Migrating NULL values in tables from oracle to MS SQL

Hi,
I am migrating Oracle 11g database to MS SQL server 2014 using SSMA.
Currently, when I migrate data, all (null) values in oracle tables are migrated as NULL to SQL.
However, I want to migrate null values in oracle tables to blank space in SQL.
Is it possible?
Is there any setting in SSMA which supports this?
Thanks.

Hi ManiC24m,
In SSMA, there is no setting we can modify to migrate null values in Oracle tables to blank space in SQL Server. As Prashanth’s post, after the migration, you can replace the null values with blank space via the following Transact-SQL statements in
SQL Server.
USE <DatabaseName>
Go
UPDATE <TableName> SET <ColumnName>=''
WHERE <ColumnName> IS NULL
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

Could i replicate table from Oracle 10g to sql server online. we have tables with same configuration and if any change happen in oracle 10g or sql server in that table we need to replicate that change to other database.
What is the solution for this two way replication between sql server and Oracle 10g

But the tutorial is saying that i will have to install Oracle database on the server already having sql server, is it client or whole database, if it is then it will acquire lot of resource.
I want to find out that for Heterogenous Service ODBC, we need third party software for ODBC Driver of SQL SERVER for Linux and secondly if we use Transparent Gateway then what are the steps for its configuration.
I could not find steps of configuration of Transoparent gateway, when i am trying to install Transparent gateway from Universal installer, it is not there. where do i find it , Do i need to purchase it too.

Create and insert into table from Oracle to MS SQL server.

Hello,
Oracle Database 11g and Red hat 5
I have a very different kind of issue. I am handling the ORACLE db(remote db with all the important data). On the other side their is a MS SQL server db(local db with some testing data in it). All the users will access the ORACLE db for the actual processing but for sometime they need to apply some of their own concepts. So they will transfer the data from ORACLE to MS sql server.
I want to create a code in ORACLE db like a procedure , which will create a table in MS sql server , insert data into it,Also create some metadata table to keep some of my table's info on MS SQL serve db,If the table is present it should append the data, .... like many things ...
Overall my question is , how can i write a code to make these operation on a remote db, that to these operations are DDL and on MS SQL Server(Non-Oracle) ???
Please guide me with some ideas or solutions ...
Also provide if you have some good links to study ...
thanks in advance.

I'm not sure why you never visit http://tahiti.oracle.com prior to asking any question. Is it forbidden in your locale? Are you afraid of it? Will your salary be decreased when you visit the documentation?
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db111/search?word=sql+server&partno=

Moving table from oracle 10g to sql server 2005 plz help!!!

Hi All,
I have a table in oracle that i have to move to sql server.
I have exported the table and the dmp file is around 150 MB.
I do not know how to import this file into sql server.
Can some one kindly update me as to which is the best way to do this,
i know the best people to answer this would be the sql server techs but just wanted to try my luck on OTN.
regards,

Hello,
you could use the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server, create a database link that uses the gateway, and then transfer the data from Oracle to SQL Server using in SQLPlus a command like the following:
copy from scott/tiger@ora102 -
insert TEST1@dg4msql -
using select * from test1@ora102 ;
Another solution is using a PL/SQL block, and how to do it is described in the following note in My Oracle Support:
"Insert Into Remote Table Select * From Local Table" Gives Error ORA-02025 Using DG4MSQL (Doc ID 790572.1)
I don't know whether it is the "best way to do it", but it is an alternative.
For inserting a flat file into SQL Server you really need to check with Microsoft. Or you can use 3rd party software: http://www.dbload.com/

How do we migrate Hyperion HFM/FDM database from Oracle to MS SQL?

So I have this issue at hand and have ideas that I need to run by people with some expertise. I need to change the databases from Oracle to SQL in a completely new Hyperion installation. I am keeping the version 11.1.2.3 as is. No upgrades.
So I am thinking, Install EPM from scratch into new environment.
Then for HFM just use application copy utility.
For FDM, copy the application file structure and then use SSMA tool to convert the database from Oracle to SQL then configure FDM to new database.
I need to know if there is a better method than these.
Thank you in advance.

