Hi All,

I have issue in the Oracle HS link. I have a requirement to read the SQL server and Postgresql DB's data from Oracle on a windows box.

I have succeeded in reading SQL server tables data from Oracle but for Postgresql it is giving some error. Any comments is appreciated.

FYI: Oracle and SQL server are on the same box but Postgres is in a different machine, but ODBC connection test for Postgres is successful. Not sure if I have missed out something.

Here are the details.

1. Installed Postgres ODBC drivers in the windows box and created a DSN (PS) by filling the required details and tested the connection. It works fine.

2. Created a file initPS.ora in $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent. #
# HS init parameters#
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = PS
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF

3. In listener.ora file
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora

LISTENERPS =
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=Vish)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=PNPKEY)))

SID_LIST_LISTENERPS=
(SID_LIST=
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=PS)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)
(PROGRAM=hsodbc)
)
)

4. In tnsnames.ora file
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
PS=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = Vish)
(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=PS))
(HS = OK))

5. Start the new Listener
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>lsnrctl start LISTENERPS

LOG:

7. Create a Database Link within Oracle Database
Create database link PS connect to "user_name" identified by "password" using 'PS';

8. Connecting the Postgres tables from Oracle.

Pls help
