i have two questions.
1. i have linked sql server 7.0 with oracle server. the queries run very slow and also the stored procedures. i am trying to retrieve data from oracle and populate my tables in sql server.

how do i speed up the data extraction from oracle server. i don't have control on oracle server, as third party owns that server.
i tried to use pass through queries but having syntax problem. is there any article i can read apart from BOL?

2. Is it possible to run jobs on sql server which retrieve data from the oracle server? if possible, how can i do that.

I would really appreciate your help with thses questions.

thanks

Make sure your connection to Oracle is through OLE DB, not ODBC as that will be faster. You should also work on getting pass-through queries to work as that will be the fastest.

Yes, you can run jobs on sql that pull data from Oracle. Use OPENQUERY to do the pass-throughs.
