 Direct queries to mysql 5.0 on Windows Server 2003 from Oracle 10g on Solaris 8
I have Oracle 10g running on Solaris 8. I would like to do direct queries from this server to a table on a MySql 5.0 database residing on a Microsoft Server 2003. Are there step-by-step instructions around? ie. Drivers for both ends; admin/config on both ends, etc. Thanks.

Answer Wiki:
I haven't tried this before, but all you should need to do is install MySQL-ODBC and configure a connection between the MySQL and Oracle databases by modifying the odbc.ini files on each server, create an Oracle database link to the MySQL data source, then you should be able to insert, update, delete, and select from Oracle to MySQL across the database link. Here are some instructions that show how to perform this type of set up with Oracle and MySQL both the the same machine (Linux), but you should be able to get the gist of it and be on your way - http://www.dbaglobe.com/2011/05/connect-to-mysql-database-from-oracle.html. I hope that this information is helpful.

That is a very good answer.

Those type of setups were usually called “heterogeneous services”. A google search using those words could offer more info.
