Aser writes "I am using SQL Server 7.0. In this i have created DTS package to transfer data from SQL Server to Oracle 9i (using MSDAORA/MS ODBC driver as provider for Oracle).
When i try to run Distributed Transaction between two servers it gives an error message that MSDAORA does not support Distributed transactions.


Is it possible to run distributed transaction between SQL server and Oracle server. If yes how?

Thanx"

Not convinced that dts will incorporate sql server v7 in a transaction.
I though Oracle 9 did support distributed transactions.

If it does work it sounds like a good way of taking both servers out of action.
Design things so that it doesn't need to lock either system - using staging tables should do it.

Maybe another thing I should add to my signature.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
