Yup, that does work for Windows, but a Unix based system is a whole
other matter.  You need to install UnixOdbc and then the specific driver
and then home the darn thing works.  I never made it.

I can't speak to Oracle on anything but Windows, but I've used this
(http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:440
6709207206#18830681837358) before to connect to a DB2 instance.

            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).

        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,
