RE: Oracle Heterogenous Services
Yes its true, I've got it working to a sqlserver d/b.The performance I can't vouch for. IIRC you have to install ODBC drivers (not so easy on solaris, Merant do one, but its not free),do some mucking about with the listener and then create a database link to the ODBC d/b.

RE: Oracle Heterogenous Services
The advantage is that you're not loading data from an ODBC source into the database. You are viewing the source over a DB Link and so see a real time view of it. If you have production data in Excel spreadsheets or Access databases then it can be very convenient to have a current view of that from Oracle. (This is not an invitation to flame me about the prudence of keeping production data in Access or Excel. If it were my choice, it wouldn't be there).

I think it is different and that is what I am trying to get to the bottom of Lee -Original Message- Sent: 31 July 2002 15:14 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L And is it needed?. I am sure I have set up odbc connections between Oracle 8i databases on Unix and Access/Excel and I have never heard of Heterogeneous Services before -Original Message- Sent: 31 July 2002 13:24 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I did a bit of research on Heterogeneous Services, apparently it lets you create ODBC connections between Oracle on UNIX and Windows apps. Can this be true? Does it actually work? What is the performance like? Regards, Patrice Boivin Systems Analyst (Oracle Certified DBA) . -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 6:48 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi, Oracle 8.1.7.3 Tru64 5.1 MSAccess 2000 Preparing to be shot down in flames but I have been looking through some documentation and also some White Papers but for some reason I just don't get it. I need to see Access tables from an Oracle DB. The paper I am reading (from Metalink) states that I should be able to do this via Heterogeneous Services and ODBC agent but I cannot see how it all hangs together. Has anyone done this and if so could you point me in the right direction please. I don't need an idiots guide (or maybe I do) but a gentle nudge in the right direction should suffice.
