We are running SQL Server 2000 SP3. We have linked servers in use that
we use to access Oracle tables.

Recently the claim has been made that you can access Oracle tables from
within SQL Server without using a Linked Server. I searched Books
Online using keywords: linked, remote, and Oracle and did not find
anything.

A search of the newsgroup archives found only entries related to using
Linked Servers.

Is there any such method as claimed? I do not think there is, but I
need to find some support for my position or else learn something new.

Thank you
