Anybody have success with getting ODBC driver for SQL Server installed on
Oracle Linux 7 and getting a database link to work from 12.2
When I run a select over the db link I get this error.
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this
message:
ORA-02063: preceding line from TESTMSSQL
I didn't try the easysoft driver cause didn't want to have to buy a driver
for this. But if it is needed I will explore that option.
I installed unixODBC 2.3.6 from http://www.unixodbc.org
# remove any existing unixODBC drivers - be very careful with 'sudo rm'!
sudo rm /usr/lib64/libodbc*
# install the unixODBC driver
# note, adding "--enable-stats=no" here is not specified by Microsoft
export CPPFLAGS="-DSIZEOF_LONG_INT=8"
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc
--enable-gui=no --enable-drivers=no --enable-iconv
--with-iconv-char-enc=UTF8 --with-iconv-ucode-enc=UTF16LE --enable-stats=no
1> configure_std.log 2> configure_err.log
make 1> make_std.log 2> make_err.log
sudo make install 1> makeinstall_std.log 2> makeinstall_err.log
# the Microsoft driver expects unixODBC to be here /usr/lib64/libodbc.so.1,
# so add soft links to the '.so.2' files
cd /usr/lib64
sudo ln -s libodbccr.so.2 libodbccr.so.1
sudo ln -s libodbcinst.so.2 libodbcinst.so.1
sudo ln -s libodbc.so.2 libodbc.so.1
Then I downloaded Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 from
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017
sudo su
#Download appropriate package for the OS version
#Choose only ONE of the following, corresponding to your OS version
#RedHat Enterprise Server 7
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/7/prod.repo ;>
/etc/yum.repos.d/mssql-release.repo
exit
sudo yum remove unixODBC-utf16 unixODBC-utf16-devel #to avoid conflicts
sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y yum install msodbcsql17
My /etc/odbc.ini looks like this
[testmssql]
Driver=ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
Server=server_foo
User=test
Password=password
Database=mydb
Port=1433
/etc/odbcinst.ini
[ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]
Description=Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
Driver=/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/libmsodbcsql-17.2.so.0.1
UsageCount=1
From Oracle I create a database link as
create database link testmssql connect to test identified by password using
‘testmssql’;
I am very confused how to troubleshoot this.
Any help or if you have your own notes would be helpful.
