Hello,

I have a front end access application and a back end SQL Server. I use SQL Server 2008. There is other data that I need to use to cross check the SQL Server data, and this other data is on an Oracle Database. Is there a way I can create a 'view' or 'link' to the oracle database so I can query SQL/Oracle tables simultaneously? Doing inner join's, etc...

I would use Import Wizard, but the Oracle tables in question are 30+ gigs in size...

If I don't have access to create a linked server, is there an alternative way?

Well you could import the Oracle data to MSSQL via SSIS, and do the comparison in MSSQL. Or the other way around for that matter.
