I've gone the other direction, and I wound up using an ETL tool (just copy the data from one db to the other). Linking Oracle to MySQL probably consists of using gateways. HTH, T. J.

Hi all, Does anyone have any experience with Oracle, MySQL, and configuring ODBC? The ultimate goal is to create a database link in an Oracle (11.2.0) database, that can select from a MySQL (5.6) database. Documentation seems to be a bit thin in this area. Does anyone have any experience doing this type of configuration? Any pointers to examples, blogs, or tutorials would be much appreciated. Thanks, -Mark
