Creating a new linked server

Hello,

I need to create a linked server.. and I am not very clear about the configuration steps in the creation of a linked server. The objective here is to create link to an oracle db through sqlserver ssms

I am not sure what is the information i need to provide for the following columns. All i have right now is access to the oracle db. ie username and pwd.

these are the steps i am following to create a linked server

right click --> server objects-->create new linked server -->

entering the following information --

linked server : Linkedserver001 Server type : other datasource provider : Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle product name : Oracle

Data source........... what info should i provide

Provider String: --- what info should i provide here

Next tab: Under security

checked in provided remote login and pwd

next tab.. server Options

all are default settings.

Any inputs..

Thanks

Follow the link below. It uses scripts to create the link, but will give you the same results.
