  • RE: Openquery: Problem with Oracle datatypes

    Long shot? Try this syntax on your openquery...

    select * from Openquery([MyOracleDatabase],'select DateCol, to_number(to_char(Col1)) "COL1",to_number(to_char(Col2)) "COL2" from myOracleTable)'

    Above mentioned syntax works fine when issuing the select statement directly to Oracle.
