How to access PostgreSQL from Oracle database
MAY 29, 2013 55 COMMENTS (HTTPS://DBASPOT.WORDPRESS.COM/2013/05/29/HOW‑TO‑ACCESS‑POSTGRESQL‑
FROM‑ORACLE‑DATABASE/#COMMENTS)
Se ing up connectivity between Oracle and PostgreSQL by means of database link is as easy as follows:
1. on Oracle server set up ODBC data source for PostgreSQL database:
Windows:
install ODBC driver for PostgreSQL
go to Data Sources (ODBC)
→ click System DSN
→ click Add, select ‘PostgreSQL Unicode’
→ provide Data Source (e.g. PG_LINK), Database (e.g. pgdb), Server, Port, User Name (e.g. pguser), Password (e.g. pgpass)
→ click Test to test connectivity
Linux:
install ODBC driver for PostgreSQL, e.g.
# yum install postgresql91‐odbc
place .odbc.ini file in oracle user home directory:
[ODBC Data Sources]
PG_LINK = PostgreSQL
[PG_LINK]
Debug = 1
CommLog = 1
ReadOnly = no
Driver = /usr/pgsql‐9.1/lib/psqlodbc.so
Servername = <PostgreSQL_IP>
FetchBufferSize = 99
Username = pguser
Password = pgpass
Port = 5432
Database = pgdb
[Default]
Driver = /usr/lib64/liboplodbcS.so.1
2. configure HS for Oracle database

https://dbaspot.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/howtoaccesspostgresqlfromoracledatabase/ 1/22

create file initPG_LINK.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin directory
(Note: PG_LINK is the name of Data Source name created above).
Edit the file:
Windows:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = PG_LINK
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
Linux:
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/usr/pgsql‐9.1/lib/psqlodbc.so
set ODBCINI=/home/oracle/.odbc.ini
modify tnsnames.ora; add the following entry:
PG_LINK =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<ORA_DB_HOSTNAME>)(PORT=<ORA_DB_PORT>))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=PG_LINK))
(HS=OK)
)
modify listener.ora; add the following static entry in the SID_LIST:
SID_LIST_<your_LISTENER_NAME>=
(SID_LIST=
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=PG_LINK)
(ORACLE_HOME=<your_ORACLE_HOME>)
(PROGRAM=dg4odbc)
)
)
reload listener configuraction
lsnrctl reload <your_LISTENER_NAME>
create database link:
create database link PG_LINK connect to "pguser" identified by "pgpass" using 'PG_LINK';
Note: In PostgreSQL all non‑quoted identifiers are converted to lowercase. On the other hand in Oracle they are converted to
uppercase.
That’s why it’s important here to put double quotes around lower‑case username (“pguser”) and password (“pgpass”). Otherwise
you’ll pass PGUSER and PGPASS (converted by Oracle) to PostgreSQL and get an error.
The same relates to querying data from PostgreSQL database via Oracle database link.
Enclose PostgreSQL table name with double quotes:
SQL> select * from "testtable"@PG_LINK;
col1
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
test row 1
Otherwise, you’ll get ORA‑28500 message:
SQL> select * from testtable@PG_LINK;
select * from testtable@PG_LINK
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA‐28500: connection from ORACLE to a non‐Oracle system returned this message:
ERROR: relation "TESTTABLE" does not exist;
No query has been executed with that handle {42P01,NativeErr = 1}
ORA‐02063: preceding 3 lines from PG_LINK

Try ‘hsodbc’ for 10g oracle binaries. ‘dg4odbc’ relates to 11g.

Hi.
Please change PORT to 1521 for PG_LINK entry in tnsnames.ora. It should be oracle listener port.

