Oracle Provider not in SSMS but in BIDS
872952Sep 29 2011 — edited Oct 3 2011Hi all,
When I try to add a linked server in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), I can't see the Oracle provider in the drop down. However, it's there in Business Intelligence Development Studio. I can connect to my Data Source just fine and report of our database.
I'm running SQL Server 2008 R2 64 bit on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 bit.
However, SSMS is a 32 bit application so don't know if this has anything to do with it.
Thanks.
