Error in Migration from SQL Server to Oracle latest version

I am following the steps in the notes
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/files/omwb_getstarted.html#capt
I was doing great (connected and captured SQL Server db and Oracle etc) till I ran the Generation Script which is giving me errors since I do not have DBO/admin permissions to create users.
I wish to create the database within an existing user's database schema - that is in my schema since I do not have privileges to create users.
What lines do I change in the script to make this happen.
PLEASE HELP

You should remove the create user ..., grant ... and connect ... statements from the script. All you should keep are the DDLs for creating the objects: tables, views, triggers, sequences, SPs ...
But why don't you download Oracle Database Express Edition (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/index.html) and play with it. You can install it easily on your machine and then you can create as many users/schemas as you want as you are the DBA :).

Migrating from SQL Server to Oracle 8i

Hi all :),
I am trying to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle 9i.
I am using the Migration Workbench.
Everything goes fine during Capturing phase, but while
creating Oracle model the Workbench just hangs at
"Mapping Tablespaces" for over three hours.
(not exactly hangs in the sense that it responds to mouse
events and I can abort the ongoing activity ...)
What should I do ? Should I let it go on and see what
happens.
I follow each and every step as mentioned in the
documentation ... but obviously I am doing something
wrong. Any pointers ???
However ... if I try to migrate to Personal Oracle 8 ...
the migration goes fine from start to end ... just that
the SQL Server triggers aren't successfully migrated.

You may want to start by downloading the Oracle Migration Workbench. That generally does a reasonable job in moving the tables, stored procedures, etc. from SQL Server to Oracle. If your VB code is database agnostic, it should continue to work without any more intervention. Realistically, however, you'll rpobably have to at least tweak a few things that don't work the same way in the old ODBC/ OLE DB provider and the new one.
The hard part of migrations like this is that you may need to revisit some of your architectural decisions if you want Oracle to perform well. There are plenty of things that one does in SQL Server (i.e. frequent commits) to improve performance that have the opposite affect in Oracle. Identifying and fixing these sorts of things tends to be the largest part of a migration like this. Unfortunately, I don't know of a resource that talks addresses all the possible gotchas here.

Migrating from SQL Server to ORACLE using SqlDeveloper tool - IN OUT CURSOR

Hi All,
I am new to Oracle. I am asked to migrate a database from SQL Server to ORACLE. I have migrated all the SP's and functions except 2. I am facing the following problem. Pls do reply me if anyone knows the solution since I am struggling for the past 2 days for these two functions
the function is as follows in ORACLE.
create or replace
FUNCTION ABC
AA IN VARCHAR2,
BB IN DATE,
CV_1 IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
When I tried to call from some other function its showing me an error.
I called from another function as follows:
ABC(CC,DD,CV_2);
Shall I know how to call the above function? I feel someone has faced the same problem before. Thanks in advance for the help.
Thanks,
Srinivasan.T

Its returing a number only. I am just giving part of the function.
create or replace
FUNCTION ABC
AA IN VARCHAR2,
DD IN DATE,
CV_1 IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
RETURN NUMBER
AS
When I call the function which has a IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR as a parameter I am facing this problem.
I need to know how to call a function which has the IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR parameter.

Migration from SQL Server to Oracle 8i

Hi,
what are the general issues to be considered when migrating a database from SQL server to Oracle 8i.
Is it documented on the web/ or any publication
Samit

What we did was to create the schema using migration work bench and then transfer the data using data junction
The main issues that you have to handle are
1) Data type issue, here problem comes converting chars to varchars as chars are padded and may not work in indexes, so you have to trim the afterwards, and if you have any image type data types in Sqlserver, you can use either lobs or long raw, it again depends upon your application, if you uses lobs you may have to recode your application
2) Sql statements, Oracle cannot understand Sqlserver sql statements, so you have to convert them all. Sqlserver allows two outerjoins to a table, Oracle does not, so you have to modify your functionality
3) Connections to the database. if you are using ODBC then use Oracle ODBC drivers and the latest ones, otherwise you may encounter memory leaks.
These are from the top of my head, if you have any specific problem I may be able to help.
Good luck

ODBC Error when migrating from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Anywhere 12

Hello community,
i have the following requirement:
I need to migrate a Database with some Demo data into a SQL Anywhere 12 Database. The SQL Anywhere 12 Database is part of the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP7 installation and came with the same as OEM Product.
The Environment looks like the following:
DB1 is a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 64 Bit running on Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit.
DB2 is the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP7 installation with the shipped SQL Anywhere 12 (12.0.1.3873) Database running on SLES 11.3 64 Bit
CL1 is my Windows 7 64 Bit Client where Sybase Central is installed in 64 Bit. On CL1 i have a 64 Bit System ODBC Connection connecting to DB1 successfully.
Basically i followed the following (pretty straight forward) tutorial:
Migrating a SQL Server Database to SQL Anywhere White Paper-Technical: Mobile Enterprise, Database Management iAnywhere …
When i want to test the connection from inside Sybase Central (During the migration process) i receive the following error:
From inside Sybase Central my connection looks as follows:
And from the ODBC Manager the connection looks as follows:
Personally i found is strange that the Sybase ODBC Driver Manager drops the error. I would expect that the MS SQL ODBC Driver Manager pops the error it its related to the ODBC DSN to DB1.
Any ideas?
Thanks and Regards
-Seb.

Hi Sebastian,
The data from the SQL Server database must be migrated to an existing SQL Anywhere database. Could you please tell me where this SQL Anywhere database resides and how are you connecting to it?
The error message is saying that the connection to the SQL Anywhere remote database server is failing, as opposed to the connection to the SQL Server database.

Migration from SQL server to Oracle

Hi,
Has anybody done migration from the SQL server to Oracle? If so, what manual method do you recommend? I'm a new college grad and I would like to get your expertise, if you have done this in the past.
Thanks in advance!
Sho

It is some time back, so I do not remember the specifics. Oracle gives Oracle Migration Workbench for free. You can use it to convert all SQL tables and procedures etc to oracle. It is not that difficult. If there are no stored procedures etc, you can just extract the DDL and create the tables with minor changes to the script. You might need bcp-sqlloader/trasparent gateway etc copy the data.

Migration from SQL Server to Oracle database

I have got 2 questions:
1. We are planning to convert our OLTP sql server databases to oracle databases. I tried using SQL Developer to migrate a small sql server database to oracle database(size 5Gb). It was fine. when I tried to migrate another database(size 90G), it is taking too long. The problem with sql developer is I cannot choose and pick tables. out of 250 tables, I need to migrate abt 80 tables(size will be abt 50G). can anybody share their experiences, if any, in converting medium size sql server databases to oracle databases? any others options??
2. I am planning to convert sql server ddl to oracle ddl. I am testing bcp out and use sql loader to import the data. Right now, I am manually creating oracle tables from sql server tables. I am using http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/gateways.112/e12069/apa.htm#BABCIIDI to convert the code. Are there any other better ways to convert sql server DDL to Oracle DDL?
Thanks in advance

DDLs should be converted manually. Oracle is not SQL-Server.
If you for example have the partitioning option, you should consider using partitioning and local indexes where possible. Not all tables need to be hash tables. Do you defer segment creation or not? What is the type of tablespace? Do you set percentages for free and used to manage when the data block is on the free list and how much is reserved in the data block for updating rows in that block?
There are numerous considerations to make in terms of the physical database design.
Using BCP and SQL*Loader sound good. SQL*Loader is fast and scalable - am using it to load up to 3.6 million rows every 60 seconds. Direct and parallel loads provide the best performance in this regard (assuming that the underlying table structure and usage supports this approach).

Migration from SQL Server to Oracle issue

Hi,
While trying to migrate SQL Server to Oracle via Standard Migration method, I got stuck at the point where it says.....
To perform online capture, right-click the connection name in the Connections navigator and select Capture database-type (for example, Capture MySQL, Capture Microsoft Access, Capture Microsoft SQL Server, or Capture Sybase Adaptive Server).
The problem is that, I do not see this menu Capture Microsoft SQL Server. Looks like this is a bug SQL Developer 3, which does not shows option for Capture on right clicking the non-oracle database connection. In earlier release of SQL Developer 2.1.1, I can see the option of Catture...
Thanks,
Gyan

Gyan,
You are correct. The online help screen says -
<<<
Online Capture
To perform an online capture of the source database, you can have the capture performed automatically as part of the Quick Migrate option, or you can have it performed as a separate operation by right-clicking the connection name in the Connections navigator and selecting Capture product-name (for example, Capture MySQL, Capture Microsoft Access, Capture Microsoft SQL Server, or Capture Sybase Adaptive Server).
>>>
but this option does not show up.
I did some testing and was able to make the capture by following these steps -
- right click on the SQL*Server database in the Connections panel
- choose 'Migrate to Oracle'
- follow the menus until you get to 'Capture' screen where you should have the SQL*Server database to be migrated in the 'Selected Databases' panel
- then choose 'Finish' from the options at bottom of the screen.
- you should then have the capture scripts in the directory chosen earlier in the process.

Mike

Migration from SQL server to Oracle 10g

Hi, I am new here,
I would like to ask how to use SQL developer MWB to migration SQL Server to Oracle?
I have go through the doc(s) like: getting start, user's guild, etc. and have following problems
(1), where should the SQL developer installed? in SQL Server side? Oracle side? or any PC with connection to the databases?
(2), do I need to get some plug-in(s) for MWB to work? If yes, which plug-in do I need and where are they?
Thank you very much.

Hi Chocobo,
I put together a Quick Guide myself

Migrate Data action hanging migrating from sql server to Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am currently migrating a SQL Server 2005 db to Oracle 10g using SQL Developer 1.2.1. I have created the migration repository, captured the SQL Server db objects, and created the target schema. There are about 109 tables captured. During Data migration, however, the data move hangs. I have run the data move a couple of times now and it does not hang while migrating any particular table, but seems to be more to do with the length of time it is taking to migrate. Could this be an issue with SQL Server connections being lost? The SQL Server db is quite large. Row counts of 100k plus.

