Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Accessing sql server tables from an Oracle instance
A few years ago, I used an ODBC driver from DataDirect on multiple UNIX
platforms. At the time, it may have been OEM'ed through Merant, but I
don't know if that relationship is still in effect. Performance was
fine (for an ETL application working on megabytes, not gigabytes, of
data) and installation was uneventful. =20

Subject: Accessing sql server tables from an Oracle instance
I was wondering if anyone has had this issue forced upon them.=20
An Oracle 9206 instance running on Solaris 8 accessing sql server 2000 tables (between 5-15).=20
What's the best way to accomplish this? I know of Oracle's Heterogeneous services but that requires ODBC and I'm not aware of any Solaris ODBC drivers. Has anyone used any third party ODBC drivers for Solaris (pros/cons/how weel did they work)?=20
Is there any other method to accomplish this?=20
I'm considering installing a small oracle instance (with heterogeneous services) on the sqlserver machine to act as a pass through to the sql server tables.
All thoughts any opinions welcomed.
Thanks - Mike
