Migration from SQL SERVER 2008 to Oracle 10g issues.

Hi ,
I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 10g and I end up with some issues that I wanted to ask some info about it.
First, I was following a tutorial
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
and and in the last version of Oracle SQL developer I downloaded, I didn't find the Load Database Capture Script Output option.
My first question is how can I either add this option or is there a new way to load the capture script ?
Then I use the migration wizard and after following everything, I had the migration complete message from the application.
When I tried to open my connectionss, it tells me version 11.2 is required. Does that mean that Oracle SQL developper 3 only
do the migration for oracle 11g? And if I tried the previous versions, it doesn't support SQL server 2008.
What do I do in this case ?
Thanks !

Thank you for your reply.
After using the wizard and made the offline migration script, in the Migration projects window I made a move data to the oracle connection I previously made and after when I tried to reopen the connection, I couldn't.
Well I didn't retry it yet to see if I'll have the same behavior but basically this is what I think I did. When I tried to open the connection I made, it says, Oracle 11.2 is required.
Now, I just generate target from the convert model and it says migration complete but how do I test it and I do I go to oracle and see change ?
Do I had to create a special user in SQL Server to log to it first ? How do I logon to it ?

Migration from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Dear buddies,
I need to migrate my tables with data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. How can I do it in the best possible way?
Please guide me.
Nith

Nith,
I doubt if there is one best practice that can cover all cases of migrating data from sql server to Oracle. l generally find various factors case-by-case that make me chose one approach over the other. Without considering the business case and environment specific factors, some of the things I would like to know would be: The data types of the tables columns, table sizes, number of tables and if this is a one time process or a recurring process.
One of the easiest (some times rather pesky) process would be:
-Dump source data (Sql Server data) into flat files, csv or any preferred format
-Setup a set of staging set of tables in the destination DB (Oracle in your case). You can setup the stage tables to enforce data-types, value sets and even some level of integrity constraints or any data logic or what ever you would like to filter out. Load the flat file data into a set of Oracle stage tables (Sql*Loader would be a good candidate)
-You can always move data from these stage tables to you application tables
You can script this whole process to run as batch or on demand or how ever you would like.
I am sure you can google and find a bunch of proprietary as well as open source tools to do the same with little to a lot of work.
good luck!

Migrating From Sql Server 2005 to Oracle (Uniqueidentifier Issue)

If i want to migrate from SQL SERVER 2005 to Oracle, How Oracle will deal with my primary key columns in almost all tables having datatype of UNIQUEIDENTIFIER ???
is there any concept of uniqueidentifier in Oracle same as in SQL SERVER ????
Regards

When you migrate your SP's from SQL Server to Oracle the parser basically does 'as good a job as it can' to migrate them.
Luckily, using SQL Developer you are able to look at the source SP and converted SP in windows next to each other and see what oracle has done to them.
You can also paste your SQL Server code into a window and ask SQL Developer to translate it to oracle for you. Use the 'Translation Scratch Editor' on the migration menu if this is something that interests you. I was told that the parser used by the Translation Scratch Editor is different to the parser used when migrating the whole database.

Migration from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g

Hi there,
I have a quick question, Anyone who have experienced to migration procedures,function from SQL Server 2008 to 11g R2. Is it possible? I migrated tables and views through Oracle heterogenious servinces but I am not sure about the fucntions and procedures.
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm regards,

Automated conversions are possible. After these conversions the system will pretty much run. However, and it can be a pretty big HOWEVER, performance could well take a hit - which the uninitiated or SQL Server acolytes will seek to blame on Oracle not being very good. This is not actually the case.
You could be in for a major review and rewrite. Besides the syntax differences in the procedural languages, there is a huge - like really huge - difference in transaction control, isolation, and read consistency. Basically, keep in mind that Oracle reads do not block writes, writes do not block reads, and there are no dirty reads. Writes only block other writes. Thus, no coding 'tricks' are needed to get around these blockers. Oracle has global temporary tables that are generally used to help out those converting from SQL Server. In actuality, then are mostly not needed as you can almost always do your work in one SQL statement.
Read the concepts guide from cover to cover, then do it again, then start looking at what you need to do to convert your procedural code.

