linked server for oracle for a 64 bit windows 2003

  • Hello all,

    We arre planning to migrate sql server from a 32 bit to 64 bit.

    we need to create some linked servers from my sql 2005 64 bit windows 2003 server to some oracle server.

    Do we have oledb provider for oracle available to install in my windows 2003 64 bit system.

    If so can some one provide me the link.

    I not how do we create linked server for oracle servers.

    Please let me know asap.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Be careful with this- when we moved one of our SQL 2005 servers from 32 to 64 bit, we noticed that the Microsoft Oracle driver is not supported and you can't select it (it won't run in WoW either).

    It was suggested by Microsoft that we should start using the Oracle driver for development instead. This was around 3 years ago, so I can't remember all the details...

  • If oracle driver is not supported, how do you create a linked server from a sql 64 bit versions.

  • You need to use the Oracle driver (rather than msdaora- Microsoft's OLEDB provider)

  • Hi Striker Baba

    Download 64bit Oracle Provider for OLEDB from the following link.
