Dennis, What you probably want is to use Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL Server. This allows you to create a database link in your Oracle database that connects to SQL Server, and you can use INSERT INTO...SELECT FROM...@DBLINK syntax to pull data. Keep in mind that SQL Server table names are usually lowercase, so you'll have to double-quote them in your SQL.

Because of this, we now have a need to transfer table data between them. This would be on a continuing basis, probably on off-peak hours. Our preference would be to have the Oracle side drive the process, that is, Oracle pulling table data from SQL Server. Is anyone currently doing this, and would pass on information on how it is done? We know about Migration Workbench, but that is more for a one-time conversion than a scheduled nightly routine. Any information or tips would be appreciated.
