In all replications, the source database must be an Oracle database. Therefore, two-way replication with MS SQL Server is not supported. ODBC connection is used to connect to MS SQL, thus DSN (Data Source Name) with the same name must be setup by the system administrator on both source and target systems.
If both source and target databases are running on Windows platform then DSN (Data Source Name) with the same name are required on source and target machine. But if source is Linux then DNS is only required on Windows target machine.
- Navicat Premium can be used to load data from oracle to SQL Server in order to sync source and target environment before initiating replication.
- Currently, no DDL replication is supported for Oracle to SQL Server Replication.
- Timestamp datatype of Oracle is not supported for Oracle to SQL Server Replication.
