Getting Error while creating Linkedserver to ORACLE

  • Getting Error while creating Linkedserver to ORACLE.

    OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "LINKORATEST" returned message "ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)

    can you help me how to create the linked server to oracle.

  • Does the OCI connect outside SQLServer? You can check that with TNSPING.

    If the connection is not successful in Oracle Client, it can't succeed in SQLServer.

    It's not a common error in Oracle. It's adaptor issue. For more, check Oracle Forums.

    ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable

    Cause: On some platforms (such as OS/2) protocol adapters are loaded at run-time. If the shared library (or DLL) for the protocol adapter is missing or one of its supporting libraries is missing then this error is returned.

    Action: For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. The trace file will include the name of the shared library (or DLL) that could not be loaded.
