How to Migrate my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle

I want to transfer my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle, Can I do this without using Oracle Migration Workbench ??
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Vicky... :-)

Do you have a good technical reason for not wanting to use the Migration Workbench?
Given that it's free and does a hell of a lot of the work for you, why wouldn't you use it?
Other than that, I would say you would be on your own...
cheers,

Unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver

I am unable to connect to my Oracle Database with Microsoft's ODBC for Oracle driver vers.2.573.4202.00 on a Win98 computer.
First, I create a "Net Service Name" in order for the ODBC Driver to find the Oracle server. I then created a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator and assigned the "Net Server Name" as the server in the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Setup". But when I test this DSN with Oracle's provided "Oracle ODBC 32Bit Test vers.2.5.3.1.0" I get an error:
SQLSTATE: NA000
Native Error Code:0
Driver Message:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
This error occurred on all three Win98 computers I have tried. It does however, seem to work fine on WinNT 4.0, and believe it or not, on the two Win95 computers I have tried.
Does anyone have any fixes, recomendations, or advice?
Thank you,
Eric Edwards

Why are yu not using the Oracle ODBC driver - these can be downloaded from OTN.
Have you set up a tnsnames.ora entry for the Oracle database you want to connect to? Does this name have a domain name added to it? Check %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora for the service name. If it is a name of the form :
name.domain.subdomain
then you should try using this full name when configuring the ODBC data source.

Database Configuration Asssistant error while installation Oracle 10g r2

I'm try install Oracle 10g Release2 on Windos XP PRO SP2 system.
I'm select in installation all options by default.
Oracle software is install successfully. Then automatically run Database Configuration Assistant, that must be install example instance.
But it show error window: "ORA-00959: ?????? 'EXAMPLE' ?? ??????????".

Frist of all the actual error message in English would be,
ORA-00959: tablespace <strings> does not exist
Cause: A statement specified the name of a tablespace that does not exist.
Action: Enter the name of an existing tablespace. For a list of tablespace names, query the data dictionary.
In your case that will be tablespace EXAMPLE.
How did you get this error, is this some tablespace you are trying to create?

Migrating image database in Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9i

I am going to be migrating an image database from Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9i and am needing to know
what Oracle9i has to offer as far as options in storing large media types - image, video, audio, etc...
Specifically, does Oracle have anything comparable to Informix' smart blobspace? Is it possible to migrate
image data from Informix to Oracle? I know the migration kits only are available up to Informix version 7.
What does interMedia offer?

Hi,
I was unable to reproduce your problem. I carried out the following steps in attempt to replicate the issue:
1. I launched the workbench, version 10.1.0.2, selecting the Oracle Lite "Default Repository".
2. Using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, I created a user "rtdb" with the password "rtdb" on my target Oracle 9i database.
3. I captured a test Informix database, generating its source and oracle models.
4. I then proceeded to migrate the database to Oracle and supplied my target Oracle9i database information in the "Migration Wizard, Step 1 of 4: Destination Database Details", supplying rtdb/rtdb as the username/password.
5. My test database migrated with no such error messages reported.
If you carried out the migration steps as I have outlined above, and are still experiencing issues with a "Failed to connect" error, I would contact support.
Regards,
Hilary

Steps to change universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10

Hi,
we are moving from sql server to Oracle 10.Please let me know the steps and various parameters I should consider while changing universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10.
Following are the steps which I assumed :
1.     create a new Oracle database connection or edit the existing connection to point to Oracle server
2.     Need to check sql for each object, having integrity check for universe will solve the purpose of parsing each object
3.     Exporting the universe after integrity check
4.     Report data testing
Let me know if I miss on any steps.Also what all factors I need to consider while moving to Oracle for eg: what @ custom sql,what @ table names,what @ LOV etc.
Kindly reply

Thanks Abhijeet and Shreyash,
I will follow the steps you have suggested.
Actually I was searching for this on net and got to know that with Oracle database connection,theres lot of stuff needs to take care of in terms of custom sql and LOV and in our case,we have lot of custom sql for each object in the universe so just wanted to confirm.
I will do the changes and let you guys know in case theres any isuue specifically to Oracle.

Unexpected database connector using CRE2.0 and Oracle SP

I am encountering "Unexpected database connector error" while running a report that calls an Oracle 10g stored procedure.
I have a simple JSP that opens a report that calls the stored procedure. In fact, the JSP is straight out of the samples. It opens the report using ReportClientDocument.open, then forwards to CrystalReportViewer.jsp that calls CrystalReportViewer.processHttpRequest. Very standard stuff.
The report is displayed just fine using JRC 11.8. But with version 2, I get the error: com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Unexpected database connector error---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
The report runs ok in Crystal Report Designer XI (we don't have CR 2008 Designer yet).
The SP has one cursor:
    my_cursor IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
No other parameters.

Is this supposed to be the most reliable database server? A msg to oracle.

