Best way to migrate Access data into Oracle 10g?

what's the best and easiest way to migrate MS Access database into Oracle10g?
Thanks

you can check out this thread ms access db to oracle 10g
<p>also as neil mentioned you need an ODBC to established a database connection between ms access and oracle. be sure that the tables are existing in oracle so you move the data from ms access to oracle tables.</p>

dear gurus,
i am wondering that what is the best way to insert massive data into an existing excel file, more performance perspective.
the file is read from BDS , and we want to insert data into it .
the way i can think of is
1. OLE AUTOMATION

2. Office integration
    i am not sure it's facing the same performance issue ?

Best method to load XML data into Oracle

Hi,
I have to load XML data into Oracle tables. I tried using different options and have run into a dead end in each of those. I do not have knowledge of java and hence have restricted myself to PL/SQL solutions. I tried the following options.
1. Using DBMS_XMLSave package : Expects the ROWSET and ROW tags. Connot change format of the incoming XML file (Gives error oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Start of root element expected).
2. Using the XMLPARSER and XMLDOM PL/SQL APIs : Works fine for small files. Run into memory problems for large files (Gives error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError). Have tried increasing the JAVA_POOL_SIZE but does not work. I am not sure whether I am changing the correct parameter.
I have read that the SAX API does not hog memory resources since it does not build the entire DOM tree structure. But the problem is that it does not have a PL/SQL implementation.
Can anyone PLEASE guide me in the right direction, as to the best way to achieve this through PL/SQL ??? I have not designed the tables so am flexible on using purely relational or object-relational design. Although would prefer to keep a purely relational design. (Had tried used object-relational for 1. and purely relational for 2. above)
The XML files are in the following format, (EXAMINEEs with single DEMOGRAPHIC and multiple TESTs)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root_Element>
<Examinee>
<MACode>A</MACode>
<TestingJID>TN</TestingJID>

Please refer to the XSU(XML SQL Utility) or TransX Utility(for Multi-language Document) if you want to load data in XML format into database.
Both of them require special XML formats, please first refer to the following docs:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/xsu/xsu_userguide.html
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/transx/readme.html
You can use XSLT to transform your document to the required format.
If you document is large, you can use SAX method to insert data into database. But you need to write the code.
The following sample may be useful:

Copy access data into oracle with form builder 9i

hello
i need to copy/import data and tables from an MS access database into oracle 9i database. the situation is each time i login to my forms applicatin i will need to do that. any idea pls...
the access db is frequently updated. so when i login into my forms application it needs to be reimport the data from access db. can any1 pls help me?

To my opinion, there are 3 potential approaches :
1. rewrite the application, that data are stored directly in the oracle database
or the program writes flat files somewhere to the file system which are able getting
imported from the target instance on daily basis or job driven;
2. The "Access-driven approach" : link oracle tables into the MS-Access application
using an ODBC-connection and build a macro in Access which is exporting the stuff to
the target instance; in order to do so, the Oracle Client and ODBC-Drivers needs to
get installed on the PC where MS-Access is started to start the exportation process
(which is probably yours).
You may then create tables in the target instance and link them from within Access
using ODBC as the datasource
3. The "Oracle driven approach". explained in detail here, never tried it, but maybe
worth a look
http://www.orafaq.com/node/60
Basically, install the Oracle Software on a PC, configure an ODBC-Connection and start a
Listener there;
The target instance (which may no run on a UNIX system) is now able to commuincate
with the local running listener on your PC which itself is instantiating a connection to
the Access "Database" using the ODBC-Connection.
In this way, your PC acts as a database server from the Oracle Net point of view.
In theory, this could even work, depending on the ability to connect from the
instance server directly to the given IP of your PC (Security ?? Hmmmz)

Migration using data pump Oracle 10g - Oracle 11g

HI all,
1)
Right now I`m using Oracle 11g. I have a plan to import data from Oracle 10g. I would like to know if its possible to import data which was exported by datapump on Oracle 10g ?
Should I convert somehow expdp output from Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g format ?
2)
Next question is. If I will use expdp to create dump of complete database. May I use *.dmp to import selected users ? Or only full database can be restored ?

Yes, you can import 10g dump into an 11g database.
Maybe you should take some time and read the section on datapump in the fine Oracle® [Database Utilities|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28319/dp_import.htm#i1007324] manual.

Best way to put binary-data into string?

Hi there!
What I want to do is to transfer binary data via HTTP/GET so what I have to do is to transfer binary data into a string.
Currently I do this the follwing way:
      byte[] rawSecData = new byte[4]; //any binary datas
      ByteArrayOutputStream secBOS = new ByteArrayOutputStream(4);
      DataOutputStream secDOS = new DataOutputStream(secBOS);
      for(int i=0; i < rawSecData.length; i++)
        secDOS.writeByte(rawSecData);
secDOS.flush();
String secData = secBOS.toString();
System.err.println("Lenght of resulting String: "+secData.length());
I know that this way already worked fine, however I now set up my system up again with another linux-distro and now strange things happen.
e.g. the secData string differs in lenght from run-to-run between 2 and 4 and I don know at all why?
Transferring the binary-stuff into string-stuff (e.g. short-binary 255 255, String: 65536) is not possible for me because of various reasons.
The funny thing is that I remeber that this already worked some time ago and I can figure out why it now doesnt...
Please help!

