Exporting data from SQL Server database to Oracle database

Hello All,
We need to replicate a table's data of SQL Server database to Oracle database.
Can this task be accomplished using Import/Export wizard or Linked servers?
Can help me regarding which Oracle data access components should i download to do this?
I am using SQL Server 2012.
And i have Oracle 11g release 2 client installed in my system.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards, Readers please vote for my posts if the questions i asked are helpful.

Error while exporting data from sql server to excel

Hi,
I am trying to export data from sql server to excel.
The query that I used is s follows
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Folder1\abc.xls','select * from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]')
select
column1,column2.... from Table1
I get the following error message while doing so..
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
One of the column's holds data more than 225 characters.
What is the way to correct this, i want the whole data of the colum in the excel sheet.

I haven't had great luck with the INSERT INTO OPENROWSET method. Can you try one of the many samples from one of these 3 links?

Loading data from SQL server 2000 to Oracle using OWB 10.2

Hi All,
I have to move data from SQL server to Oracle using OWB. Any idea how to connect to SQL Server thru the OWB design centre console. There is no detail available in the documentation. OWB cocumentation says that "OWB Integrator for Oracle DB & Apps 3.0" is available to connect to Non-Oracle Database (including Sybase, Informix, ODBC).

Hi,
yes, you can use ODBC and configure HSODBC on the database server to create a database link to the sql-server. If your oracle server is microsoft based you are ready, otherwise you have to buy an odbc-driver for linux, unix or whatever you use.

Problem in Loading Data from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

Hi All,
I am a university student and using ODI for my final project on real-time data warehousing. I am trying to load data from MS SQL Server 2000 into Oracle 10g target table. Everything goes fine until I execute the interface for the initial load. When I choose the CKM Oracle(Create unique index on the I$ table) km, the following step fails:
21 - Integration - Prj_Dim_RegionInterface - Create Unique Index on flow table
Where Prj_Dim_Region is the name of my target table in Oracle.
The error message is:

I am using a surrogate key column in my target table alongwith the natural key. The natural key is populated by the primary key of my source table, but for the surrogate key, I have created a sequence in my oracle schema where the target table exists and have used the following code for mapping:
<%=snpRef.getObjectName( "L" , "SQ_PRJ_DIM_REGION" , "D" )%>.nextval
I have chosen to execute this code on target.
Among my attempts to solve this problem was to set Create Index option of the CKM Oracle(Create Index for the I$ Table) to No so that it wont create any index on the flow table. I also tried to use the simple CKM Oracle km . Both solutions allowed the interface to execute successfully without any errors, but the data was not loaded into the target table.
When I right-click on the Prj_Dim_Region data store and choose Data, it shows empty. Pressing the SQL button in this data store shows a dialog box " New Query" where I see this query:
select * from NOVELTYFURNITUREDW.PRJ_DIM_REGION
But when i press OK to run it, I get this error message:

Hi Cezar,
Can u plz help me with this scenario?
I have one Oracle data model with 19 source tables and one SQL Server data model with 10 target tables. I have created 10 interfaces which use JournalizedDataOnly on one of the tables in the interface; e.g in interface for DimCustomer target table, I have 2 tables, namely Customer and Address, but the journalizing filter appear only on Customer table and this option is disabled for Address automatically.
Now I want to create a package using OdiWaitForLog event detection. Is it possible to put all these 10 interfaces in just one package to populate the target tables? It works fine when I have only one interface and I use the name of one table in the interface for Table Name parameter of OdiWaitForLogData event, but when I try a comma seperated list of table names[Customer, Address] this error happens
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
and if I use this method <%=odiRef.getObjectName("L","model_code","logical_schema","D")%>, I get this error
"-CDC_SET_NAME=Exception getObjectName("L", "model_code", "logical_schema", "D") : SnpLSchema.getLSchemaByName : SnpLschema does not exist" "
Please let me know how to make it work?
Do I need to create separate data models each including only those tables which appear in their corresponding interface and package? Or do I need to create multiple packages each with only one journalized interface to populate only one target table?
Thank you for your time in advance.
Regards,
Neel

Move data from sql server v8 to oracle 10g

I just got urgent projects to migrate the data from MS SQL server 2000 to oracle 10g. The following are requirements:
Source data/table: MS sql server 2k (version 8) on MS 2000 machine.
Destination Data/table: oracle 10g (10.1.0.4) on Redhat version 3.
Total number of tables: < 10 tables and < 1000 rows each tables.
This is only one time data extraction. No periodically data extraction need.
Questions:
What connect method I should use? (odbc or jdbc)
What if I have image datatype?
Thanks in advance.

Use the Oracle Migration Workbench.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/index.html
I think IMAGE will be migrated to BLOB by default.

How to only migrate data from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11?

