    Hi.

    I've not tried it, but I can't really see the point of this method when there are several more direct routes.

    1) Migration workbench.
    2) Transparent gateway to pull the data through.
    3) Generic connectivity: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/...ectivity9i.php
    4) The DTS services in SQL Server.

    I can't see the point in writing a program in any language then these tools are already available.

    You did mean SQL Server (mssql) not mySQL didn't you?

    Cheers

    Hi,

    I like #3 but my oracle server and MS sql server are on separate
    servers and its requirement is both on local?

    I don't believe so. The method in my example uses a datasource which can point to a remote machine.

    The DTS stuff is a standard option in SQL Server, I think, that allows you to transfer data to any ODBC compliant database. The datatypes sometimes end up a bit funky, but it works.

    Cheers

    Thanks again,

    What services should i check for windows or unix to ensure that the HS is
    running good. Does the 10g client supports this feature too (if i only install it)?
