Hi

I have several tables (in SQL Server) which I need to import in our Oracle db. I do this

- query SQL Server with JDBC/Java and write file to *.csv
- use SQL*Loader to import *.csv into Oracle table
- automate step 1 and 2 with shell script / crontab.

Box is Solaris 10

Now my question to experienced DB pros: is there a better solution (without modifying SQL Server)?

For example Oracle DB links are awesome; you can query live data.

I did set up Heterogenous Services links via ODBC from Linux and AIX Oracle servers to SQL Server using unixODBC.

The "how to create a database link that accesses a ODBC data source" is described here.

When you are on windows there are of course SQL Server ODBC drivers, if you are on *nix you can use the FreeTDS ODBC driver.

It is 'a little buggy' when dealing with specific data types and/or mixed case table names when you run oracle queries directly, when you run into that problems you can probably switch to running the query using DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH (more compact example)

Another Option could be to connect to BOTH Oracle and SQLServer from the Java file, and do the processing in there. (I did that for a "comparison" program once, where pulling hashes of values from both Oracle and SQL Server and then comparing them in memory was WAY faster than doing anything with DB Links.)
