Hi Vikas, Linked Servers is a concept in SQL Server by which we can add other SQL Server to a Group and query both the SQL Server dbs using T-SQL Statements. We can link any server provided we have the OLE-DB provider from Microsoft to allow a link. For Oracle we have a OLE-DB provider for oracle that microsoft provides to add it as a linked server to the sql server group. Please refer the below links http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/suthish_nair/linked-servers-in-sql-server-2008/ http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_heterogeneous_database_connections_sql_server.htm Thanks
