Jeff writes "I have a linked server, Oracle 8i ;-(

I see the tables, but am having difficulty writing queries to access the data.

The servers' name, at least what I named it, is "FLEX_PM".

Here's the query:
select INSTANCE_ID from FLEX_PM..FLEXPM.ENT_TABLE

When I try to run a query, I get the following message:
Server: Msg 7356
OLE DB Provider 'MSDORA' supplied inconsistant metadata for a column.

The datatype of this column is NUMERIC(38) on the Oracle Server.

I've even tried convert(int,INSTANCE_ID).

Any ideas?

Thanks
