Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

Hi,
I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
Thanks,

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

How can I develope a native mobile cross platform app that can access an SQL server.

I would do it in html5 as a web app but I also need to access an SQL server and upload data(text) pictures from the camera and
geolocation data etc.
I've developed many web based applications, but this is this first attempt to integrate native device functions AND interact with an SQL database.
So it would have to be able to use form data then add a photo and geolocation and send everything to the database.
A site with examples and/or tutorials would be nice.
To make things worse, I'd also have to be able to work offline and re-sync when networks connections allow.
If a native app would be too complex, then I was thinking I might be able to develope an app that gathers data then
passes the info on to a browser to connect with the database.
But as much as possible I don't want to have to swing back and forth between a browser and an app.

Here is a page a I bookmarked a while back to use jQUERY to access a php scripts sitting on a server that can then interact with the database in the usual way. This means that you will be able to use DW to create the usual HTML CSS and jQuery to make an interactive app.
I havn't yet tried this but a quick look over the script looks good. Make sure you use php that sanitizes input.

Is there any way of importing stuffs from Microsoft Access to SQL Server?

I have quite a big store of information Microsoft Access DB, but now i am required to switch to SQL Server?
Is there any way of importing to SQL Server, either by Java programming or manually?
Thank you in advance.

I like to give some tips on how to fulfil the requirement.. I haven't tried this. If you succeeded, it is well and good.
1) Using Java:
If you like to Java to import the data from MS Access to SQL Server, you have to write a JDBC Program in such a way that it has to retrieve the data from each MSAccess tables and store it in temperory java varaible.After writng into the temp. varaibles, the same thing will be written into SQL Server. The whole process is repeated for all the tables in MS Access.
2) Manual Process:
Try to get the data scripts from MS-Access for all the tables and Load the same into SQL Server
I hope that Manual Process consumes less time compared in writing the codes for transformation..
I hope that you got some idea on reading this. If you have any doubts, try to get back to me..

How To access MS SQL Server 2000 in Linux

I have a MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows2000,
For some speical reasons,I need to write a JAVA
Program running on Linux which can access datas
in MS SQL Server....How do I code????

You should be able to it, but I think you'll need to use a third party JDBC driver.
I've used a driver from http://www.jturbo.com and another from http://www.inetsoftware.de/ , and if my memory is correct both worked quite well. You can search for other 3rd party drivers here: http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers
Good luck.

Dealing with the DATE data type in SQL Server

As you know, a date is stored in SQL Server as "yyyy-mm-dd" when using the DATE data type. This is also how it displays when I pull it into my Access front-end (even if I set the field's format to Short Date.)
I'd like to be able to display it based on the user's regional settings. I know I can use the FORMAT method in VBA to change it to mm/dd/yyyy, but I have users in other countries and I don't want to have to maintain a number of different versions.
Any idea how I can automatically display the date in my MS Access form based on the user's regional settings?
Thanks.

Your solution, however, does not address the root of the problem. Access thinks it is a text field because there is no such thing as a 'Date' data type in Access. You will run into problems anywhere in Access, that you expect it to perform as
a Date/Time field. E.G. sorting, filtering. 'Date' is one of the newer data types in SQL Server 2008+. You should be using SQL Server DateTime or SmallDateTime data type. Access will recognize those as a Date/Time data type and treat them accordingly.

Manipulate data of a SQL SERVER 2000 database

Problem:
I need to manipulate data of a SQL SERVER 2000 database that itâs installed in a Windows
from an oracle 8.1.7 database that is installed in a red hat linux server.
This access has to be made in a procedure created in this Oracle instance.
The Solutionâs Environment:
- oracle 8.1.7 database - red hat linux server - ORCL INSTANCE
- SQL SERVER 2000 version 5.0 database - Windows server - SQLSERV INSTANCE
- Oracle 8.1.7 database - windows 2000 professional server - HSDB INSTANCE
We did the following steps:
1) We installed an oracle database 8.1.7 in the windows 2000 professional.
The name of this instance is HSDB.
2) We configured the HSODBC resource in this HSDB instance so as to access the SQLSERVER database.
3) It was created a database link in the ORCL instance (LINUX) so as to access the oracle HSDB instance
4) It was created a procedure in the ORCL instance that insert data into the SQLSERVER database using the database link.
This procedure pass through the following instances:
ORCL Instance (database link) => HSDB Instance (HS Resource) => SQLSERV Instance
5) When I execute this simple procedure of the ORCL Instance, the process takes a long time. Although if I run this insert on a SQL Plus, the transaction ends fast. Why itâs happening?
PROCEDURE PRC_TESTE(P_CD_CMC7 IN VARCHAR2) IS