HDM - Copy App Utility, DRM - Use the upgrade wizard should work across same version, FDM is more tricky is the no way you can access the original Oracle db from 11.1.2.3, if so then export everything from workbench.

What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

Hello MS,
I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
Is it:
- the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
- the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
- not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
- flat file *.csv (delimited format)
Thanks!

Hi lingodingo,
If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:

How to migrate a table from ORACLE 10g to 8i

have table named 'liuxg_tab_01' in 10g.
This morning I exported this table using 'exp' and then tried to imp it into 8i, I failed.
After a while, I created a database link named 'ctf' in 8i which connected to 10g. I issued 'create table test as selct * from liuxg_tab_01@ctf',it returns 'ORA-01723'.
Then I extraced the DDL of 'liuxg_tab_01' from 10g with QUEST TAOD, it's:
CREATE TABLE LIUXG_TAB_01
OWNER VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
SUBOBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
OBJECT_ID NUMBER,
DATA_OBJECT_ID NUMBER,
OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2(19 BYTE),
CREATED DATE,
LAST_DDL_TIME DATE,
TIMESTAMP VARCHAR2(19 BYTE),
STATUS VARCHAR2(7 BYTE),
TEMPORARY VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
GENERATED VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
SECONDARY VARCHAR2(1 BYTE)
But I can not create a table using the upper DDL in 8i if I do not wipe off those "BYTES".
After creation of the table using the upper DDL without those 'BYTES', I sucessfully executed 'insert into LIUXG_TAB_01 select * from liuxg_tab_01@ctf'.
Anyone has a better method to move a table from ORACLE 10g to 8i?

1) The particular version of 8i and 10g in use here would be useful. I'm not sure that Oracle supports database links between any version of 8i and any version of 10g, though, so you're probably lucky that it worked as well as it did.
10g 10.1.0.3.0 and 8i 8.1.7.0.0
2) What version of the export utility did you use? You would need to use the 8i version to generate the dump file to have any chance of working, not the 10g verion.
I use the 'exp' provided with 10g 10.1.0.3.0 and 'imp' with 8i 8.1.7.0.0. I have tried to export data directly from 10g 10.1.0.3.0 using 'exp' provided with 8i 8.1.7.0.0. Failed.
3) Why? Since 8i is desupported, there isn't a lot of call for tools to move data from supported releases to unsupported releases.
We have an 8i DB which is still porivding insentive services. We just wanna migrate some tales from 10g to it.
FYI, NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS was introduced in 9i, so it's no suprise that 8i objected to the BYTE keyword in the DDL.
What's FYI :P
Another option would be to generate a CSV file of the data from 10g and use SQL*Loader to load it into 8i. Not sure this would be any easier, though.

Regarding database migration from Oracle to MS SQL

Hi All,
In my application, the existing database is oracle. we need to migrate from Oracle db to MS SQL.
We need procedure is as below
1.export data from Oracle and keep it in a file.(.dmp)
2.Import data to MS SQL from the exported oracle file.
and vice versa from MS SQL to Oracle.
my question is- is it possible to import .bmp (oracle export data) into MS SQL.
Please clarify me.

There are couple of options to get data from Oracle to MS SQL.
The simplest is to create a linked server in MS SQL that points to Oracle and copy data with a query like select * into my_mssqlTable from oracle.schema.table; via the linked server.
Some data types will not be supported.
That is for one time copy.
If you need a close to real time replication you can use MS replication (I would not recommend because it creates triggers on Oracle tables), or you can use GoldenGate or DataCurrents or other replication products.

Data migration from Oracle to MS SQL using SSIS

Hi friends,
I know this question must have been asked by many who are beginners to SSIS like me about migrating data from oracle database to sql server database but i still would like to raise this query again.
I have table called tbl_employee_oracle in oracle database from where i need to retrive the latest records(eg. latest record of each employee) from the table and populate the result into the sql server database table which is tbl_employee_sqlserver
using ssis.
The logic i thought of doing this is as below;
1. Retrive all employees records from oracle database table.
2. Dump these records into a temporary table(will have same table structure as in oracle database) in sql server.
3. Creating a stored procedure in sql server which will contain logic to select the most recent records from this temporary table.
4. Populate this result set into the final table of sql server.
Please suggest me if working on this logic is worth and any alternate logic to accomplish this task.