First of all thanks a lot for your help!
Yes, I already think its an encoding problem, but how can I specify the encoding in my application in a portable way. I dont have an idea what to do.
My applikation should run as applet on many different 1.1+ VMS (msjvm, netscape-1.1.5, ...).
Thanks again, lg Clemens

What's the best way to export UTF8 data into Excel?

Hi,
Database charterer set is UTF8
     PARAMETER     VALUE
1     NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8
2     NLS_CHARACTERSET     UTF8
My requirement is that I want to export oracle data into excel file by using UTL_FILE oracle supplied package.
But while writing data into excel files it’s looses in UTF8 encoding and writes some garbage data into file.
I am very much sure that while retrieving the data form database it is perfectly encoded with UTF8, but after data is written to the file it eats the UTF encoding resulting into some garbage data.
e.g.
I am retrieving this filed from database which is UTF8 encoded in DB “Langäcker 55” but when it is written into excel it becomes “LangÃ¤cker 55”.
Is Oracle UTL_FILE eating the UTF8 encoding while writing into file? if yes, is there utility which can help me to remain the UTF8 encoding as it is while writing in to excel file? Is there anythingi can do in Oracle to get this done?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Santosh

Until now I have not found anyone who could write real Excel files (MS binary format) in PL/SQL. So I assume that you write your data in strings separated by a character like ; or |, aka CSV.
Try to open your file with 'wb' (write binary) instead of 'w' and then use
-- write data
utl_file.put_raw(v_file,utl_raw.cast_to_raw(<your data>));
--write remaining data
utl_file.fflush(v_file);
--close the file
utl_file.fclose(v_file);Regards

Best way to migrate data

I'm having a new HD installed and I'm using TM to back up my data to a new HD. What is the best way to migrate the data from my external HD to my new installed HD? thanks

To use Time Machine you must first boot into OS X which means you have to install OS X from somewhere. A fresh install of Leopard from DVD takes roughly 1-2 hours depending on the speed of your computer and optical drive. Then you have to restore your data with TimeMachine and that will take ????. Obviously that depends on how your TM drive is connected to the computer and how much data there is to transfer.
A SuperDuper clone is bootable. You connect the drive to your computer and boot into the drive. Was your crash catastrophic and at a horrible time? You are back in business right now - not 2-? hours from now as you would be with TimeMachine. That is the big advantage of SuperDuper.
TimeMachine will have/has had a huge impact on my backup scheme but I'm still assessing how I'll ultimately use it. What I do know is that I'll continue to clone my computers using SD so that if Murphy strikes I'll be right back in business immediately.

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.

Best way to extract XML data to DB

Hello,
In our work we need to extract data from XML documents into a database. Here are some extra notes:
+ There is no constant schema for the XML documents.
+ Some processing on the XML files is required.
+ The XML documents are very big.
+ The database is Oracle 8i or 9i (Enterprise Edition both) and our framework is NET.
Our questions are:
1. What is the best way to extract the data into the database under the above circumstances ?
2. In case there was a constant schema for the XML documents, would there be a better way ?
3. Is writing the data to text files first, and then loading it via SQL-Loader is an effective way ?
Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks.

Hi Nicolas,
The answer depends on your actual storage method (binary, OR, CLOB?), and db version.
You can try XMLTable, it might be better in this case :
SELECT x.elem1, x.elem2, ... , x.elem20
FROM your_table t
   , XMLTable(
      '/an/xpath/to/extract'
      passing t.myxmltype
      columns elem1 varchar2(30) path 'elem1'
            , elem2 varchar2(30) path 'elem2'
            , elem20 varchar2(30) path 'elem20'
     ) x
;

Best way to migrate iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, Address Book to Mac?

I have been a user of Macs since 1985, but my wife has always used Windows (and before that, MSDOS).
I have now gotten for her a new MacBookPro and would like suggestions on the best way to migrate the data needed to sync her iPhone with the new Mac.
Currently, her contacts and calendar are in Microsoft Outlook for Windows, her photos are in some kind of Windows program and her music is in iTunes for Windows.
What is the smoothest, easiest way to migrate these Windows files into a Mac format so she can use iCal on the Mac for her calendar, Address Book for contacts, iPhoto for pix and transfer her music from iTunes/Windows to iTunes for Mac?
Is there any way to just sync the new MacBookPro with the iPhone and have it upload the data from the iPhone to the Mac????
Just lookin' for the easiest way to do this....

Have the Apple Store do this for you or call Apple support and they will help you do it.
