Migrating Japanese Characters from MS SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 9i usng Jsp

Hi ,
I have a situation where the Japanese characters are to be migrated from MS SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 91 and then render the same using JSP.
I followed the below approach,
1. Extract the Japanese data from MS SQL Server and generate an XML
2. Parse the XML and store it into Oracle 9i database which is of UTF-8 encoding.
3. On retreiving and rendering using the Shift-JIS adds few junk characters additionally.
When I try to copy paste the Japanese contents from XML to a text file, it is working fine.
Could some one help me in resolving this issue?
It is very urgent, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is documentation in the reference guide sent with the workbench, there is this discussion forum, the support web page (which includes tech notes and FAQ's), and the company specific procedural language documentation.
There is also an older document for use with the old sybase toolkits which may be obscelete, and there are some internal documents which were for internal consumption.

Migrating 250gb from ms sql server 2000 to oracle

Hi,
i am trying to migrate data from sql server 2000 to oracle. I have tried the online method and it takes more than a day to copy one table with 250 million rows. Currently i am trying the offline method of using migration scripts with sql loader.
this also seems to be taking a very long time for the single table with 250 million rows. Is there an effective way of doing this? please help
thanks

Well, lets look at what you're doing. You're using jdbc/odbc to move 250,000,000 rows. thats like using a straw to pump gas. We recommend that any migration over 10-20 MB should be done using the offline data move.
A couple of questions
1. How fast does the bcp go? How long does it take to complete?
2. When using SQL Loader, are you loading it in raw format? Have you switched off any indexes on the table? Do you have the capability to load in parallel?
Theres a lot you can do with the SQL Loader side to make it a lot fast. You might also want to consider dropping a note on the database forum too.

Problem in Loading Data from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

Hi All,
I am a university student and using ODI for my final project on real-time data warehousing. I am trying to load data from MS SQL Server 2000 into Oracle 10g target table. Everything goes fine until I execute the interface for the initial load. When I choose the CKM Oracle(Create unique index on the I$ table) km, the following step fails:
21 - Integration - Prj_Dim_RegionInterface - Create Unique Index on flow table
Where Prj_Dim_Region is the name of my target table in Oracle.
The error message is:
955 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object

I am using a surrogate key column in my target table alongwith the natural key. The natural key is populated by the primary key of my source table, but for the surrogate key, I have created a sequence in my oracle schema where the target table exists and have used the following code for mapping:
<%=snpRef.getObjectName( "L" , "SQ_PRJ_DIM_REGION" , "D" )%>.nextval
I have chosen to execute this code on target.
Among my attempts to solve this problem was to set Create Index option of the CKM Oracle(Create Index for the I$ Table) to No so that it wont create any index on the flow table. I also tried to use the simple CKM Oracle km . Both solutions allowed the interface to execute successfully without any errors, but the data was not loaded into the target table.
When I right-click on the Prj_Dim_Region data store and choose Data, it shows empty. Pressing the SQL button in this data store shows a dialog box " New Query" where I see this query:
select * from NOVELTYFURNITUREDW.PRJ_DIM_REGION
But when i press OK to run it, I get this error message:

Hi Cezar,
Can u plz help me with this scenario?
I have one Oracle data model with 19 source tables and one SQL Server data model with 10 target tables. I have created 10 interfaces which use JournalizedDataOnly on one of the tables in the interface; e.g in interface for DimCustomer target table, I have 2 tables, namely Customer and Address, but the journalizing filter appear only on Customer table and this option is disabled for Address automatically.
Now I want to create a package using OdiWaitForLog event detection. Is it possible to put all these 10 interfaces in just one package to populate the target tables? It works fine when I have only one interface and I use the name of one table in the interface for Table Name parameter of OdiWaitForLogData event, but when I try a comma seperated list of table names[Customer, Address] this error happens
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
and if I use this method <%=odiRef.getObjectName("L","model_code","logical_schema","D")%>, I get this error
"-CDC_SET_NAME=Exception getObjectName("L", "model_code", "logical_schema", "D") : SnpLSchema.getLSchemaByName : SnpLschema does not exist" "
Please let me know how to make it work?
Do I need to create separate data models each including only those tables which appear in their corresponding interface and package? Or do I need to create multiple packages each with only one journalized interface to populate only one target table?
Thank you for your time in advance.

