Forgive me if the questions does not make sense.

My Environments:-
1. Sql Server 2005 Ent. Ed SP2 / Windows 2003 Server
2. Sybase ASE 12.5 / Solaris
3. Oracle 10g 64Bit / I think its Windows 2003

Question #1
1. Is it possible to create Sybase and Oracle as Linked Servers in Sql Server 2005 (considering the env above)

This may be very stupid question
2. Can I create a view in the Sql Server with underlying tables from these linked servers?

3. If #2, is possible, If I update a record in view will it be able to update the underlying table.

Thanks
Karunakaran

1. possible, may need install proper clients on sql server.
2. yes you can.
3. not sure if it's possible, but you can update table directly via linked server.

Has any body successfully configured Sybase as linked server in SQL Serer 2005 with out using ODBC or ids files?
I like to configure the linked server using connection string rather than ids or odbc.

Any pointers will be helpful.

Thanks
