Migrating fm CF 5/MS SQL to MySQL

Time for us to take a quantum leap. We want to
upgrade everything from Cold Fusion 5 to the current version. Then,
we want to migrate from MS SQL 7 (on a Windows 2000/NT server) to
MySQL (Apache). Our ecommerce solution is fairly complex with
stored procedures, etc. It's a licensing and rights management
platform for stock photos. We're a small company. And, this is
beyond our skill set. So, I'm assuming we will outsource it.
Seeking guidance, please.
Is it doable?
How difficult will it be?
Will it be time consuming (weeks instead of days)?
Are there any known "land mines" to watch out for?
Are we going to have to mortgage the house to get it done
correctly?
Where can we find someone who can handle the task?
And, how do we qualify them to ensure they are capable?
Thank you, one and all,
Randy

Depends how complicated your application is.

Yes.
The big question in my mind is "Why?". Why not just upgrade
to CF 8,
Win2003 and MS SQL Server 2005 (Express)? Surely that is a
lot less work
and the price difference between MS SQL Server and MySQL
hosting is
insignificant compared to the cost of the migration.

Migrate/Import/[etc.] PL/SQL Web-Toolkit Application to APEX

Hello all,
I've only recently learned about APEX and have dabbled with it for a little while, and I'm quite impressed with how amazingly quick it is to develop applications with it.
A few co-workers and myself are trying to convince "The Management" that we should pursue using APEX to develop our Enterprise Applications. Currently we write our web apps using the PL/SQL WebToolkit, accessing our applications at URL's like: http://host/dad/[package.]procedure .
Recently (within the past month) there was a convention in the Southern California region where I believe some people from TUSC presented on APEX. As I understand it, they said it was possible to migrate existing applications (written in packages and procedures) to APEX. I'm also told that it is possible to view the PL/SQL that is rendered by APEX to display the application.
We've practically sold our Director, however he has a few outstanding issues he's asked me to research, as he feels his boss would be most concerned with:
* How much effort will it take to migrate/import/etc the PL/SQL WebToolkit Application to APEX
* Should the need arise, how much effort would it take to move from APEX back to PL/SQL WebToolkit
I've tried researching these topics over the past few days and I haven't really come up with much. I realize that you can call PL/SQL packages/procedures/etc from within a region, but as I read on a thread in these forums ( How to jump from mod_plsql to APEX! ), you still won't be able to take advantage of the Items, Computations, Processes, etc. Is there, in fact, a way of importing a PL/SQL-developed Web Application into APEX to take advantage of all its tools? I would imagine it would be quite a feat to be able to create the items for the form fields, maintain the layout and such, but I need to provide my Director with as much information on these topics as possible.
Many of us developers are really excited at the prospect of developing with this tool; it would be a shame to lose the opportunity over not being able to provide any information on the topics above.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
-Luis

Hi Luis,
I had a client a couple of years back who had an existing PL/SQL Web Toolkit application who used the htp.p etc calls to generate the HTML (and in some cases CSS) for their site. They were interested in using Application Express and asked me to design a new administration module for their site (which I did). The development went extremely smoothly so they then asked about re-writing their existing site in APEX (since maintaining the old site was not a straight-forward task).
Fortunately for me, the original designer had the foresight to put lots of the application logic into packages (which I could reuse), but I quickly (about 2 or 3 days from memory) created a custom theme and templates in APEX which gave the same look and feel as the existing site.
Personally, I think if you tried to re-use the existing htp.p calls (by using PL/SQL regions etc), then you would be missing out on some of the major advantages of using APEX (such as the ability to easily change the look and feel of your application).
I always think that migrating to a new tool/platform etc is a great opportunity to re-examine your existing code to perhaps see if you can do things differently (speed up those queries, perhaps make the navigation more logical etc).
So, yes you can certainly re-use lots of your existing packaged logic, but I would also take the leap and use the features that Application Express provides to make future maintenance of your application easier.
Just my thoughts.
John.

