Migrating from Pick Database to Oracle 8i database

We are investigating the possiblility of exporting the entire contents of a pick database into an Oracle 8i database. Can you suggest any resources needed or utilities needed to perform this?
thanks in advance

If Access2000 allows you save the database as an access97 database then you can use the Oracle Migration Workbench to do the conversion. Sorry, Im not the Access expert so I can't say for sure whether the save as 97 option is shipped with 2000. I'll look into it and post a definitive answer tomorrow.

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.

This needs the user to have access on all_objects view and it will limit the result upto the numbers of objects returned by the all_objects view.

Migrate from sas spds to oracle 11gr2

Is it possible to migrate from Redhat Linux to Oracle Linux on servers in a Data Center that don't have an internet connection? If so, what is the process?
In my case, tunnel.
Have ssh. Can travel.
Can you ssh into the server? Even via multiple hops? Then you can hook that server up to your Internet connection.
Simple example. Your desktop have Internet connectivity via web proxy 10.1.2.3 on port 8080. Your desktop can reach the server via ssh.
From your desktop, ssh into the server and reverse tunnel Internet connectivity
ssh -R 7777:10.1.2.3:8080 root@server
This creates a tunnel on port 7777 on server - and tunnel traffic on that port to your desktop. Arriving at your desktop, that tunneled traffic is send to the web proxy server 10.1.2.3 on port 8080.
On server, set the proxy variable so that yum, wget and other Internet usage/dependent commands know how to reach the Internet. And the proxy on the sever is the tunnel on port 7777. Thus:
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7777
export https_proxy=https://127.0.0.1:7777
Use wget google.com to test tunneled access to the Internet. And Bob is not only your uncle, but gives you slack.

Migration from SQL7.0 To Oracle & Uni-code Characters

Hi Khalil,
Can you please e-mail [email protected] with answers to the
following questions. We will try and investigate this.
What is the structure of the SQL Server table?
What is the structure of the Oracle table?
Also, what character set did you create the Oracle database with?
What codepage was the SQL Server database?
Are the characters appearing as question marks in an application?

Problems while migrating from mySql DB to oracle DB

Hi All,
I'm using sql developer tool to migrate from MySql DB to oracle DB. I followed the below steps.
1) I've created oracle and mysql connections successfully.
2) I've captured Mysql data and I'm able to see the captured model in ' Captured Models ' window. After that right clicked on the captured model and selected ' Set Data Mapping'. Selected ' apply ' button without changing anything. After that I've right clicked on the captured model and selected ' Convert to Oracle Model ' . It has shown the converting process. After some time it has shown conversion completed successfully.
But converted model is not visible in ' Converted Models ' window.
Can anyone kindly assist on how to migrate from MySql Db to Oracle DB?
Thanks,
Saty.

Hi,
We did mysql to oracle migration some time back and played with workbench tool and many other softwares available.
However our experience was not so good with these tools, each tool had its own limitation and was not able to migrate 100% data. Even the speed of migration was too slow which would have violated our production SLAs.
So after spending a month with these tools we finally decided to create our own scripts for data migration. We used tools like TOAD and SQL Yok to create the DDL for the tables and other DB objects.
For the data migration we downloaded the mysql data in flat files and used sql loader to upload the same data in oracle. Even if this was a time consuming activity but this resulted in 100% data migration with no record getting failed and the time taken for this activity was around 6 Hrs in comparison to time of 24-28 Hrs that the workbench tool took.

Migrate from Ingres DB to Oracle

Hi Friends,
I have to migrate from Ingres DB to Oracle and the application developed by Oracle Forms.How can we do this any process of docs.
From my research,I came to know about Transparent gateways,But Oracle will support for this or not I'm not sure.Any such experience shared
will be really useful.
Regards.

