I am in the process of setting up a new SQL server 2019 standard edition. (due to price unable to go to enterprise edition)
The issue I am having is I have re-written a SSIS package that uses an oracle connector within the package to push data into my SQL server tables.
However when I run this in SSMS it returns an obvious error:
I have also tried to run this via CMD line however returns the same error.
My query is there a way for me to auto extract data from an oracle DB using SQL server 2019 Standard edition.
Due to license restriction we are unable to have VS installed on the server.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
TIA

We have successfully installed SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode. We can run reports with data sources pointing to MS SQL database.
We need to add support for reports querying Oracle 12c database.
After the drivers installation we can create a data source with "Oracle Database" data source type. But when we try the "Test Connection" button, we always get the "ORA-03135: connection lost" error. Reports based on this data source always fail.
We use these versions: SharePoint 2016, MSSQL 2016, Oracle 12c.
Did anybody come across this error? How did you solve it?
Thanks.
We had to install an Oracle patch to ODAC drivers. After installation of the patch we got rid from this error.
Most likely the error was raising because of the Oracle Advanced Security option.
I am using Oracle database for asp.Net web API application, I would like to build rdlc reports and I am not sure if SSDT for VS 2015 (SQL Server Data Tools in Visual Studio 2015) would allow Oracle database connectivity. If so, which version should I install?
Please advice what to install so that I can build rdlc reports.
Thanks
Nope. SSDT is strictly for SQL Server and when I asked last month, the team from Microsoft said that they have no intention of changing that.
It looks like you are talking about using SSDT to write reporting services reports against oracle rather than using SSDT to manage your oracle database. If I am right then you can create a connection to an oracle server:
See:
Data Sources Supported by Reporting Services (SSRS) - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms159219.aspx
You would still need a reporting services (sql server) instance to run the reports on but you can do it.
If you actually mean managing your oracle database using ssdt (deploying tables, procedures etc) then comment here and i'll delete this :)

The Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Developer Tools (ODT) supports Oracle data providers for .NET. SSDT uses these providers to create connection managers to access Oracle data.

This might be a really dumb question... but in VS2013 when trying to add a local database to my Windows Forms Application Project the option is now shown in the C# items menu. The only DB that is available is a Service-Based DB. From what I understand, this is related to SQL Compact Edition but I do have SQL Server 2012 installed. Any ideas? Or are there any significant differences between the Local DB and Service-Based DB?
A service-based database is a database that is only accessed through a server. It uses an MDF data file, which is SQL Server format. To be able to connect to a SQL Server database the SQL Server service must be running, because it's that that processes your requests and access the data file.
A local database is one that is local to your application only. It uses an SDF data file, which is SQL Server CE (Compact Edition) format. There is no need to install a server to access an SDF database. You simply distribute the DLLs that constitute SSCE along with your app and access the data file directly.
You'd normally only use SSCE if the data was to be accessed by your app only and there was a relatively small amount of data. For your project you would use SQL Server. For testing purposes you can use the free Express Edition. When deployed you might still use SSEE or you might use a full version of SQL Server. Note that Microsoft include SSEE with their own RMS POS software. SSEE is limited to databases of 4GB though, so even if you start out with SSEE and it can handle the load, you may still have to upgrade at some point in the future based on data capacity.

for help on creating the database have a look at this tutorial it may be of some help.
Hope this info helps you :)
It turns out VS2013 dropped the .sdf format.
Is Microsoft dropping support for SDF database files in Visual Studio?
The answer is yes: Microsoft is silently dropping support (as usual IMHO) to Sql Compact Edition.
It started abandoning Sql CE 3.5 in Vs2012 It continued dropping Sql CE in Sql Management Studio 2012 and finally in VS2013
You can use CompactView or install SQL Server Compact Toolbox extension in VS2013 or (my prefered solution) use Sql management Studio 2008
UPDATE thanks to Nicolas' comment
As stated by Microsoft:
SQL Server compact edition is in deprecation mode with no new releases planned near future. Last release SQL CE 4.0SP1 (and earlier releases that are still in the support cycle) will continue to be supported through its lifecycle and Microsoft is committed to fix any major, production blocking issues found in these releases.
Have you tried adding your local database from inside the project? Have a look and see if you can add your database from datasources.
I have been writing SQL Compact C# winforms applications for a while now, with the help from all the wizards in Visual Studio. The database is created during development, and installed as-is. Then suddenly, I realise I actually have no clue how to connect to SQL Express on client's machine and install a database if I had to.
There are many examples on connection string and creating database in SQL Express via code (C# in my case) but I don't think that is what I am looking for.
If I develop an application that requires SQL Express. I know there's a feature in Visual Studio that detects and install SQL Express if it does not exist. However, how do I set up and install my database in SQL Express? Do I need to somehow get credentials somewhere?
You mention both SQL Server Compact Edition and SQL Server Express Edition; these are two different things, but for the case you've described you probably mean SQL Server Compact Edition.
SQL Server CE comes with the .Net Framework, so no install should be required. However, you will have to create a database. You can do that with SqlCeEngine.CreateDatabase().
EDIT
For SQL Server Express... to get a connection string from the user without them having to actually type in a connection string, you can use a data connection dialog: archive.msdn.microsoft.com/Connection
I've created an empty console application in Visual Studio 2010 and I'm attempting to add an Oracle (10g XE ) Data Connection via the Server Explorer. I'm using Oracle ODP .NET as the connector and I get the following error:
ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol Adapter Error
I can access Oracle without issue via the web interface or a console, but continually get this generic connection error in VS. I'm using the default installation of Oracle XE and running it locally.
Any suggestion on how to get this set up correctly ? Every tutorial I find works on the understanding that this connection succeeds. As such I'm struggling to find where to begin to troubleshoot. I'm comfortable with VS2010, but new to the way Oracle does things with their DB.
EDIT 1
While troubleshooting I've found this only happens with the Oracle Data Provider for .NET. Using the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle I am able to successfully connect.
EDIT 2
I cleaned up everything and installed 11g XE and the ODAC tools again and continue to get the same message. I realize the error is somewhat generic, I'd be happy to post more information if anyone thinks it helpful. The database is run locally, I can't imagine what kind of 'configuration' an express database would even need...
EDIT 3
The ODAC tools appear to install a 'production' version of Oracle 11 instead of the BETA version that I installed first. Almost appears as if the tool is installing another database ? I also appear to have two ORACLE_BASE locations and two TNSNAMES in what appear to be very similar folder hierarchies. Perhaps a more straightforward tutorial is the answer, Oracle's isn't very descriptive.
Oracle 10g XE seemed to be the problem. A full install of 11g (Full, not Express) took care of the problem entirely.
From here:
Possible fixes for the TNS-12560
include:
Get the latest patches for the SQL*Net client software.
Check your $ORACLE_HOME and $Path variables.
Check File permissions on the PC client.
Ensure that TNS_ADMIN is set correctly.
Check for firewall issues.
Check that the Windows database service is started. Verify teh
ORACLE_SID parameter is set correctly
in the registry.
Wow. I finally got this syntax to work.
I'm a Sql Server guy. I used Oracle back in the da day.
But I'm trying to do some Entity Framework and I said "You're not going to bed until you get Visual Studio 2012 and a edmx file to talk to Oracle.
Geeze.
Here is what I came up with:
Data Source:
Oracle Database (Oracle ODP.NET)
Data Source Name:
localhost:1521/orcl
User Name:
SYSTEM
change the default data source name to localhost.