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ERROR '||SQLERRM);
END;
COMMIT;
END;
Tranks

I modified the PRC_TESTE procedure and worked fine when I made the following change.
In spite of using the P_CD_CMC7 parameter on the INSERT command, I included a fixed value. Althoug I canÂ´t use this fixed value. What it can be?
Example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PRC_TESTE(P_CD_CMC7 IN VARCHAR2)
IS
BEGIN
BEGIN
INSERT INTO VSolicitacaoRetirada@MSSQLDB
("CMC7")
VALUES
('123456');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN

END;
COMMIT;

RH server 8 - upscaling from Access to SQL Server 2008?

Hi gang-
We are currently running RoboHelp Server 8 on the default Access database and Tomcat. We would like to increase the number of help projects that are tracked by the RH Server, and have concerns that Access will handle the increased load, so we are considering upsizing to SQL Server 2008.
Our IT people think this should be fairly straightforward, but want to know if Adobe provides any tool or has any recommendations when upsizing from Access to SQL Server.They are concerned about retaining things like primary and secondary keys, as well as any indexes that are currently in Access.
If anyone has experience with such a migration, please share!
Thanks,
-=Ed.

We are also currently on an Access DB and considering (have been for some time but that's a different story) upgrading to SQL Server. There is no migration tool from Access to SQL Server provided so you'd have to allow some additional effort if you want to retain the data. I am not an expert on DBs but I'm sure there are ways to migrate the data. I have found a few links when searching on Google. For example:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237980
Adobe does provide a cheat sheet at the link below which may be useful to you.

Issue while accessing a SQL Server table over OTG

Hi,
I have been learning oracle for about 1.5 years and am just starting to learn some OTG pieces. I am wondering about an issue. The issue is:
"We need help with an issue we are having while accessing a SQL Server table over OTG. We are getting the following error message in Oracle :
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Oracle][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unicode conversion failed {HY000}
The column it is failing on is "-----------" in the view --------------- in the SQL Server database pointed to by the Oracle DB Link ------------------- thats created in the Oracle instances ---- and -----.
This was working before, but is now failing, we suspect its due to new multi-byte data being added to the base table in the above column."
I took out the details and added ---- instead. I am wondering your guys thoughts on fixing this issue and helping me learn along the way. Thanks

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response, here are the details:
1. What is the character set of the Oracle RDBMS being used. What is returned by -
select * from nls_database_parameters;
NLS_CHARACTERSET
AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
UTF8
We get SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_C1_AS and 1252 as Collation Property and Code Page
The datatype of the column in question in SQL Server is nvarchar(100).
When I do a describe on the SQL Server view ( desc CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@------- ), I get the error below;
ERROR: object CK_DATA_FOR_OPL does not exist
Select * from CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@------ where rownum =1 does get me a row.
create table tmp_tab as
Select * from CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@----- where rownum =1;
desc tmp_tab shows the datatype of the said column in the table created in Oracle as NVARCHAR2(150).
Not sure why a column defined with size 100 in SQL Server should come across as 150 when seen over OTG. We see something similar in DB2 tables we access over OTG as well.

What is the best NLS config to be near the ACCESS or SQL Server characters set

Hi all,
I am working with an Oracle for Windows.
I have serious problems with my actual characters set.
What is the best NLS config to be near the ms-Access or SQL Server characters set behavior ?
For exemple :
I have a table with city names
I want to find the nearest >= city name of a given criteria. so i do this SQL
SELECT Nom FROM TLCommune WHERE Nom >= 'LIMOGES' ORDER BY Nom, Pays, Dept, Insee
This SELECT give this result under SQL plus worksheet (same via VB and ADO)
Why the cities from krosno to Limerick are listed regarding on the WHERE clause Nom >= 'LIMOGES' ?
NOM
krosno
La Manche et la Mer d'Irlande
Laesv
Lancashire
Landes
Lappi (Lappland)
Latviya
Legnica
Leicester and Rutland
Leipzig
Leningrad
NOM
Leon
Lirida
Leszno
Liberec
Libiria
Libye
Limburg
Limburg (Limbourg)
Limerick
LIMOGES <--------------------------------------- the city in the nom >= 'LIMOGES' in the SQL statement
LIMOGES-FOURCHES

