Access to linux oracle migration

Hi. I have a huge access application and database that I am
trying to migrate from access to the linux version of oracle 8.
I have the access application and database in seperate mdb files.
Is there a way I can convert this db to oracle 8 for linux and
preserve all the rules in my database. Also what will happen to
any of my queries that use directsql. Thank you very much.

hi Birju,
You can download the MS Access conversion kit from this web site
and this will migrate application and database to Oracle on any
supported platform (including Linux).
Log onto http://technet.oracle.com
Go to Technologies
Go to Migration technologies
Go to Migration Toolkits
and pick the MS Access kit for Oracle 8.1.5
We hope to have a plugin that will allow users to migrate from
Access to Oracle8i (on any supported platform) in the very near
future. This plugin will work with the Oracle Migration
Workbench.
Regards
John

Access 2003 to Oracle Migration Queries

Hi Experts,
I have taken up a project to migrate Access 2003 application to Oracle 9i.The Forms and Reports will continue to run in Access 2003 with Oracle 9i database. I decide to use Oracle Migration workbench for the migration purpose.What I think is the back-end i.e. database and queries will be automatically migrated to Oracle 9i but I'm not sure about the front end application.
Do I need to change front end application to point to database in Oracle 9i or OMW will do that itself.I am also confused with lots of queries that reside in current Access database. I presume these queries will be converted to Oracle procedures/views without any manual intervention but will the front-end application also be modified automatically to point to those stored procedures/views. Otherwise an extensive code change will be required which may result in huge cost.
Currently the Access application is not using any ODBC DSN as it gets connected to the database automatically. Should the database connection be changed to use DSN prior to Migration?
One more thing, the application is using single-level linked table. Will the linked table get automatically converted and connected or I need to do anything?
Could anyone help me in this issue by giving some ideas so I can manage the job efficiently and make proper planning before plunging into the real work.
Thanks & Regards

The Migration Workbench will modify the Access mdb file as part of the migration if you request it, to create the necessary link tables to oracle, it will use an ODBC DSN to do this. This is explained in our documentation. This should be transparent.
However for complex application, you often have a tuning exercise, to ensure that the jet engine does the "right" thing, and there changes are required, e.g. a two way join, you would want that to happen on the server and not done on the client. This would be same tuning exercise, if the back end was SQL Server.
In the latest release of the Access plugin, we did a better job migrating queries to views, but you need to plug this into your code.
Yes, the exporter should extract the information about the linked table, assuming the link is valid at the time of extraction.

OS migration Access(Win) to Oracle(Linux)

I have migrated a Access DB to Oracle 9.2, both running
on Windows on the same computer. Now I want to do the same thing but to a Oracle DB running on Linux.
Is this possible???
What would the difference be?
IÂ´d appreciate tips in this matter.
/Dag

There is absolutely no difference. Once you have the odbc connection setup to the oracle db, it doesn't matter where it is, on windows or linux.....

Migrating Access DB to Oracle Hosted APEX environment

I was wondering if there was a way to migrate an Access DB to the Oracle Hosted APEX environment using the Oracle Migration Workbench? You have to specify the location of the DB and schema and I don't know this information since the DB location is on the Oracle Hosted site. I would like to evaluate the migration functionality of the APEX tool without having to download it locally along with Oracle 10G. Is there a way to do this using the Hosted website?
Thanks!

The quick answer to this is no.
However, there are some services (http://www.appshosting.com) which do offer that type of access at no charge.
Thanks,

Migrated MS-Access table To Oracle

Hi All,
I have 5 table with 1000 rows in MS-Access, i want to migrate the data to otacle 9i in windows XP.
kindly any one tell me, how to convert the table to flat file and how to import the flat file to oracle. OR anyother way to migrated the tables??
Regrads
S.senthil kumar

You can save those tables as CSV. If it is not possible from Access (Generally from File menu then export) copy the rows, paste in excel and then save CSV.
After that you have to use SQL* Loader to load them.
One example

Migration: Access 2003 to Oracle SQL

Dear All
I would like to perform a migration from Access 2003, to Oracle 10g. I am using SQL Developer for the task, and have reached the point of capturing the XML file that I exported from Access. I need to create a migration repository on the target database, and this is causing problems as I do not have all the necessary privileges.
In the process, I have been advised that migrations from Access to Oracle are not easy to achieve, and in fact require careful planning before execution. My objective is not really to transfer the data stored within the database file. I only really want to convert Access logic into Oracle SQL code. I was wondering if anyone could advise on the typical odds of success in achieving this task.
I migrated the same Access database to MS SQL Server some time ago and the process seemed to go smoothly. Would it be reasonable then to migrate from MS SQL to Oracle SQL if this is easier?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
M

Thanks for your response.
I am not familiar with the intricacies of the process, I'm just following the instructions set out in the Oracle Migrating 3rd Party Databases white paper.
In this document, a process is set out consisting of steps that export an Access database, and then capture it to an Oracle user area with appropriate privileges. The process is achieved through Oracle SQL Developer.
I'd be very grateful if you could expand on your answer if there is a better way of translating Access queries into Oracle SQL. I am aware that an Access front-end is capable of connecting with an Oracle database to execute queries, however, there are considerable limitations in the use of Access that I would like to avoid - hence the migration.

Oracle Migration Tool giving Access denied error for Read operation

Hi;
Oracle Migration tool is giving access denied error when we are trying to Read a record for Access Profiles.
We are getting (SBL-ODS-50085) error.This is happening only for few records(Access Profiles).
Although the user role is administrator having full access and privilege (Manage User and Access checked).
Pl. help me resolve the issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
Does it happen when you try to read "any" Access Profile?
If yes, please have a look at the
"Admin: Users and Access Controls - Manage Users and Access - Manage Users and establish User Quotas. Define Access Profiles, Roles and Groups to manage data access controls." privilege in the role of the user you use for migration.
In order to avoid any problem, I usually create a "Migration" role temporarily and assign this role ALL the privileges to avoid such failures at the time of export.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Charles DUBANT.

Migrate Access DB to Oracle

Hello,
I downloaded migration tool and did the migration of Access 2000 to Oracle.It worked great..
But, I am not seeing the converted database in Oracle.Not sure, if I am missing anything.
I have the converted XML file.
If anybody throw some light on this, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

you need to use that XML file in the Oracle Migration Workbench and go thru te process of loading the XML, transforming it to the Oracle Model and creating your Oracle Schema in the database. This is all documented in a step by step method in the user's guide