Custom DTS package migration from BPC 4.2 ,SQL 2000 to BPC 7.0 M , SQL 2005

Is there any changes required in the custom dts package when migration from BPC 4.2 , sql 2000 Environment to bpc 7.0 , SQL 2005/2008 Environment.
or
Please suggest process for migrating custom dts package from BPC 4.2 ,SQL 2000 Envirnment to BPC 7.0 ,SQL 2005/2008 Environment

When you say "custom dts package" that can mean many different things. What type of customization has been done?
There are a few BPC-related features which changed from 4.2, which must be manually adjusted, if you're using those features.
But SQL itself also changed dramatically in moving from SQL 2000 to 2005. So if your customer's packages are heavily customized around SQL 2000, this may require substantial re-work.
The only migration process for custom DTS packages -- that I'm aware of -- is to use the SQL 2005 migration tool in SSIS, see how much it messed up, and then fix everything else that's still broken.
But there also may be opportunities to improve the package overall. SQL 2005 has a lot of great new features in SSIS, over what was there in SQL 2000.
I haven't started working with SQL 2008 yet, so I can't say what complexity there is in upgrading DTS packages from 2005 to 2008. From what I read in the BPC 7 release notes, it sounds like it's a very minor upgrade, compared to the jump from 2000 to 2005.

Steps to migrate Project Server 2007 from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008?

We need to migrate Project server 2007 from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008.
1. Is it as simple as doing backup and restore of databases and pointing Project Server to the new DB server? Or there are some specific steps that should be followed?
2. Article at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207290(office.12).aspx is about moving databases from one DB server to another (same versions). At one place, it mentions to
backup all databases but at another place it mentions that
You should only back up the Draft and Published databases from the source database server.
What should be done when moving from 2005 to 2008?
Regards,
Amit
Gupta

High Level step you can get this form Tech net or MSDN too
Shut down the SharePoint servers (App / Web)
backup all of the SharePoint and Project
Server databases from the SQL 2005 server
copy these over to the new SQL 2008 server and restore all of
the databases with the same names
script out all of the logins used by SharePoint/PS from the SQL 2005 server and create these on the SQL 2008 server
script out the Delete expired sessions SQL job from the SQL 2005 server and create this on the SQL 2008 server - or create them manually on the SQL 2008 server
repoint the SQL server DNS Alias from the SQL 2005 server to the SQL 2008 server, if SharePoint and Project Server was installed using the actual SQL server name and no alias, you can create a DNS alias for the old SQL 2005 server name that points to the SQL
2008 server. This is so that the SharePoint servers can still connect to the same SQL server name
Start up the SharePoint servers

Migrate a Single node clustered SQL SharePoint 2010 farm to an un-clustered single node SQL VM (VMware)

Silly as it sounds, we have a SQL2008r2 Clustered SharePoint farm with only one node. We did intend to have 2 nodes but due to costs and other projects taking priority it was left as is.
We have decided to virtualise the Database server (to be SQL2008r2 un-clustered) to take advantage of VMware H/A etc.
Our current setup is
    shareclus
= cluster (1 node – sharedb (SharePoint database server))
    shareapp1
= application server (LB)
    shareapp2
= application server (LB)
    shareweb1 = WFE (LB)
    shareweb2 = WFE (LB)
and would like to go to
    sharedb01vm = SharePoint Database server
    shareapp1
= application server (LB)
   shareapp2
= application server (LB)
    shareweb1 = WFE (LB)
    shareweb2 = WFE (LB)
So at the moment the database is referenced in Central Addministration as shareclus. If I break the cluster, shareclus will not exist so I don’t think I will be able to use aliases(?) but I’m not sure.
Can anyone help? Has anyone done this before? Any tips/advice to migrate or otherwise get the SQL DB virtualised would be greatly received.

I havent done this specifically with sharepoint, but I dont think it will be any different.
Basically you build the new VM with the name sharedb01vm. Now when you are doing the cut-over, ie when you are basically moving all the databases, you rename the servers.. ie the new VM will be renamed as Shareclus and the old cluster can be named anything
you like .
At this point the sharepoint server should point to the new VM where you have already migrated the db's.
Another option is to create a Alias in the sharepoint server "shareclus" to point to sharedb01vm.
I have seen both of this in different environments but I bascially dont prefer the Alias option as it creates confusion to people who dont know this.

