SQL SERVER TABLE

Hello Experts
I am just curious if it is possible to know whether a record has been inserted or not on a specific table in sql server 2008r2 for a specific date?

Triggers being created to track the records as soon as record is inserted?
Or
existence of timestamp filed in your table
Or
CDC is enabled for specific table
Otherwise, its not possible.

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

Data Pump .xlsx into a SQL Server Table and the whole 32-Bit, 64-Bit discussion

First of all...I have a headache!
Found LOTS of Google hits when trying to data pump a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table. And the whole discussion of the Microsoft ACE 64-Bit Driver or the Microsoft Jet 32-Bit Driver.
Specifically receiving this error...
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Office Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "External table is not in the expected format.".
Error: 0xC020801C at Data Flow Task to Load Alere Coaching Enrolled, Excel Source [56]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"
failed with error code 0xC0202009.
Strangely enough, if I simply data pump ONE .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table utilizing my SSIS Package, it seems to work fine. If instead I am trying to be pro-active and allowing for multiple .xlsx Files by using a Foreach Loop Container and a variable
@[User::FileName], it's erroring out...but not really because it is indeed storing the rows onto the SQL Server Table. I did check all my Delay
Why does this have to be sooooooo difficult???
Can anyone help me out here in trying to set-up a SSIS Package in a rather constrictive environment to pump a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table? What in God's name am I doing wrong? Or is all this a misnomer? But if it's working how do I disable the error
so that is stops erroring out?

Hi ITBobbyP,
According to your description, when you import data of .xlsx file to SQL Server database, you got the error message.
The error can be caused by the following reasons:
The excel file is locked by other processes. Please kindly resave this file and name it to other file name to see if the issue will be fixed.
The ACE(Access Database Engine) is not up to date as Vaibhav mentioned. Please download the latest ACE and install it from the link:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255.
The version of OFFICE and server bitness is not the same. To solve the problem, please refer to the following document:

Error when insert data in Sql Server table(DateTime data type)

Hello all,
I have created a database link in oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 using Sqlserver gateway for oracle,Oracle run on Linux and SQL Server run on Windows platform.
I have queried a table and it fetches rows from the target table.
I am using this syntax for insert a row in Sql Server table.
Insert into Prod@sqlserver (NUMITEMCODE, NUMPREOPENSTOCK, NUMQNTY, NUMNEWOPENSTOCK, DATPRODDATE , TXTCOMPANYCODE, "bolstatus", NUMRESQNTY )
Values (1118 , 1390.0 , 100.0 ,1490 , '2012-06-23 12:37:58.000','SFP' ,0 , 0 );
but it give me error on DATPRODDATE,The data type of DATPRODDATE column in Sql Server is DATETIME.
My Question is how can i pass the date values in INSERT statement for Sql Server DateTime data type.
Regards

Just as with Oracle, you have to specify the date using the to_date() function or use the native date format for the target database (if you can figure out what that is). This is good practice anyway and a good habit to get into.

ORA-02070: Error when updating a SQL Server table thru an Oracle View

I have a SQL Server table TIMESHEET which contains a number of VARCHAR and NUMERIC columns plus a DATETIME column.
Only the DATETIME column is giving me trouble.
On the ORACLE side I have a view which selects from the SQL Server table but in order to get the SELECT to work, I had to either put a CAST or TO_DATE function call around the DATETIME field
Below is the relevant part of the 2 view definitions I have tried
create view TIMESHEET as
SELECT
"TsKeySeq" as TS_KEY_SEQ,
"EmployeeNo" as EMPLOYEE_NO,
CAST("PeriodEnding" AS DATE) as PERIOD_ENDING,
. . . (more columns - not relevant)
FROM [email protected];
An update to the view generates this message
ORA-02070: database OLEMSQLPSANTDAS6 does not support CAST in this context
create view TIMESHEET as
SELECT
"TsKeySeq" as TS_KEY_SEQ,
"EmployeeNo" as EMPLOYEE_NO,
TO_DATE("PeriodEnding") as PERIOD_ENDING,
. . . (more columns - not relevant)
FROM [email protected];
An update to the view generates this message
ORA-02070: database OLEMSQLPSANTDAS6 does not support TO_DATE in this context
If I don't include either the TO_DATE() or CAST() then I get
Select Error: ORA-28527: Heterogeneous Services datatype mapping error
ORA-02063:preceding line from OLEMSQLSANTDAS6
Does anyone have any idea how to update a SQL Server DATETIME column thru an ORACLE view?