Probably. There is an offline option for migrating data under the migration menu. Generate Scripts for the data move using the appropriate converted model and u can export the data to bcp export files and load it with teh generated SQL Loader scripts.

Problem with foreign and primary keys migration from SQL Server to Oracle

Hi folks, i'm using SQL Developer to migrate from a SQL Server database to Oracle and i'm stuck with a couple issues:
The worst of them so far is the fact that i can't migrate any of the PKs and FKs. After successfully capturing the SQL Server DB model and converting it to Oracle, when the tool generates the scripts, all ALTER TABLE queries that add the PKs and FKs have their target columns duplicated.
for example: when i'm trying to migrate a simple table that contains an Id (PK) and Name columns, the tool generates the following scripts:
PROMPT Creating Table TestTable...
CREATE TABLE TestTable (
Id NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL,
Name VARCHAR2 NOT NULL
PROMPT Creating Primary Key Constraint PK_TestTable on table TestTable ...
ALTER TABLE TestTable
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TestTable PRIMARY KEY
Id,
Id
ENABLE
As for the FKs, the tool duplicates the columns as well:
ALTER TABLE SomeTable
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_SomeTable_SomeTable2 FOREIGN KEY
SomeTable2Id,
SomeTable2Id
REFERENCES SomeTable2
Id,
Id
ENABLE
Does anyone have a clue on how to solve these issues? I'd be greatly thankful for any answers!

Hi Fernando,
I was unable to replicate this issue. My primary / foreign keys where defined using unique columns.
PROMPT Creating Primary Key Constraint PK_Suppliers on table Suppliers ...
ALTER TABLE Suppliers
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Suppliers PRIMARY KEY
SupplierID
ENABLE
I tried a few things like
capturing twice and renaming both models the same
renaming the converted models
but with no luck.
I think this issue is occuring either at the capture or convert phase.
1) Are you performing the capture online or offline?
2) Can you provide a the entire DDL for one of these tables and its indexes to see if I can replicate?
3) Did the capture or convert fail or have to be redone at any stage ?
I all else fails I would attempt a capture and convert again using a brand new repository (create a new schema in Oracle and associate the migration repository with it).

Migration from sql server to oracle db

I would like to hear about possible options of migrate JD Edwards on SQL Server (about 50GB) and want to convert to Oracle 9i/10g Release.
Please let me know the efforts required besides data migration. Did anyone done this migration on JDEdwards application and would like to hear the complexities involved in the SQL/Stored Proc/Trigger Conversions
thanks.

Hello
the following are the steps that gives you overview on SQL db->Oracle db migration. However I strongly recommend you to take field consultant's support considering the complexities in data migration.
1. Create an Add on server plan for the new Database server.
2. Create the database and users in your database.
Create the DB's & JDE users in Oracle to hold the copies of the tables you want to keep. I would suggest creating DB's with the same names that JDE recommends within an NT/Oracle installation - see the Installation guide for details. Those names are as follows, however, you can put everything in one DB if you want:
JDE812
This holds System, Server Map, Object Librarian and Data Dictionary tables. For other releases this DB may be named JDE7333 (Xe), JDE7334 (ERP8), JDE9 (8.9), or PS811 (8.11).
JDE_PD812
This holds Central Objects and Versions tables. For other releases this DB may be called JDE_PD7333, JDE_PD7334, JDE_PD9, PS_PD811.
JDE_PRODUCTION
This holds the Control Tables and Business Data tables. For other releases this DB may be called JDE_Production (Xe, ERP8 & 8.9), PS_PROD (8.11).
Depending on the release you're running, you will have scripts on the deployment server under \JDEdwards\E812\database that can be edited to create these databases for you. You need to also create the users for these databases. See the Windows installation guide for the release you're working with to walk you through editing and running these scripts.
3. Create the new datasources and modify them accordingly.
Create new, custom Data Sources to point to those databases. For this I would suggest calling the Data Sources similar names to the original DS's. For example:
Business Data - PRODSQL
Control Tables - PRODSQL
Central Objects - PD812SQL
Versions - PD812SQL
System - 812SQL
Object Librarian - 812SQL
Data Dictionary - 812SQL
ENT - 812SQL Server Map (where ENT is the name of the server the DB is installed)
Note: You will need to install Host code to this server for communication to work between the old DB server and this new one.
Install the Windows Host code on this new server. See the Windows Installation guide, Installing Enterprise Server section, for more information. Make sure to install services and run porttest to make sure communication works from the new Enterprise server to the old Server and DB.
4. Finally to move the data from one server to another using R98403 version.
Run R98403 for the Data Sources of the tables you want to copy. There are different versions of R98403 that can be used to copy from one Data Source to another. I would suggest making a copy of the version and using that to change processing options and data selection.
Always have a verified backup of your Database before you run R98403 just in case something happens and you overwrite original data.
