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.
Does anyone know where I can get some good examples of how to set up a linked
server to an Oracle data source in SQL 2000? I can't seem to get a link
set up to my Oracle database. In particular I am wondering how the communication works between OLEDB to the Oracle Instance and how to trouble shoot issues (for example, would is the Oracle Listener what OLEDB is talking to?) Thanks!!
I have a requirement to set up an Oracle linked server, Ive never done this before and in fact never touched Oracle so I dont really know what I am doing.

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)

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 was able to link SQL Server Express to Oracle views using Linked Manager. However, when I run the query, the performance is very slow.
Is there a way to improve performance in querying?
Previously I was using Access to link to Oracle view. But the performance is not good. Takes about 8 hours for approx 6000 records.
Thanks a lot,

I need to query both Oracle and SQL Server tables for reporting and processing, ....no updates, insert or deletes.
Is creating a linked server the only way? My company does not want me to see the entire database.
Can you just link tables? Like Access or Excel does?
Any articles or links would be appreciated.
Thanks,

In Sql server if i have a varchar field of length 12, if i enter 12 chinese characters, it fails. In Oracle there is a setting nls_length_semantics.If you put char in nls_length_semantics , it takes 12 characters irrespective of english(one byte) or chinese(doublr byte).
Is there any similiar setting for Sql server?
I'm trying to set up an Oracle database as a linked server in SQL server 7 but having some problems.
The client software is installed and seems to be working fine (Used access to link some tables). I set the product name to Oracle 8.1 and the Datasource to the system dns name. I left provider string, location and catalog blank. Under the security tab I had it set to map to the oracle account and also tried the impersonate option, but always got the same error.
Error: 7399 OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed]

This is my first time trying to set up and Oracle database as a linked server, any help is appreciated.

I know that this is primarily a SQL server group, but I am hopingsomeone has experience in running Oracle alongside SQL servers. Wecurrently only have SQL server installations in our organization.However one of our department is considering buying a third-partyapplication that runs on Oracle. We are interested to find out anyproblems that people might have experienced in such an environment. Iam doing some research on this subject to find out what I can, but Ithought I would look to the experts on this.Any input would be greatly appreciated.ThanksKarthika

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

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!

I need to push 40k rows daily to an Oracle database. I am on a Win2k Pro box with the 8.1 client and ADO 2.6 loaded. I've configured the linked server with the Oracle as well as the Microsoft provider and it takes over a minute to push just 24 rows, less than 100 bytes each, at it. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know how to link an Oracle (8.0.6.0) database to a MS SQL 7.0 db? I have set up the ODBC and it works with no problem. I can get tables from the oracle db and bring them into MS access with ODBC so I know that it is set up correctly. I just cant get visability to the db in a sql 7 environment. Any help or sugestion would be appreciated.
Thanks

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.

Hi,I have created a linked server to oracle, which works fine.But when I try and create a view joining the SQL table with the linked Oracle table, it only returns the primary key field in the Oracle table and nothing else.Anyone know why?ThanksN.B. I'm using SQL Server 2005 btw.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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);

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,

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
