Re: Problems with ORACLE

Using Oracle 8.1.6 I was never successful in accessing a PostgreSQL database.
Examination of the log files revealed that the Oracle ODBC driver uses double
quotes "" inconsistently creating and then calling a table alias. There was no
way around this, so it was impossible to access the PostgreSQL database from
Oracle. I posted these findings on the OTN Heterogeneous Services discussion
group and was told I needed to contact Oracle support. I moved on to other
projects and I have not tried again with later versions of the Oracle ODBC
driver. If you find a way to get Oracle to talk to PostgreSQL please let me
know.

Subject: [ODBC] Problems with ORACLE

Hi, when I use the psqlODBC with MS-Access I´ve got not problems but when I try
to use it with Oracle the next message appears:

SELECT * FROM "ORACLE"."TABLITA"@POSGRES

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this

message:

[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]Record &SQLREC has no fields. Loading failed

ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from POSGRES

Altougth I´ve got already fields in the tables, I´ve tried with differnt kind of
datatypes varchar char int numeric....but the problem persist

Any Idea???

Thanks in advance
