Load data from FTP server into Oracle

I have a zipped file in a FTP server. I need to unzip the file and sql load it into an Oracle table.
Does Oracle has any utilities with which I can direct do "get" from the FTP server?
Does Oracle has any zip/unzip features?
I am using 10g.

I am using 10g.Oracle does not support thes features directly. You'll have to write an OS script to performthe tasks and insert the data.
Dependending on your output format you can use UTL_FILE, SQL*LOADER, or external tables to load the data.

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.

is there any alternate method to do this and and populate table in oracle db faster.Part of the performance overhead is pulling that data from SQL-Server to Oracle across the network link between them. 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.

Using Oracle Forms Importing Data From SQL Server into Oracle Tables.

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Forms 10g in windows XP and having OAS 10g and Oracle database 9i.
How can we import data from SQL Server 2005 into Oracle tables using Oracle Forms?
Thanks & Regards
Eidy

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
For additional help on using SQL Developer for this task, please consult Support or the SQL Developer forum: SQL Developer
Hope this helps,

Hello:
You could consider using Oracle Heterogeneous Services to do this. If your Oracle database is on a Windows platform the link below shows you how to make a connection to SqlServer from an Oracle database.

Periodic Importing of data from SQL Server into Oracle Database

I would like to know how I can use the SQL Developer tool to import data from a SQL Server database across the internet into an Oracle Database on a periodic basis? I understand there is a Migration Workbench, but it seems to be only a one off activity.
What I would really like is to be able to import data for example, very 30 minutes from multiple tables/views in a SQL Server Database into an Oracle Database (overwriting or modifying existing same data) without the need for Heterogeneous Connectivity, as my Oracle Database is not my LAN.
Thank you for your kind ideas and suggestions.

To be honest the best way to do it is DG4ODBC or DG4MSQL. All other solutions need manual interaction.
The gateways DG4ODBC and DG4MSQL are independant from the Oracle database and also from the SQL Server location. In a worst case scenario you have an Oracle database on machine A, the gateway on machine B and the SQL Server on machine C.
Gateways were built to exactly do what you want. As you have access to the Oracle database the only part you need to define within the Oracle database is a db link. If you specify the full tns connect identifier there is even no need to edit the tnsnames.ora file.
Even if you excluded the gateway in your last sentence the best solution would be the gateway.
Another option you can use is the SQL Server linked server mechanism. It allows you to link another server using OLEDB driver. In your case you can then link the Oracle db into your SQL Server and then insert/update/delete and select Oracle tables from the SQL Server. Using now a trigger will replicate the data immediately to the Oracle db.

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.

Error while loading data from application server

Hi all,
Am facing a problem while loading data from application server.
The error i get is ....
*" The argument ' Rental/Lease ' cannot be interpreted as a number while assigning character to application structure*.
'Rental/Lease' is a value for a character infoobject length 30. I checked for the sequence of fields in data source and the sequnce of values am receiving in application server and the sequence match.
when i copy these values into a CSV onto a desktop and load,load is successful.
Please let me know your views.
Thanks&Regards,
Praveen

It looks like the system is trying to convert Rental/Lease to a number format. Is the info object type CHAR or NUMC or ??? I would look there.
Also, make sure / is in RSKC.

Replicating data from SQL Server to Oracle

I like to know whether it is possible to Replicate data from SQL Server to Oracle and vice-versa.
My present application is using SQL server and very recently we migrated to Oracle. As the usage of SQL Server is more, I like to replicate the data being entered into SQL Server into Oracle also.

You can also use SQL Server replication right out of the box to replicate data to Oracle. In Enterprise Manager, configure an OLE-DB or ODBC subscriber with the Oracle credentials, and then just create a standard push subscription to the newly configured Oracle subscriber. Note that you need to click the advanced checkbox on the subscription wizard to see the heterogeneous datasource as a subscriber.
Good luck,

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

How to extract incremental data from SQL server to oracle tables in ODI

HI All,
In my ODI sql server is install.My Source is in SQL server and my target is in Oracle.
I need to create a interface mapping where i need to extract incremental data from sql server to oracle.
There is a datetime(with Timestamp) field in sql server .I need to pull incremental data based on dateime.
Example = tablename.DateTime > (select '1-jan-11' from dual) .....i am using this query but its not woking.the error is Invalid object name"dual".
We are not going to use Incremental in IKM and LKM.
Request you to please provide any suggestion ASAP.
Thanks,
Lony

You can do that via Variable.
In the interface mapping create a filter on Tablename.DateTime
and put the condition like this
Tablename.DateTime BETWEEN #VAR and in the variable use this query in refreshing tab with oracle schema
SELECT max(start_time)||' AND '||max(END_TIME)+1 from audit_table where ETL_JOB_CODE = '20'In the package call the above variable in refresh mode and then interface.
This way you will pass from the query between and condition date and pass to interface so that SQL Server fetches the data between those too range.
Note:- You might need to tweak the date format so that SQL Server can understand.
Hope this helps.

Faster way to migrate data from SQL Server to Oracle 10g

We have to migrate data from SQL Server to Oracle 10 g.
One particular table on SQL Server has records around 1.25 millions.
We tried moving data using DTS package, but looks it will take hours with current speed of 300 records/minute.
This table has TEXT column, which has XML strings stored. I am not sure, if this is the reason for slow migration.
Would you please suggest better options to migrate it faster?
Thanks in advance !!!

Have you tried Migration work bench?

Show data from sql server to oracle db

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g R1 on windows 2003 platform. On one machine database 10gR1 is running and on other machine sql server is running. I want to retrieve some data from sql server to oracle database. Please tell me how I can show data from sql server to oracle db.
Thanks

To make heterogeneous connection with oracle:
1.First make an ODBC connection, make entry in System DSN(to create a data source)
2.Make an entry in tnsnames.ora
3.Make an entry in listener.ora under SID_LIST_LISTENER
4.Make an entry in file named init<HS>.ora file located "oracle_base\oracle_home\db\hs\admin"
5.Restart the listener
e.g:
1. create a odbc system dsn named like 'sqlserver'
2. sqlserver= (DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp) (HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx) (PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME=sqlserver))
(HS = OK)
3. (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = sqlserver) (ORACLE_HOME = oracle_base\oracle_home\db) (PROGRAM = hsodbc) )
4.Create a file named initsqlserver.ora and make the following entry:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sqlserver
Alternatively, you can copy the file named inithsodbc.ora and rename it to initsqlserver.ora
and edit as HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sqlserver
5. lsnrctl reload listener_name
