Migrating from Access to Oracle

Hello......
I am trying to migrate a table from Access to Oracle. It contains approx 850,000 rows, and I tried using SQL Server's DTS Import/Export tool to perform the migration. However, this export/import has been running for almost 48 hours (crazy, huh?!), and I'm only at 350,000 records loaded. This tool is obviously not sufficient for a migration of this size.
Can anyone suggest a better way for me to go about this?
Thanks,
-Christine

Hi,
If you have DDL structures in Oracle, then you can save the access data as .csv file format. you using any opensource tool you can migrate it.
Or you can go for sql loader also.

While migrating from access to oracle ??

While loading data from SQL Loader, DATE is taken as dd-mmm-yy (eg: 18-MAR-02) even after specified in "mm/dd/yyyy HH24:mi:ss" in controlfile. How to resolve this problem ???

Hi,
Did you follow all the steps in the SQL*Developer documentation about preparing the Access database for migration -
Oracle® SQL Developer User’s Guide Release 3.0 -
2.2.4.3 Before Migrating From Microsoft Access
and -
Oracle® SQL Developer Supplementary Information for Microsoft Access Migrations Release 3.0
2.4 Preparing the Microsoft Access Database for Capture
The error also indicates there may be a problem with your Access installation so could you check that everything is okay with that ? I have found references that indicate a re-install of Office/Access will prevent the error.

Arjun,
you cannot do an online migration with MS Access as you can do with other foreign datasources. You can only do an offline migration.
The first step that you need to do is to call the Microsoft Access Exporter. Click on Tools - Migration - Microsoft Access Exporter and chose the exporter of the MS Access version that you are using.
The exporter creates an xml file for you. After the exporter has finished you can do the migration, click on Tools - Migration - Migrate, but in Step 4 please select "Offline", and then you can select the xml file that the exporter has created. The following steps in the Migration assistant are then doing the migration for you.
You might also want to read the chapter "Before Migrating From Microsoft Access" in the online help of SQL Developer.

OLE object Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hello,
I used sql developer 3.1.07(oracle 11g) to perform data migration from MS ACESS.
the MS access data has a column with data type as "OLE object" ---there
saved a lot of pdf files .
Then I performed "copy to oracle" from MS access connection, the OLE data
changed to BLOB from oracle database, and data seems to be copied to
database as binary . However none of the data in the column can be opened. I
download the blob data to a file from sql developer and tried to open
using Adobe 8.1 with no success.
How can I fix this issue? or I should say, how can I migrate MS access OLE data to oracle?
Thanks,
H.M.

thx - will have a look

The original PDF content starts with:
%PDF-1.4
%ª«¬
4 0 obj
<<
/Creator (Apache FOP Version 1.0)
/Producer (Apache FOP Version 1.0)
/CreationDate (D:20120521131845+02'00')
>>
endobj
5 0 obj
<<
/N 3
/Length 12 0 R
/Filter /FlateDecode
>>
stream
But when I try to save the content in the BLOB as a file it claims about a missing mime extension and when I ignore this message and save the file anyway as a PDF the content is corrupted.
It shows as :
Acrobat Document ..
´4 0 obj
<<
/Creator (Apache FOP Version 1.0)
/Producer (Apache FOP Version 1.0)

endobj
5 0 obj

/Length 12 0 R

stream
Did you also get the missing mime type error message?

Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hi,
I want to migrate an mdb file which contains a set of tables to oracle. During this process, i have created schema and all the tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. I would like to transfer only the data to Oracle from access through SQL developer. How can I do that?
Regards,
Meena

Hi Meena,
You mention that you have created the schema and tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. Did you use the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench, creating a Migration Repository, to carry out this process? I see from your other postings that you are experiencing issues using the Exporter tool, which would lead me to believe that you haven't used the Migration Workbench to migrate your database. Obviously you will need to resolve your Exporter issues before you can proceed to the next phase of the migration process. I will aim to assist you with those issues on the seperate thread - ShowSplashScreen("_OracleSplashScreen",3) error The XML file generated by the Exporter tool forms the basis of your MS Access migration.
In order to migrate your data from MS Access to Oracle using the Migrate Data option in Oracle SQL Developer, you will need to have access to the Migration Repository used for the migration of the MS Access database. The information contained in the Converted Model, in the Migration Repository, is used during the data migration process. The data migration requires the following connections:
1. a source database connection i.e. a database connection to the MS Access MDB file
2. a target database connection i.e. a database connection to the migration Oracle schema
3. a Converted Model connection
For further information on the creation of a Migration Repository, and the migration process, please refer to the accompanying documentation available via the online Help within Oracle SQL Developer, and also from OTN - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10405_01/doc/nav/portal_booklist.htm.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

Migrating from Access to Oracle - Captured Model did not convert

I'm trying to convert an Access database 2003 to Oracle using SQL Developer. I've worked through the migration process to the point where I need to convert the Captured Model to a Converted Model. The first time I ran that step, the application told me there were some issues with some indexes and didn't convert my captured model. I decided to delete my captured model and rerun the process from the point where I import the .xml file and recreate the captured model. I then tried again to create my Converted Model and again it didn't generate. The Converting Database dialog box tells me that it's 'converting the database' and it's 'transforming identifiers' but it just hangs and does nothing. What did I do wrong and how to I correct my issue so that I can create my Converted Model?
Thank you.

