ODBC / Oracle Linked Server Problem
Feb 15, 2004
I have a SQL server that I am trying to link to a number of Oracle environments. After much tuning, we managed to achieve this although the four-part naming was not possible and we had to use Openquery and run pass throughs.
Nothing in our configuration has changed and SQL Server is no longer able connect to the linked databases. The Oracle client on the PC is fine and is able tnsping any of the remote databases. I am also able to create ODBC connections to the remote databases on the SQL box that are fine.
Using a datalink in DTS, I can connect to the remote databases. This suggests to me that there is something wrong within the actual database links. I have set them up using the working ODBC DSN's on the SQL box.
If I try and run a query against them in Query Analyser, I get the following error message :
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
If I click on the tables icon in EM to view the remote catalogues I get the following error :
Error 7399: OLE DB provider 'MSDORA' reported an error.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
Any help that could be give on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Oracle 9i server. To access the data in Oracle, I setup an ODBC connection to it and am able to return data from it using WinSQL (a general ODBC database client). The SQL statement is simply "SELECT * FROM COLOR" and all 133 records returned properly.
I need to copy the data from the Oracle server to SQL Express, therefore I set up linked server (by Microsoft ODBC provider) using the same ODBC connection as described above.
The problem is: only 32 records returned.
May I ask if there is any problem to this linked server setup?
Thanks.

Hi--
I am running SQL Server 2005 on Win2k3:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.2047.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.2047.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.086.1830.00 (srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.3790.1830
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.2.3790
I have the OraOLEDB.Oracle provider installed to the (C:oraclexe) directory.
I am having problems querying from linked oracle server. When i setup oracle as a linked server and purposely enter an incorrect password the query i run tells me i have an incorrect password. So it at least knows that. when i set the correct password and run a query I get this error:
(i replaced the real server name with "someServer".)
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "SomeServer" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "SomeServer".
This is how I set up my Linked server:
Provider: "Oracle Provider for OLE DB"
Product Name: SomeServer
Data Source: SomeServer
Provider String: "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=SomeServer;User Id=MyLogin;Password=MyPassword"
The query I run is:
Select * from [Someserver].[schema or database]..[tbl_name]
Any help??? What am i missing?

I have an issue using parameterised reports connecting to Oracle using "ODBC" and "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" using parameteried reports. The following error is generated "ORA-01008 not all variables bound (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle)" and a similiar one for ODBC. It works fine for simple reports. Do these 2 drivers have issues passing parameters for a remote Oracle query?
Thanks.

I have a linked server set up to a FoxPro database. I have used the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC' as the Provider name, the datasource name is 'TestFoxPro' and the Catalog is AssetTracker.
I have set it up and I am able to see the table objects in the Enterprise manager, but I am unable to select from the tables in the Query analyzer. I I have tried
select * from Test2.assettracker.dbo.assets
but i get the following error
Server: Msg 7312, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid use of schema and/or catalog for OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL'. A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog and/or schema.
So i have tried three part name, but then it does not find the object.
Any suggestions??

I'm currently trying to access data from a Cache DB using MSSQL. I havelinked the Cache server through an ODBC connection. I can see in the LinkedServerexpansion all the tables in Cache for the File(?) I want to access.Here is my problem: Normally to access a linked sever I would do thefollowing:select *from ServerName.DatabaseName.dbo.TableNameI have triedselect *from ServerName.DSN.dbo.TableNameselect *from ServerName.DSN.SQLUser.TableName ("SQLUser" is the owner in Cache)None have worked (error no such object...)What is the syntax to select data on a linked sever via an ODBC connection?In the Linked server set up I have also check the RPC and RPC Out options...My ultimate goal is join tables in Cache and MSSQL into MSSQL.Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks,-p

I have SQL Server 2005
I have a linked server using an ODBC System DSN setup.
A DB with a view to access on of the table from the Acomba DB.
This view work just fine when I logged in using the Windows Authentification.
If I create a user (bla) with "sysadmin" as server roles
the user bla is the owner of the DB (he also created the DB)
He can't access that view. But can access any tables from the same DB
The error I keep having is the following :
Executed SQL statement : SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ACOMBABD, 'SELECT * FROM Customer') AS derivedtbl_1
Error Source: .NEt sqlClient DataProvider

Hi:
I configured SQL Server 7.0 by Linked Server to a Oracle db. What I found was I could select data from SQL Enterprise Manage but fail to insert any data through Query Analyst from SQL Server to Oracle. The platform for the SQL Server is NT 4.0 SP6.
Could you point out what I missed while inserting data from Query Analyst to Oracle?
Thank you very much.

