WGB,
 
    Sorry, I've had the worst of luck with Heterogeneous Services and
have not had a need to connect to DB2.  Now someone told me the other
day that Oracle is "giving away" the gateways.  Seems odd and out of
character for them, but you may want to check it out.

Dick,

 

Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a similar issue.  I need to query
one table in a DB2 database but don't see a way to do this, other than
TG ($ issue).  Did you use HS to connect to DB2 from within Oracle?

You don't even need Transparent Gateway, you can just use Heterogenous
Services.  Here's a link on AskTom as well:

I used it to connect to DB2.

Also, you might look into DBMS_ERRLOG,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_errlog.
htm#BABGGCDF, as they will allow you to do set operations without having
to worry about potential errors (datatype conversion?).

It's fairly easy to roll your own PL/SQL solution, just a simple (hah!)
INSERT INTO SELECT * FROM remote_table@db_link;

Brian,

 

    Database links have been around for a long time and are reliable and
dependable for connecting to other Oracle databases.  As for Sql*Server
try to get your hands on a copy of Oracle's transparent gateway for
Sql*Server.  It's easy top set up and if memory works right not that
expensive.  Then just write your scripts & your off.

Hello all,

    I have systems that need to take data from other systems like most
of you probably have to do.  I need to take from sql server and other
oracle systems.  I can do it the old fashion way of creating flat files,
ftp and sqlload.  But with the tools of 10g is there a better way?
Something that is reliable, re-runnable, error trapping, etc.....

 

I tested some things like:

 

- DTS from sql server 2000 into a temp table and then ran scripts
against the temp table

- Created a link to oracle and did a select into

- flat file and sqlload

 

Anything else?  I just want to try and use something current and
reliable for moving and loading data.  I am open to all kinds of ideas.

 

ciao,

Brian
