We are trying to replicate from Oracle 11G to SQL Server 2008R2.
OS: windows server 2008R2 64bit.
SQL server version: SQL 2008 R2 - 64bit.

I installed the oracle 11G 64bit client. Then restarted the SQL Server services. I still can't see the oracle provider under LinkedServer---->Providers within Sql server management studio.
So now I am thinking of uninstalling the oracle 64bit client and instead install oracle 32bit client. Before doing that I want to check with you all.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

From experience with pulling data from Oracle, I would suggest that you create an SSIS package to pull data from Oracle to SQL, rather then querying from Linked Server.
