Connecting On-Premises SQL Server to Oracle ADB (on the Oracle Cloud)

 In my Oracle DBA blog, I had included two posts in October 2020 :


1.  On-Premises SQL Server to Oracle ADB on the Cloud - 1  -- where I setup a connection from SQL Server to Oracle ADB using a Linked Server definition and an Oracle Client (configured with the Wallet for the Oracle Cloud

2. On-Premises SQL Server to Oracle ADB on the Cloud -- 2  -- where I copy data from SQL Server to Oracle ADB and then run a query across the two databases

Note : I used the Free-Tier Oracle Autonomous Database ("Oracle ADB").  So, there is on OS (Server) level access in the Oracle Cloud instance.  Access to the databases uses a preconfigured Wallet -- all network traffic is encrypted.
