A few years ago, I used an ODBC driver from DataDirect on multiple UNIX
platforms. At the time, it may have been OEM'ed through Merant, but I
don't know if that relationship is still in effect.  Performance was
fine (for an ETL application working on megabytes, not gigabytes, of
data) and installation was uneventful. =20

Subject: Accessing sql server tables from an Oracle instance

I was wondering if anyone has had this issue forced upon them.=20

An Oracle 9206 instance running on Solaris 8 accessing sql server 2000
tables (between 5-15).=20

What's the best way to accomplish this? I know of Oracle's Heterogeneous
services but that requires ODBC and I'm not aware of any Solaris ODBC
drivers. Has anyone used any third party ODBC drivers for Solaris
(pros/cons/how weel did they work)?=20

Is there any other method to accomplish this?=20

I'm considering installing a small oracle instance (with heterogeneous
services) on the sqlserver machine to act as a pass through to the sql
server tables.

All thoughts any opinions welcomed.

Thanks - Mike
