1058.0. "Oracle to SQL Server v6?" by ORAREP::OTOOA::oton07.oto.dec.com::Anderson (Silence) Wed May 15 1996 13:51

Hi,
We have a customer who is using an Oracle database under Digital Unix
for data entry, and a SQL Server database for analysis.

They manually (via flat files) transfer the Oracle data to the SQL
Server database.

Is this transfer process something that DBI could automate?

Thanks for any ideas,
Glenn

    Hi Glenn,
    
    It depends what you mean by automate.  You could use the Gateway to PC
    Data and the Gateway to Oracle and do a insert into (select from ...)
    kind of deal.  If this needs to be a UNIX solution then you can't use
    Data Distributor, which could automate the copy process (you schedule
    it, tell it what to do, and it runs).
    
    If you want to skip the flat file creation then the gateways will help.
    
    Hope this helps,
    
    Dan

Hi Dan,
I think the idea is to have the Unix/Oracle data changes reflected
in the NT/SQL Server database, either on a nightly basis, or perhaps
as soon as the changes are made, using a direct Oracle to SQL Server
transfer.

I have yet to talk to the customer directly, and will let you know as
soon as I understand the exact requirements.

Thanks
Glenn