Neel

DB Migration from MS SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 9i

Hi Guys
I want to migrate the data from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 9i.
Could ou please suggest me the how to proceed.
I can simply extract the das in CSV format as their are Foreign key , Primary key concept is there. So what will be the best way to proceed ....
regards
Macky

Macky,
In the coming months we will add support for SQL Server 2005 to the Oracle Migration Workbench. See our statement of direction on OTN for more details.
If you have extracted the data into a csv file format, you could construct a SQL Loader control file to load this data, assuming you have already created the table on the Oracle side.

How to Migrate my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle

I want to transfer my database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle, Can I do this without using Oracle Migration Workbench ??
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Vicky... :-)

Do you have a good technical reason for not wanting to use the Migration Workbench?
Given that it's free and does a hell of a lot of the work for you, why wouldn't you use it?
Other than that, I would say you would be on your own...
cheers,

Trying to migrate SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g.

Hi.
I´m trying to migrate from Sql Server 2000 to Oracle 10g and I got some troubles.
I have connected both databases with my Oracle Sql Server, after that I went to the Menu--> Migrate--> Fast Migration and then fill all the steps necesary.
I can see the repository`s table at the oracle schema but after that the Sql Developer hang at the point "capture". I let the tool work for 2 hours and nothing to do. It´s not a hughe db so could be done faster.
May I miss something?.
Thanks.

Hi
I also have similar issue when trying to migrate from MS SQL 2005 to oracle 10g.
I use the SQL Developer Version 2.1.0.63.
First, I tried to use 'Quick Migration' then it created repository then stop there with error message
"Error ocurred during capture: ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("DDHCOWNER"."MD_PROJECTS"."ID")"
Then, try manual way to capture SQL server, but some how it doesn't work. It just refresh IDE and stop.
Before this activity, I tried to migrate MS SQL 2005 using 'Quick Migration' and it works. But this time I have to do it on another DB then this happened.
So I re-try the previous connection then encountered the same to all.
Thus, please kindly help to advice how to solve this problem.
Thank you so much.

Store&read chinese characters in MS SQL server 2000 using Java

Hi,
I have a problem to store Chinese characters in MS SQL Server 2000, storing question marks(??????) instead of Chinese characters
I am using JSF framework, SUN APPLICATION Server 9.1 , MS SQL Server 2000 server and Microsoft data source driver class (com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource) to connect db.
I have one solution:
IN JSP:
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
and
In database column type should nvarchar in place of varchar
while inserting or updating the same need to add N prefix with the value like insert into client(Name, Id .) values (N+)
the above is working fine but the problem is here i have already defined database with 100s of tables I cant change database tables as well as queries
Thanks,
Sathi

I don't know any betterer option, than to copy the database tabels redefining the Chinese data fields as nvarchar.
To be frank I had also problems writing to a html file Chinese text stored in MS SQLServer 2000 nvarchar fields.
The following worked:'
     public String getEncodedData(ResultSet resultSet, int columnIndex, String charset)
     throws SQLException
          //final String methodName = "getEncodedData";
          InputStream binaryStream =resultSet.getBinaryStream(columnIndex);
          String readStringFromStream=readStringFromStream(binaryStream, charset);//UTF_16LE);
          return readStringFromStream;
     public String readStringFromStream(InputStream inputStream, String charset) {
          final String methodName = "readStringFromStream";
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
          try {
               int ch;
               InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(inputStream, charset);
               Reader in = new BufferedReader(isr);
               while ((ch = in.read()) > -1) {
                    buffer.append((char)ch);
               in.close();
               return buffer.toString();
          } catch (IOException exception) {
               Log.printError(this,methodName, exception);
               return null;
     }And writing it to file:
     public void writeEncodedStringToFile(String text, String filePath, String charset, boolean append){
          final String methodName = "writeEncodedStringToFile";
          OutputStreamWriter writer= null;
          try {
               FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(filePath, append);
               writer = new OutputStreamWriter(fileOutputStream, charset);
               writer.write(text);
          } catch (IOException exception) {
               Log.printError(this,methodName, exception);
          }finally{
               try {
                    writer.close();
               } catch (IOException exception) {

General question on SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

Hello all,
I just have a general question on migration from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g using SQL Developer.
How does it migrate Users with proper privileges from SQL Server to Oracle? Follow the interface steps? Or should the users be created on destination Oracle side?
Thank you.

