Hi All,
I am new in the DB World. We have SQL Server in our company. Our website gets about 3 million hits every month. I have been asked to tell the management why is SQL Server 2k a better option than using Oracle. Right now, I know little about SQL Server and almost nothing about Oracle.
Can someone help me by telling me what are the main differences between the two?
Thanks
Is there any step by step help sites for setting up SQL 2005 linked (oracle 10) server?
I find MSDN articles but they referance winNT and 2000, I'm not getting very far and I'm not a DBA but need to get this working asap.
we recently got a scenario that we need to get the data from oracle tables which is installed on third party servers. we have sqlserver installed on ourservers. so they have created a DBLINK in oracle server to our sqlserver and published the DBLINK name.
what are the next steps that i need to follow on my sqlserver in order to access the oracle tables ?
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.
Hi!
I'm loading from Oracle using the OraOLEDB.Oracle.1 provider since I need unicode support and I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
Error at myTask [DTS.Pipeline]: The "output column "myColumn" (9134)" has a precision that is not valid. The precision must be between 1 and 38.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0204018 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
------------------------------
BUTTONS:

------------------------------
For most of my queries to Oracle I can cast the columns to get rid of the error (CAST x AS DECIMAL(10) etc), but this does not work for:
1) Union
I have a select like "SELECT NVL(myColumn, 0) .... FROM myTable UNION SELECT 0 AS myColumn, .... FROM DUAL"
Even if I cast the columns in both selects (SELECT CAST(NVL(myColumn, 0) AS DECIMAL(10, 0) .... UNION SELECT CAST(0 AS DECIMAL(10, 0)) AS myColumn, .... FROM DUAL) I still get the error above.
2) SQL command from variable
The select basically looks like this:
"SELECT Column1, Column2, ... FROM myTable WHERE Updated BETWEEN User::LastLoad AND User::CurrentLoad"
Again, even if I cast all columns (like in the union), I still get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hello,
On my dev server I have working ssis packages that use connections Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle MSDAORA.1 and Oracle provider for oledb and OracleClient data provider.
I use one or the other according to my needs.
In anticipation and to prepare for the build of a new production server, I have build a test server from scratch and deployed to it the entire dev.
Almost everything works except Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle.
ssis packages on the test machine will return an error
Error at Pull Calendar from One [OLE DB Source [1]]: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "one.oledb" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
Error at Pull Calendar from One [DTS.Pipeline]: component "OLE DB Source" (1) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C.
[Connection manager "one.oledb"]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Oracle error occurred, but error message could not be retrieved from Oracle.".
I have used the same installers for OS, SQL and Oracle SQL*Net on both dev and test machines. The install and then the restore/deployment on Test went fine.
Does anyone could point me to the right direction to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Philippe

Hi Everyone,
I've been searching for a solution for this for a week-ish, so I thought I would post my quesiton directly. Here is my scenario..
Source: MS SQL Server
Destination: Oracle 10g
The destination table has a partition set on a column called "DATE_HIGH". How do I populate this date high column in my package? Currently I just have a source object, and a destination object, but I'm unclear how to populate this field in the destination. I've read one blog that states "use OLE DB Command" - but that isn't enough information for me to implement - Can someone be more specific in these steps? Here is an example of what my newb-ness needs to understand
OLE DB Source (Select * from Table) ---> OLE DB Command (What query goes here?) --> OLE DB Destination.
Second part of my question: There is a second column called "ROW_NUM" and there is an Oracle Sequence provided to me... What objects do I need (Source, Destination, OLE DB Command etc...) and how do I call this sequence to populate on the fly as I'm loading data from my source?
If these are simple questions - my appologies, I am new to the product.
Best Regards,
Steve Collins
Hi everybody,
I have designed a DTS package which will migrate a view from Sqlserver 2000 to Oracle.My package is using Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle driver for connecting to oracle.Im able to execute this package on the my system ie on the system where sqlclient is installed(Oracle client is also installed on my machine) .But when im doing it on the server im not able to do it.The Connection to Oracle Fails.
I wanted to know in order to connect to Oracle from the server,is it necessary that Oracle has to be installed on the server?.If yes, is it enough if i install oracle client on the server or Oracle Server version has to be installed on Server.
Please suggest me wht should i do know?
Thanks in advance

Oracle and MS drivers do not support parameterized queries, so update table set column=? where primarykey=? does not work for Oracle.
Anyone knows how to update an Oracle table through SSIS?
Thanks!

