Is there any body who create a linked object in sql server 2005 SP2 to Oracle9i sucessfully? I create a link using MS OLE DB provider for oracle, it is ok but I can select the table. It gave me invalid object name linkname.owner.tablename error. If I create a link using MS OLE DB provider for odbc, it failed saying system error.
"ODBC Driver Manager: Invalid connection string attribute. Specified driver could not be load due to system error 5(oracle in oraHome92)(SQL server, error 7303)"
I installed oracle odbc 9.2 on sql server 2005 server and tested it ok. Why link server object can't create?
3.Create linked server with scripts: exec sp_addlinkedserver N'MyOracle1', 'Oracle', 'ORAOLEDB.Oracle', N'//10.154.14.235', N'FetchSize=2000', '' exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname='MyOracle', @useself=N'FALSE', @rmtuser=N'root', @rmtpassword='Sqlexp!23' 4. After create successful and testing the connection ,I got the error below.(My windows firewall is turn off)

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".)

The OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "SomeServer" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.

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?
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
Hello,I have a linked server to oracle 7.1 from SQL 2000. when I try toexecute simple select statement which returns one row of data usingopenquery is not fetching the data. After 30 minutes SQL Queryanalyser is hanging. This is happening on the production server and itis working from last 6 months. I have tried by deleting and recreatingthe linked server, but no use. Please helpThanks,Regards,Pardhasaradhy

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.
I installed the Oracle client on my computer, and I can connect to oracle databases using SqlPlus, however when I try setting up the linked server I get the following error after I try executing a query.
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 -NES
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.
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?
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.
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';
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?
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

I created a linked server to Oracle on SQL-Server 2005. I have stored the remote login username and password in the security settings (option "...Be made using this security context" in the Security tab of the Linked Server Properties.
The "Test connection" function works fine, but a select doesn't for every table the user owns. What we found out is: if the table consists only of columns defined as varchar2, the select works. As soon as the table contains only one column defined as number (without scale and precision), it doesn't work. The error displayed is:
The OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "NEXUS_FVADM" supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. The column "WEBVORZUGSTYP" (compile-time ordinal 2) of object ""FVADM"."AKZ"" was reported to have a "DBTYPE" of 130 at compile time and 5 at run time.
I have a SQL Server 2005 with a linked server to an Oracle RDB 6.0, using the Microsoft OLE DB for ODBC provider. I would like to select some rows from the Oracle RDB and then Update those specific rows afterwards. Whenever I try to do this in a transaction (BEGIN TRAN) I get an error "Driver not capable". Is there any way to do this in a single transaction?
Hello. I have the following problem: I set up a linked server in SQL Server 2000 to Oracle with Oracle OLEDB provider. I see all the tables in the linked server so the connection is successful but when I tried to select from some remote table, most often I get the following error: Server: Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. Metadata information was changed at execution time. MOREOVER, selecting from some of the tables, returns other errors: * Server: Msg 7320, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Could not execute query against OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle'. or: Server: Msg 7317, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' returned an invalid schema definition. All these errors are very strange to me!
I set up a linked server to the same Oracle database but with Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle. And everything just works perfect! (I would use this provider but it does not support distributed transactions so I can't do all my job.)
I just can't understand why the Oracle OLEDB provider is not working properly.
The same situation is happening with another PC in different LAN, with different SQL server, different Oracle database and so on.
So, I've got this query running and it works great providing there is a record in both DataBases. Now, I need to get all of those that have a record in DBServer1 but not in TranscendDB. I assume i'd use an If not exists, but can't figure out the syntax when using the Linked Object...
select Portfolio from [TranscendDB].[dbo].[CMContactEvents] as CM inner join ( select N.SSN, A.ACCOUNTNUMBER from [DBServer1].[DB1].[dbo].[Account] AS A,
Hi i have a sql server instance on my system and it is linking into an oracle database on another server. When i run queries against this other server...it takes forever...
However, when i use access, and link the table and run the same query against the oracle database...it runs immediatly.
I am very confused as to why there would be such a performance difference and why sql server would run so slow.
I am wondering if it has something to do with the way i configured the linked server. there are several options that I didn't know what they meant.
collation compatible (not selected) Data access (selected) RPC (not selected) RPC Out (not selected) collation name connection timeout query timeout
I need to link some data from SQL Server 2005 with Oracle 10 data.One way is to link Oracle server to SQL Server and use ROWSOURCE forretrieving data.What other ways for joing data from both databases exist ?Can I do it from SQLCRL VB - Stored Procedure ? If yes, what objectsshall I use for opening database and running an sql ? When I tried to import system.data.oracleclient, it was not available. Do I need to install anything for being able to use it ? Thanks a lot.
I thought this may be very helpful for those of you using SQL7 linked server to Oracle 7.3.4 Database. After much research and no answers when opening a case with Microsoft I finally figured out how to delete using Openquery. There are a few missing pieces of information that would of been a great help in BOL. The first is, the Microsoft OLE DB for Oracle is not the correct choice for the data provier as one might think. The correct choice is the Oracle Provider for OLE DB. The next important thing is that the Oracle table you are querying MUST have a unique index on at least one column not necessarily the column in your WHERE clause. Thirdly, you get much better performance and use of indexes if you put the WHERE clause inside the OPENQUERY statement. Here is the syntax that I found to work in my application:
In one of my applications running on a MSSQL database, I need to issue a select call to an Oracle database to pull information into my application.
To accomplish this,
1. the ORacle Admin has created a view of the Oracle database for me. 2. I have installed the Oracle client on the SQl server box. 3. A friend has told me that one way to accomplish this is create a linked server from SQL to use OLE/DB for Oracle to connect to the Oracle database 4. So I create the linked server successfully; create the server login sp_addlinkedsrvlogin successfully 5. When I go to query the database, I get the error below:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 (or greater) client software installation.
You will be unable to use this provider until these components have been installed.]
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 am attempting to add a linked server to ORACLE from SQL Server. I am able to get the linked server to work using the MS OLE DB Provider for Oracle , however I would rather use the Oracle Provider for OLE DB. When I set the linked server to use the Oracle provider I get the following error when issueing a query.
Could not execute query against OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle'. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' ICommandText::Execute returned 0x80040155].
The query I attempt is
select * from openquery(oracle_test,'select count(*) from employee')emp