Hi,
First of all, thank you very much for your article. I followed the instructions. Please find below my configuration:
[ Here is the content of the file /home/oracle/odbc.ini ]

FetchBufferSize = 99
Username = postgres
Password = postgres
Port = 5432
Database = imdb
[Default]
I downloaded and compiled the most recent version of ODBC directly from Postgresql website
so /usr/local/psqlodbc‑09.03.0300/build/lib/ above refers to the installation directory and inside the lib I have two files:
$ ls /usr/local/psqlodbc‑09.03.0300/build/lib/
psqlodbcw.la psqlodbcw.so
$
It seems to me that psqlodbcw.so is the odbc driver which I put in odbc.ini file.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your time and your a ention. I changed the file accordingly, so here is the content after adding

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the article, it is very usefull. However I still have a problem to complete the configuration.
I need to create a DB_LINK from ORACLE 10.2.0.5.0 to Postgresql 8.1.8.
Below my config:
———————————
The package is installed
postgresql.x86_64 8.1.11‑1.el5_1.1 base
———————————
$HOME/.odbc.ini
[ODBC Data Sources]
[PG_LINK]
Debug = 1
CommLog = 1
ReadOnly = no
Driver = /usr/lib64/psqlodbc.so
Servername = ***.***.***.111
Username = lecture
Password = ******
Port = 5600
Database = *****

———————————
$ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/initPG_LINK.ora
HS_FDS_TRACE_FILE_NAME=/logi/ora10205_psu4/hs/admin/pg_link.trc
#HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/usr/lib64/psqlodbc.so
set ODBCINI=/logi/ora10205/.odbc.ini
———————————
I added the new entry in tnsnames.ora and in the listener.ora I added:
…
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=PG_LINK)
(ORACLE_HOME=/logi/ora10205_psu4)
(ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64:/logi/ora10205_psu4/lib:/logi/ora10205_psu4/lib32)
(PROGRAM=hsodbc)
)
…
———————————
I reloaded the listener, created the DB_LINK.
Until now, everything woked. But, When I try the db_link, I have this error message.
SQL> select * from “mantis_user_table”@PG_LINK;
select * from “mantis_user_table”@PG_LINK
*
ERROR at line 1:

Could not find symbol ‘SQLAllocConnect’ in dynamic library
DB_ODBC_INTERFACE (722): ; [C079] Failed to load dynamic library
‘/usr/lib64/libodbc.so’
I tried with different libraries into HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME variable (/usr/lib64/psqlodbc.so and /usr/lib64/libodbc.so), but
I have the same issue.
Do you have any idea please?

I think the problem is because of our 64 bits Linux which is incompatible with 32bits HSODBC.
Am I right?

This post helped me a lot !!! So let me give my contribution. Oracle parses SQL statement before send throw database link to find
out table specifications. Oracle defaults behavior is convert names UPPERCASE. PostgreSQL default behaviors is convert names
to lowercase.
My query was returning error “ORA‑28500: connection from ORACLE to a non‑Oracle system returned this message” “ERROR:
relation “INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES” does not exist;”.
Try #1: Referencing table name by schema and tablename all in lowercase . – Does not work , because Oracle convert statement to
uppercase (by default) and try to ask PostgreSQL for table description details using (schema, tablename) does not find out
(schema,table) in UPERCASE. PostgreSQL does not seek (schema,tablename) in UPPERCASE.
SQL> select * from information_schema.tables@DBPG_LNK;
select * from information_schema.tables@DBPG_LNK
*
ERROR at line 1:
ERROR: relation “INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES” does not exist;
ORA‑02063: preceding 3 lines from DBPG_LNK
Try #2: Referencing table name by schema and tablename all in lowercase surrounded by quotes “.” – Does not work , because
Oracle convert surrounded text in a tablename with a dot “.” inside and try to ask PostgreSQL for table description details
WITHOUT OWNER and with a tablename quoted with a “owner.tablename”. PostgreSQL does not find out a table with from
public schema of local user connection with name “schema.tablename”. PostgreSQL does not seek ( public schema, tablename
with name owner, dot, tablename) in UPPERCASE.