According to our requirement, We need to only migrate data from a SQL Server database to an existed
Oracle database user.
1) I tried to do it with SQL Developer 3.0.04 Migration Wizard, But find an issue.
My SQL Server database name is SCDS41P2, and my Oracle database user name is CDS41P2;
When I used SQL Developer to do offline move data by Migration Wizard, I found all oracle user
name in movedata files which gotten by run Migration Wizard
is dbo_SCDS41P2. If the Oracle user name is not the same as my existed Oracle user name,
the data can't be moved to my existed Oracle user when I run oracle_ctl.bat in command line window.
So I had to modify the Oracle user name in all movedata files, but it's difficult to modify them because there are many tables in
databases. So could you please tell me how to get the movedata files which the oracle user name in them is my
expected Oracle user name?
2) I also tried to use the 'copy to Oracle' function to copy the SQL Server database tables data
to the existed Oracle database user. When clicked 'copy to Oracle', I selected 'Include Data' and 'Replace' option
But I found some tables can't be copied, the error info is as below:
Table SPSSCMOR_CONTROLTABLE Failed. Message: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
Could you please tell me how to deal with this kind of error?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for you replying. But the 'copy to oracle' function still can't be work well. I will give some info about the table. I also search 'SPSSCMOR_CONTROLTABLE' in the target schema, and only find one object. So why say 'name is already used by an existing object'? Could you please give me some advice? Thanks!

How can I migrate data from SQL Server 6,5 to Oracle 8?

We have a web site based on Microsoft SQL Server 6.5.Now we plan
to migrate the database to Oracle 8.
We have redesigned the tables structure and created tables under
Oracle 8, so we only need to migrate data from SQL Server.
We've exported data from SQL Server to text files.
How can we import data from files and restore to Oracle tables.
Is there a solution which let us to import data for particular

We'll be appreciated if somene can give suggestions.

I have no idea what "Oracle Hetrogenius Services" is, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
SQL Developer might also assist you. SQL Developer can connect to SQL Server as well as Oracle and has some tools for migration. See the documentation for details:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/doc.150/e12156/toc.htm

Junk arabic details while transfer arabic data from sql server 2000 to orac

We are facing problems to view arabic details in oracle which is transfered from sql server 2000 .
In oracle database we are using charecterset is UTF8.
NLS_CHARACTERSET :UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET:UTF8
Sqlr server collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS.
we are using stored procedure for transfering data from sql server 2000 to oracle.
And i am able to view some arbic details which is not transfered from sql server 2000.
I thing some configuration i need to change in sql server.
Can any one help me out from this issue?

I know that this is not the correct forum to ask this question.
If someone knows this issue please help me.
We were using to import from another intermediate sqlserver and it was successfull.
And more over i cannot change anything in oracle database which is live.
The issue is we are using one intermediate sqlserver for transfering the data to oracle apart from main sqlserver.
now we want to stop the intermediate and need to transfer from main sqlserver to oracle Db.
i guess , i need to change some configuration in main sql server.
Main sql server and intermediate have the same collation.
Could you please help me out from this problem?

Migration from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Dear buddies,
I need to migrate my tables with data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. How can I do it in the best possible way?
Please guide me.
Nith

Nith,
I doubt if there is one best practice that can cover all cases of migrating data from sql server to Oracle. l generally find various factors case-by-case that make me chose one approach over the other. Without considering the business case and environment specific factors, some of the things I would like to know would be: The data types of the tables columns, table sizes, number of tables and if this is a one time process or a recurring process.
One of the easiest (some times rather pesky) process would be:
-Dump source data (Sql Server data) into flat files, csv or any preferred format
-Setup a set of staging set of tables in the destination DB (Oracle in your case). You can setup the stage tables to enforce data-types, value sets and even some level of integrity constraints or any data logic or what ever you would like to filter out. Load the flat file data into a set of Oracle stage tables (Sql*Loader would be a good candidate)
-You can always move data from these stage tables to you application tables
You can script this whole process to run as batch or on demand or how ever you would like.
I am sure you can google and find a bunch of proprietary as well as open source tools to do the same with little to a lot of work.
good luck!

Loading data from SQL server to Oracle database

i want to create one table in oracle db from table in sql server. Table is huge it got 97,456,789 records.
I created db link (HS) in oracle database which is pointing to sql server. i can select that table from oracle thru db link.
select * from "dbo"."t1@dblink;
i fired below create table.
create table t2 nologging parallel (degree=3) as select * from "dbo"."t1@dblink;
and its taking long time.... but its running...
is there any alternate method to do this and and populate table in oracle db faster.
Please advise. thanks.

This can be sped up by compressing the data first - and then transferring that across the network.
For example: using +bcp+ to export the data on the SQL-Server box to a CSV file, compress/zip the file, scp/sftp the file to Oracle, and then unzipping it there. Parallel and direct load processing can now be done using SQL*Loader to load the CSV into Oracle.
If this is a Linux/Unix base system, then the unzip/decompress process can be run in parallel with the SQL*Loader process by creating a pipe between the two - where the unzip process writes uncompressed data into the pipe and SQL*Loader reads and loads data as it becomes available via the pipe.
Alternatively, you can do you own PQ processing. Let's say the data is date ranged. You can create a procedure on Oracle that looks something like this:
{code}
create or replace procedure CopyDay( day date ) is
begin
insert /*+ append */ into local_tab select * from remote_tab@remotedb where col_day = day;
-- add logging info, commit, etc.
end;
{code}
You can now start 10 or more of these for different days and run it in the background using DBMS_JOB.
