• Unlike char in ORACLE and SQL SERVER

  Hello gurus,
  
  I tried to querying data from Oracle to sql server through linked server, but get me an error! set length corresponds to the error! I know there are CHAR data type in sql server and thus as in oracle.
  
  But when I use the CAST FUNCTION with CHAR it works fine
  

  -- error code 
  
    select * from openquery( linkoracle11 
             select  col1, col2, col3 from test_table )
  
  
  -- say col3 char(1)   -- data type

  ---
  
  

  -- working code 
  
    select * from openquery ( linkoracle 11 
             select  col1, col2, cast (col3 as char(1)) as col_3 from test_table )

  I was wondering, what is the difference between oracle and sql server for the CHAR data type?
  
  The gurus of the idea?
  
  Thank you

  What is the error you get?

  What is the characters in database and NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS game on your Oracle system?

  SELECT *
    FROM v$nls_parameters
   WHERE name LIKE '%CHARACTERSET';
  
  SQL> SHOW PARAMETER nls_length_semantics;
  

  What is the character set of data in SQL Server?

  If your local database is a variable length character set (like UTF8) and NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS is set to (default) BYTES, a char (1) allocate 1 byte of storage which may not be sufficient for a single character. The receiving application may need to allocate a buffer with 3 times more many bytes as there are characters in order to ensure that it will be able to process the result. I don't know why add an implicit CAST that would change, but since we are several levels removed from the code to figure out how large a buffer to allocate, it is not very surprising.

• Links of DB Oracle to Sql server

  Hi all
  
  I intend to create DB connection from oracle to sql server 2005.
  
  Please provide the doc to create db connection from oracle to sql server 2005 and also made me know is their any freeware to do the same thing.
  
  Concerning

  It would be useful you might mention what platform works on your Oracle database and word size of the OS (32/64 bit).

  The free solution would be to use the database for ODBC (= Dg4ODBC) gateway and install it on a platform of MS Windows or Linux 64-bit with regard to these 2 platforms that Microsoft offers a free ODBC driver. On all other platforms, you can buy an ODBC drivers appropriate from a 3rd party such as DataDirect provider. I know, some people here on the Forum use FreeTDS but this driver is not a good choice when using it in production.

  Beginning with the documents where you can create a link to database free of charge:

  Please take a look at documents available on the My Oracle Support Portal:
  How to set up DG4ODBC (gateway for ODBC Oracle database) on 64-bit Windows operating systems to connect to Oracle databases Post Install [1266572.1 ID]
  How to set up DG4ODBC (gateway for ODBC Oracle database) on 32-bit Windows to connect to Oracle databases Post Install [466225.1 ID]
  and
  How to set up DG4ODBC (gateway for ODBC Oracle database) on 32-bit Windows to connect to Oracle databases Post Install [466225.1 ID]

  As mentioned for other platforms, you can usually buy a 3rd party ODBC driver and according to licensing costs this 3rd ODBC driver may be more expensive the using commercial product Oracle, MS SQl Server database gateway. It is designed for MS SQl Server connections and much more powerful then DG4ODBC - for example it allows you to call SQL Server stored procedures remotely or to participate in the distributed transaction.
  Documents on the DG4MSQl are also on the support of Oracle Portal.

• Deployment of SQL Server 2008 Enterprise (64-bit)

  Is it possible to deploy SQL Server 2008 Enterprise (64-bit) on the virtual machine (using vmware workstation 8) running windows server 2003 as a guest operating system?

  Since then, Miicrosoft says "SQL Server 2008 is supported in environments of VMS running on the Hyper-V role in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise and data center."

  If necessary please refer to the following link http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506 (SQL.100) .aspx

  Grateful for your help!

  For the test, you can use the Windows 2008 R2 trial version. Tracks for 180 days. I don't remember that you actually have a Windows 2003 64 biit as a trial version. So I am doing all my tests with the final tests of Microsoft (Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 and the application server).

• Number of databases such as Oracle and SQL Server in the same application ADF

  Hello
  
  In my application, I need to use two different databases such as Oracle and SQL Server. There are screens that I need to develop in the ADF where I need to involve fields of the tables in these two different databases. I just want to know - is it possible to do so in application of the ADF?
  
  Or to create a sort of link between these databases in the backend? Then create a view object involving some distributed SQL queries. What can I do with this type of request than anything? I mean, can I use the two insert or update operation using this VO?
  
  Or y at - it another way to do this?
  
  Please help, help here would be really appreciated. I've been stuck with this problem for a while now. I did search our forums for the same problem, but was not able to find a reliable solution.
  
