Title: Share Data between PostgreSQL and Oracle

Dave,

 

    Look up Heterogenous services on Metalink.  At the moment I can't remember the document id.  Then all you need do is obtain the HP ODBC dirver for PostGreSQL from their web site.  Have set it up about 8 months ago.  It works very well.

Subject: Share Data between PostgreSQL and Oracle

Anyone have experience doing this? I would like to hear your tips and experiences.
Here's our situation. We have an Oracle DB on Sun Solaris 8 and a PostgreSQL DB on Linux (RH 7.3) that we need to share data between, specifically from PostgreSQL to Oracle. I want to experiment with Oracle's Generic Connectivity via ODBC connection. The advantage here seems to be DB-to-DB connection, ability to use Oracle SQL and tools, etc. Limitations might be network performance.

An alternative is to produce flat files from PostgreSQL, FTP them to Oracle server, and SQL*Load them into Oracle. Not a real-time solution, but load performance is usually very good with SQL*Loader.

Thoughts?