My application which ran perfectly well yesterday suddenly stopped working in this morning with following error message. I didn't change anything, at least I believe. Interesting thing is that I don't use any Oracle connection but connects to MS SQL Server 2005 Express version locally. Error messages are different according to the connection string though I don't think it makes difference:
ConnectionString = <add key="Databasehandtool1" value="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=handtool;SSPI=true" />ErrorMessage from VS2008 ="Unable to get records. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
ConnectionString = <add key="Databasehandtool1" value="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=handtool;User Id=handtool_DB;Password=mypassword" />ErrorMessage from VS2008 = "Unable to get records. Unable to connect to database. ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified." By the way, the application was generated from IronSpeed 5.1 Enterprise. My development environment is : VS2008, SQL2005 EXPRESS, Windows XP SP2, ASP.NET 2.0
We have actually an Oracle server in the network though. My gut feeling is that something might have changed in my network server during the night but how come it can possibly affect my application running on my local PC. I checked the connection of local SQL Express Server from SQL Server Management Studio and it connected well with UserID=handtoo_DB and showed all tables and stored procedures required for the application. So there is no problem in SQL Server database side.
I would welcome and appreciate any input.

Hi,
This might seems a little 'out there', but has anyone tried doing ETL from an Oracle 10g ODS into an Oracle 10g DW, and from there into SSAS2005 cubes?
Any caveats houghtscomments on doing this?

Greetings,
I want to connet to Oracle databse from SQL server 2000 since I am more comfortable with SQL 2000 client package. The oracle server is 8i or above.
I am running a SQL Server 2000 on a PC with Windows XP OS.
Please help what I need to do and configuration information.
Thank you all in advance.

please tell me the best way?

When running a linked server to Oracle using the MSDAORA driver using in-process option checked, I'm getting the following error:
"A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)"
This then causes the instance to crash.
In the Event Log, it shows:
SQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception c0000005. This error may be caused by an unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling. Check the SQL error log for any related stack dumps or messages. This exception forces SQL Server to shutdown. To recover from this error, restart the server (unless SQLAgent is configured to auto restart).
When using the out-of-process, it shows the column names in the query results window, but doesn't show any data then immediately in the message window it shows:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "smtest" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "smtest".
We're using:
SQL Server 2005 SP1 with hot fixes (9.0.2153) 32-bit on 64-bit o/s Windows 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition Sevice Pack 1
We use lots of linked servers to Oracle on other servers, and can't find anything different on this one.
Appreciate any thoughts, insights!
thanks,

Ok, so these are the facts:
My company wants to implement a BI, the warehousing company we used sold us panorama on sql server. Our database is on oracle.
They were proposing this method:
a) Link oracle server, copy oracle tables to sql database and then build cubes from sql database. The operation will be made only once a day at night.
I don't like it so make it like this:
b) Build cubes directly from linked oracle server. As it is not good to build directly from tables and views (because they could change between processing dimensions), I used materialized views (or snapshots) and some views on slow modifying tables.
Problem:
Oracle snapshots must be refreshed and that is done in oracle with a procedure.
My question is:
How can I run an oracle procedure directly from sql server? I want to create a job that will refresh the oracle snapshots and process analysis database after that.
I know I can use OPENQUERY to return queries from oracle but I want to execute a script.
Solutions?
Another way was by doing it in a command line.
I asume there is an special job feature that can run programs.
PS. posted in another section too
what application are better suited for Oracle vs. SQL or SQL vs. Oracle.
What factors to look at when installing SQL vs. Oracle.

I'm not a tech guy, but a Product Manager, trying to make a decision on what database to go with for an application I'm building and am looking for analysis on it, specifically advantages/ disadvantages of SQL Server vs. Oracle db. ANy suggestions appreciated.
Outline of application:
- must handle high transaction volume. (avg is 2,000/day, high end is 500,000/day, less than 10% of customers).
- application is sold to mid market (avg. sell is $50k) so selection must be cost efffective.
- Probably building in Java so it will run quote anywhere unqoute.
Hi all!
I am an Oracle DBA who is brand new to SQL Server and I need some help. If anyone is familar with Oracle there are a set of views starting with DBA.. that will return loads of useful information about your instance. One in particular is DBA_TAB_COLUMNS which will return all information on all of a table's columns. What I am looking for now is a table or view in SQL Server that will return information on DATA TYPE and DATA LENGTH of columns in individual tables. Is there such a view or table in SQL Server? Please, please for any help on this issue. I am stuck right now and after two days of research I can't seem to find this on my own.
Thank you in advance;

Has anyone ever tried running both products on the same box? Yes I know why it shouldnt be done, but there are reasons, which I wont go into. Possible problem areas are SQLNet / TCPIP/NamedPipes/Multiprotocol, Conflicting service priorites, file system conflicts. Any others?

Hi everybody
I have 500 sql servers with 2 or more systems connected to each. THe data from each of these SQL Servers has to be updatedon a daily/weekily/monthly basis to a main oracle server.
What are the problems that can be forseen in this transfer of data.
How do i maintain data integrity in oracle ,if a particular table has identity column and each sql server will have the same identity column but different data, How do i receive data (format)from sql server and insert it into oracle.
I ll be very thankfull
