ODBC connection from oracle db in UNIX to MS SQL Server db
Dear all,
I need to setup db link for odbc connection from Oracle in HP-Unix to MS SQL Server. Can anyone provide me steps on how to set up? I understand that this may require ODBC driver, but I am not sure what kind of driver I will need?

You have two options to do this:
1. ODBC driver installed in HP-unix and using a dblink - requires a private vendor license for the driver.
2. Transparent gateway which is installed in windows(SQL server) and using a dblink - which requires license from Oracle.
1 Push data to SQL Server
2 Pull data from SQL Server
3 Use SQL Server as a lookup resource
4 Insert/delete/update on SQL Server database in a transactional way
For starters you might want to check Metalink Doc #356177.1 "How to Install the Transparent Gateway for MS-SQL Server on UNIX" but, if you just want to move data around more easy-to-set/easy-to-use options are available.

According to my knowledge, all ODBC drivers for UNIX are commercial
TG is quite expensive as well
I had similar problem and I was thinking if I can install Oracle XE on windows and use ODBC to pull data to XE and then to pull them from XE on windows to EE on HP, but never did that. Used flat files at the end of the day
