups exist on the first server, and have the right users in them.
Thanks

Hi Christoffer,
You are right that my last reply only applies to the first Domain Controller in the domain.
I added a additional DC into the domain, its local users didn't show in ADUC, then I demoted it, and its local users were gone.
Thank you for the reminding!
Regards,
Amy
I agree with Christoffer. I'm happy to hear your lab results provided you the same information.
If the original poster did see the local users and groups appear in ADUC after the promotion, it's telling me that it was promoted into a brand new domain/forest and not as a replica.
The shares should show up, and I understand that if any of the local users and groups were in the ACL that they should now show up as Unknown User, but if the users and groups showed up in ADUC, then something went wrong.
If the original poster, Emmette, can provide us a specific step by step on how the second DC was promoted, along with an ipconfig /all from each DC,
that will better help us understand what occurred, and help us provide assistance to fix it.

When I try to copy and paste in firefox it says I can't do it any longer. It's a security issue, and the "learn more" tab gives some abstruse directions about completely closing firefox, and then getting back in without opening it to a place I can't find.

SQL Server 2K "Linked Server" to Oracle 9i Release 2 via "Oracle Provider

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a SQL Server 2000 "Linked Server" to Oracle 9i Release 2 via "Oracle Provider for OLE DB". I have downloaded and installed "Oracle Provider for OLE DB Release 9.2.0.2.0"
My SQL*Net alias/datasource in tnsnames.ora works (It passes the test in "Net 9i Configuration Assistant", I can connect from SQL*Plus, and I can get a Linked server going with the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle").
When I set up my Linked Server with Oracle Provider for OLE DB, I need to supply the following three fields (with description from the read-only field at the bottom of the "Linked Server Properties)
Product name: (The product name is the OLE DB data source to add as a linked server.)
Data source: (The data source is usually the name of the server or filename.)
Provider string: (This is the entire provider string.)
Here is my tnsnames.ora entry that works as described above (names may have been changed to protect the innocent)...
PROD9I.XYZ.LOCAL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = nn.nn.nn.nn)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = PROD.ora2.xyz.mno.com)
With every combination of values I have tried for these fields, when I try to use the Linked Server I get this error message...
Could not create an instance of OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle'.
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: CoCreate of DSO for OraOLEDB.Oracle returned 0x80040154].
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,
Daniel Jameson

Thanks Norman.
Well, I've made it a step closer. I uninstalled everything Oracle from my machine and reinstalled the 9i stuff, including the Oracle OLE DB Provider. Now, after I set up the linked server, and I try to view the Tables or Views under the Linked Servers, I get this error message...
Error 7399: OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' reported an error.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' IDBINitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
Does anyone have any idea what this is about? My other Linked Server using the same Oracle SQL*Net alias, but using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider, works fine.

Have trouble query after creating a linked server from SQL Server 2008 to EXCEL 2007

I created a linked server from SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express to an EXCEL 2007 workbook using:

The linked server LSERVER_EX0 was created, but I cannot see any table(excel sheet), and when i ran the following to query tables,
sp_tables_ex 'LSERVER_EX0'
I got:Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES" for OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "LSERVER_EX0". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
Any hint why?
on another note, i was able to import the EXCEL sheets using the Import and Export Data wizard, but i cannot control the column data type and size in this way.

Open management studio, goto "Server Objects"->"Linked Servers"->Providers, select the provider you use, right click it and in provider options, check "Allow inprocess".

Linked Server SQL 2008 64 bit Windows Server 2008 64 bit

Hello there,
I'm trying to access my customers Oracle database with a SQL Linked Server. The error I get is:
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server...
I did the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle client 10g with a custom installation and selected everything.
2. Created a tnsnames.ora
dev =

3. Tested this with tnsping dev, which said that the connection is OK.
4. Activated 'Allow inprocess' for my OraOLEDB.Oracle provider for the linked servers in my SQL Server Management Studio.
5. Created a new linked server with:
Linked Server: IAP
Provider: Oracle Provider for OLE DB
Product name: Oracle
Data source: dev
In the security tab I activated 'Be made using this security context'. When I now press 'OK' I get the above error message.
Can someone help me with this?

Windows 7 Enterprise 32-Bit
Installed the version 12 for 32 bit ODAC and it worked. The key is to Install as Administrator once it is unzipped.
Was able to set up Listener then
Was able to set up ODBC using the ODAC. Connect MS Access 2010 to the Oracle views.
Then, tried to install the 64 Bit onto Windows 2008 Server.
It locked up during installation both times.
Installed ODAC without an error.
However, the ODBC setup will not provide a list of the servers in the ODBC TNS Service Name listbox for Server 2008.
In Windows 7, it populates the TNS Service Name.
The list box in Windows 2008 is empty.
Do you know what would cause that?
The .ORA file scrips look the same on Windows 2008 as they do on Windows 7 except it does not have the (server = Dedicated) argument.
Thanks.
