I was thinking that same thing as the easiest way as I know transparent isn't cheap and there probably isn't an easy way.
I was going to use Perl/Java to make something if there isn't any other way like the OPENQUERY option in SQL Server to look at oracle tables.

This is trivial with Perl, DBD::Oracle and DBD::ODBC. Whether it is useful to you depends on a number of things. * can you use an Oracl copy of the SQL server data? * does the data always need to be fresh? * how fresh? * how big is it? Since it's temporary, this may work for you.

I am looking at trying to create access from an Oracle DB to SQL Server data until we convert the SQL server database. Anyone have any ideas on this, I searched technet (ms/oracle) and metalink, as well as some search engines without luck.
