RE: Oracle to SQL Server

    There are two ways to do this, the expensive way(maybe) and the cheap way(maybe).  

    Method 1 would be to acquire a copy of the Transparent Gateway to SQL*Server from Oracle. It installs on the sql server box and then acts like a remote database. Very easy, but potentially expensive as we're talking about software form Oracle, although some bird recently told me that Oracle is "giving" this software away. If you can believe that!!  

    Method 2 is to configure Heterogeneous services, basically ODBC, between Oracle and Sql*Server. If your running Oracle in Windoze that might be easy, but if your on Unix, well lots of luck as I have not managed to get it working yet (which is where the expense is, namely your time chasing it).

Subject: Oracle to SQL Server

Hello all,

   A manager just asked me to make a connection from oracle to sql server and wants a view created from sql server data. I've gone the other way but never from oracle to sql server. I did a quick google and some things didn't seem clear. Can anybody point me in the right direction?    

ciao,

Brian
