SQL Server Long Text column to Oracle CLOB via DB Link

Does anyone know how to load a SQL Server Long Text column into an Oracle CLOB column using DB Link? When I try to Select from SQL Server table into Oracle table, I receive the error "ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype".
Thanks,
Susan

Hi,
This is a known restriction involving long columns -
(1) LONG datatype not supported with use of DBLINK when insert or update involves a select statement
(2) LONG datatype cannot be used in a WHERE clause, in INSERT into ... SELECT ... FROM
constructs, and in snapshots.
The workround is to use a PL/SQL procedure or try the SQLPLUS COPY command.
If you have access to My Oracle Support then review these notes -
Cannot Move A Long From non Oracle database Ora-00997: Illegal Use Of Long Datatype (Doc ID 1246594.1)

Convert MS SQL server image data type into oracle clob

Hi all! I'm tryng to access to Microsoft SQL server with Oracle via ODBC. Oracle is not able to use the image data type of Microsoft SQL server. Do you know a way to convert this data type in an oracle format? The explicit casting converts image to long raw, but after the conversion Oracle is not able to manage these data type. Thank you very much!

Writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into a Oracle table

Hello,
As a new DBA I have been tasked with writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into an Oracle table. I have been given many suggestions on how to do it from SQL Server but I I just need to write a stored procedure to run it from the Oracle side. Suggestions/guidance on where to start would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I started to write it based on what I have but I know this is not correct :/
# Here is the select statement for the data source in SQL Server...
SELECT COMPANY
,CUSTOMER
,TRANS_TYPE
,INVOICE
,TRANS_DATE
,STATUS
,TRAN_AMT
,CREDIT_AMT
,APPLD_AMT
,ADJ_AMT
,TRANS_USER1
,PROCESS_LEVEL
,DESCRIPTION
,DUE_DATE
,OUR_DATE
,OUR_TIME
,PROCESS_FLAG
,ERROR_DESCRIPTION
FROM data_source_table_name
#It loads data into the table in Oracle....
Insert into oracle_destination_table_name (
COMPANY,
CUSTOMER,
TRANS_TYPE,
INVOICE,
TRANS_DATE,
STATUS,
TRANS_AMT,
CREDIT_AMT,
APPLD_AMT,
ADJ_AMT,
TRANS_USER1,
PROCESS_LEVEL,
DESCRIPTION,
DUE_DATE,
OUR_DATE,
OUR_TIME,
PROCESS_FLAG,
ERROR_DESCRIPTION)
END;

CREATE TABLE statements would have been better as MS-SQL and Oracle don't have the same data types.
OUR_DATE, OUR_TIME will (most likely) be ONE column in Oracle.
DATABASE LINK
Personally, I'd just load the data over a database link:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_table@mssql_db_link
As far as creating the database link from Oracle to MS-SQL ... that is for somebody else to answer.
(most likely you'll need to use an ODBC driver)
EXTERNAL TABLE
If the data from MS-SQL is in a CSV file, just use and external table.
same concept:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_external_table

Error converting SQL Server DDL and views to Oracle

I am trying to convert SQL Serve 2008 on windows to Oracle 11g using SQL Developer 3.2.20.09. I am using the jtds-1.2.7 drivers to connect to SQL Server.
I have made several attempts to run the conversion and am getting the tables, indexes, and triggers converted with no issue. However, my Procedures and views are not coming across. All of them are giving similar errors as:
"Failed To Convert Stored Procedure get_compvision > esp3.dbo.get_compvision:unexpected end of subtree: Line 0 Column 0"
When I log into the source SQL Server environment using SQL Developer, I get an empty SQL Editor window with "null" when I try to {right-click -> "Open"} on the Procedure.
Logging into SQL Server Administrator as the same user I can see the source code, so the issue appears to be related to SQL Developer and not my user privleges. I am a dbo alias in SQL Server.
In addition, if I click on a view, I can see the data and metadata, but not the SQL that defines the view. I see tabs for column, data, triggers, and details.
In addition, if I go to the "capture" for my Migration project and drill down to procedures, I can see them listed, but each and every procedure gives me a "/* DDL not accesible */" error. I get teh same results for views, triggers and indexes.
Can someone help me? I have been googling for days!

