It is not that you did anything wrong. You are however doing yourself an injustice by creating all these threads and not providing all the details. The people around who post on these forums do so because they enjoy helping others. We don't get paid for this. When we try to help people and the target keeps moving it is very frustrating. Among all of the threads you have started on this topic I am convinced you should pick one of them and post ALL of the details about what you are trying to do. Post all the table structures, create some sample data, explain your ETL process in detail. When we get disconnected details like in this thread we don't come up with a solution that will work because we don't know the whole story.

I hope you will understand why it is so important to post all the details and I truly hope you are able to figure out how to solve your issue.

here's a quick and dirty example, of how to get rows from the Oracle Linked server without copying the whole table, and then filtering, like a typical linked server query would do.

see how in this case, i'm using the EXECUTE (...)AT syntax, which performs teh work on the linked server and returns the results.

since that format cannot accept variables or concatenated strings, I have to use dynamic SQL to get the results, and i'm inserting those results into a temp table:

--Get the highest value modified to date.

DECLARE @HighestValue datetime;

SELECT @HighestValue = ModifiedDate From MySQLServer.dbo.MyTable

Create Table #Results(id int identity(1,1) not null primary key, ColumnList int,SomeOtherData varchar(30) );

DECLARE @cmd varchar(2000);

SET @cmd = 'EXECUTE ( ''SELECT ColumnList,SomeOtherData From MyTableInOracle WHERE LastModifiedDate > TO_DATE(''' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,@HighestValue,112) + ''',''YYYYMMDD'') '' ) AT MyOracleLinkedServer ';

INSERT INTO #Results(ColumnList,SomeOtherData)

EXEC(@cmd);

there's a LOT of details missing here: what are the PK's of the data, the actual columns, the linked server name, etc.

lots of details to flesh out this example with.

once you have that much shorter list of changes, you should be able to merge/insert/update the data on the SQL server side a lot easier.
