Migrating MS Access queries

Hello,
Can someone point me to a free tool for automatic conversion of Access queries (SELECTs) to Oracle views. Any other advice or help on the issue would also be appreciated.
10x in advance

Hello Herta,
sorry for the delay, but just found your thread.
The MS Access Migration has been dropped from the SQL Developer V4 as the JDK 1.7 does not have the JDBC/ODBC bridge included anymore. The V4 option is only offering the "Copy to Oracle" function which works when you open the MS Access connection, check out the tables present and then do a right click on that table and select "Copy to Oracle".
Another option would be to use the 3.2 SQL Developer release.

Migration MS ACCESS to Oracle ApEX

Hi All,
We have just started with migration MS ACCESS 2000 based application to Oracle Database(10...),front end being ApEX 3.0 now.
After first migration of application today i noticed that All Queries(129 total) are invalid.Analysys shows that Query coming to Oracle is similar to that in MS ACCESS and no views have been created e.g.:
MS ACCESS query:
SELECT [ClientPricing_History].[ClientID], [Client List].[ClientAbbrev], Last([ClientPricing_History].[EffectiveStart]) AS LastOfEffectiveStart, Last([ClientPricing_History].[EffectiveEnd]) AS LastOfEffectiveEnd
FROM ClientPricing_History INNER JOIN [Client List] ON [ClientPricing_History].[ClientID]=[Client List].[ClientID]
GROUP BY [ClientPricing_History].[ClientID], [Client List].[ClientAbbrev];
The same query comes in Oracle,as we know that symbols like '[' or ']' are not supported by Oracle.
Secondly no views have been created and thridly many MS ACCES funciton like 'LAST()' are not supported in Oracle.
Can some one Give the initial inputs that how to correct them automatically rhater thna taking Manual steps to correct each of the 129 queris manually.?
Many thx....

Migration MS ACCESS FORMS and Reports to Oracle (Java or Forms or Reports)

Hello ,
can someone tell me, how i can migrate a whole MS ACCESS 2000 mdb (with forms and Reports) to Oracle.
I think i have first migrate the Access DB with the OMWB to Oracle and in the next Step to convert the VBA Code to JAVA or Forms9i.
BUT Is there a tool available for Migrating VBA code like the OMWB ????

I don't know if this is an obvious question, but do you have MS Access 2k installed on the machine you are trying to run this from? I'm assuming yes.
If you do and there is still a problem, you should log a ticket for support who will take your mdb and help out with the issue for you.
Many thanks

SQL Developer 1.5.4 failed to migrate MS Access 2002 database

Hello,
I tried to migrate a MS Access 2002 Database to Oracle.
Migration of tables failed in both ways:
Exporter for MS Access Rel. 3.2.0.00.13 displayed the following error:
Error #5 - XMLExporter - Ungültiger Prozeduraufruf oder ungültiges Argument c:\Access\Stammdaten_Beton_test.mdb Database Schema Export did not complete successfully.
(translated German parts: "Invalid procedure call or invalid argument")
When using quick migration wizard also an error "Ungültiger Prozeduraufruf oder ungültiges Argument" is raised after Access starts.
AutoExec, "ShowSplashScreen("_OracleSplashScreen",3)".
Any ideas?
Access version is MS Access 2002 SP3 (German) on a German Windows XP SP3 system.
Thank you and best regards

Migration from Access to Oracle 10g (Problem with migration wizard)

Hi
I have an access database which I want to migrate to Oracle DB.
I have created 2 connections.
1. Access connection with the source database
2. Oracle connection.
I have associated the oracle connection to the repository.
When I go through 'MIGRATION WIZARD' process. I am not able to view the source database file while capturing. Tried it several times.
Need a help in this
Regards,
Arjun

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.
Regards
Wolfgang

Migration from Access with SQL Developer 1.2.2998 Does not migrate Relation

I've almost successfully migrated an Access database to Oracle with SQL Developer with Quick Migration Option. Everything went all right, except for the tables relationships... they were not migrated. Have I forgot to do something?

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)
/CreationDate (D:20120521131845+02'00')
>>
endobj
5 0 obj
<<
/N 3
/Length 12 0 R
/Filter /FlateDecode
>>
stream
Did you also get the missing mime type error message?

Multiple columns in migrating MS Access

Migration workbench Access 97 -> Oracle 8.1.6
During capture of source data, multiple columns are generated for each table. In fact, columns of one table are duplicated on all others tables ==> building of Oracle model hangs for violation of unique constraint.
Thanks for your help to fix it.

DatabaseMetadata.getColumns() if you want to get the data on some table in the DB
or
ResultSetMetaData.getColumnCount() and ResultSetMetaData.getColumnName() if you want to get the data on a result returned from some query.

Calling MS Access queries from Java

Anyone have any idea if it's possible to call MS Access queries from Java? I have a client who is insistent on keeping MS Access for their database, and it'd be nice if I didn't have to receate all their queries in Java.
I've successfully connected to and queried the Access MDB, but I need to know if it's even possible to execute the stored MS Access queries they have setup in the database.
Thanks!

Copying Access Queries to Query Builder instead of SQL Commands

Is there a way to copy Microsoft Access Queries to Query Builder (saved sql) instead of SQL Commands (saved sql)...Thanks in advance.

Hello,
No, that functionality does not exist currently, you would need to build your own.
If you search this forum there are a few threads which detail how you can install the Application Builder and SQL Workshop applications into the APEX environment itself so you can see how they (meaning the Oracle team) have built those apps.
Hope this helps,
John.

Migrate from Access 97 to Oracle using Migration Work Bench to mi

When I try to use Migration work bench to migrate an Access 97 database to Oracle using OWB I get "failed to truncate Source Model ORA-00942 tables or view does not exist" error message and I could not go further.
This happens during clearing the Source Model. Doe any one know what is this error means or any one had this problem before.
Thanks
Myl

Hi Njha,
Did you create the Source Model using OMWB and then delete the tables in the OMWB repository manually ? Or is there a chance that the tables in your repository could have been corrupted in some way ? The OMWB is simply trying to truncate the tables it filled when a previous attempt was made to capture the source model before it re-populates the tables with data from your subsequent attempt at a capture. If the tables it is trying to truncate have been deleted or are corrupt, this error will be displayed.
A workaround to your problem would be to drop the schema you are using for the OMWB repository and create a new one.
I hope this helps,
Tom.
