Hi,

I created linked server to Oracle. There is a mytable that is exported from SQL S to Oracle via DTC.

Everything seems to be fine, with one exception: queries (from SQL Analyzer) to this Oracle table are not possible, the error is:

Server: Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. Metadata information was changed at execution time.

Other tables are accessible.

As per:
MS Knowledge Base Article – 251238

Table is created specifying Nullability !

Mytable is created in SQL S as SELECT * INTO mytable FROM oldtable

Old table has a computed column called “UTC”.
Mytable has not a computed colunm – UTC is a fixed column there (sp_help)

Any suggestions about the way to query mytable in Oracle are highly appreciated!

Thx,

Dobby