Sql LOader- Mysql Migration to Oracle

Hai all,
I am using Sql loader to migrate Mysql Database to Oracle 10g.
Almost all the migration is succesfully done but i have got stuck at one point. Since We know that in Mysql there is Null Date format is 0000:00:00 00:00 and when i am trying to load this date in oracle it says that cannot insert 0 in date.
Since In my mysql there is date combination of both regular dates and 0000:00:00 ..... so i want that what shoud i use in Sql*Loader that .When it seen the 0000:00:00 in date column it insert the date 1900:01:01 and when it sees the reglular date ..it simply insert in date .
Thanks and Regards!!
Pankaj

Hi,
The decode command I mwntioned means
if :date = 0000:00:00 00:00
then
to_date('1900:01:01','YYYY:MM:DD')
else
to_date( <give your date format> )
end
Change your command to
publishtodate "decode(:publishtodate, '0000:00:00 00:00', to_date('1900:01:01','YYYY:MM:DD'), to_date(:publishtodate,'YYYY/MM/DD' ) )"
The last bit (i.e. to_date(:publishtodate,'YYYY/MM/DD' ) ) is the else part, which will load the actual date data.
Here you have to give the format of dates of your MySql generated data.
Whats the format of date data? I guess, its not just YYYY/MM/DD, there must be time component (as the error text says).
If the dates are like "2007/05/21 23:45", then give the format "YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI" or else follow your format.
Cheers

SQL Developer & MySQL ??

I am unable to use the Tools->Database Export utility to do exports for MySQL databases the way I do it for oracle. In the 'Connection' option of the export wizard, only my oracle connections are enlisted.
Though I have a MySQL database server up and running and a connection to my database in it from SQL Developer exists and is active, I dont' understand why only my oracle database connections are enlisted in the 'Connection' option of the export wizard. Any Hints ???

Reports, Export Wizard and other features are not supported for non-Oracle databases. You can right-click on a data grid and export the data to file. SQL Developer is a GUI for Oracle databases, the connection to other non-Oracle databases is primarily and initially for migrating from these database to Oracle. We support browsing objects and ANSI SQL commands. We do plan to extend the support to non- Oracle databases, but our primary focus and priority remains Oracle.

Migration of a database from sql server 2008 r2 to oracle 11 g

We're trying to migrate a Sql server managment studio database to Oracle 11g using SQL Developer 4.0. We can successfully connect to both Sql server managment studion 8.0 and Oracle 11g using the tool, as well as click through the Migration Wizard and start the migration.
This opens the Database Migration dialog box, which indicates the capture process starts normally. we get the following error:
ora :01440 : can not insert null into migrlog (id column) ,
\and then after some time , i get an error that migration failed
I know , that we vcan nt insert null into migrlog table , then pls tell me how can i resolve fro this problem . is there any way to solve it,
i am not getting the reason,I thing it may be due to reason that , I have table's column in my source db with more than 30 character.
If i am migrating one by one table . then it is not giving any error, and identifier name is getting shrink in 30 character. but i am not getting the view , stored procedure , indexes , and others
then what is the solution for that, somebody pls suggest any help?????????????

Best way to migrate SharePoint 2003 data into SQL Server 2008

Hi Experts,
I am planning to migrate data from SharePoint 2003 into SQL Server 2008. After the migration SharePoint site will be deleted in couple of months and then that data will be feed into .Net Front end application
1) What is the best and easy way to do it?
2) Is there any way to automate the migration process? i.e. If a new record gets entered into SharePoint it should be populated into SQL Server 2008.
3) Any other suggestions
Thanks,
John

Dear John,
If it's just a few lists, and you just want to import them "as-is" then it should be possible to do so ... and survive to tell the about it ;-)
Generally speaking, You will need to write a small process (program or script) to read/parse each list and check if the item(s) are in the target table (I assuming that there is a distinct table as target
for each list, and that each list has 'something" you can use to distinct each row), if it's not there, the just add them according to your needs.
Then just rerun the process periodically and it would keep your databases up to date (you could even set ti up to update those records that have changes, but that would delay your process significantly)
What i just described is doable, and not TOO complicated, it could be done i a lot different ways, and with different alternatives of programming/scripting languages. for sure you can do it in any flavor
of .net language, and even powershell.
As I mentioned, this is speaking in general, the actual implementation would depend on your specific needs and the kind of data that you have/need to keep.

