Updating a LONG RAW field in Oracle DB from SQL Server

Hello Experts,
I need to be able to update a LONG RAW (binary, it looks like the SQL Server type equivalent is Image or varbinary(max)) field which resides on an Oracle server and is connected to the SQL Server 2012 via a Linked Server.
I can retreive data in general, just trying to find how to deal with LONG RAW.
Thanks!
CB

Hello,
It seems that the Long datatypes in Oracle have a lot of restrictions. According to
this blog:LONG and LONG RAW columns cannot be used in distributed SQL statements.
In that case, you should update the long raw column on the Oracle side. You can try to use openquery as Rick post above to send the SQL statment to Oracle and execute.

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.

I need to create some tables from sql server 2008 to a oracle 11g database. Some tables contain vbinary datatype. Now my queries are
1. How can I do that?
2. If DB link is a solution then would you please provide me a step by step process to do so?
3. Is there any issue with datatype?
SQL Server db is on windows 2008 R2
Oracle is in RHEL 5.5
Will appreciate ur help.

well suppose i generate flat files from sql server and load in oracle by sqlloader then will there be any issue with vbinary datatype? what should be the equivalent data type in oracle table?

Migration to Oracle 9i from SQL Server 2000

can anyone tell me how they transfered the DTS packages from SQL Server to another package like Warehouse Builder.

The best way I have found is to use the Oracle Migration Workbench. You can download it from OTN.

Cannot connect to Oracle database from SQL Server

Hi
We have set up a SQL Server linked server and tried to use this SQL Server linked server to connect to Oracle database. We are using SQL Server 2008 and Oracle client 11g 11.02.00.01. However, we got this error message:
Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server 'OurLinkedServer' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[OraOLEDB.Oracle].Ourfieldname'. The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2.
We are able to connect some of the tables ok but some of the tables are not connected and got the above error message.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Tom

Hi
Here is more information. We just found out that the Oracle database team changed the character set to something else and then they changed it back to UTF8.
Currently, it is using UTF8 character set on the Oracle side. Will this causing us this error message on our sql server linked server?
The error message said "The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2."
This refers to a field/column with char(1)
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thank you
Tom

How get OraOLEDB.Oracle messages from sql server

Hi,
I am trying of get the oracle exception messages for linked server in sql server. With ERROR_MESSAGE() I get a generic error. How I can get the oracle errror with 'ORA-001' format ?
thanks

If understand you right this should do the job:
try
// do some Oracle database stuff here
catch(OracleException exc)
String error = exc.Message;
This always gives me the errors with the format you wanted.
I hope I got you right and that it helps you.
Best regards,
Matthias

Migration from SQL Server to Oracle database

I have got 2 questions:
1. We are planning to convert our OLTP sql server databases to oracle databases. I tried using SQL Developer to migrate a small sql server database to oracle database(size 5Gb). It was fine. when I tried to migrate another database(size 90G), it is taking too long. The problem with sql developer is I cannot choose and pick tables. out of 250 tables, I need to migrate abt 80 tables(size will be abt 50G). can anybody share their experiences, if any, in converting medium size sql server databases to oracle databases? any others options??
2. I am planning to convert sql server ddl to oracle ddl. I am testing bcp out and use sql loader to import the data. Right now, I am manually creating oracle tables from sql server tables. I am using http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/gateways.112/e12069/apa.htm#BABCIIDI to convert the code. Are there any other better ways to convert sql server DDL to Oracle DDL?
Thanks in advance

DDLs should be converted manually. Oracle is not SQL-Server.
If you for example have the partitioning option, you should consider using partitioning and local indexes where possible. Not all tables need to be hash tables. Do you defer segment creation or not? What is the type of tablespace? Do you set percentages for free and used to manage when the data block is on the free list and how much is reserved in the data block for updating rows in that block?
There are numerous considerations to make in terms of the physical database design.
Using BCP and SQL*Loader sound good. SQL*Loader is fast and scalable - am using it to load up to 3.6 million rows every 60 seconds. Direct and parallel loads provide the best performance in this regard (assuming that the underlying table structure and usage supports this approach).

Unable to configure Oracle Publisher in SQL SERVER 2008 R2

Hi, All,
I am trying to talk to my Oracle database from SQL server. I already had Oracle Client 11g installed in my SQL server.
Following the guidance in the technet on configuring the Distributer successfully. I now trying to configure the Publisher, by choosing "Adding Oracle Publisher" option. Then it prompt for the user id & password, I have enter the login (which
is replication user id created in Oracle). I encounter following error msg:

Kindly pls help me.