Hi,
Try these steps:-
* Open the GUI of Root bridge
Go to Security/SSID Manager/create SSid/map it to the radio
* Under Client Authentication setting
Check the box Open authentication with no Addition ..
* Then click Apply
* Go to Ecryption Manager page
Under Ecryption Modes
Select Cipher ---TKIP
Under Encryption Keys
Select Encryption Key 2 ------Don't put any key ... Leave the box blank and key size be 128bit
Then click Apply
* Come back to SSID Manager page
Under Client Authenticated Key Management ..
Select Key Management:- Mandatory
Check the box:- WPA
Under WPA Pre-shared Key:- Type atleast 8 character key..
Click Apply:-
* Then we need to repeat the same settings on Other bridge except the station role will be non-root.
Now to troubleshoot...
* First make Bridge are able to talk to each when there is on security setup
* Set a simple Pre-shared Key ... example 1234567890 on both bridge .. Bridge will not associate if key mismatch..
Hope this will work for you.

Comments not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server. SDDM 3.3.0.747

Hi,
SDDM 3.3.0.747 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
Comments are not imported from Data Dictionary of SQL Server 2008. Connection through Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server or jTDS 1.2.7
What I have tried? In SDDM DDL generation, Comments in DBRMS for SQL Server are generated with "EXEC sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description' , 'Test Comment' ..." so I added extended property named "MS_Description" into SQL Server database, both on table and column. None of them were imported from Data Dictionary into SSDM. I have tried both drivers stated above. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've found similar question thread Re: Data dictionary import doesn't import column comments for SDDM 3.0.0.665, so I guess it is a bug when importing with JDBC drivers.

Extended properties were not imported correctly from SQLServer databases at DM 3.3.0.747.
Calls to sp_addextendedproperty and fn_listextendedproperty have been modified.
I don't think it is a problem with JDBC drivers.
A bug fix should be available in the next release of DM.

Best way to Import Data from a SQL Server Table?

Hi,
Firstly thanks for looking at this question.
We need to import data into SAP BPC 5.1 on a twice daily basis and have chosen not to export to a .CSV file but instead to hold all data in a SQL table and import it directly from there. As part of the import we wish to run the default logic, however only over the data which is imported as opposed to having to running default logic over the entire database after every import.
We did some research on this topic and the only thing we could find that would work as described above is using the "Import SQL" package. However we keep experiencing problems with it and have not yet been able to run it successfully; the errors it gives are not consistent from run to run which makes it difficult to start a thread, though we are getting help from the helpdesk at the moment.
My question here though is - is there another way that someone knows of to import data into SAP BPC from a SQL table, and being able to run default logic over just the data being imported, or is our only hope getting the "Import SQL" package working?
Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
Iain
Forgot to mention details of our environment:
SAP BPC v5.0.495, 2 server environment -
Server 1 (DB/AS/SSIS/File server) = 64bit Windows 2k3 server with 64bit SQL Server Enterprise Edition
Server 2 (IIS/App server) = 32bit Windows 2k3 server
Edited by: Iain Hambleton on Jun 17, 2008 3:25 PM

Lain,
I recently created SSIS packages that need to work with a staging table that does all kind of manipulations of that data before it is loading into SAP BPC, because it also has to load the data in the drillthrough table within the same package. From one point in my package the data is also in a SQL table so basically the same as in your situation. This also works with an export to CSV within the DTSX file like Alwin said, because in this case you can use the standard transformation and conversion stuff during the load.
I also needed to limit the data region for logic to the data region that is in the load for currency conversion purposes. This is not very much of a problem. I had a situation where I have an Accounts receivable cube containing a daily time dimension for keyduedates and a datasrc dimension containing weeks. Every week has a complete overview of the open AR items in that week and need to be converted for that week (datasrc) only and not for the whole database every time we load. But by default data would be converted based on the Keyduedates dimension while I wanted the Week dimension to be used as the data region. I solved it by using these rows in the logic:
*Scope_by=version,Weeks
*xdim_memberset weeks=%weeks_set%
*xdim_memberset version = %version_set%
I can send you the SSIS package and logic if you want. Just send me your details then.

