Hello,

I would like to use SQL Server for all the tools it contains (DTS, Data scheduling, Query Analyzer, etc) with Oracle 8i.

Do I need to install the server or just the client?

Any recommendations?
 
Hi,
2 separate and distinct products..Tools for one will not work ( mostly) with the other..
Oracle and SqlServer are radically different in their approach to database management..


Almost all of SqlServer's utility functions can be done with tools in Oracle's toolset, although they may not be as easy to learn and use ( Oracle is more complex than SqlServer so its tools are more complex).

And, by the way, why 8i? - it is now an old version
and will soon be desupported by Oracle support.

You will need to install the SQL Server database to use the bundled tools (i.e. DTS, Analysis Services,etc)