  Thank you
  Vijay

  It's still not clear to me if you need two db tables in a query, or a transaction.
  If this is the case, your best option (to my knowledge) is to use a db link. in this way, you only need to access (for example the oracle db) and can access the objects from the other data from the oracle database.
  I don't understand

  (3) a model project with a meeting of the two datasource. I selected a data source and created OT and VO. When I have selected a different data source and select tables to create VO and EO and finished but these EO and VO is displayed in project. >

  (2) If you need to link data from these two dbs you can not use this approach (see the note at the top of the post)

• Sort of the differences between Oracle and SQL Server

  Hi all
  
  This question is linked by both Oracle and SQL Server
  
  I have a requirement where I want to compare 2 tables line by line. A table is in Oracle and other table in SQL Server
  
  And suppose that both tables do not have a primary key. Now when I sort records by using the order by clause for a column, then-
  
  Rows with null values in that column of Oracle are placed in the background.
  When that rows with null values in the same column in SQL Server are placed right at the top.
  
  How can I make one of them to behave like any other.
  
  My only goal is to have same order of lines in Oracle and SQL Server tables so that I can compare line by line.

  YADQ: Yet another Doc Question

  Can you please avoid them?

  Take your SQL reference manual, search for the ORDER BY clause and notice that it has
  NULL FIRST or LAST values NULL values.

• Data migration from Oracle to SQL Server

  Hello
  
  I have the Oracle database in one or several table, I also blob data, i.e. images are stored, now I want to move that data to the sql server database, which is the best way to do this?
  
  I would like to test for a migration of the table that contains the image data in the Oracle database and invade the SQL Server table.
  
  How to test for an Oracle table data to SQL Server migration?
  
  But the first thing I want to confirm is that if the Image from Oracle DB to SQL Server DB data are possible? is there something must be supported during the migration?
  
  Thanks in advance.
  
  Kind regards

  I think that it is supported. The equivalent data type in sql server is IMAGE/varbinary (max)

  See the bottom of the article for the mapping of data types:

  Here is the configuration file for the gateway settings:

  I think that the definition of the parameter HS_LANGUAGE must correct the error, but I want to know what should be the value of this setting?

  HS_LANGUAGE must be set to a character set used by the foreign database

  Try: HS_LANGUAGE = american_america. WE8MSWIN1252
  Also specify HS_NLS_NCHAR = UCS2 nvarchars of SQl Server are stored in the UCS2 character set

  Hello

  The error you are getting is because your HS_FDS_CONNECT_STRING is not correct:
  Don't forget you can ping the SQL SERVER name of the Oracle server command, or use the TCP/IP address
  Check the port, it is not necessary 1433.
  You can use the name of the instance instead of the port:
  HS_FDS_CONNECT_STRING = server_ip_address/instance_name/database_name

  Be careful, in the LISTENER. ORA, you must specify the gateway machine and not the SQL SERVER machine:
  SqlServer =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
  (DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = Gateway_Machine)(PORT = 1522))<====you must="" specify="" oracle="" gateway="">
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = CIP)(KEY = PNPKEY))
  )
  )

  Ditto for TNSNAMES. ORA:
  SQLSERVER =

  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = Gateway_Machine)(PORT = 1522))
  (CONNECT_DATA =
  (SID = sqlserver)

• Connection from Oracle to Sql Server (64-bit on Windows 2003)

  Hello
  
  I want to install heterogeneous connectivity between our Oracle 10 g version 10.0.2.0.1 (on 64-bit Windows 2003) to a SQL Server on another computer on the network. I found that HSODBC is removed, and that this is is not supported on 64-bit Windows systems. So, I couldn't make it work obviously.
  
  It is even possible to set up a heterogeneous connectivity in our situation (using DG4ODBC or something?)
  If so, could someone point me in the right direction on where to start?
  
  Thank you!
  
  (I'm not a dba, previous attempt using hsodbc cost me two weeks before finding out that it doesn't even work...)
  
  Edit:
  Oh, and it is possible to display the Metalink notes as (Metalink Note: 361676.1, is generic connectivity available on The LINUX or Windows 64 - bit Platforms?) without a support contract? Or only customers with a support contract have the right to know that some features are not available?

  According to your last update, your actions are:
  1.) upgrade Oracle on SERVER1 to 10.2.0.4.0-online Yes
  2.) DG4ODBC is not certified to run on SERVER1, then I should install on SERVER2 tell you? That there is no installed Oracle... ?
  Yes, install it on the server of SQL Server 32-bit.

  The gateway comes with a complete Oracle SQL * Net listener. Just so install the 32-bit to SQL Server and configure the Oracle listener as well as the bridge and the ODBC driver.
  Now on the Oracle database server adds a TNSNAMES file. Entry of ORA that points the listener to the Oracle of the gateway on the SQL Server computer. The link of database within the 10 g, which oracle databased then connects using tnsnames.ora alias in the SQL Server computer that has an active Oracle listener that generates connection DG4ODBC. DG4ODBC executable load DG4ODBC configuration file and connects to SQL Server you have configured.

  The Oracle gateway are very flexible. You don't need to install them on the Oracle database machine. They can be installed independently; even on a 3rd machine if you do not want to touch the SQL Server computer. In this case, the scenario is similar as described above; only difference now is the driver ODBC to connect to a SQL Server computer on a remote host.