Accessing MS Sql Server with Java classes - problem connecting to socket

I found an example at this location which uses java classes to connected to MS Sql Server.
http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci1065992,00.html
--bummer - it is a login location - so I will include the article
Anyway, the example is using Websphere, but I am still on Jbuilder (will get wsad soon). So I planted the classes from the example in
C:\Borland\JBuilder\jkd1.4\jre\lib\ext\...the classes
Then I copied the code from the example to my jpx project and got an error that it could not connect to the socket. The only thing I changed in the code was the connection string:
--original string from example:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://1433", "");
I was getting an error with the 2 argument version of DriverManager - and the second argument here was empty (properties argument). Here was my connection string:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://Myserver:1433;User=sa;Password=");
I am only using the 1 argument version of DriverManager. Note that the password=" is blank because my RnD workstation is standalone - no one accesses the sql server except me - so no password. I also left out the last semicolon I noticed. Any suggestions appreciated how I could fix this.
Thanks

Sample code: Accessing MS SQL Server database from the iSeries
Eitan Rosenberg
09 Mar 2005
Rating: --- (out of 5)
Nowadays with the help of Java the iSeries can be integrated with other databases quite easy. This tip shows you how. The code included here uses the free Microsoft driver that can be downloaded from here. (SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3)
If your SQL server does not include the Northwind Sample Database you can find it here.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=07287b11-0502-461a-b138-2aa54bfdc03a&displaylang=en
The download contains the following files:
msbase.jar
mssqlserver.jar
msutil.jar
Those files needs to be copied to the iSeries directories (/home/r_eitan/ExternalJARs).
Here's the directory structure (on the iSeries) for this sample:
/home/r_eitan/ExternalJARs - Microsoft files (msbase.jar,mssqlserver.jar,msutil.jar)
/home/r_eitan/JdbcTest02 - My code (Main.java,Main.class)
The Java code
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
class Main {
* Connect to Microsoft SQL server and download file northWind.products as tab
* seperated file. (products.txt)
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
PrintStream outPut = new PrintStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("products.txt")));
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
//Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://1433", "");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://Myserver:1433;User=sa;Password=");
System.out.println("Connection Done");
connection.setCatalog("northWind");
String sqlCmdString = "select * from products";
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(sqlCmdString);
ResultSetMetaData resultSetMetaData = resultSet.getMetaData();
int columnCount = resultSetMetaData.getColumnCount();
// Iterate throught the rows in resultSet and
// output the columns for each row.
while (resultSet.next()) {
for (int index = 1; index <=columnCount; ++index)
String value;
switch(resultSetMetaData.getColumnType(index))
case 2 :
case 3 :
value = resultSet.getString(index);
break;
default :
value = """ + resultSet.getString(index) + """;
break;
outPut.print(value + (index < columnCount ? "t" : ""));
outPut.println();
outPut.close();
resultSet.close();
connection.close();
System.out.println("Done");
catch (SQLException exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
catch (Exception exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My guess is that the server's host name isn't right. It necessarily (or even usually) the "windows name" of the computer. Try with the numeric IP address instead (type "ipconfig" to see it).
First aid check list for "connection refused":
- Check host name in connect string.
- Check port number in connect string.
- Try numeric IP address of server host in connect string, in case name server is hosed.
- Are there any firewalls between client and server blocking the port.
- Check that the db server is running.
- Check that the db server is listening to the port. On the server, try: "telnet localhost the-port-number". Or "netstat -an", there should be a listening entry for the port.
- Try "telnet serverhost the-port-number" from the client, to see if firewalls are blocking it.
- If "telnet" fails: try it with the numeric ip address.
- If "telnet" fails: does it fail immediately or after an obvious timeout? How long is the timeout?
- Does the server respond to "ping serverhost" or "telnet serverhost" or "ssh serverhost"?