Migrating from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

Hello,
I am a newbie to Oracle 10g and haven't really worked with Oracle since 8i. I have been tasked to migrate all of our databases and tables to Oracle 10g. I need a little help getting started or pointed in the right direction on how to copy all that data from SQL Server to Oracle 10g. I know that Oracle has an Import/Export Utility, but don't know if it can do what I need. Can some one help point me in the direction I need?
Thanks, Marion

You need to download both the Oracle Migration Workbench core tool and the SQL Server 2000 plugin (SQLserver2k.jar). You copy the plugin into the plugin directory, after you unzip the Oracle Migration workbench main.
The tool comes with release notes and a user guide, that explains the necessary setup and migration process.

Migration from of database and app from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Hello Every body,
Lately, I have been requested to migrate one inhouse developed hub application from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g. The objective is to move application and also the database to Oracel 10g.
Here is the current platform:
OS Win 2008 64 bit
JDK 1.4.2
JBoss 3.2.5
EJB 2.1
My question is what kind of issues you guys see in above upgrade. As far I know, Schema and Database migration can be done by Oracle workbench. Oracle 10g supports JDK 1.4. Oracle 10g also supports EJB 2.1.
Anything, I need to take into consideration or any risks or problems. I would like to list down all the risks, and accordingly, I am thinking of start the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zeeshan Qureshi

In general the Java/J2EE application needs work in the following categories:
1. Connection Settings: Use Oracle JDBC drivers, create new data sources, connection pools and what not. Disable AUTOCOMMIT for Oracle JDBC Connections.
2. For EJBs, you should regenerate the entity beans because some object names/column names might have changed in oracle.
3. Any custom SQL that is in use in the EJBs will have to be ported to Oracle just as you would do in stored procedures and other applications.
4. For Java front-ends, if you are using callouts to stored procedures and expecting result sets then they will require some changes. You need to modify the stored procedure call signature to include the REF CURSOR variables and process them.
5. Changes to any SQL Server specific database functions manipulating character/date data will be required.
6. CLOB/BLOB/XML apis are different across databases so if you are using those then focus on them as well.
7. Retreiving Auto/generated keys from database also may need changes from what I have seen.
Hope this helps..

Data length problem migrating from sql server 7 to oracle 8i

I just migrated SQL Server 7 database to Oracle 8i db and everything seemed to have ran ok except that in my newly created oracle database, the field size is doubled. For instance a field with nvarchar(4) in sql server would convert to varchar2(8). Has anyone ran into this problem and also does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you so much.

Hi Roberto,
You cannot use Workbench 1.2.2 to migrate from SQL Server 7 to
Oracle 8.
However, the good news is that we have a new verion of the
workbench that will have a plugin that can migrate from SQL
Server 7.0 to Oracle8.
A beta version will be downloadable from this web-site in approx
one week. Eventhough this version is a beta version, it has
undergone some rigourous testing and is very close to production.

Hi ,
I have to transfer 2-3 tables (5 Lacs records each) from sql server 2008 to oracle Ent. 11g (platform Linux)
i have to upload data with some conditions.
not allowed to install oracle client on sql server for link server. i can get data in csv file
which will be the best possible way
1) using Db link on oracle server
2) get data into csv file and load using SQL loader
3) get data into csv and load using external table
4) using tool - sql developer
Thanx,

Move data from sql server v8 to oracle 10g

I just got urgent projects to migrate the data from MS SQL server 2000 to oracle 10g. The following are requirements:
Source data/table: MS sql server 2k (version 8) on MS 2000 machine.
Destination Data/table: oracle 10g (10.1.0.4) on Redhat version 3.
Total number of tables: < 10 tables and < 1000 rows each tables.
This is only one time data extraction. No periodically data extraction need.
Questions:
What connect method I should use? (odbc or jdbc)
What if I have image datatype?
Thanks in advance.

Use the Oracle Migration Workbench.

I think IMAGE will be migrated to BLOB by default.

