Database link to a SQL Server possible?

I need to have a routine to transfer records from a DB that is a SQL Server to our Oracle DB. I've done this before with databases that were both Oracle DBs using a database link. I wanted to know if it was possible to do this ( a database link) with an Oracle & SQL Server DB.

And if so, to have a trigger on the SQL Server database call an Oracle stored procedure, and vice versa. Or if it's simply more practical to have an actual application development tool (we use Powerbuilder) to connect to both databases and do the work, and forget the whole database link idea between oracle & SQL server. Any thoughts?
