Steps to connect to Oracle & Postgres

  • Hello All,

    I am new to SQL server. We have a requirement to read Oracle and Postgres data from SQL server 2000. I am not sure about the steps to follow in creating the DBLink in SQL Server to read the data from external RDBMS. Pls help.

    If it is a frequently asked query please point me to the right link.

    Thanks

  • Lookup linked servers in Books Online. What you are going to need to do is install the ODBC drivers for Oracle and Postgres on the server, then setup your linked servers. Once setup, you can then use four-part naming to access data on the linked server.
