I was having the same problem with the AIRSQL i couldn't find how to rencode my csv file...
So i resave the csv in xls and then chose the utf-8 thingy and then just changed the extension back to csv.
i was always wondering why i had an xls file in my source code, which was just left there from the previous reencoding, i guess
hope it helps

Exceptions thrown while importing tables from SQL Server 2000

Hi all,
<MyProblem:
I cannot import the tables defined in my local SQL Server. An exception is thrown --oracle.jdeveloper.cm.ds.db.ValidationException: Columns of type varchar cannot have a size specified.
/>
<What I have done:
In Oracle JDev 10g, Created a new DB connection called "SQLServerConnection" to connect to the SQL Server and it works fine. I am able to see all tables by expanding the connection.
During the creation of a new partner link named "DBAdapter", I use the adapter wizard to select DB Adapter and then select the "SQLServerConnection" DB connection I have created. I select Perform an Operation on a Table and then check Select. After I pressed OK button on the[i] Import Tables dialog, a Error messege box emmerged indicating the Exception: Columns of type varchar cannot have a size specified.
I try to change the data type of the columns of the tables to char, there is still similar exception (Columns of type char cannot have a size specified).
/>
I got the stack trace from the prompt by using jdev.exe.

Using Oracle Forms Importing Data From SQL Server into Oracle Tables.

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Forms 10g in windows XP and having OAS 10g and Oracle database 9i.
How can we import data from SQL Server 2005 into Oracle tables using Oracle Forms?
Thanks & Regards
Eidy

I have no idea what "Oracle Hetrogenius Services" is, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
SQL Developer might also assist you. SQL Developer can connect to SQL Server as well as Oracle and has some tools for migration. See the documentation for details:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/doc.150/e12156/toc.htm
For additional help on using SQL Developer for this task, please consult Support or the SQL Developer forum: SQL Developer
Hope this helps,
Jacob

Import data from sql server /vice versa

My Database serevr version is 10.1.0.3.0.
Sql Server 2000.
Is it possible to import data from sql server to oracle database?
Also other way around.
I mean import data from Oracle to sql server.
Regards,
D

Hi,
You can use Heterogeneous Service to do this. This component is free but poor of resources. Simple things you can do with this, complex I really don't know.
Also, to import from sqlserver to oracle you can use Oracle Warehouse Builder, an Oracle ETL tool. But, OWB do not work in other way, oracle to sqlserver.
And why do want to use sqlserver, if you have oracle?

Junk arabic details while transfer arabic data from sql server 2000 to orac

We are facing problems to view arabic details in oracle which is transfered from sql server 2000 .
In oracle database we are using charecterset is UTF8.
NLS_CHARACTERSET :UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET:UTF8
Sqlr server collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS.
we are using stored procedure for transfering data from sql server 2000 to oracle.
And i am able to view some arbic details which is not transfered from sql server 2000.
I thing some configuration i need to change in sql server.
Can any one help me out from this issue?

I know that this is not the correct forum to ask this question.
If someone knows this issue please help me.
We were using to import from another intermediate sqlserver and it was successfull.
And more over i cannot change anything in oracle database which is live.
The issue is we are using one intermediate sqlserver for transfering the data to oracle apart from main sqlserver.
now we want to stop the intermediate and need to transfer from main sqlserver to oracle Db.
i guess , i need to change some configuration in main sql server.
Main sql server and intermediate have the same collation.
Could you please help me out from this problem?

Importing data from SQL Server

I'm relatively new to Oracle, and my question is about importing data. I have an SQL 2000 server and I export a database using Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle. The process finished OK but when I tried to query the tables qith SQL Plus Worksheet, I get a message saying:
select * from rwp_purge
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
but the table is there. I can see it using DBA Studio. So, what is happening? Do I have to commit transactions after importing data from SQL Server? Do I have to rebuild statistics?
thanks in advance,
Gonzalo Pellegrini

Was the table created in the schema you are loggin as when trying to access the table? If not, you will have to grant access to the table logged in as the table owner.

Error while exporting data from sql server to excel

Hi,
I am trying to export data from sql server to excel.
The query that I used is s follows
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Folder1\abc.xls','select * from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]')
select
column1,column2.... from Table1
I get the following error message while doing so..
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
One of the column's holds data more than 225 characters.
What is the way to correct this, i want the whole data of the colum in the excel sheet.

I haven't had great luck with the INSERT INTO OPENROWSET method. Can you try one of the many samples from one of these 3 links?

Import data from SQL Server into MS Word document for Mail Merge purpose ?

Hi,
Is it possible to import contacts from SQL Server into MS Word for mail merge purpose or if retrieving data from MS Excel can we update the data in MS Excel sheet without opening it ?
Note: Remember when you open a word document already set up for mail merge, asks you to run the query to return all records from the excel sheet it is connected to.
Khurram

Word and the current data source dialog do not really give you any help with that.
You either have to be able to create a View in SQL Server that performs the query you need, then connect to that, or you have to be able to create the correct query manually (or perhaps using some other query tool that can help you), then use VBA to connect
using that query.
For example, if you have been through the connection process once (connecting to a single table) then you will have a .odc (Office Data Connection file) which has the info. needed to connect to the correct server and database. It's a text file with some
HTML and XML inside. You can copy/rename it. Let's say it is called "c:\a\myodc.odc" Then in VBA you can use something like
ActiveDocument.OpenDataSource Name:="c:\a\myodc.odc, _
SQLStatement:="put your SQL statement in here, and if it is long,...", _
SQLStatement1:="put the second part in here"
You get a maximum of either 255 or around 511 characters in the SQL statement, and Word tends to impose some syntax requirements that Transact-SQL does not, so e.g. you may need to quote all your table names.
You can also se an empty .odc file and provide connection info. in the COnnection:= parameter in OpenDataSource.
As background, until Word 2000, by default you would use MS Query to create your SQL query, and MS Query does have facilities that can help you build your query (a bit like the ones in MS Access). That may still be possible (it is a bit harder to find the MS
Query option now, and I am not sure it works with the latest versions of Word). MS Query only works for ODBC queries, and they do not always work correctly when you actually issue the query using ODBC from Word, because of a Word problem to do with Unicode
fields in SQL Server. But you could probably still use MS Query to help you construct your SQL. (It's probably easier to do that in Excel, though).

Error while reversing data from SQL Server to ODI

hi,
I was reversing data from SQL Server Java 1.6_022 in ODI Java 1.5, I was getting error Version Mismatch and I updated ODI Java version to 1.6_022.
And now, I am getting the below error while reversing the data from SQL Server database.
0 : 08001 : java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
Looking for the assistance on the same.
Thanks,
Abhay

If everything is fine the reversing should be fine. I would say check again if the Technology of the Model and the also the dataserver is created under the right Technology in topology too.
also if this doesn't help , Please tell us the steps you have carried so far . Also can you try selective reverse is it showing the tables.

Import data from SQL Server to Oracle

I have created a dblink in oracle to access the SQL database. I am able to run queries through the dblink and it works fine. I have created a test table on Oracle Server to import the data. The field named "description" has CLOB data type. The corresponding datatype on SQL Server is varchar(7000).
When I insert the data from SQL Server, it completes successfully without any error but it truncates the data on CLOB field.
If I run the select query in SQLPlus I can see the entire description.
Select "description" from sql_view@dblink;
-- the above works fine.
CREATE table test
(description CLOB);
INSERT INTO TEST
Select "description" from sql_view@dblink;
-- this works but it truncates the data after 256 characters
My question is, how to get the data from SQL Server without truncating characters.
Thanks in advance,
Gopal

I hear the same from other friend that sql server truncated the leading zeros from the id column.
I really don't have a solution for this but you can try the work around. Export the data to flat file and upload in oracle using SQL loader, as this would be much faster and efficient.

The SQL statement is not valid - when importing data from SQL Server using a query

Hi there,
I am trying to import data from SQL to Power Pivot using a SQL query like below:
SELECT Score.FieldCount, Score.Record.GetAt(0), Score.Record.GetAt(1), Score.Record.GetAt(2), Score.Record.GetAt(3), Score.Record.GetAt(4)
FROM
SELECT * FROM dbo.CLR1(
dbo.CLR2('c:\FILES\Test.xml'),
'SELECT * FROM [dbo].[CXCustomer_Small]') Input
) Score
And when I tried to validate it, it returns
The SQL statement is not valid. A column name cannot be blank.
I ran the above SQL statement in Management Studio and it works without problem. Any idea?
Thanks!

Importing data from SQL Server 2005 database

Dear Friends
Scenario:
We have built an application for which the database is SQL Server 2005.
Now, we have planned to switch over to Oracle 8i database.
There is a field with data type as Varchar(Max) – which can hold data with a maximum length of 231 characters (SQL Server 2005)
In Oracle 8i, the Varchar2 max size 4000 bytes or characters.
We want to import the data from SQL Sever 2005 database into Oracle 8i database.In the process, the value for the particular field whose data type set as Varchar(Max) in SQL Server 2005 and contains more than 4000 characters gets automatically truncated while importing into oracle.
We want the entire characters stored in the field to be imported into oracle database.
Please suggest solutions.
Thanks and regards
Bharath Kumar V

Use CLOB if the data is purely text data. BLOB otherwise.
But the question is why you want to switch over to an Oracle version which is de-supported by Oracle?

Import data from Sql Server 2005

We have a requirement where we need to import/access data from an Sql Server 2005 database into an Oracle 9i/10g database? Basically, the need is to create some link between Sql Server and Oracle database? In, case of two Oracle databases we could have used 'dblink' but how can we do the same in this case?

By using a feature called 'Heterogeneous Services' which interfaces with ODBC or oledb.
Heterogeneous Services is documented in the 'Net administrators manual'.

SSRS reports running slow while fetching data from SQL server DB

We are currently facing issues with lots of our SSRS reports running very slow. Approx they are taking around 15-20 minutes compared to earlier which was 2-3 minutes.
Also, the SSRS reports which fetch their data from a Database is acting as Subscriber for a reporting server. That is we have an OLTP DB server whose Database say 'A' is getting replicated onto the server where say Database 'B'. On this B we have our SSRS
reports fetching the required data and are reported to be running very slow.
As a start I have checked for Index and stats to be properly updated and yes they are.
I am not sure now, from where to start analysing the issue.
I believe replication, not to be the issue as earlier also we had replication set up and never saw the slowness.
IS memory or IO causing a problem, please help as i am not sure on how to find a fix for this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You need to first find out what all are slow? Is it that the whole instance is slow? How about other queries /replication etc against those databases? Are they slow?
Check the reports which are slow, try to find the slowest reports and then start looking at execution plans. Check if there is any kind of blocking happening during the time the reports run. Also try running the reports manually and see if there is a difference
in execution time. Take a look at the waitstats during the time the reports are running.
