I had set up the feature on 8.1.7 to allow accessing SQL Server data from
Oracle running on AIX.  You have to obtain, that is, buy a third party
supplied ODBC driver on all platforms except Windows where one is provided.
Data Direct was the vendor I tested with.  We successfully performed simple
select, insert, and updates before the developers decided that wanted to use
a Java program.  The Data Direct driver did not require an agent to be
running on the Windows platform.

Read the metalink documents on setting this up carefully.

Dear List Members!

A collegue of mine not having access to this list=20
needs to exchange data between an Oracle 9 and a Microsoft SQL-Server =
database.=20
As far as I know he needs only to access SQL-Server data from Oracle.
He would like to know about the experiences people made using
Oracle heterogeneous services for that purpose.

I would be thankful if anyone liked to share his/her experiences,
and knowledge about reliability, performance,pitfalls and other =
"special"=20
features in a production environment.

Thanks in advance
