You're in the
sql server connect
group:How do you connect to an Oracle Databse from MSSQL Enterprise Mana
sql server connect:
We are trying to connect to an Oracle Server via MSSQL Enterprise Manager so
that we are able to query both the Oracle & SQL Database, can anybody tell me if this is possible and how to do it?? I have followed the instructions in Q280106 and this does not appear to show the database in Enterprise Manager, but on the other hand it doesn't say that it should.
What we are trying to do is make the data in the Oracle Database available to
people using Enterprise Manager to create databases/queries and possibly Distributable Access Projects. [quoted text, click to view] "Sebastian Knoche" wrote:

Sorry I don't actually mean create Oracle databases, it's just so they can
see the data and create views within Enterprise manager to allow them to query both sets of data and again so that when they create Access Projects we don't need to install the Oracle Drivers on every client computer (as we find the microsoft ones don't work very well) [quoted text, click to view] "GKnight" wrote:

The article mentioned below talks about linking an Oracle server but It
doesn't tell you how to do it, can you give any advice? [quoted text, click to view] "Scott Morris" wrote:

Creating a linked server and registering a server in EM are two very
different things. I doubt that EM will work with any dbms other than MS sql server. At a minimum, you would need to register the oracle server just as you do a MS server. Creating a linked server is only useful in writing tsql queries using the 4part naming convention.

Not really. You would go through the process of registering the server just
like you did for the MS servers. I assume that it might first require establishing connectivity to the oracle first (whatever those requirements are). As I said, I seriously doubt that EM will work with a non-MS server.

Hello, what exactly do you want to do? It's possible to query data from almost every Datasource (even excelsheets), but you need to be a little bit more specific ;). Are you going to join data from Oracle and MSSQL? Regards,
What you are trying to do is doable. You would create a
linked server to the Oracle instance. You can then create views that reference tables in the Oracle database. To create a linked server, you need to first install the Oracle client on the server. Configure the server as you would any other Oracle client - make sure you have your connectivity, tnsnames setup and tested. After configuring the Oracle client on the server, you set up the linked server by following step 5 in the article you mentioned, http://support.microsoft.com/?id=280106 When you create a linked server, you can find it in Enterprise Manager under Security, Linked Servers. You will be able to see tables and views - just the object names - from Enterprise Manager. It's not a GUI where you "interact" with the data directly. To execute queries against the linked servers, you can use 4 part names or the Openquery function. You can find more information on this in books online under linked servers. -Sue On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 12:03:02 -0700, "GKnight" [quoted text, click to view] <GKnight@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:
