Decimal of SQL Server getting converted to Whole number in ORACLE

Hi All,
I am using ORACLESQL Developer tool to migrate database from SQL Server to ORACLE. The decimal datatype in Sql Server is not getting converted to its equivalent in ORACLE. Do anyone face the same problem? Its getting converted to WHOLE number.
Also I am able to import data only from Excel sheet. Is therre any other option to import data using this tool?
Also is the tool the best to use for migration? Please give me your suggestions pls since I am facing this conversion problem after import lakhs of data.
I am using version 1.1.3
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivasan.T

I have upgraded to the version mentioned by you. Even now it is not getting upgraded. I am exporting data using Excel sheet only. Is it possible for you to explain how to migrate data thru SQL * PLUS?
Thanks,
Srinivasan.T

DB LINK Oracle to SQL Server SQL Server TimeStamp converts to Oracle Date

Hi All,
I have created a DB link between Oracle 10g 10.2.0.5 to SQL server 2005 using Oracle 11g gateway. When I execute a query from Oracle that selects data from SQL server using the DBLINK then the column value of type Timestamp from SQL server gets converted to Date data type in Oracle and it losses the time value.
Is there some way (in gateway configurations or in select query sql ) that the SQL server data type Timestamp gets converted to Oracle's Timestamp?
Please help.
Best Regards!

Edited by: irf_mas on Mar 13, 2012 3:23 AM

You're getting the ORA-2070 error as the gateway that you are using is not supporting the to_timestamp function in this context. You need to rewrite the code.
Best would be if you first check out the data format that is sent as a string when you just select the date column - for example:
data_create_dt
Jan 11 2012 1:40PM
Now the easiest way is to make sure the format you are using in your where clause matches the string from the SQL Server:
select * from "data_ms_view"@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3 where "data_create_dt"<'Jan 11 2012 1:41PM';
which will result in:
data_create_dt
Jan 11 2012 1:40PM
BTW,
it works with all formats the SQL Server understands:
SQL> select * from "data_ms_view"@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3 where "data_create_dt">'11-JAN-12 01.40.00.000000000 AM';
data_create_dt
Jan 11 2012 1:40PM
Another way using binds:
SQL> variable datum varchar2(26);
SQL> exec select to_char(systimestamp,'MON dd yyyy hh:mi') into :datum from dual;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print datum
DATUM
MAR 19 2012 08:29
SQL> select * from "data_ms_view"@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3 where "data_create_dt" <:datum;
data_create_dt
Jan 11 2012 1:40PM
There are several ways to get a result, just make sure you don't use an unsupported function in your statement. A list of supported functions is found in the manual.

How to get only the whole number omitting the decimals

Hi Experts,
I want to get only the whole number of a output field. For example i am getting an output as 8.766 , i need only the value 8 .
I checked by moving the values to integer field but i am getting the rounding value 9 .
I want only the whole value 8.
Please help me out..
thanks & Regards.
Reena..

Hi Reena,
Unfortunately when you assign a packed number to a character, numeric or even a packed no without a decimal value SAP does a internal conversion of rounding these value. So direct assignment would won't work for your case.
You can use the following logic instead for getting the whole number.
DATA : LV_VAR1 TYPE STRING,
            LV_VAR2 type p DECIMALS 3 value '8.766'.
LV_VAR1 = lV_VAR2.   " LV_VAR1 would contain 8.766 without rounding.
write : LV_VAR1(1).   " LV_VAR1(1) contains 8 which you can assign to any target variable.
I think there is no addition so as to avoid this internal rounding.
Try and let me know if it works for you..
Cheers

Data Pump .xlsx into a SQL Server Table and the whole 32-Bit, 64-Bit discussion

First of all...I have a headache!
Found LOTS of Google hits when trying to data pump a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table. And the whole discussion of the Microsoft ACE 64-Bit Driver or the Microsoft Jet 32-Bit Driver.
Specifically receiving this error...
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Office Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "External table is not in the expected format.".
Error: 0xC020801C at Data Flow Task to Load Alere Coaching Enrolled, Excel Source [56]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"
failed with error code 0xC0202009.
Strangely enough, if I simply data pump ONE .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table utilizing my SSIS Package, it seems to work fine. If instead I am trying to be pro-active and allowing for multiple .xlsx Files by using a Foreach Loop Container and a variable
@[User::FileName], it's erroring out...but not really because it is indeed storing the rows onto the SQL Server Table. I did check all my Delay
Why does this have to be sooooooo difficult???
Can anyone help me out here in trying to set-up a SSIS Package in a rather constrictive environment to pump a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table? What in God's name am I doing wrong? Or is all this a misnomer? But if it's working how do I disable the error
so that is stops erroring out?

Hi ITBobbyP,
According to your description, when you import data of .xlsx file to SQL Server database, you got the error message.
The error can be caused by the following reasons:
The excel file is locked by other processes. Please kindly resave this file and name it to other file name to see if the issue will be fixed.
The ACE(Access Database Engine) is not up to date as Vaibhav mentioned. Please download the latest ACE and install it from the link:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255.
The version of OFFICE and server bitness is not the same. To solve the problem, please refer to the following document:
http://hrvoje.piasevoli.com/2010/09/01/importing-data-from-64-bit-excel-in-ssis/
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Use a SQL SERVER get date in query

I want to constrain my returned data by a change date to just return the last rolling 30 days of data. When I use sysdate, I find the plan is to retreive ALL data across the dblink, and then filter it on the Oracle side.
Is there any way I can use the Sql Server getdate() function, something like
select * from remote@ss_link
where upd_date >= getdate() - 30
Problem - how do I get Oracle to pass the Sql Server specific function call to Sql Server? [BTW I'm on an old version of Oracle...]

It depends on the product you are using.
If you are using a gateway you can call remote functions using the getdate@<db link> syntax as described in the Heterogeneous Admin Guide.
For gateways and generic connectivity you can also use PASSTHROUGH which allows you to pass a statement as it is to the remote database.
Or at least you can create a view at the SQL Server side which returns the last 30 days and then just select from this view.

Migrating from Sql server get SQL Error: ORA-00936: missing expression

All,
I'm migrating from Sql Server to oracle 10g and I'm getting a
"SQL Error: ORA-00936: missing expression" error
when the following create table statement is executed. It appears 10g does not like the CREATE DEFAULT xxxx as xxx syntax. Any ideas??
CREATE TABLE EnvCapitalOtherCostAtom (
EnvID CHAR(36) NOT NULL,
CapitalID CHAR(36) NOT NULL,
Seq FLOAT DEFAULT
CREATE DEFAULT D_Set_To_Zero
     AS 0
NOT NULL,
AtomID CHAR(36) DEFAULT
CREATE DEFAULT D_NewGUID
     AS newid
NOT NULL,
AtomName VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
AtomName_dqa NUMBER(5,0) DEFAULT
CREATE DEFAULT D_DQA_Dflt
     AS 10
NOT NULL,

record_dqa NUMBER(5,0) DEFAULT
CREATE DEFAULT D_Record_DQA

NOT NULL
);

Hi Chris,
not sure SQL Server accepts the syntax you provided either. Even more I have checked MSDN(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173565.aspx) and they recommend:
Avoid using CREATE DEFAULT in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use it. Instead, use default definitions created using the DEFAULT keyword of ALTER TABLE or CREATE TABLE. CREATE DEFAULT will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server.
In Oracle you should do the same either use DEFAULT in CREATE TABLE statement or in ALTER TABLE, have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/adfns_constraints.htm#sthref626 for more details.
The proper Oracle syntax for your DDL should be something like:
CREATE TABLE EnvCapitalOtherCostAtom (
EnvID CHAR(36) NOT NULL,
CapitalID CHAR(36) NOT NULL,
Seq FLOAT DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
AtomID CHAR(36) DEFAULT SYS_GUID() NOT NULL,
AtomName VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
AtomName_dqa NUMBER(5,0) DEFAULT 10 NOT NULL,
CreatedOnTimeStamp TIMESTAMP(6) NOT NULL,
LastEditedOnTimeStamp TIMESTAMP(6) NOT NULL,
TFDubh_dqa NUMBER(5,0),
record_flags NUMBER(5,0) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
record_dqa NUMBER(5,0) DEFAULT 30 NOT NULL
);

Problems with SQL server 2008 nvarchar type to varchar in oracle.

Hello
I did an Heterogeneous Connectivity between SQL server 2008 db and Oracle 11g, so far so good, but when i try to view colum data on RPD (only varchar type) i only see the first character of the string.
One more thing, when i try to see the data on Oracle SQL developer i get some strange characters, like when we have the wrong character encoding on our browser.
Some print to illustrate the problem.
Oracle SQL developer query:
http://postimg.org/image/5cvyqw6ih/
Microsoft SQL developer query :
http://postimg.org/image/skddx991f/
RPD printscreen :
http://postimg.org/image/aok2337cp/
SQLplus (as you can see the are spaces between the characters ) :
http://postimg.org/image/664xw1xjh/
To finish the data will be use to build an mobile app with oracle mobile app designer.
Thank you

The spaces you see between the characters when using the gateway indicate a wrong charset is being used.
1. Which gateway are you using - DG4MSQL or Dg4ODBC?
2. Could you please post the gateway init file and just in case it is DG4ODBC also the odbc.ini file
3. What's the character set of the Oracle database?
4. Looks like you're connected using Putty to a Unix box - what is the Putty NLS setting?
5. What is the NLS setting when starting SQL*Plus and what is the LOCALE setting?
6. Was a NLS_LANG parameter set when the gateway was started? Please change in your gateway init file the HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL to DEBUG, then run again the query and post it to a share.
=> There's a note that guides you step by step to configure the gateway and your env correctly - please have a look at:
NLS Guide for Generic Connectivity and Gateways (Doc ID 230239.1)

Hello Andy,
It seems that you are getting error in Class.forName(). Check whether the driver is included in the classpath or not. If you still get error, check by printing debugging message on console, on which line you are getting error.
Hope this helps.

How to convert raw to number in oracle 8

Does anyone know how to convert a raw data to number format ???
If i do: select dump(50,16) from dual, it will return bytes c1 33.
With this bytes in a raw variable, how can i convert it to a number variable in Oracle 8.
PS: Oracle 8 doesn't have utl_raw.cast_to_number function...
Thanx.

Thanx for help... But...
This examples are very usefull, but only converts a value in HEX to number.
In my case, i need a routine that convert the bytes of value 50 (i.e. 2 bytes -> C1 33) into a number variable. If i only use hex to number, will return wrong value. I need to convert this bytes (C1 33) into original number, i mean, value 50.
Using dump function for 50, will return C1 33...
How can i make to convert C1 33 back to value 50??
I think that is the same of the utl_raw.cast_to_number, but i'm using Oracle 8, and this function is in Oracle 9...
Anyone have idea ??

Whow to get the error line number in Oracle 9i

I am using Oracle 9i, In my procedure i am getting exception in When Others section, but unable to trace that from where it is throughing.... the procedure is about 2500 line of code. In Oracle 10g we can use dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace to catch the line number....
So, is there any workaround in Oracle 9i to get the line number ????

CONVERT function in SQL Server to oracle

All,
How to convert CONVERT function in SQL Server to oracle, below mentioned format is in SQL Server:
variable1 = convert(numeric(20), SUBSTRING( parameter1,parameter2,parameter3)
parameter1 datatype nvarchar2(100)
parameter2 datatype bigint
parameter3 datatype bigint
I did bit R&D, but was not successful..but still getting on..
If any help that would be great...
Regards,
~ORA

You cannot specify the precision/scale or length of input paramters to a stored procedure in Oracle, or at least the pl/sql engine does not respect the sizing. Assuming that you want to do something with variable1 in the procedure, and not just return it, the Oracle equivalent would be something along the lines of:
SQL> CREATE FUNCTION f (p_param1 IN VARCHAR2,
2                     p_param2 IN NUMBER,
3                     p_param3 IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
4     l_var1 NUMBER(20) := SUBSTR(p_param1, p_param2, p_param3);
5 BEGIN
6     RETURN l_var1 * 10;
7 END;
8 /
Function created.
SQL> SELECT f('ABC10DEF', 4, 2) FROM dual;
F('ABC10DEF',4,2)
              100You may need to adjust the return type to match what you are actually returning.
You can also use this iin a direct assignment in pl/sql without doig a select, something like:
SQL> DECLARE
2     l_num NUMBER(20);
3 BEGIN
4     l_num := f('ABC10DEF', 4, 2);
5     DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line('The number is: '||l_num);
6 END;
7 /
The number is: 100John

Sql Developer wont convert Sql Server to Oracle lob w Oracle 11gr2 client

I have the Sql Developer 2.1.1.64 loaded on a Windows machine accessing Oracle 11g release 2 database on a linux box with no jre. I have the latest version of java (1.6.0.21) and jdk (6 u 21). When I loaded Oracle 11g r2 client onto my windows box, all sql server tables could be moved to my Oracle repository except tables that converted from a Sql Server 2005 type of nvarchar(max) to nclob. I would just get every row in the error column during the move.
Turns out when I uninstalled the Oracle 11g r2 client and installed the Oracle 11g r1 client, it worked.

I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum. This is the Berkeley DB Java Edition forum.
