I have a feeling this is fairly straightforward, but for some reason am having a hard time finding something clear cut regarding my situation. I have SQL server 2008 developer installed on my machine with several linked servers going out to DB2, other SQL, etc, but am now trying to get out an Oracle database that is new to me. I need to have the Oracle driver available in my list of providers for linked servers, but it isn't there. I can connect using SQL plus and creating and ODBC, but unable to use the driver in SQL server where I really need it. Is there an installer that I need or something that I need to do to get it to show up there? Again, I think it is probably pretty straightforward, but just cant find it in all of my searching. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, the Oracle database is a bit older, 9.02 so I have those specific drivers installed on my machine.
Thanksin advance!
