  Is it possible? We're running SQL 2000, and 2005 soon.

  Thanks

  Haven't tried it in a view before... you must either create a Linked Server or use OPENROWSET or OPENDATASOURCE.

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  First create a linked server to Oracle server. Then select *

  into MyTableName

  from openquery(YourLinkedServerName, 'place query text here') FYI Oracle does not seem to understand " quotes so I always use ''two single ticks.

  Hi,

  You can achieve this by having linked server in SQL Server.