Hi,I have an Oracle (8.1) & a SQL Server 2000 database withProduction data. There are situations when I need data from both thedatabases. My first choice was to link Oracle to SQL and run DTSovernight. But this would have a 1 day latency not to mention the timeit would take.1. Has any one tried real time access via Linked server to Oracle?How good is the performance?2. The Oracle db is fairly big, so I'm kinda not in favor ofcopying the whole thing over into SQL overnight. Is there an easierway to just get only the changed records from Oracle?3. Is there a better solution to this?4. Lastly, if I use OPENROWSET or OPENQUERY, can I dynamicallychange the SQL that you pass it? e.g. can the query accept aparameter?Thanks in advanceSudhesh

Anyone using a SQL Server Linked Server to access Oracle RDB on a VMS/Alpha? What connection are you using? What is reuqired? I am using OLE DB Provider for ODBC to access an ODBC connection I setup using the Oracle ODBC driver for Oracle RDB 2.1 and it seems slow and limited. You can only use the OPENQUERY method to access data, etc.

We're having some trouble connecting SQL Srvr2005 to Oracle (10g) in our 64-bit environment. We have Oracle's 32-bit Ole Db provider installed and have been able to use that in SSIS to connect and return some data running in 32-bit debug mode (as long as the query isn't long, complicated or using parameters =)
However, we have some hefty queries that we need to gather some data and want to put them in a stored proc on Oracle and call it through SSIS. We tried adding our Oracle DB as a linked server and are getting some errors. I've tried the following code replacing the provider with 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1', 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' as well as 'MSDAORA':
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
'ORA_TSTW', 'Oracle',
'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1', 'TSTW'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ORA_TSTW', false,
'user', 'lituser',
'pw'
select * from openquery(ORA_TSTW, 'select * from lituser.customer')
We keep getting the error for each of the providers we try. I've tried it in Management Studio as well as in an Exec SQL task (with debug set to 32-bit) to no avail.
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle.1" for linked server "ORA_TSTW".
I've checked and the MSDAORA.dll is registered in both C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesSystemOle DB as well as C:Program FilesCommon FilesSystemOle DB.
If we can't where we can call an Oracle stored proc, we were thinking of just using a script task to connect to Oracle and retrieve the data we need, but I have a feeling performance this way would be degraded.
Anyone have thoughts/suggestions? TIA!

Hi all,I am having trouble getting linked Oracle 9 server in MS SQL Server2005 Express to work properly. My machine is running Windows XP.The Microsoft and Oracle OLE DB Providers have problems dealing withOracle's Numeric Data Type, so I decided to use Microsoft's OLE DB forODBC Provider and an Oracle ODBC source. When using the Microsoft ODBCfor Oracle Driver in my ODBC source I have inconsistent behavior.Sometimes my queries are processed properly, then other times I get thefollowing errorOLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ODBCBEAST" returnedmessage "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttrfailed".OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ODBCBEAST" returnedmessage "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttrfailed".OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ODBCBEAST" returnedmessage "[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]".Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL"for linked server "ODBCBEAST".I have no idea why sometimes I can connect to the linked server with noproblems andwhy other times it performs like this. I'm not changing anything aboutthe system I can think of. When I use an Oracle client (PL/SQL) I haveabsolutely no problems connecting. TNSPING returns that the connectionis good.This is unacceptable so I decided to try my luck with the Oracle 10gODBC driver. However when I use this and perform an openquery selectagainst the linked server I get back only 11 rows, when I know that thedatabase has over 100 rows (in fact when using the Microsoft ODBCdriver and it works that's what I get). I figured maybe the buffersetting needed to be raised in the ODBC configuration so I took it from64000 to 600000 (a magnitude of 10) but I still get back only 11 rows.I'm at my wit's end.Any suggestions on resolving one or the other problem would be muchappreciated.Thanks much

