SQL Linked server on premise setup

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Tom_Slosse 1,430

Hey all,

 

I've been trying to look for a way to connect to a linked Oracle db in SQL but I can't find any way to connect with linked servers.

Why I don't wanna connect directly on the Oracle db is to prevent latceny and extra loadtimes on the db because the whole company need the db to work. So thats why we made a linked server.

 

Is there any solution to connect to a linked server in SQL?

 

Kind regards

 

 

Tom

    I don't think you'll get a great answer here for SQL related issues as PowerApps is a whole different product but the short answer is yes, if you have an Oracle account that can login to the DB you can use the SQL OLE DB Provider to create a linked server connection that should allow you to query right in SQL to the Oracle DB linked.

     

    I simply googled "sql linked oracle server" and found a few immediate step by step answers on how to setup the linked server but I would proceed with caution if you aren't familiar with how to make changes to your SQL configuration.

    Hey @JRaasumaa,

     

     

    Well I use a data gateway to PowerApps to connect to the linked server so, it is kinda a problem for PowerApps.

     

    Also what I didn't think of is that you can make connection to views now with the SQL connector so I solved my problem doing just that.

     

    Thanks for the information.

     

    Kind regards
