Last updated on APRIL 20, 2017

Applies to:

Oracle Data Integrator - Version 3.2.03.01 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

What are the best practices for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) 12c, 11g and 10g in terms of setting up JDBC connections to third party database software such as:

  1. Microsoft SQL Server Databases
  2. Sybase
  3. PostgreSQL
  4. Informix
  5. IBM DB2UDB
  6. Teradata
  7. ...

Are there any known compatibility issues?

In particular, when attempting to connect to Microsoft SQL Server (2000/2005) with Microsoft JDBC Driver using the following URL:

jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://myHost:1433

the following error messages may be displayed:

connection failed
java.lang.Exception: com.sunopsis.sql.e: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
at com.sunopsis.graphical.b.gr.a(gr.java)
java.sql.SQLException [MS SQL Server 2000 JDBC Driver] Can't start cloned connection while in manual transaction mode.