You can't cast accross heterogenious databases and there is no need to. HSODBC treats SQL Server DATETIME column as DATE. For example, I have SQL Server table:
CREATE TABLE [Ops].[T_JobType](
     [JobType] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
     [JobDesc] [varchar](200) NULL,
     [InsertDt] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [InsertDt_00000006] DEFAULT (getdate()),
     [InsertBy] [varchar](128) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [InsertBy_00000006] DEFAULT (user_name()),
     [LastUpdated] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [LastUpdated_00000006] DEFAULT (getdate()),
     [LastUpdatedBy] [varchar](128) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [LastUpdatedBy_00000006] DEFAULT (user_name()),
CONSTRAINT [T_JobType_PK] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
     [JobType] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 100) ON [DATA01FG]
) ON [DATA01FG]Now on Oracle side I do:
SQL> desc "Ops"."T_JobType"@pbods
Name                                      Null?    Type
JobType                                   NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50)
JobDesc                                            VARCHAR2(200)
InsertDt                                  NOT NULL DATE
InsertBy                                  NOT NULL VARCHAR2(128)
LastUpdated                               NOT NULL DATE
LastUpdatedBy                             NOT NULL VARCHAR2(128)

How to delete rows in the SQL Server table based on the contents of Excel file

Hello, everyone,
I have an Excel file which contains data for certain dates. I need to load it in a SQL Server table. But before doing that, I need to check if the table already contains data for the dates in the Excel file. If it does, I need to delete those data
first. Not sure what is the best and efficient way to do this. Your help and guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

there are multiple ways of doing this
Fastest method would be below
1. Have a data flow task using excel source. Then add a OLEDB destination to dump the data to a staging table
2. Have a Execute sql task to delete data from your actual table based on staging table data. The query would look like
DELETE t
FROM YourTable t
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM StagingTable
WHERE DateField = t.DateField)
3. Have another execute sql task to do final insert like
INSERT YourTable (Col1,Col2,...)
SELECT Col1,Col2,..
FROM StagingTable
the above operations will be set based and faster

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

Loading a SQL Server table

Hi All,
I am developing a straight source - target interface from a sql server table to a sql server table. While executing the interface, I get an error message -
" Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'xxx' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF."
After investigating, it appears I have to execute -
SET IDENTITY_INSERT xxx ON
GO
This execution is session specific, ie I have to execute this statement each time ODI inserts into the target table. Is there a way I can have the tool run this statement ?
TIA
MN
ODI Version - 11g
Source - SQL Server 2008 R2
Target- SQL Server 2008 R2

In IKM , before the Insert new Rows statement
Create a new command call it IDENTITY_INSERT_ON
In command on Target , paste the following statement
SET IDENTITY_INSERT <%=snpRef.getTable("L","TARG_NAME","A")%> ON
GOso this way before inserting , the required command is executed on Target table ,also please use the same properties (like technology, transaction ) as specified in Insert New Rows .
Hope this helps.

I don't understand this part. Has anyone worked with this sample before? Has anyone gotten this to work? I'm trying to learn SSIS better, but I'm finding it hard to get started with this stuff. I guess if I get a couple projects under

Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Hi Ryguy72,
The solution introduced in Visakh’s blog does work. I have written the detailed steps for you:
1. Create an Excel file (Des.xls) as the destination file, rename the Sheet1 to “Excel Destination”, and add four columns: ID, Name, Subject, and Marks.
2. Create an Object type variable Subject, a String type variable SheetName, and a String type variable WorkSheetQuery.
3. Set the value of variable SheetName to “Excel Destination$”, and set the expression of variable WorkSheetQuery to:
"CREATE TABLE `" + @[User::SheetName] + "` (
`ID` Long,
`Name` LongText,
`Subject` LongText,
`Marks` Long
4. In the Execute SQL Task outside the Foreach Loop Container, set its General tab as follows:
ResultSet: Full result set
ConnectionType: OLE DB
Connection: LocalHost.TestDB (e.g. an OLE DB Connection to the source SQL Server table)
SQLSourceType: Direct input
SQLStatement: SELECT DISTINCT [Subject] FROM [TestDB].[dbo].[DynamicExcelSheetDemo]
5. In the Result Set tab of this Execute SQL Task, map result “0” to variable “User::Subject”.
6. In the Collection page of the Foreach Loop Container, set the Enumerator option to “Foreach ADO Enumerator”, and set the “ADO object source variable” to “User::Subject”.
7. In the Variable Mapping page of the container, map variable “User::SheetName” to index “0”.
8. Create an OLE DB Connection Manager to connect to the destination Excel file. Choose the provider as Native OLE DB\Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider, specify the fully qualified path of the Excel file (such as C:\Temp\Des.xls), and set the Extended Properties
option of the Connection Manager to “Excel 8.0”. Click “Test Connection” button to make sure the connection is established successfully.
9. Set the General page of the Execute SQL Task inside the container as follows:
ResultSet: None
ConnectionType: OLE DB
Connection: Des (e.g. the OLE DB Connection to the destination Excel file we create above)
SQLSourceType: Variable
SQLStatement: User::WorkSheetQuery
10. In the Data Flow Task, add an OLE DB Source component, set the connection manager to “LocalHost.TestDB”, set “Data access mode” to “SQL command”, and set the “SQL command text” to:
SELECT * FROM [TestDB].[dbo].[DynamicExcelSheetDemo] WHERE [Subject]=?
11. Click the “Parameters…” button, and map Parameter0 to variable “User::SheetName”.
12. Add an Excel Destination component, setup an Excel Connection Manager to the destination Excel file, set the data access mode to “Table name or view name variable”, and select variable name as “User::SheetName”. In this way, the OLE DB Provider can get
the Excel metadata and enable us to finish the column mappings correctly.
13. Since the Microsoft Jet 4.0 has only 32-bit driver, please make sure to set the Run64BitRuntime property of the IS project to False.
In addition, please note that there will be one useless worksheets “Excel Destination” in the Excel file. We can remove them manually or use a Script Task to delete this worksheet programmatically (need to install .NET Programmability Support feature during
Office installing).