There are many opitons, but choose among for your scenario
1. If your employee table is small with less than a few hundreds of record, you want to choose SCD Type 1 if not preserving histoy, incase of preserving history of records choose SCD2,
2. If you have less than few millions of records you can choose look up to direct unmatched records to insert into Sql Server Destination and direct matched records could be updated using OLEDB Destination or Try Merge Left outer Join
transform.
3. If you have several millions of records, you may want to use your above method.
4. Configuring to use CDC could be last option where there are large volumes of updates and inserts every few min to hours. But I'm not sure if this option can be set in Oracle Source.
Please mark this post as answer if it resolves your Problem. You may even mark it as helpful. Thanks

Retrieve data from a large table from ORACLE 10g

I am working with a Microsoft Visual Studio Project that requires to retrieve data from a large table from Oracle 10g database and export the data into the hard drive.
The problem here is that I am not able to connect to the database directly because of license issue but I can use a third party API to retrieve data from the database. This API has sufficient previllege/license permission on to the database to perform retrieval of data. So, I am not able to use DTS/SSIS or other tool to import data from the database directly connecting to it.
Here my approach is...first retrieve the data using the API into a .net DataTable and then dump the records from it into the hard drive in a specific format (might be in Excel file/ another SQL server database).
When I try to retrieve the data from a large table having over 13 lacs records (3-4 GB) in a data table using the visual studio project, I get an Out of memory exception.
But is there any better way to retrieve the records chunk by chunk and do the export without loosing the state of the data in the table?
Any help on this problem will be highly appriciated.
Thanks in advance...

Girish...Thanks for your reply...But I am sorry for the confusions. Let me explain that...
1."export the data into another media into the hard drive."
What does it mean by this line i.e. another media into hard drive???
ANS: Sorry...I just want to write the data in a file or in a table in SQL server database.
2."I am not able to connect to the database directly because of license issue"
huh?? I never heard this question that a user is not able to connect the db because of license. What error / message you are getting?
ANS: My company uses a 3rd party application that uses ORACLE 10g. And my compnay is licensed to use the 3rd party application (APP+Database is a package) and did not purchased ORACLE license to use directly. So I will not connect to the database directly.
3.I am not sure which API is you are talking about, but i am running an application of the visual studio data grid or similar kind of controls; in which i can select (select query) as many rows as i needed; no issue.
ANS: This API is provided by the 3rd party application vendor. I can pass a query to it and it returns a datatable.
4."better way to retrieve the records chunk by chunk and do the export without loosing the state of the data in the table?"
ANS: As I get a system error (out of memory) when I select all rows in a datatable at a time, I wanted to retrieve the data in multiple phases.
E.g: 1 to 20,000 records in 1st phase
20,001 to 40,000 records in 2nd phase
40,001 to ...... records in 3nd phase
and so on...
Please let me know if this does not clarify your confusions... :)
Thanks...

How i can load excel sheet into a table in oracle through pl/sql procedure

Hi,
How i can load excel sheet into a table in oracle through pl/sql procedure or a pl/sql block. Excel sheet is saved on my c or d drive on my machine. In xls format.

Depending on how big your spreadsheet is and how frequently you want to do this you might want to contruct insert statements in excel, then run these. I have done this to load a few hundred rows for a one off test on dev.
e.g. if you have values 1 and 'a' in you spread sheet and want to insert them in to table xxx col1 & 2:
| /|   A   |   B   |    C
|1 |col1   |col2   |
|2 |      1|a      |="insert into xxx ("&$A$1&","&B1&") values ("&A2&",'"&B2&"');"then paste the contents of colum C
insert into xxx (col1,col2) values (1,'a');into sqlplus or a script.
