Please note: HSODBC on Linux in 9i is not supported (or didn't use to
be).
I successfully got it setup though to talk to MS SqlServer 2000 server.
Unless something has changed, you need to install a version of Oracle
10g on Linux to get the HSODBC libraries that work for Linux and run the
listener from 10.x software instead of the 9.x version.
(10g Listener handles 9i service registration cleanly so there is no
issues there)
I think I used an open source ODBC driver for Linux (FreeTDS or
something?). I can't remember for sure as its been a couple of years.
Might have been Openlink's software.
Here's the note you want:

to get this to work on 9i for Linux)

Subject: Heterogeneous Services
Hi all -
I am in the "conception" stage of setting up Heterogeneous Services (HS)
from a 9.2.0.8 Linux database to a MSSQL 2000 (v 8.00.2039) database. I
need to pull data from MSSQL into Oracle. I've been OTN'ing, RTFM'ing,
metalink'ing and google'ing but am still fuzzy about exactly what I need
to do. Figure 7-1 in
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96544/gencon.ht
m#1656 is the closest I can find to what I am trying to accomplish.
This also seems close to what I am trying to do:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_heterogeneous_database_connections_sql_serve
r.htm. The query will initiate from the Oracle side.
A few questions:
1. Do I need to install/run an Oracle listener on the MSSQL box?
2. Do I need to get a 3rd party ODBC driver for my Oracle/Linux server?
If so, any vendor/freeware/shareware recommendations are appreciated.
I've been poking around the DataDirect.com site so far.
3. I see many references to the hsodbc "program". Is this really a
program/executable or just the way to tell the listener to use the HS
that are configured in the Oracle database?
4. Last, any pointers/links to docs are appreciated.
Thanks,
-joe