1.Make certain that a current version of the oracle client code is installed at the distributor”, please install corresponding version of Oracle
Client tools on Distributor Box
2.Are you able to connect to your Oracle server from the Distributor Box?if so,Distributor
box needs to have Oracle client tools installed on it before you can setup replication , I hope you have installed the Oracle client tools on Distributor Box. If yes, check if using SQLPlus you can connect manually to Oracle server or not from your Distributor
Box.
Moreover,Please refer the below
Before attempting to configure the Oracle Publisher, SQL Server verifies that SQL*PLUS is accessible through the system path on the Distributor. If SQL*PLUS cannot be loaded, the following error message is shown:
"Unable to run SQL*PLUS. Make certain that a current version of the Oracle client code is installed at the distributor."
Try to locate SQL*PLUS on the Distributor. For an Oracle 10g client install, the name of this executable is sqlplus.exe. It is typically installed in %ORACLE_HOME%/bin. To verify that the path of SQL*PLUS appears in the system path, examine the value of the
system variable Path:
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment variables.
In the Environment Variables dialog box, in the System variables list, select the Path variable,
and then click Edit.
In the Edit System Variable dialog box: if the path to the folder that contains sqlplus.exe is not present in the Variable
value text box, edit the string to include it.
Click OK on each open dialog box to exit and save changes.

Connect to Oracle database from SQL Sever

Can you help on an issue of connection from SQL Server to Oracle database:
In SQL Server, I create a "linked server" to connect to Oracle database on a different machine. But it will take a unreasonable time (about 30 seconds) to call a Oracle query from SQL Server.

No there are no entries required in the TNSNAMES.ORA
When you are using ODBC for connection, Oracle does not look fo rany enteries in TNSNAMES.ORA file.
Now I am able to connect to both SQL Plus and Forms 6i. But while connecting to SQL Plus its giving an error
Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM
Server not available or version too low for this feature
Connected to:
Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC 6.0.5.35.0
Microsoft SQL Server 08.00.0534
Also while disconnecting the Windows Program Error comes, and the application closes abruptly.

How to insert data from file into long raw field using utl_file?

I try to insert binary data from a file (under AIX 4.3.3) into a LONG
RAW field (Oracle 8.1.6).
First, I retrieve the data from the file like this:
DECLARE
FileHandle = UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
myVariable LONG RAW;
FileHandle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN ;('prj/oracle/admin/MARTIJN/udump',
'MyFile.ATT', 'R');
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE (FileHandle, myVariable);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(FileHandle);
INSERT INTO myTable(DUMMYFIELD) VALUES(myVariable);
Where DUMMYFIELD of table myTable is of type LONG RAW.
The GET_LINE statement crashes on Oracle Error ORA-6502: Numeric of
Value error: hex to raw conversion error.
What do I do wrong?
Do I use the right method to retrieve information from a file and put
it into a long raw field, should I try it another way?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Martijn Rutte

Zarina,
To clarify your problem, you have a script node contaning your Matlab code. Are you then using the standard LV functions to load in your data from a file and pass it into the script node?

Tristan

Updating a LONG RAW column

I have a table with a column of type LONG RAW that can take binary content of arbitrary length (up to 2 GB). I try to copy content from one row to another using the following SQL:
UPDATE TEAM_ADM.Content SET (Content, ContentType) =
(SELECT Content, ContentType FROM Content WHERE ContentId = in_SourceContentID)
WHERE ContentID = in_TargetContentID;
Content.Content is the column in question.
Oracle returns with error ORA-00997:
ORA-00997 illegal use of LONG datatype
Cause: A value of datatype LONG was used in a function or in a DISTINCT, WHERE, CONNECT BY, GROUP BY, or ORDER BY clause. A LONG value can only be used in a SELECT clause.
Action: Remove the LONG value from the function or clause.
Question: How can I copy a LONG RAW column from one row to another?

Kjell Tangen

Depending on the version of the database you have, you could use transportable tablespaces.

Taking snapshot of oracle tables to sql server using transactional replication is taking a long time

Hi All,
I am trying to replicate around 200 oracle tables onto sql server using transaction replication and it taking a long time i.e the initial snapshot is taking more than 24 hrs and it still going on.
Is there any way to replicate those these tables faster?
Kindly help me out..
Thanks

Hi,
According to the description, I know the replication is working fine. But it is very slow.
1. Check the CPU usage on Oracle publisher and SQL Server. This issue may due to slow client processing (Oracle performance) or Network performance issues.
2. Based on SQL Server 2008 Books Online ‘Performance Tuning for Oracle Publishers’ (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151179(SQL.100).aspx). You can enable the transaction
job set and follow the instructions based on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms147884(v=sql.100).aspx.
2. You can enable replication agent logging to check the replication behavior. You may follow these steps to collect them:
To enable Distribution Agent verbose logging. Please follow these steps:
a. Open SQL Server Agent on the distribution server.
b. Under Jobs folder, find out the Distribution Agent.
c. Right click the job and choose Properties.
d. Select Steps tap, it should be like this:
e. Click Run agent and click Edit button, add following scripts by the end of scripts in the command box:
-Output C:\Temp\OUTPUTFILE.txt -Outputverboselevel 2
f. Exit the dialogs