Hi, it's been 3 weeks now that I'm fiddling with oracle 11g and I am surprised with the amount of installation/startup/shutdown/management issues that I am facing. I need to evaluate oracle as a possible replacement for sql server, I am supposed to test oracle's scalability vs sql server scalability but so far I was messed up by all kind of installation/management issues. Is Oracle a product always in alpha stage?
I am not new with oracle, I've used oracle 10g in the past and I went through all the oracle library documentation (concepts, dba guide, sql reference etc). By now I am pretty confident with db concepts like control files, redo logs, spfile, tablespaces etc.
I've installed it on 4 machines:
1. windows xp 64bit, 40GB Ram
installation went ok, database + listener + dbconsole started correctly. I did a few things but after rebooting the machine the db did not start! (it complained that it tried to allocate 0 bytes of memory where it needed 2mb for some reason).
dbca is supposed to configure an instance but guess what? To configure the instance if first must start the instance and ofcourse in my case it couldn't start the instance!!!
After reading docs, googling etc, I exported spfile to pfile , manually edited the pfile, imported the pfile as spfile and the db finally started working.
Why on earth a product costing so much can't survive a reboot?
2. centos 5.3 64bit on a P4 machine with 2gb ram
installed ok, database + listener + dbconsole started ok after install. There is no script that I am aware which starts or shuts down the db nor the installer prompted me to install the db as a service (/etc/init.d). So I manually had to create scripts to start/shutdown the db by exporting ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and using dbstart.sh and dbshut.sh and also calling emctrl start dbconsole.
Which means that if someone doesn't shut down the instance before rebooting linux, will the db shut down abnormally?
I would expect a product that costs £13k to install itself properly on linux. mysql is free but comes with proper installations in most linux flavors.
3. centos 5.3, 64bit on an athlon 64 3000+ with 1gb ram.
installed ok, database + listener + dbconsole started ok after install. As you can guess, it didn't survive a reboot. Anyway to make long story short, I managed to create startup/shutdown scripts and all started working.
Then I tried to play admin for a while, i.e. tried to move tablespaces, backup/restore db, backup tablespaces and so on, using dbconsole. Oh well, I can't count the times dbconsole was failing... Are we the beta testers of dbconsole?
But then I needed to change the domain name of the machine and bang! All db services broken again. After fiddling with listener.ora and other config files that I don't remember, I managed to make db and listener work again but not the dbconsole which doesn't want to start and also I don't know where are the log files (there are so many log folders....) Anyway I am still digging into the documentation.
4. fedora 9 32 bit, 2gb ram. Same issues like #2,#3.
I've the following suggestions for oracle:
1. Less configuration files for oracle's next version.
2. Installation should "do it all" for the user in all operating systems
3. a dedicated testing team for dbconsole - it's just buggy
4. improvements on db,tablespace backups and movements. Is it so hard to create a utility that create a zipped backup of tablespaces or the database which can be used on a different server to restore the files?
I've still not worked on my main task : to test scalability. More comments will follow...
Regards,
Kostas

Hi, found the log file, it is under .../dbhome_1/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_server.lan_orcl/log
It appears that oc4j was trying to load the encryption keys file from OC4J_DBConsole_localhost_orcl, didn't find it, oc4j was then exiting but emctl was constantly trying to restart oc4j!!! One more cool "feature" of oracle.
Anyway, I managed to fix that issue but now oc4j/dbconsole still doesn't start, dunno why, the log says:

How to reduce the database size based on MS SQL/Oracle?

Hi,
I had deleted severy clients via SCC5, but the database size is more and more bigger. Do you know how to reduce the database size.
my platform is: NT, MS SQL 2005
NT, Oracle 10.2
Best Regards,
Simon Shen

Hi Simon,
In the case of SQL you need to check how many space free you have in your datafiles and the based on that you need to Shrink them using DBCC SHRINKFILE command.
Find a couple of reference docs here,
http://www.intermedia.net/support/kb/default.asp?id=996
http://doc.ddart.net/mssql/sql70/dbcc_21.htm
Also i'm pretty sure that if your check the properties of the datafiles in MSSQL Enterprise Manager you get a "Shrink" option.

Database Configuration Assistant fails during installation Oracle EE 8.1.7

My machine runs RH 6.2 and I have tried to install it Oracle. After executing all pre-instalation steps, I run ./runInstall and instalation process goes on. I select Typical Instalation and instalation proceeds until 100%, when OUI tries to configure Net 8 Assistant and Database Configuration Assistant. Both applications fail in this phase. Unfortunately, OUI shows a message (for Database Configuration Assistant) informing that /u01/.../JRE/bin/jre does not exist. However, I have installed JDK 118 and JRE link seems correct, so that I can access JDK directory throught JRE link.
HELP, HELP!!!