select * from “information_schema.tables”@DBPG_LNK
*
ERROR at line 1:
ERROR: relation “information_schema.tables” does not exist;
ORA‑02063: preceding 3 lines from DBPG_LNK
Try #3: Referencing table name by surrounded by quotes schema in lowercase and surrounded by quotes tablename in lowercase
as this (“owner”.”tablename”) – Yes it’s works, because Oracle parses read separated owner and tablename. And ask to
PostgreSQL correct lowercase of owner and tablename. PostgreSQL find out a table of schema=owner and tablename=tablename
everything in lowercase. PostgreSQL does seek table correctly.
SQL> select * from “information_schema”.”tables”@DBPG_LNK;

Hi Josemar,
I’m almost making this work, I was hoping you could give me a hand.
All my config looks good, I’m using HS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1.
But even when I query using double quotes select * from “schema”.”table”@PGLINK;
I get an error:
ORA‑00600: internal error code, arguments: [kpnfch‑1], [1406], [], [], [], [],

Please try to find out which column generates this error.
select “column1” from “schema”.”table”@PGLINK;
instead of star ‘*’.
It might be a datatype mapping issue.

Hi dbaspot,
I´ve did that just some hours before seing your reply, and it works that way! But now I guess I reached the last issue, which I
assume involves datatype, on postgres I have some columns that are type boolean, If I include them on the query it fails with the
error message I mentioned before. Now I´m trying to find a way to convert when selecting those boolean columns. If you have
any idea, please let me know and thanks for your help/prompt response!

dbaspot says:
March 6, 2015 at 13:18
I would try to convert boolean to anything else before ge ing a column value from Oracle, for instance:
select “col_boolean::int4″ from “schema”.”table”@PGLINK;

Hi, me again!
I was able to make it work on my VM but now, I´m facing issues with my actual dev server.
ODBC was install / configured successfully (i can test with “isql PGLINK” and then do a select on postgre db, it works fine.)
but now, when I configure listener and tnsnames / create a dblink I get this error:
ORA‑28545: erro diagnosticado pelo Net8 ao conectar com um agente
ORA‑02063: preceeding 2 lines from PGLINK
28545. 0000 – “error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent”
*Cause: An a empt to call an external procedure or to issue SQL
to a non‑Oracle system on a Heterogeneous Services database link
failed at connection initialization. The error diagnosed
by Net8 NCR software is reported separately.
*Action: Refer to the Net8 NCRO error message. If this isn’t clear,
check connection administrative setup in tnsnames.ora
and listener.ora for the service associated with the
Heterogeneous Services database link being used, or with
‘extproc_connection_data’ for an external procedure call.

Hi guys, any of you got this error?
8528. 00000 – “Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error”
*Cause: Either an Oracle datatype could not be converted to a non‑Oracle
datatype, or a non‑Oracle datatype could not be converted
to an Oracle datatype. The following are possible reasons for
for the conversion failure:
— overflow problems (in the case of numbers)
— length limitations (in the case of character strings)
— invalid values passed into the conversion routines
*Action: Contact customer support of the agent vendor. If the problem is
due to size discrepancies between Oracle and the non‑Oracle system,
it may not be possible to convert the value.
thanks

Hello All,
Really helpful article and I was able to connect Oracle to PostgreSQL.
There were some issues on the way, but were able to solve it using also other sources.
Just to contribute a bit to the thread:
– Had problems with .odbc.ini – resolved after removing all spaces in lines where parameters and values are defined, so be er to
have no spaces at ^ of line and before/after ‘=’
– had also some problems with Listener SID_DESC, but this is because I haven’t read how to do it properly first time. I have
added multiple complete Listener description blocks in listener.ora, but not a SID_DESC blocks only.
Cheers,
OvivO