How to insert into SQL server table form oracle forms

I created a form with oracle as my database. But there one trigger where I need to insert the data into a sql server table.
Is this possible. If so can any help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Asha

Hi,
You can insert into sql server database using the following steps
Note: Check wether you are using Forms 32 bit drivers. If not the Odbc data source will not work.
step 1: Create ODBC data source for SQL server(one time creation);
step 2: Logout from Oracle and login to SQL server giving the user name,password and host string as odbc:<odbc datasource name>;
step 3: use EXEC SQL statement to insert the values into the SQL server and then logout and login again to your oracle database.
Second Method.
Check the sql server documentation to insert the values using command line parameters. Then you can call the host command to execute this.
Third Method.
Write a VB exe to enter the values in the sql server making two connections one to oracle another to SQL server and then getting values from Oracle and putting in the SQL server database. You can call this exe using the Host command.
Hope this will help You.

How to load a comma seprated text file which contain address in to sql server table using ssis package

Hi,
I want to load a file which is comma separated and contain address .Problem is that address its self comma seprated so how do I differenciate whether comma used for column seprator or it used in address.
for eg.
One person having address like
"c/o AB corp,156 cross lane,USA"
Thanks.....

Hi SR_MCTS,
Based on your description, you want to distinguish a comma is used for column separator or used in address column in a text file, then load the data from the text file to SQL Server table.
As per my understanding, if you can replace the comma column separator to another delimiter like semicolon (;), just do it. Then we can select Semicolon {;} as Column delimiter for the Flat File Connection Manager. Or ensure all columns are enclosed in double
quotes ("). Then we can set the double quotes (") as Text qualifier for the Flat File Connection Manager, and the commas will be loaded as part of the string fields.
If you can't have that done, because computers don't know the context of the data, you would have to come up with some kind of rules that decides when a comma represents a delimiter, and when it is just part of the text. I think a custom script component
would be necessary to pre-process the data, identify where a comma is part of an address, and then treat that as one field.
Thanks,

Oracle equivalent to SQL Server Table Variables ?

Does Oracle have anything equivalent to SQL Server table variables, that can be used in the JOIN clause of a select statement ?
What I want to do is execute a query to retrieve a two-column result, into some form of temporary storage (a collection ?), and then re-use that common data in many other queries inside a PL/SQL block. I could use temporary tables, but I'd like to avoid having to create new tables in the database, if possible. If I was doing this in SQL Server, I could use a table variable to do this, but is there anything similar in Oracle ? SQL Server example:
use Northwind
DECLARE @myVar TABLE(CustomerID nchar(5), CompanyName nvarchar(40))
INSERT INTO @myVar(CustomerID, CompanyName)
select CustomerID, CompanyName
from Customers
--Join the variable onto a table in the database
SELECT *
FROM @myVar mv join Customers
on mv.CompanyName = Customers.CompanyName
The closest I've found in Oracle is to use CREATE TYPE to create new types in the database, and use TABLE and CAST to convert the collection to a table, as shown below. I can't see anyway without creating new types in the database.
CREATE TYPE IDMap_obj AS Object(OldID number(15), NewID number(15));
CREATE TYPE IDMap_TAB IS TABLE OF IDMap_obj;
DECLARE
v_Count Number(10) := 0;
--Initialize empty collection
SourceIDMap IDMap_TAB := IDMap_TAB();
BEGIN
--Populate our SourceIDMap variable (dummy select statement for now).
FOR cur_row IN (select ID As OldID, ID + 10000000 As NewID From SomeTable) LOOP
SourceIDMap.extend;
SourceIDMap(SourceIDMap.Last) := IDMap_obj(cur_row.OldId, cur_row.NewId);
END LOOP;
--Print out contents of collection
FOR cur_row IN 1 .. SourceIDMap.Count LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(SourceIDMap(cur_row).OldId || ' ' || SourceIDMap(cur_row).NewId);
END LOOP;
--OK, can we now use our collection in a JOIN statement ?
SELECT COUNT(SM.NewID)
INTO v_Count
FROM SomeTable ST JOIN
TABLE(CAST(SourceIDMap As IDMap_TAB)) SM
ON ST.ID = SM.OldID;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(' ' );
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('v_Count is ' || v_Count);
END;

