Walt- What version of Linux are you running?? As of RH 8.0 generic HS services were not supported by Oracle. In fact the hsodbc exe does NOT exist at $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
Using Perl or Python does not qualify for generic connectivity in my book.............. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 2:14 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have. It works. The steps: 1. Connect to Oracle. 2. Connect to SQL Server. 3. Transfer data, maybe using Perl. Or Python (this is for my buddy Steve Orr). 4. If it doesn't work, contact a call center in India. They know everything. Generic connectivity is, indeed, supported on Linux. I'll bet it's supported at Russel Athletic too. Now, here's the hard part. Try to get up the balls to try it yourself. I know it's hard, but I'll bet you can do it. If you can't, spend some time watching old reruns of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. --Walt (I've fallen down and can't get up) Weaver Bozeman, Montana On behalf of absolutely nobody but myself. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Shiva Maran > Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 11:39 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: Linking to a SQL Server > > > Hi All, > > Has any of you had an exprience in accessing SQL Server > data from Oracle database.