Problem in Loading Data from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

Hi All,
I am a university student and using ODI for my final project on real-time data warehousing. I am trying to load data from MS SQL Server 2000 into Oracle 10g target table. Everything goes fine until I execute the interface for the initial load. When I choose the CKM Oracle(Create unique index on the I$ table) km, the following step fails:
21 - Integration - Prj_Dim_RegionInterface - Create Unique Index on flow table
Where Prj_Dim_Region is the name of my target table in Oracle.
The error message is:

I am using a surrogate key column in my target table alongwith the natural key. The natural key is populated by the primary key of my source table, but for the surrogate key, I have created a sequence in my oracle schema where the target table exists and have used the following code for mapping:
<%=snpRef.getObjectName( "L" , "SQ_PRJ_DIM_REGION" , "D" )%>.nextval
I have chosen to execute this code on target.
Among my attempts to solve this problem was to set Create Index option of the CKM Oracle(Create Index for the I$ Table) to No so that it wont create any index on the flow table. I also tried to use the simple CKM Oracle km . Both solutions allowed the interface to execute successfully without any errors, but the data was not loaded into the target table.
When I right-click on the Prj_Dim_Region data store and choose Data, it shows empty. Pressing the SQL button in this data store shows a dialog box " New Query" where I see this query:
select * from NOVELTYFURNITUREDW.PRJ_DIM_REGION
But when i press OK to run it, I get this error message:

Hi Cezar,
Can u plz help me with this scenario?
I have one Oracle data model with 19 source tables and one SQL Server data model with 10 target tables. I have created 10 interfaces which use JournalizedDataOnly on one of the tables in the interface; e.g in interface for DimCustomer target table, I have 2 tables, namely Customer and Address, but the journalizing filter appear only on Customer table and this option is disabled for Address automatically.
Now I want to create a package using OdiWaitForLog event detection. Is it possible to put all these 10 interfaces in just one package to populate the target tables? It works fine when I have only one interface and I use the name of one table in the interface for Table Name parameter of OdiWaitForLogData event, but when I try a comma seperated list of table names[Customer, Address] this error happens
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
and if I use this method <%=odiRef.getObjectName("L","model_code","logical_schema","D")%>, I get this error
"-CDC_SET_NAME=Exception getObjectName("L", "model_code", "logical_schema", "D") : SnpLSchema.getLSchemaByName : SnpLschema does not exist" "
Please let me know how to make it work?
Do I need to create separate data models each including only those tables which appear in their corresponding interface and package? Or do I need to create multiple packages each with only one journalized interface to populate only one target table?
Thank you for your time in advance.
Regards,
Neel

Database Migration MS Sql Server 2008 to Oracle

I have downloaded the latest updates for SQL Developer and am attempting to migrate my SQL Server 2008 DB to Oracle 11g. I get the following error when attempting to test my Sql Server connection:
Status : Failure - Test failed: I/O Error: SSO Failed: Native SSPI library not loaded. Check the java.library.path system property.
After attempting and following several posts, I have been unsuccessful in getting past this error - I have downloaded and placed in the specified directories the various .dll's suggested....
Any help is of course appreciated.

Boy do I look foolish. I told this guy that the owners of the application answer questions here... suerly he would get a reply.
Such is the problem with "free" software. No one to blame when it doesn't work.

Siebel database migration from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 11g RAC.

Hi,
We would like to migrate our Siebel database from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 11g RAC. Can you suggest the best way to do that ?
The current configurations are:
Application : Siebel
database : SQL Server 2005
The hardware can be changed if needed. Can you please suggest the best approach ?
Thanks,

Hi Naveen,
We would like to migrate our Siebel database from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 11g RAC. Can you suggest the best way to do that ?You will need much more which suggestions.
You will need a Siebel professional which has done this type of migration. Migrating the Database is not a task so hard, after migrating your environment should be functional and healthy it is usually the task problematic.
The hardware can be changed if needed. Can you please suggest the best approach ?We can recommend the minimum recommended, but this documentation already does, you need to do a analysis on your environment and ask a vendor Siebel tell the which is recommended for you and how to find the best "number" for you, in your case is very hard because everything changes.

Migrating from SQL Server 2008.

What options do I have to migrate from 2008 to work around the quick migrate? How do I generate the capture scripts from the SQL Server database to bring into developer to bypass the utility?
Thanks

Wrong forum.
Oracle has a tool named "Migration Workbench" that should help you though I'd be surprised if it was compatible with any new SS 2008 features.
My preference, due to the strangeness that is SQL Server, is to reverse engineer objects to DDL and run the scripts and dump the data as vertical
bar delimited ASCII and load with Oracle SQL*Loader.
SQL Server 2008 has been out a very short time. I'd be interested in knowing why it is so quickly being abandoned. Thanks.