I was able to get past the Capture Model "hang up" business about three weeks ago. (I'm trying to migrate the Access 2003 Northwind db to APEX 3.2/Oracle 10g.) I found a thread in another forum that noted the problem could be due to a memory issue. This particular post referred to an omwb.bat file in a folder omwb. This may have been referring to an earlier version of SQL Developer -- I could not find the bat file. I'm using SQL Developer Version 2.1.1.64.45. I did, although find a sqldeveloper.bat file in my installation path: C:\Software\sqldeveloper_2.1.1.64.45\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin. In that file there is one very long java command. And at the very start of that command, I changed
from: java -Xmx640M -Xms128M .................
to: java -Xmx1024M -Xms640M ................
In the java documentation (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html) this notes that changing these parameters effect the size of the initial and maximum memory allocation pool.
So that was pretty great -- that it worked. I am at the point now where I've retrieved it all into APEX but it is all invalid and there are so many issues going on all at once that I need to put the project on hold. There is not very much management patience for something like this that goes on and on. Maybe I'll work on it a bit at night now.
Hope the memory thing helps someone.

Problems with migrating from access to oracle

OMWB has a few problems with upper and lower case letters, when i try to modify my old access DB OMWB cant find the new table in Oracle:
(3011 The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object <name>. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. )
the problem is that it searching for AP_BILD.A990BILDER but the correct name is AP_BILD.a990Bilder
when i recreate the table as AP_BILD.A990BILDER it worked.
but i cant do that for almost 400 tables!
any suggestion how to fix this?
also have a problem when creating the trigger:
OMWB puts the tablename into 2 double quotation marks each side (""name"") and of course it tells me something of a tablenamelength of NULL and it doesnt work
working with release 9.2.0.1.0 of OMWB

update: if i try to link the table from access directly it also cant find the table, but can find other tables (the others are in upper case).
could it be a problem with the odbc driver? does it automatically look for upper case names?
anyone know how to fix this?
thanks in advance

DB Migration from MYSQL to ORACLE Using Offline Capture

Hi
Am doing a database migration from MySQL to Oracle using SQL Developer (version 2.1.1.64). So far, I've successfully captured the MySQL database and converted it to the Oracle Model. However, when generating offline scripts to create the converted model schema into Oracle DDL scripts it managed to generate SQL to create: 1) User 2) Sequences 3) Tables 4) Triggers and 5) constraints.
It has created the SQL to add the primary key constraints and index constraints. Although it did the foreign key constraints in the SQL, the foreign key constraints seems to have missed the cascading options for the foreign key constraint. I.e. theres no reference of whether the foreign key constraint will restrict on delete or cascade etc.
We have a foreign keys in the MySql database that have different cascading options and these have not being ported over into the migration SQL. Therefore, all the foreign keys generated in the SQL by default are cascade to restrict on delete.
Does 'Generate Oracle DDL' not take into account a foreign key's on delete cascading option?
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
that reminded me for the following thread:
Migration Microsoft SQL Sever 2005 to Oracle 11g cascade on delete problem
That is a similar issue, isn't it?
I opened a bug for that, and it will be fixed in SQL Developer 3.1 (not in any 3.0 Early Adopter version). If you hit the same issue, there is no other way then using the workaround as used in the mentioned thread.

Wolfgang

Problem while migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Quick Migrate

Hi,
For SQL Developer version 2.1, while migrating from sybase to oracle, Using Quick migrate, during data move step, for the rows having ''(Blank) values in TEXT data type in SYBASE, which is convertd to CLOB in Oracle, the migration for that table terminates at that row.
However, NULL values in Sybase TEXT data type are successfully inserted in Oracle CLOB.
How can we overcome this?

Migrating from Sybase to Oracle

Hi!
Can someone tell me, how to migrate from Sybase to Oracle.
Thank U.

Hi,
You don't say if you have used the SQL*Developer migration workbench for the migration so far.
This has a feature for transferring data offline which should do what you want.
Have a look at the documentation linked from -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
or at -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm

Migrating from Progress to Oracle

Hi,
Wonder if someone's migrated from Progress to Oracle. What tools are available ? what are the constraints/pitfalls/limitations/restrictions ? I need to understand the overall migration process (not having done one yet). What are the tools ? what the procedural steps specifically to go from Progress to Oracle ?
If someone has done such project, I can use some highlights (if you can share your knowledge/experince).
Much appreciate any response.
Rohit.

Here is a bit of an update gathered from my own research on this issue. Hopefully, it can help someone with the same requirement as mine.
1. Oracle Migration WorkBench does NOT have support for Progress yet and according to Oracle sales, it may never be made available. Thus MWB is not an option.
2. Oracle Migration Toolkit is a possibility as it does have support going from Progress 6.x and 7.x to Oracle 7. The limitation here is that you can only go up to Oracle 7 from Progress 6.x or 7.x. In this case, I can migrate to Oracle 7 and then once all is well, upgrade Oracle to 8i or whatever.
3. The last option is, if migration toolkit does not work out, go the traditional route which is to export/extract Progress out into flat files and then load into Oracle using SQL Loader.