PHP MaxDB - update on long text column

Hi!
I'm getting problem with update statement on long text column via PHP MaxDB.
As far as there is no example on maxdb_stmt_send_long_data in php documentation, i'm completely stuck with this.
My table definition:
CREATE TABLE "ADMIN"."PRESS"
     "ID" Integer NOT NULL,
     "R_PUBLICATION" Varchar (100) ASCII,
     "NUM" Integer,
     "R_DATE" Date,
     "R_TITLE" Varchar (100) ASCII,
     "R_B_TEXT" Varchar (1000) ASCII,
     "ID_TYPE" Integer,
     "R_FILENAME" Varchar (500) ASCII,
     "R_TEXT" Long ASCII,
     PRIMARY KEY("ID")
PHP code:
$stmt = maxdb_prepare($db, "update press set r_publication=?, num=?, r_title=?, r_text=?, r_b_text=?, id_type=?, r_date=?, r_filename=? where id=?");
maxdb_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 'sisbsissi', $r_publication, $num, $r_title, $r_text, $r_b_text, $id_type, $str_date, $r_filename, $id_f);
maxdb_stmt_execute($stmt);
maxdb_stmt_send_long_data ($stmt, 3, $r_text);
maxdb_stmt_close_long_data($stmt, 3);
maxdb_stmt_close($stmt);
After calling the above php-script I get this warning:
Warning: maxdb_stmt_execute(): Wrong parameter type. Expected: long.
Has anyone an example on how to update (or insert) LONG string value via the php MaxDB extension?
Thanks in advance.
Operating system: CentOS 5.3 Final
PHP: 5.2.10
Apache: 1.3.41
MaxDB: 7.7 Linux 32 Bit
PHP MaxDb Extension: 7.6.00.38

We using the procedure to insert and update. Procedure will called to update or insert only one record at a time from XX databse to YY database.
We are not using SQL * PLUS for this operation.

How to integrate from MS SQL SERVER 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.

Hi
I am new to ODI. I am trying to load sample data from MS SQL Server 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.
1. I have created three models.
1-1. SQL2005 (SRC_CUSTOMER table)
1-2. Flatfile (SRC_AGE_GROUP.txt & SRC_SALES_PERSON.txt)
1-3. Oracle 10g (TRG_CUSTOMER table)
You may know I got those environments from the ODI DEMO environment.
2. I could able to reverse the tables also.
3. I have created an interface which contains source table (from MSSQL 2005), Flatfile and target table from ORACLE model.
4. I have imported the knowledge modules. But I am confusing in selecting the knowledge modules to source and target tables.
I've selected LKM File to SQL for flatfile model.
I've also selected LKM SQL to SQL for MSSQL 2005 model and IKM Oracle Incremental Update for the target table (ORACLE).
I've also implemented the interface that I created. It worked without errors. But there is no data in target table which is TRG_CUSTOMER.
I really would like to know what happened and what the problems are.
You can email me [email protected]
Thanks in advance
Jason Lee

what did give for SRC_AGE_GROUP SRC_CUSTOMER join condition
if it is
(SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX
give it as
(SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE>SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE<SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX

Insert data from SQL Server 2008 St.Ed to ORACLE 11gr2 St. Edition

Dear all,
I'm searching a solution for faster transmission of data of a db SQL Server (2008 St. edition) vs PROD db that is an ORACLE 11gr2 St. edition too.
Actually this operation spend 1,5 hours but I'd like cut this time because size of the data grow up in future and this time could be a serious problem ....
Looking on Oracle Enterprise Manager I've seen that main problem is about commit .. SQL Server every record insert into Oracle TBL generate a commit ... unfortunately I cannot insert when commit must be done ... If will be solved it probably may be solved situation ...
Thanks in advance for every idea.

If you are depending on MS SQL server technology to do this, you are going to be stuck with the performance of that technology.
A few weeks ago we had a need to load institute a daily load of or DW from a MSSQL database. The MS-centric person responsible developed a procedure (using MS tools) that took 4.5 hours to load 1.2 million rows. I ran a session trace and the tkprof report revealed exactly what has already been described. Single row insert and commit. I knocked together a PL/SQL procedure that did a single INSERT .. (SELECT .. FROM TABLE@MSSQL). and it ran in 4 minutes. Using the Oracle transparent gateway for ODBC.

