Hi friends,

I'm trying to create linked server from SQL Server 2005 SP3 on Windows 2003 64-bit to Oracle database 64-bit.

Steps are below:

Installed InstantClient Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) to C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1 folder on the SQL Server - database server.

Installed ODAC (11.2.0.2.1) ODAC112021Xcopy_x64 for Windows x64 by executing
install.bat all C:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1 odac

Checked the Allow inprocess of OraOLEDB.Oracle provider in SSMS.

Created ODBC connection to the Oracle database - ORADB. Connection successful via ODBC and sqlplus.

Executed sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'TEST_LINK', @srvproduct = 'Oracle', @provider = 'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @datasrc = 'ORADB'

I have executed sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'TEST_LINK', @useself = 'FALSE', @rmtuser = 'orauser', @rmtpassword = 'pwd'

The orauser is the oracle username and pwd is the password for the oracle user orauser.

When I click Test Connection for the linked server TEST_LINK in SSMS, it just hangs.. When I try to run a query
to ORADB , 'select * from TEST_LINK..ORAUSER.TABLE1 ' - it runs forever and eventually SSMS hangs.

Please help.. Thanks

Have a look at
Your way is much clearer than mine using the full oracleinstall.
