  • What version of Oracle? And what are you trying to do, usually you use a link server if this needs to be live pulls, or better use DTS to import periodically.

  • The version is Oracle v8.1.5, what i am trying to do is query the database for specific information and send it out again. I am not putting this into another database it will not be saved, just pulled in then pushed right back out. What is the best way to accomplish this?

    And is there a way to do this in a store procedure?

  • If you will be doing this often then setup a Linked Server (many threads on that here but I can help if no one does by Monday, sorry not at home or near a server), then look at openquery in BOL. If not often you may still want to use a linked server or look and querystring in BOL. But these should help you get what you are after.