How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?

How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?
Let's say the SQL Server and Oracle Database are in the same Company Internet Network.
I have the code, but I do not know how to use it. Such as what is System DSN Name? Where could I get it. What does it look like?
Do I need to install any Oracle Client Software in order to link from SQL Server to Oracle? Or SQL Server has the built-in drivers installed already that I can directly create a Linked Server from SQL Server to Oracle?
I need to know details. Thanks.
USE master
go
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
     @server  = '{Linked Server Name}'
    ,@srvproduct = '{System DSN Name}'
    ,@provider  = 'MSDASQL'
    ,@datasrc  = '{System DSN Name}'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
     @rmtsrvname = '{Linked Server Name}'
    ,@useself  = 'False'
    ,@locallogin = NULL
    ,@rmtuser  = '{Oracle User Name}'
    ,@rmtpassword = '{Oracle User Password}'

You need an OLE DB provider for Oracle. There is one that ships with Windows, but it only supports very old versions of Oracle. Oracle has an OLE DB provider that you can use. I don't know if it's part of Oracle Client or how it is bundled.
You should not use MSDASQL or any DSN.

Linked Servers - Sql server 2005 to connect to Oracle 11g using ldap.ora instead of tnsnames.ora

We have a SQL Server 2005 64bit box that needs a linked server created to Oracle 11g 64bit box. I have all the Oracle client software installed and can successfully connect to the Oracle database using SQL+ on the SQL Server 2005 64bit box. When I create
the linked server and select the OraOledb.Oracle provider, I get the TNSNames error. The Oracle server does not use tnsnames.ora it uses OLAP.ora to resolve. How do I get Linked server to stop trying to connect via TNSNames and use the OLAP.ora file instead?
I can't find any articles for this specific issues. All Oracle examples tell you to use TNSNAMES. The Oracle server is not under my companies control so I can not force the vendor to use tnsnames instead of OLAP.

Hi,
Have you got a resolution?
Thank you.

SQL Server 2005 64 bit and Oracle 9

Hi,
I have a situation which involves SQL Server 2005 64 bit and Oracle 9 32 bit,
I have a requirement that involves creating Stored Procedures from Oracle 9 which will call tables from SQL Server 2005 64 bit, with operations involving 'Select' 'Insert' 'Update' and 'Delete'.
it works fins, except when attempting to search for an SQL Server 'varchar' value, wher no mapping is done
though the Oracle sees the field as 'varchar2'
can anyone please advice on this
thanks
Basel

I think you're somehow not getting a resuklt because you're query doesn't return any data.
Why the fiealdA=pat=parameterA construct? Wouldn't it just work if you changed it to fieldA=parameterA?
Also, can you not just define parameterA as a varchar to make them match?
What if you do "select * from (<your query without where>) a where a.fieldA = :parameterA"
While not efficient, it would make the filtering occur in Oracle and maybe that will let you see the problem in native Oracle land and then reuse the solution in your orginal query. If that doesn't work, drop the where clause and inspect the data closly and hardcode a simple where without using PL*SQL or bind variables.

Ah, just spotted it's a delete statement - you won't be able to do it using subquery factoring in Oracle.
I had a go at trying to convert for you, but notice that you reference the cte from inside the cte... I can only assume you have a table called cte too...
DELETE FROM dbo.tb1
WHERE col1 = 12
OR col2 IN (SELECT col1 FROM cte)

Does SQL Server has an equivalent to Oracle's OEM?

I am not sure if this is the correct area to ask my question. My manager asked me if SQL Server has an equivalent to Oracle's OEM. Does it? I mean OEM is not like Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
lcerni

Hello,
You can use SQL Server Management Studio to manage SQL Server instances as you do with Oracle Enterprise Manager, and you can have a management and performance
data warehouse using SQL Server Management Data Warehouse (MDW) as explained on the following article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939169(v=SQL.100).aspx
MDW data collection can be customized.
Hope this helps.