We have two more customers that currently are in the process of upgrading from MS SQL but as far as I know no one has actually performed an upgrade this far.
If you want to upgrade to OIM 9.1 you will have to wait until the upgrade scripts are available (estimated arrival H2 2008 according to the latest info I have).
If you would like to discuss this further send me an email on firstname.lastname@my_company.com (you can get the "variables" from my forum profile)
Best regards

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).

Migrating from SQL Server to Oracle - Emulating SQL Server databases

I want to offer Oracle connectivity from an ADO.NET application that was developed for SQL Server. The application accesses multiple databases, each having the same schema but each storing different data that is confidential to the users of each database. I’ve been reading up on Oracle but have not yet found a way to group tables, views, etc. in a way that would emulate the ‘databases’ of SQL Server.
The application currently uses the SQL ‘CREATE DATABASE’ command to generate each database and then populates each with the appropriate tables. However, CREATE DATABASE appears to work differently with Oracle, creating a new instance rather than a new ‘internal database’. I’m wondering if CREATE TABLESPACE would give me the functionality I’m looking for, if it were subsequently possible to refer to a specific table within a specific tablespace.
I guess it comes down to whether it’s possible to access specific groups of tables, views, etc. within Oracle (e.g. Groups A, B and C, each having relational tables T1, T2 and T3, and be able to access and update data within any specific table, say, B-T2), while also being able to limit access to any of the Groups.
Would ODP.Net offer advantages over the System.Data.OracleClient for this architectural problem?
Any thoughts on how best to proceed would be most welcome. Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.

Sorry for the delay closing-out this thread but I work from a rural location and we lost our internet service for the two-weeks prior to the holidays. Now back on-line so let's wrap-up.
Oracle and SQLServer are now both being accessed from my ADO.Net application, so a big thanks to all who've helped me with this first use of the forum. Hopefully these final comments might help someone else in turn...
In migrating from SQLServer to Oracle I initially found it hard to stop thinking about accessing multiple databases on a single dataserver and start thinking more about a single instance of a database that supports muliple users, any one of which can be assigned the same schema. While I had used the SQL CREATE command to produce miltiple databases within SQLServer, it serves a completely different purpose for Oracle, creating an entirely new instance that I did not require.
Other differences that I ran in to included Oracle utilizing 'sequences' to autoincrement identities, whereas SQLServer lets you specify the identify while creating a table (here SQLServer may simplify declaration but Oracle's approach may be more powerful, e.g. if the same identity applies across multiple tables). Also ADO.NET command parameters use an '@' prefix in SQLServer but ':' for Oracle. But by-and-large few changes were required to my SQL to get up and running with Oracle (I found the 'Oracle Database SQL Reference' useful but no substitute for logging into Oracle and just trying each string in the 'SQL Commands' area).
Clearly I'm no database expert and I've barely scratched the surface with Oracle, but after logging in through the 'Database Home Page' I've found Oracle to offer a very 'clean' and logical interface that made it easy to move around the application and get a 'feel' for its organization and what it can do before digging furhter into the documentation. The 'Object Browser' is also a great way to quickly view and edit your various tables, views, sequences, triggers, etc., and ditto your data. In short, I think I'm going to like Oracle.
Thanks again and bye for now.

Siebel Database migration from IBM DB2 to Oracle

Hi ,
We are planning to migrate Siebel / OBIEE db form the existing DB2 to Oracle db. Can some please help us, what are the points we need to consider.
Also please let us know if you find any hurdles during the same.
Regards
Muni

Hello Kumar
Typically for Packaged Apps you don't have to migrate database objects like stored procedures, triggers, views etc as the app will have its own database specific seed schema. What needs to be migrated/ported is the customizations done to the app in the source environment and the transaction data to the target and ofcourse a thorough testing is recommended.
So the migration process typically is :
1. Install Siebel for Oracle (schema and data access layer).
2. Implement customizations in Oracle.
3. Migrate transaction data from source DB to Oracle.
4. Test.
Oracle has a group that can help with this process. Let me know and I will put you in touch with them.