Hi, got this from our plsql guys:
The term "table function" is a bit confusing here. In Oracle-speak, it means a function that can be used in the from list of a select statement thus:
select * from Table(My_Table_Function()),..
where...
The function's return type must be a collection that SQL understands. So for the interesting case -- mimicking a function with more than one column -- this would be a nested table of ADTs where both the ADT and the nested table are defined at schema level. PL/SQL -- by virtue of some clever footwork -- allows you to declare the type as a nested table of records where both these types are declared in a package spec. This alternative is generally preferred, especially because the nested table can be of Some_Table%rowtype (or Some_Cursor%rowtype if you prefer).
As I understand it from our man on the ANSI committee, our use terminology follows the standard.
The construct below seems to be a bit different (though there are similarities) because it appears from your code sample that it's usable only within procedural code. And the object from which you select is a variable rather than a function.
So, after that preamble... the answer would be:
No, we don't have any constructs to let you "declare" something that looks like a regular schema-level table as a PL/SQL variable -- and then use (static) SQL on it just as if it were a schema-level table.
But yes, you can use PL/SQL's pipelined table function to achieve much of the same effect.
Look at the attached Table_Function.sql.
It shows that you can populate a collection of records using ordinary PL/SQL code. You can't use SQL for insert, update, or delete on such a collection. I see that SQL Server lets you do
insert into Program_Variable_Table select... from Schema_Level_Table
The PL/SQL equivalent would be
select...
bulk collect into Program_Variable_Collection
from Schema_Level_Table
The attached shows that once you have populated your collection, then you can then query it with regular SQL -- both from inside PL/SQL code and from naked SQL.
and the code is here
CONNECT System/p
-- Drop and re-create "ordinary" user Usr
EXECUTE d.u
CONNECT Usr/p
create table Schema_Things(ID number, Description Varchar2(80))
create package Pkg is

Issue while accessing a SQL Server table over OTG

Hi,
I have been learning oracle for about 1.5 years and am just starting to learn some OTG pieces. I am wondering about an issue. The issue is:
"We need help with an issue we are having while accessing a SQL Server table over OTG. We are getting the following error message in Oracle :
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:

The column it is failing on is "-----------" in the view --------------- in the SQL Server database pointed to by the Oracle DB Link ------------------- thats created in the Oracle instances ---- and -----.
This was working before, but is now failing, we suspect its due to new multi-byte data being added to the base table in the above column."
I took out the details and added ---- instead. I am wondering your guys thoughts on fixing this issue and helping me learn along the way. Thanks

We get SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_C1_AS and 1252 as Collation Property and Code Page
The datatype of the column in question in SQL Server is nvarchar(100).
When I do a describe on the SQL Server view ( desc CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@------- ), I get the error below;
ERROR: object CK_DATA_FOR_OPL does not exist
Select * from CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@------ where rownum =1 does get me a row.
create table tmp_tab as
Select * from CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@----- where rownum =1;
desc tmp_tab shows the datatype of the said column in the table created in Oracle as NVARCHAR2(150).
Not sure why a column defined with size 100 in SQL Server should come across as 150 when seen over OTG. We see something similar in DB2 tables we access over OTG as well.

Developing database views between Oracle and SQL Server tables

I am on Oracle 10.2, my organization has many SQL Server databases as well and has now made
SQL server as company standard so many new databases will be developed in SQL Server. It is of course
not possible to convert all Oracle databases to SQL Server, so a mix environment will exist. Two questions:
1. Is it possible to develop database views in Oracle (10g in my case) which join Oracle tables with tables in SQL Server 2008? If yes, how. I have seen some heterogeneous connectivity setup to connect SQL Server to Oracle, but not sure whether it is possible to develop a database view across two databases.
2. I know it is not a SQL Server forum, but many DBA’s know both Oracle and SQL Server. Is it possible to develop views in SQL Server (SQL Server 2008 R2 in my case) which join Oracle 10g and SQL Server 2008 tables? I know in SQL Server, there is way to set up linked servers, but do not know whether it is possible to develop views.
Thanks a lot for your insight.

You can create views that join local Oracle tables and remote SQL Server tables. I'm pretty sure you can do the reverse as well but I haven't personally done it.
However, I would be very concerned about the performance you'd get if you created that sort of view. You'd very frequently end up in a situation where Oracle has to pull all the data in the remote table across the database link in order to apply predicates and join the data locally. That could be disastrous from a performance standpoint.
