Unable to set up ODBC setting

[Guest Chris]

I have a Win 2008 server that will host a front application that has an

Oracle database backend.

Prior to Win 2008, I would install the Oracle client and all would be good.

 

I installed the Oracle client on the 2008 Server and got no errors.

However when I go to "Create new data source", Oracle is not an option as it

would be on 2003.

 

Any suggestions on what I am missing. We are trying to move forward with

2008 deployments and would prefer not have to revert back to 2003.

 

Thanks

That would be a question for developer and/or SQL Server group.

Back in the old days of SQL Server 2000 I was involved in similar project as

yours and Oracle data source connector was missing. However, the proper

connector was available in Visual Studio 6. In the meantime I moved away

from Oracle. So I believe that folks at mentioned groups might be helpful to

you.

 

Good luck, and please post a solution here if you get one.
