Connection Oracle - Sybase

[Gianfranco Poli]

I need to insert row in a sybase's table from Oracle.
Sybase is on a Unix machie and Oracle is on a Win2000Server o the same
network.
I tried with Transparent gateway but nothig, I have problem to
configurate o ORACLE.

I installed o win2000 the ODBC client for Sybase and all work but
don't in ORACLE (I tried to use transparent gateway with dblink).

There is some one that had tried ok with these situation?

What have you tried? What error do you get?

IIRC, you need to do the following.

Install transparent gateway on the Sybase machine so that you have an
oracle service running on that machine.

Configure TNSNAMES.ORA on the Oracle machine to point at the oracle
service.

Create the database link to point at the service defined in tnsnames.ora

You also need to note that Sybase is case sensitive and Oracle folds
everything to upper case. If you Sybase table name is _myTable_, then
you need to use "myTable" in you insert statement.

Transparent Gateway is rather old. Its now called Heterogeneous Services
and may well have changed a lot.

You should looki into setting up CIS.

You have cross-posted this to comp.databases.oracle. This is a dead
group. You should use one of c.d.o.server, c.d.o.tools or c.d.o.misc