I am trying to connect to a Oracle 9i Server to execute a sql task, but the connection when tested seems to fail with the following error from the Integration Services Project:
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. ERROR [NA000][Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
ERROR[IM006][Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
ERROR[0100][Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager] The driver does not support the version of ODBC behavior that the application requested (see SQLSetEnvAttr).
The connection was configured and tested from Oracle's SQLPlus session. Please note that the port that the TNS Server is listening is not the default. Is there somewhere I can specify the port in the SSIS connection manager to resolve the issue.
I have tried OLEDB connection and that does not work either.
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Monisha

Can someone please tell me what oracle software needs to be installed on a sql server machine that will link to an Oracle database on an NT4 machine.
Also can you also confirm if you have successfully executed an oracle stored procedure from sql server using the open query function. If yes, How? because I have read about people having prolems executing stored procedures with arguments using the OPENQUERY Function.
Thanks

Anyone have any suggestion on increasing the performance going over a linked server? IS this connection persistent? Or does it establish a connection with each reference? Any other Providers for the connection other than Microsofts OLE DB Provider for Oracle? I imagine that building index's on the referenced oracle tables would help?
Any help, input or suggestions would help.

I have a SQL Server 2012 instance set up with a linked server to an Oracle Database. I need to build a stored procedure (single NVARCHAR(6) parameter in: @accountID) which executes a select statement against the Oracle DB.
Everything's working fine when testing with 'EXEC (''<oraclecodeblock>'') at LINKEDSERVERNAME' if I hard code the value of @accountID in <oraclecodeblock> but when I encapsulate it all within sp_executesql and attempt to parameterize @accountID it's throwing ORA-01722 'invalid number' errors on the Oracle DB. The parameterized value is NVARCHAR as are the account numbers.
Working:
DECLARE @accountID VARCHAR(6);
SET @accountID = '10842';
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET @sql = N'EXEC (''SELECT * from A.Accounts WHERE ID = ''''10842'''';'') AT LINKEDSERVER';
[code]...

Hello,
I have a problem which I have spent the whole day trying to resolve but with little success...
Here is the situation:
I installed the Oracle Client 9.x.x on to my production MS Windows 2003 Server running MS SQL Server 2005 Enterprise (I need to make a Linked Server connnection to an Oracle database). The problem is if I try to create the Linked Server, I get an "Oracle Client software not installed. You must have the Oracle Client software installed to create connection" message from SQL Server. This is frustrating because the software is installed and I am able to make queries through SQL*Plus to the Oracle Database...
Here is my checklist ---
1) the PATH variable on the Windows Server is set correctly to the proper ORACLE HOME directory (with proper /bin directories set as well)
2) I have an updated MDAC component installed
3) registry configuration are correct for Oracle 9i
4) created test Linked Server connections to various datasources (not Oracle)
I am assuming the tsnames.org file is set up correctly or I would be able to make queries from SQL*PLUS, is this assumption correct?
I am at a lost as to what to try next...
Any information would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
mgarrettDev

Hi,I am using MSSQL 2k, and I have a linked server set up to an Oracle RDBversion 7. It goes thru an OLE DB provider for ODBC drivers on a systemDSN, which is using an Oracle RDB ODBC driver version 3.0.2.The problem occurs when I send a query that returns zero rows - queryanalyzer just does not complete nor return. This problem is not seenwhen there are rows being returned.I ran a trace and this is the error message I get-:Non-interface error: OLE DB provider MSDASQL returned an incorrectvalue for DBPROP_CONCATNULLBEHAVIOR which should be eitherDBPROPVAL_CB_NULL or DBPROPVAL_CB_NON_NULLAnybody who experienced this before has a solution?Thanks,Lawrence
