Linked server to oracle

  • Hi, I am trying to connect to Oracle thru SS2k. Oracle client is installed on the machine. tnsnames.ora file in \ora81\netowrk\admin directory has the entry for the oracle connectivity. I could do a tnsping from this machine, and also connect to SQL*PLUS. But, when I try to connect using enterprise manager/linked server, it freezes the system and I have to do a cold reboot. Any help greatly appreciated.

  • You can use either ODBC or Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle and specify the rest of the options. In the security TAB specify the login/Pwd for the connection. Don't forget to check the Server Options.

  • Actually, after the cold reboot, we were able to connect to oracle, and view thru EM.

    I am not sure, why everytime when we have problems, we have to reboot the windows server. Thanks for your help.
