Callling into an Oracle database

  • I have a major problem which I have been so far unable to resolve. I wish to be able to call a procedure in an Oracle database from SQL Server.

    I know I can set up Oracle as a remote server and query table in that database but I need to be able to call in with a set of parameters and get a response from the database. I have attempted to do this but it appears that it is not possible, even microsoft don't know how to do it.

    Does anyone know of a way of doing this even if it involves a third party product?

    Thanks

    Terry

  • We've addressed this same kind of problem in two different ways - both have been less than 100% satisfactory:

    1- Best way so far is to execute Java or C# executable from task scheduler - executable accesses Oracle database, executes the Oracle package with parameters and returns what we need

    2- SQL Server stored procedure can be written with parameters to execute SELECT queries to the Oracle database.  Need to use Oracle-compatible syntax but it does work.
