Intern at a company. Learning SSIS. When I am connecting a data source to CRM 4.0. Am I to create connections for both OLE DB and ODBC or just ODBC?
Take a look at: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crm/archive/2008/05/07/integrating-crm-using-sql-integration-services-ssis.aspx
To be able to make updates and create records you really need to use a web service as described in the blog above.
OLE DB Drivers would help you connect to the SQL Database that CRM 4.0 is using, but that would be no different than just connecting to a MS SQL Database. If you want to transfer data, manipulating the database directly is unsupported (and a bad idea).

I have two remote databases, Oracle 19c and SQL Server 19. In my redhat linux, I have to read SQL Server table and write it to Oracle.
I wrote a Python code to read data from SQL Server and insert it to Oracle database. But, I think it is so slow. Since, the table has about 16 million records.
I search a lot and see this post:

It said that Oracle Transparent Gateway makes it possible to run a procedure for migrating data from extra database to Oracle in little time.
I can access to Oracle database using terminal and don't have any graphical accesses.
Would you please guide me if Oracle Transparent Gateway is the best way to migrate data from SQL Server to Oracle database, how to install Oracle Transparent Gateway and use it? If not, what is the best way?
Any help is really appreciated.
One solution would be to work from SQL Developer.
You can download SQL Developer for free from https://www.oracle.com/tools/downloads/sqldev-downloads.html
SQL Developer provides a "migration workbench" that supports SQL Server.
The data migration can be done online or offline.
Online causes the table data to be moved by SQL Developer when you have completed the necessary information in the wizard; Offline causes SQL Developer to generate scripts after you have completed the necessary information in the wizard, and you must later run those scripts if you want to move the data. (Online moves are convenient for moving small data sets; offline moves are useful for moving large volumes of data.)
I'd be happy if someone could help me.
I need to get data from PL sql developer oracle and import of sql server, I want to do automatic synchronization.
now I am exporting an Excel file from PL sql developer oracle, and load the file into sql server
The tool specifically built for this is Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS). You can create a data flow with source component using Oracle Driver and destination using Sql Server. You can even add transforms between the two to handle formatting and other tasks.
Here is a link to a series of videos on the topic. There is plenty of non - video materials as well if you prefer.

I have created a linked server to an Interbase database with the OLE DB Provider from IBProvider.com. This worked really well, but apparently this IBProvider was only a test version which has expired. Instead of buying the full version I was wondering whether there is another way of fetching the data from that database or creating the linked server.
I know there is the OPENDATASOURCE() function allowing me to connect and query a remote data source.
But to use this function I need to enable DATA ACCESS on the server and I'm not sure what possible disadvantages this could have.
I could also use DTS and copy the tables to my SQL Server but I don't think this is best practise.
So, are there any other possibilites?
I did not found any solution to this so I bought the full version of this OLE DB Provider from IBProvider.com
I have an SQL Server database, and I need to push data into it through vbscript, as well as pull data into Excel. I have found multiple connection strings, but no repository for the benefits of performance and functionality comparing them. The driver options (Provider=) I have found so far are:
{SQL Server} (ODBC)
SQLOLEDB (newer than ODBC, but being deprecated?)
SQLOLEDB.1 (what Excel 2016 uses when clicking 'Get External Data', but not even mentioned on connectionstrings.com... I assume a newer version of the above, but still the deprecated technology?)
SQLNCLI11 (native client, OLE DB)
{SQL Server Native Client 11.0} (native client, ODBC)
Different things I read say that ODBC is better because it has been around longer. And that OLE DB has been around long enough to have the same advantages. And OLE DB was made to work with a certain company's applications. And ODBC was made by the same company. And OLE DB can connect to and from different kinds of applications better. And ODBC works better with databases. And Native is...Native, so must be better... because of the name?
I find multiple questions here on SO floating around with no or partial answers, or having multiple comments claiming the answers are out of date. So, as of now, what the specific differences between these different drivers? Do they have different performance in different circumstances? Do they have different features? Do I need to do profiling to determine the best performance and reliability for my particular use case, or is there a standard "best practice" recommended by Microsoft or some recognized expert? Or are they all basically doing the same thing and as long as it's installed on the target system it doesn't really matter?
ODBC-it is designed for connecting to relational databases.
However, OLE DB can access relational databases as well as nonrelational databases.
There is data in your mail servers, directory services, spreadsheets, and text files. OLE DB allows SQL Server to link to these nonrelational database systems. For instance, if you want to query, through SQL Server, the Active Directory on the domain controller, you couldn't do this with ODBC, because it's not a relational database. However, you could use an OLE DB provider to accomplish that.

in my development environment we support the application both on MSSQL Server as well as Oracle. The database schema of both of these RDBMS are same.
while development we found that the developer made a mistake and forgot to change the oracle database for the last 1 yr. therfore the oracle script is quite behind in term of schema from SQL Server schema script.
now the question is how i can compare the two RDBMS systems to find the difference and make the oracle script updated
If there are no track log from which it's possible to find and reproduce all changes applied to SQL Server since first detected inconsistency with Oracle version, or that changes was applied, but only partially, you really need to compare objects presented in both databases.
In this case setup a link between databases on any side and use system dictionary views to compare table structures and other objects to find differences and, possible, to generate script for Oracle scheme rollup.
If you want to act from MS SQL Server side:
Install and configure Oracle Instant Client
Install Oracle ODAC
Follow Microsoft recomendations (64-bit version)
Connect as any user with dba role (or use same Oracle schema where object resides) to Oracle from MS SQL database
If you want to act from Oracle Server side:
Install and configure Oracle Database Gateway for SQL Server.
Create database link to MS SQL Server.
After successful configuration you may join Information schema views on SQL Server side with Data dictionary views on Oracle side to find differences.
Of course there are many troubles at this way like different data types, but it gives a chance to automate at least part of work.