Hi,
It depends which type of migration you are making.
For a 'Standard' migration when you migrate data a 'create user' statement is created as part of the migration and you will see this in the generated code.
If you are using the 'Quick' migration option then you need to create the Oracle user or use an existing user to receive the data.
Your best option is to review the documentation available from -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
or directly from -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm
and then get back with specific questions if this does not give you the information you need.
Review the chapter -
2. Migrating Third-Party Databases

Converting SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 9i

Hi,
I am working on the migration of stored procs from a SQL Server 2000 database to Oracle 9i. The sqlsrvr db contains 75 relatively complex procs using temporary tables to create intermediate resultsets for further processing.
The Oracle 9i environment has very strictly standards and temporary tables are not allowed.
Is it standard practice to use PL/SQL tables to simulate the functionality of temp tables?
I understand you can now use SQL against PL/SQL tables under certain circumstances.
I would envisage using the PL/SQL tables in multi-table joins with schema tables.
Any ideas whether I am going down the wrong path.
Thanks in advance,
Garrett Donnelly

Garrett,
Note that there is also an parser option to 'Generate8i temp tables', where the data in the permanent tables is seperated from other sessions by the use of an extra Session id colum.
Please post the results of your PL/SQL table experiences.

Turloch

Query Perofmance is much more fast in SQL server 2000 than Oracle 9i

I have converted a database from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle (9.0.2).
In a stored procedure a query based on 4 tables working well in SQL Server which takes just 1 or 2 minutes to give result But in Oracle it takes 3 to 4 Hours to return the results.Although Database hit ratio is 99 plus %. In Oracle when i created indexes on 2 columns of 2 tables it just take 5 to 10 sec. But I want to get the result in less time without indexes. Because in
SQL Server it Works well without indexes.
Please reply me with some solutions or reasons

Most sites have a job that runs every night to keep the statistics up to date.Really? I would be very surprised if that was the case. Firstly, many sites don't want to take the hit of running stats for a whole system each night. Secondly, I would hope that many DBAs know this statement...
Always keep up to date statistics if you want your database to be efficent. ...is wrong.
The best that can happen from refreshing the statistics every night is that it makes no difference to your application. If your application is running nicely - that is, no users are yelling at you - then your current statistics are good enough. Refreshing statistics introduces instability into the system and might lead to queries performing worse than before.
Gathering stats is not the sort of thing you want to do with a scattergun. Analyze your database once, after you've reached what is a representative data volume and then leave it alone. Only refresh statistics if you have a specific issue (user complaint) and you think stale statistics might be the cause.

JDBC to access SQL server 2000 and Oracle.

hi,
I have the following requirement. I have an oracle database which contain sql data including BLOB and CLOB. Firstly, I should migrate the data to a SQL server 2000 database. That is, i should be able to have two databases, one on oracle and the other on sql server 2000. the two databases should contain the same data, which includes BLOB data. I guess, sql server 2000 does not have a BLOB data type. What is the equivalent data type i can use to save the Oracle's BLOB data in SQL server?? Should it be image type?
After i migrate the data to the sql server 2000 database, i should be able to connect to the two databases, oracle and sql server 2000, using the same JDBC code to retrieve, insert, update and delete the data. What are the drivers that i should use. I guess, the MS JDBC driver does not support BLOB and CLOB. Is there a driver that can support BLOB for sql server 2000 and is also free???!
Kindly help... Thanks.
Arthi.

Hi,
I am new to jdbc... so, pls forgive my ignorance...
I shall try to map a BLOB data column in oracle to an IMAGE data column in sql server 2000. I am using oracle jdbc driver and microsoft's jdbc driver for connecting to the databases.
My question is, can i use setBlob() method in the preparedstatement in jdbc code for setting data to the sql server 2000 image column?
rs.getBlob() and preparedstatement.setBlob()code works fine for oralce's BLOB column using oracle's jdbc driver.... Will the same jdbc code work for sql server 2000's image column using microsoft's jdbc driver??
Kindly help.
Arthi.
