I've been tasked with setting up an Oracle linked server on a new SQL 2008 R2 install. I have installed the Oracle win64 11gr2 client on the windows 2008 r2 server. I then used Oracle Net Manager to create Service Naming for the connection I want. Do I then use that Service Naming for my linked server in SSMS? It looks like that is what was done on the old server I'm replacing but I didn't set that one up. Is this the most effecient way to do it?

I haven't worked with Oracle 11, but this is the procedure I've used with previous Oracle versions. The little I saw of Oracle 11 before I left my previous job tells me that it still works the same way.

Thanks for the links guys! Wow, what a zoo. I finally got it to work, but it was a chore. I had to install both the 32 and 64 bit clients. I then used Oracle Net Manager to create a service name in both the 32 and 64 bit clients. Then in SSMS, I created the linked server. I was then able to run openquery commands successfully.

I'm curious about why both the 32 and 64 bits clients had to be installed, after all I expect the connection to be established by a single client as opposed to a colaborative effort between two different ones.

I'm curious as well, LOL! I installed the 64 bit first, so maybe I only needed the 32 bit client for it to work. I do know for certain, it didn't work with just the 64 bit client. On the next server I set up, I will try the 32 bit client by itself first. I'll post back after I try that, but it might be awhile.

32-bit software (SSMS, BIDS, etc) requires 32-bit Oracle Client. 64-bit software (SQL Server Database Engine)requires 64-bit Oracle client.

I spent quite a bit of time on this. I found BOL to be less than useful (dated information). I never a number of posts that indicated installing both 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle clients
I am listing my steps in the hope that someone might get some benefit from them.
Both of my database servers (SQL 2008 R2 and Oracle 11.2.0.1) are Windows 2008 R2 64-bit.
1) From the Oracle website download section, I down loaded from under the oracle database section the win64_11gR2_client and installed it on the SQL Server database server. I rebooted here (might have needed to do so).
2) I used Oracle Net Manger to configure the client. When tested I successfully connected to the target Oracle server.
3) Added a tnsnames.ora file (point to the Oracle target) in C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1etwork\admin
4) Defined the Linked Server - I mapped specific logins; checked the Allow inprocess box under the OraOLEDB.Oracle Provider
Querying from the SQL Server server to the Oracle server was successful
