I may get slammed for this, but as a DBA in both platforms and utilizing both
products in the past, I have to ask- Is there anyway you can simply utilize
the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle, adding the Oracle database server as
a linked server on the SQL Server side and query from there?
I find this to be more stable and require less DBA upkeep....

We have some MS Sql databases and need to run some queries from Oracle. Our
Oracle database is at 9.2.0.8 version running on Solaris. According to Oracle
we need to set up a Database Gateway for ODBC either on a Windows platform,
Linux or Solaris.
Our MS Sql server is 64 bit, and apparently DG4ODBC is only certified for 32
bit on Windows and Linux. If on Solaris a third party like the ODBC driver from
Data Direct Technologies is needed, and the 9i database needs to be patched.
After installing DG4ODBC a listener and tnsnames.ora need to be configured.
Then a database link needs to be created on Oracle.
The 9i database has something called hsodbc but Oracle says that is not
certified anymore.
Has someone in the list done something like this?
Thank you
Ana