Hi Guys,
I have a NLS conversion using my db_link betwwen ORACLE and PostgreSQL.
My Oracle is a 11.2.0.3 WE8ISO8859P15 NLS database. And my postgreSQL use UTF8.
When I try this SQL request :
SQL> select “id” ID,
“summary” DESCRIPTION,
CONVERT(“summary”, ‘WE8ISO8859P15’, ‘UTF8’) CONVERTED_DESC
from “mantis_bug_table”@PG_LINK
I have:
[1561] Probl?smes PA et adresse interne sur matricule 220899…
The french accent aren’t converted and the “è” character appears as “?s” in this example.
This is my configuration:
postgresql‑odbc.x86_64 08.04.0200‑1PGDG.rhel5 installed
My [.odbc.ini]
[ODBC Data Sources]
[PG_LINK]
Debug = 1
CommLog = 1
ReadOnly = no
Servername = xxxxx
Username = xxxxxx
Password = xxxxxxx
Port = 5600
Database = xxxxx
Trace=0
TraceFile=odbctrace.out
TraceFile=odbctrace.out
[Default]
Driver = /usr/lib/liboplodbcS.so
My [initPG_LINK.ora]:
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = DEBUG
#HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/usr/lib64/psqlodbc.so
HS_FDS_FETCH_ROWS=1
HS_FDS_SQLLEN_INTERPRETATION=64
set ODBCINI=/home/oracle/.odbc.ini
#HS_NLS_NCHAR=UTF8
#HS_NLS_NCHAR=UCS2
HS_KEEP_REMOTE_COLUMN_SIZE=ALL
HS_NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR
#HS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P1
As you can see I tried to modify HS_NLS_NCHAR and HS_LANGUAGE but didn’t work.
Is anyone can help me please? :)
Thanks in advance

Hi, please I have a HS installed and configured, I need to execute this:
select * from “schema”.”table”@db_pg where “ini_date” = ’01/01/2016′;
But I got this error ORA‑00997: illegal use of LONG datatype.
I tried with ‘2016‑01‑01’ and it doesn’t work either.
Please somebody could help me please.

Hi, please try to select columns directly instead of ‘*’ and one by one check which one causes the error to come up.

Thank you for your answer. I tried it:
select “campo1”, “campo2” from “schema”.”table”@db_pg where “ini_date” = ’01/01/2016′
and I got the same error. But if I don´t write the “where clause” the query goes fine.
I think the error is in the where, that is a date field.
I.K. says:
May 10, 2016 at 17:05
If “ini_date” is date type, you try to match with a string ’01/01/2016′, so first you have to convert string to date. In oracle
WHERE clause would look somehow similar to this:
where “ini_date” = to_date(’01/01/2016′, ‘dd/mm/yyyy’) so you have to check how this is done in Postgres

Have you tried to select each column separately instead of using star ‘*’ ? Try this out to eliminate one problem after
another.

Hi Puneet,
Can you please post your configuration file, masking passwords, hostnames and ports, of course?
Also you may activate tracing on ODBC gateway and driver so that error is logged and then check it, it might help a lot.
Regards,
OvivO

Hi Puneet,
You might merge Sid List Listener records into single one as currently you have two. You should check syntax, this is how
I made it work. Then restart listener to reread file.
You can telnet postgres host on port 1521, right? Last thing: on postgres side you should allow Oracle host/ip to connect to
Postgres DB.
Cheers,
OvivO

Hello NY,
Hello NY,
On Postgres side – you should also allow connections from host where Oracle is installed, so that Postgres server allow
connections. Have you done this?

I had a problem in the spelling only in my listener.
But I want to post another problem.
Select statement is working properly but running procedure using the db link is giving me this error:
Error(1): ORA‑04052: error occurred when looking up remote object ORA‑00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA‑28500: connection from ORACLE to a non‑Oracle system returned this message: ERROR: schema does not exist.
Any suggestion please.
Thank you.

Not sure you can run a procedure from Oracle on Postgres side using generic ODBC Gateway. I think you should use
Postgres Gateway from Oracle to achieve it.
