Migrating from SQL Server 2008.

What options do I have to migrate from 2008 to work around the quick migrate? How do I generate the capture scripts from the SQL Server database to bring into developer to bypass the utility?
Thanks

Wrong forum.
Oracle has a tool named "Migration Workbench" that should help you though I'd be surprised if it was compatible with any new SS 2008 features.
My preference, due to the strangeness that is SQL Server, is to reverse engineer objects to DDL and run the scripts and dump the data as vertical
bar delimited ASCII and load with Oracle SQL*Loader.
SQL Server 2008 has been out a very short time. I'd be interested in knowing why it is so quickly being abandoned. Thanks.

  • Migration from SQL SERVER 2008 to Oracle 10g issues.

    Hi ,
    I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 10g and I end up with some issues that I wanted to ask some info about it.
    First, I was following a tutorial
    http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
    and and in the last version of Oracle SQL developer I downloaded, I didn't find the Load Database Capture Script Output option.
    My first question is how can I either add this option or is there a new way to load the capture script ?
    Then I use the migration wizard and after following everything, I had the migration complete message from the application.
    When I tried to open my connectionss, it tells me version 11.2 is required. Does that mean that Oracle SQL developper 3 only
    do the migration for oracle 11g? And if I tried the previous versions, it doesn't support SQL server 2008.
    What do I do in this case ?
    Thanks !

    Thank you for your reply.
    After using the wizard and made the offline migration script, in the Migration projects window I made a move data to the oracle connection I previously made and after when I tried to reopen the connection, I couldn't.
    Well I didn't retry it yet to see if I'll have the same behavior but basically this is what I think I did. When I tried to open the connection I made, it says, Oracle 11.2 is required.
    Now, I just generate target from the convert model and it says migration complete but how do I test it and I do I go to oracle and see change ?
    Do I had to create a special user in SQL Server to log to it first ? How do I logon to it ?

  • Migration from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g

    Hi there,
    I have a quick question, Anyone who have experienced to migration procedures,function from SQL Server 2008 to 11g R2. Is it possible? I migrated tables and views through Oracle heterogenious servinces but I am not sure about the fucntions and procedures.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Warm regards,

    Automated conversions are possible. After these conversions the system will pretty much run. However, and it can be a pretty big HOWEVER, performance could well take a hit - which the uninitiated or SQL Server acolytes will seek to blame on Oracle not being very good. This is not actually the case.
    You could be in for a major review and rewrite. Besides the syntax differences in the procedural languages, there is a huge - like really huge - difference in transaction control, isolation, and read consistency. Basically, keep in mind that Oracle reads do not block writes, writes do not block reads, and there are no dirty reads. Writes only block other writes. Thus, no coding 'tricks' are needed to get around these blockers. Oracle has global temporary tables that are generally used to help out those converting from SQL Server. In actuality, then are mostly not needed as you can almost always do your work in one SQL statement.
    Read the concepts guide from cover to cover, then do it again, then start looking at what you need to do to convert your procedural code.

  • ODBC Error when migrating from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Anywhere 12

    Hello community,
    i have the following requirement:
    I need to migrate a Database with some Demo data into a SQL Anywhere 12 Database. The SQL Anywhere 12 Database is part of the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP7 installation and came with the same as OEM Product.
    The Environment looks like the following:
    DB1 is a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 64 Bit running on Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit.
    DB2 is the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP7 installation with the shipped SQL Anywhere 12 (12.0.1.3873) Database running on SLES 11.3 64 Bit
    CL1 is my Windows 7 64 Bit Client where Sybase Central is installed in 64 Bit. On CL1 i have a 64 Bit System ODBC Connection connecting to DB1 successfully.
    Basically i followed the following (pretty straight forward) tutorial:
    Migrating a SQL Server Database to SQL Anywhere White Paper-Technical: Mobile Enterprise, Database Management iAnywhere …
    When i want to test the connection from inside Sybase Central (During the migration process) i receive the following error:
    From inside Sybase Central my connection looks as follows:
    And from the ODBC Manager the connection looks as follows:
    Personally i found is strange that the Sybase ODBC Driver Manager drops the error. I would expect that the MS SQL ODBC Driver Manager pops the error it its related to the ODBC DSN to DB1.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks and Regards
    -Seb.

    Hi Sebastian,
    The data from the SQL Server database must be migrated to an existing SQL Anywhere database.  Could you please tell me where this SQL Anywhere database resides and how are you connecting to it?
    The error message is saying that the connection to the SQL Anywhere remote database server is failing, as opposed to the connection to the SQL Server database.

  • How to delete the Folder from sql server 2008

    Hi all,
    I was trying to delete the folder from sql server 2008 with the below script
    DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
    DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(8000)
    DECLARE @folderName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
    SET @folderName = + (CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE()-7, 112))  -- 7 days back date folder name
    SET @path = 'I:\Backup_Test\' + @folderName -- Folder path
    SET @cmd = 'del ' + @path -- Delete
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
    --Print @cmd
    This is not working it was asking the Confirmation (I:\Backup_Test\20100629\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? ) what will i do to the delete the folder.
    Thanks,
    Prasad R.

    I would notice   you that T-SQL does not play well to do things like that. Do not you want using .net language to delete folders?
    Old method is
    declare @HR int, @CFOLDER varchar(255),@FSO int
        set @CFOLDER='D:\folder\'
        EXEC @HR = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FSO OUT
        EXEC @HR = sp_OAMethod @FSO, null, 'DeleteFolder', @CFOLDER 
    Now regarding to your second question please examine xp_fileexist  system stored procedure
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@filename VARCHAR(300))
      RETURNS INT
    AS
    BEGIN
      DECLARE @file_exists AS INT
      EXEC master..xp_fileexist @filename, @file_exists OUTPUT
      RETURN @file_exists
    END
    GO
    -- test
    SELECT dbo.fn_file_exists('c:\a.txt')

  • 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.

    Are you migrating or taking continual updates?
    If migrating it might be worth considering The SQLDeveloper Migration Workbench (which moves more than just data)..

  • Data length problem migrating from sql server 7 to oracle 8i

    I just migrated SQL Server 7 database to Oracle 8i db and everything seemed to have ran ok except that in my newly created oracle database, the field size is doubled. For instance a field with nvarchar(4) in sql server would convert to varchar2(8). Has anyone ran into this problem and also does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you so much.

    Hi Roberto,
    You cannot use Workbench 1.2.2 to migrate from SQL Server 7 to
    Oracle 8.
    However, the good news is that we have a new verion of the
    workbench that will have a plugin that can migrate from SQL
    Server 7.0 to Oracle8.
    A beta version will be downloadable from this web-site in approx
    one week. Eventhough this version is a beta version, it has
    undergone some rigourous testing and is very close to production.