Database Web Services and OC4J in Oracle Database Standard Edition

Hi all,
Oracle Database Standard Edition has database web services, which require OC4J if the database is to be used as web service provider. So, can OC4J be used in production with Oracle Database Standard Edition?
Thank you for this clarification :)

Yes. :)

Multi Database Support: TimeQuery setting for non-oracle

Hello,
I wanted to develop ADF Application which is database-neutral and thus SQL92 type application.
I actually wanted to make sure that my application runs fine at least on MySQL DB. Therefore I set up my connection in JDeveloper to Mysql database but I started facing issues while working with it. See this > Re: [ADF-11.1.2] Non Sense Associations and View Links while using Mysql as DB
Also there's some limitation while working with non-oracle database like : JDeveloper can't recognize primary key column, therefore developer has to manually select primary key attribute in each EO.
Therefore, I thought to use Oracle DB to overcome from above issues and with Application as SQL92 type.
Information to share, if applicable to you as well:
1. database-neutral SQLs: It may not be possible to come up with CREATE TABLE SQL statement which is database-neutral. i.e. You have to modify SQL scripts generated from Oracle Database Model to make it work with other database. This I think is difficult part, but with proper care and with the help of tool, you can achieve the CREATE SQL statements for other database.
2. Under Model.jpx file of Model project, you can then add your non-oracle Database to test your application with. But make sure you select Oracle Connection while developing/changing Model layer of project << This is again because i think Jdeveloper has some issue with non-oracle Database (mentioned above)
3. Under bc4j.xcfg file (right click AppModel > Configurations...), you properly set value of "sql92 Db Time Query" (jbo.sql92.DbTimeQuery) property . For e.g. default is "select sysdate from dual" which is compatible to oracle database to fetch the current date from database. However this doesn't work with MySQL. You need to set it as "select now()as CurrentDateTime" if you are using MYSQL. This is require if you are using History Column on EO (I don't know if it is require for other purpose of not!) . Following is the code of bc4j.xcfg, notice "jbo.sql92.DbTimeQuery" property.
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>

</BC4JConfig>Note: Point 3 is not mentioned anywhere. Not even here > http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/mysql-and-bc-howto-082060.html.
Questions:
1. How would I make "jbo.sql92.DbTimeQuery" work with other database. It seems I have to hard code the value of it. Can't we externalize it so that we can set it dynamically ?
2. I am sharing this what I noticed and which is not yet documented (at least I haven't found it anywhere)... please let me know if you are aware of any setting needs to be done which may not be documented ?

Did you ever find out more information about working with Dates in non-oracle databases?

How to Configure the 10.2 DB Control in a Failsafe Environment
ID: 452305.1
HOWTO: PUBLISHED 17-OCT-2008
In this Document
   Goal
   Solution
   References
Applies to:
Enterprise Manager Grid Control - Version: 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
The goal of the document is to provide the steps to configure the DB Console in an Oracle Failsafe environment.
Please note that the solution offered in this document is not certified by Oracle. It's only provided as a workaround for customers who wish to use this setup for the Database Control Console in a failsafe environment. Support for the procedure outlined in this document will be provided on a 'best efforts' approach.
As an alternative to this approach you can use Grid Control Agents to monitor a database in a failsafe environment. For more details please see:
Note 396659.1 How To Setup Grid Control Central Agent Manually in Oracle Failsafe Environment
We assume the following:
- the database binaries are installed on each node on the local disk
- you already have a failsafe group with the database, the listener, disk resource, and virtual
ip/hostname
Note: This is specific for Windows environments using Oracle Failsafe. For setting up the DB Console in Active/Passive clusters on UNIX please use the following note instead:
Note 362524.1 Configure DB Control 10.2 for use in Active/Passive High Availability Environments
Solution
1. Drop the DB Control repository and configuration files on the active node:
<ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
2. Recreate the DB Control using the virtual hostname:
- in a command window do the following:
set oracle_sid=<your_sid>
set oracle_home=<your_oracle_home>
set oracle_hostname=<virtual_hostname>
cd %oracle_home%\bin
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
-- make sure that the virtual host name was picked up by emca (it will display a summary screen
before continuing)
3. Verify that the DB Console works fine and can be accessed using the virtual host name in the URL
4. Stop the DB Console
5. Create a directory path on the group disk resource similar to your oracle home path on the local disk.
For example:
If the oracle home on the local disk is C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1 and the shared disk is D:
then create the following path: D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1
Copy C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\<hostname_sid> and
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_DBConsole_<hostname_sid>
to D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\<hostname_sid> and respectively
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_DBConsole_<hostname_sid>
Remember to change the values enclosed in <> with those in your environment.
6. Delete the following directories from the local disk
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\<hostname_sid>
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_DBConsole_<hostname_sid>
7. Create NTFS junction points from the local disk to the shared disk (these work like symbolic
links on UNIX) . It is your responsibility to create these.
You can find a brief guide as well as some tools that will help you create them at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_junction_point

Important: Please note that this functionality is not certified nor supported by Oracle. Make sure you understand the
implications. Especially don't delete the junction points from Windows Explorer !!
In the end you should have the junction points on the local disk (with the same names as the
original directories) that would point to the directories you copied on the shared disk.
8. Start the DB Console service and verify that everything is still working fine.
9. Stop the DB Console service.

11. Once the database is started, create the DB Console configuration files on the 2nd node:
<ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emca -config dbcontrol db
12. Stop the DB Console
13. Delete the created configuration files from the local disk:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\<hostname_sid>
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_DBConsole_<hostname_sid>
14. Create junction points from the local disk to the directories already located on the shared
disk.
15. Start the DB Console service and verify that is working fine.