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).

Very difficult migration from MS Access to Oracle with SQL Developer

Dear Developers
I have tried to used for one Project Oracle Sql Developer Migration from Access to Oracle (Application Express). Was about an evaluation if Oracle Express (with Application Express) or Mysql (with PHP) as target database.
I am working with Oracle for 14 years and i earn my money in projects related with Oracle. Of course i am sentimental and i push every time when an opportunity comes to have as an option Oracle.
This time beside my sentimental approach the decision was different.
I will tell you why and i hope that someone there will listen and make something for a better Product.
I was trying yesterday the whole day to migrate an Microsoft Access database. A nightmare....
1. Microsoft Access Exporter 2000 was too slow. For a 25 MB Access database, running time was 15 Minutes. And 15 minutes to obtain an undocumented error. I followed your instruction and eliminate all references etc... as you described in HELP. a lot of time necessary to read and do..... After that i obtained an Error #..16. Sorry that i don't provide you with an exact number error. i don't have it right know and personally i am not interested anymore. For this error i don't find nothing in forums about it.... Search again and again..... Every time after waiting 15 Minutes in which you don't know exactly what application does or if really does something. I decided to delete sequentially macros, modules, forms, querys from Access database and see where Exporter stops... Time and time lost for trying and searching.... Finally i obtained my XML file only by keeping my Access tables. The file was produced even if i obtained at the end Error #5:..... Because was an error i am not really sure if the file was completly consistent with my database.
2. I followed the next steps and with some errors (enabling, disabling constraints, objects couldn't be created because of different reasons) i had my Model and Oracle Schema. I have tried to export the data from Access and import it in Oracle. data exported was in UTF8 and SQL Loader Control file doesn't have
LOAD DATA
character set utf8
So i tried to add the string "character set utf8" in my dozens of CTL files - with a freeware of course.....
Maybe you can say that if i knew that from the beginning i would have set my character set in SQL Developer. I don't know and i will not ever try with this product!
So finally after hours of working and trying and playing with my nerves, reading a lot of forums and documentation, i had an Oracle schema, maybe incomplete because of different errors at so much migration stages.
And now i have tried for the first time in my life MySQL Migration Toolkit. I read that for migration to MYSQL this tool is what i needed.
I recommend you to try the product and see something about the quality required for a piece of software. Is not enough if your product runs OK with Nortwind DEMO Access database. It should run OK with all ACCESS databases.
With the tool i have done the job in 5 MINUTES. Simple, efficiently and without errors. At the end i had the SQL Scripts and the DATA imported in the database.
Difficult to say something now. I am sentimental but i asked mysef if you can do something to improve the quality of the product.
What arguments can we provide for a client in Migration from Access to Oracle ???? Can you honestly answer at that?
Please try this MYSQL Migration Toolkit.....Maybe this give you some ideas about simple tasks and about what we really need...
Best regards
Adrian

Dear Barry and Kgronau
Thank you very much for your response. My Post was after a long day of trying to import an MDB file.
Maybe you can understand why i was so angry...
Yes i understand that your tool try to do more than other even if actually you don't really convert too much.
From Modules to make some procedures where the whole code is commented! .....
For other MDB which i tried to import in APEX the forms where really not usable. Queries are full of errors requires most of the time manual corrections.
I am sorry that i can not provide you with this MDB which cause these problems.
Data and software doesn't belong to me and the company which own it can not provide to you.
What i hope from your product is, even when errors come, to show a better error explanation. At what object in Access error ocures ? This is very important because i can correct my MDB or just delete the module,form,query in cause if SQL Developer doesn't like it....
Just showing an error Error #.... doesn't help me too much. And if an error occurs i don't know if program continues to work or is dead. No information about this. Maybe you can show that your application is alive and does something (working status etc...) ! Anyway we wait long minutes in front of dead screen....
Again, thank you very much for your attention
Adrian