Solution to execute sql from mysql application logs

We have some custom mysql application, which generate logs that are stored on common location on open linux box which has below format
$ cat minor20100809.log
20100809001^Aselect count(prod_id) from product_logs;
20100809002^Aselect count(order_id) from order_logs;
ID and the SQL statement with control A as seperater and daily 1000 logs files are generated
Now we have one oracle DWH, where we import all the mysql data and we need to test these counts on daily basis.
Could you please suggest a solution in oracle for this?
at high level we need to follow below steps
a) Import these logs in a table --> which is better way sqlldr, impdp, or plsql read file ?
b) execute these sql statement one by one
c) store the counts in log table on daily basis

Hi,
It is a simple two step process.
Step 1. Convert your log files statements to meaningful oracle statements. like removing prefixes 20100809001^A from each line.
This can be done in two ways.
(a). Using OS editors OR
(b). Following PL/SQL code...
-- Connect as sysdba
create or replace directory dir_tmp as '/tmp';                        -- If oracle server is on Unix
create or replace directory dir_tmp as 'C:\your_folder';            -- If oracle server is on Windows
-- Grant permission to your_schema
grant read, write on directory dir_tmp to your_schema;    Removing prefixes using:
       SELECT regexp_replace (vNewLine, '([[:alnum:]]{1,})\^A', '\2')
         INTO vStmt
         FROM DUAL;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE convert_to_sql_stmts
( input_file     in varchar2,
output_file   in varchar2
AUTHID CURRENT_USER
IS
    InFile   utl_file.file_type;
    OutFile utl_file.file_type;
    vNewLine VARCHAR2(4000);
    vStmt    VARCHAR2(4000);
    i        PLS_INTEGER;
    j        PLS_INTEGER := 0;
    SeekFlag BOOLEAN := TRUE;
BEGIN
-- open a file to read
InFile := utl_file.fopen(dir_tmp, input_file,'r');
-- open a file to write
OutFile := utl_file.fopen(dir_tmp, output_file, 'w');
-- if the file to read was successfully opened
IF utl_file.is_open(InFile) THEN
    -- loop through each line in the file
    LOOP
      BEGIN
        utl_file.get_line(InFile, vNewLine);
        i := utl_file.fgetpos(InFile);
        dbms_output.put_line(TO_CHAR(i));
        SELECT regexp_replace (vNewLine, '([[:alnum:]]{1,})\^A', '\2')
          INTO vStmt
          FROM DUAL;
        utl_file.put_line(OutFile, vStmt, FALSE);
        utl_file.fflush(OutFile);
        IF SeekFlag = TRUE THEN
          utl_file.fseek(InFile, NULL, -30);
          SeekFlag := FALSE;
        END IF;
      EXCEPTION
        WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
          EXIT;
      END;
    END LOOP;
    COMMIT;
END IF;
utl_file.fclose(InFile);
utl_file.fclose(OutFile);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20099, 'Unknown UTL_FILE Error');
END convert_to_sql_stmts;
Step 2. Directly executing above output log file
Use spool to generate the count....
    set termout off
    set feedback off
    set trimspool on
    set pagesize 0
    set timing OFF
    spool   count.log
    @new_file.log
    spool off;Hope this helps...

Migration of Oracle 8i PL/SQL to Oracle 9i PL/SQL

Hi,
Can anybody help me giving information about mandatory requirements to migrate from 8i to 9i. Also please let me know if any documents related to that for PL/SQL and PRO * C migration from 8i to 9i.
Thanks with Regards,
Guru

Are there any issues that you are facing?
If your software was well tuned and working fine under Oracle8i, you may just be able to port it right into Oracle9i without any issues.
Ofcourse, If may also depend upon how the Oracle9i instance and database has been setup by the DBA.

Migration: Access 2003 to Oracle SQL

Dear All
I would like to perform a migration from Access 2003, to Oracle 10g. I am using SQL Developer for the task, and have reached the point of capturing the XML file that I exported from Access. I need to create a migration repository on the target database, and this is causing problems as I do not have all the necessary privileges.
In the process, I have been advised that migrations from Access to Oracle are not easy to achieve, and in fact require careful planning before execution. My objective is not really to transfer the data stored within the database file. I only really want to convert Access logic into Oracle SQL code. I was wondering if anyone could advise on the typical odds of success in achieving this task.
I migrated the same Access database to MS SQL Server some time ago and the process seemed to go smoothly. Would it be reasonable then to migrate from MS SQL to Oracle SQL if this is easier?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
M

Thanks for your response.
I am not familiar with the intricacies of the process, I'm just following the instructions set out in the Oracle Migrating 3rd Party Databases white paper.
In this document, a process is set out consisting of steps that export an Access database, and then capture it to an Oracle user area with appropriate privileges. The process is achieved through Oracle SQL Developer.
I'd be very grateful if you could expand on your answer if there is a better way of translating Access queries into Oracle SQL. I am aware that an Access front-end is capable of connecting with an Oracle database to execute queries, however, there are considerable limitations in the use of Access that I would like to avoid - hence the migration.
