Lee,
   We do this all the time.  Check out www.unixodbc.org.  It's actually pretty 
easy to set up.

There is a free gateway product Database Gateway for ODBC that is OK for 
smallish amounts of data. For large amounts of data I'd probably either use 
SSIS on the SQL Server side, or if politics/business needs didn't allow this 
then I'd probably just write the data to a flat file and consume the flat files 
in parallel as an external table.

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone had experience of  the best (and cheapest) way to do 
this was ?

On Linux with Oracle 11gR2. SQL Server is 2008 I think (maybe 2005)

I know we can do it from the other side i.e push the data in from SQL Server 
but it would be preferable to have this is as part of our existing process so 
could be ran from within an Oracle package.

i.e does some stuff in a proc then starts sucking some data from the SQL Server 
DB.

I was hoping to avoid any expensive "Gateway" products ?

Cheers and TIA

Lee
