Migrating SQL Server 7.0 Database to Oracle8i Enterprise Edition

Hello,
I am running SQL Server 7.0 and Oracle8i Enterprise Edition on a
Windows 2000 Server OS. I need to migrate the SQL Server 7.0 database
over to Oracle8i side. I have tried the SQL Server 7.0 export utility
and the Oracle8i import utility without much luck. I am now trying to
use the Migration Workbench for version 8.1.7 and am having even less
luck than the SQL Server 7.0 export utility. I have, also, tried
downloading Oracle's latest ODBC driver for v8.1.7 without any luck.
As far as I can tell, the problems are occuring with the BIT to
NUMBER(1) conversions (the data is captured as 0s and -1s instead of
0s and 1s) and the CROSS JOINs in the views.
I have also been to the otn.oracle.com news groups and there doesn't
seem to be much there either.
Has anyone had any success with the Migration Workbench and if so, how
many scripts, "massages", etc. needed to be done?
I have only begun working with Oracle in the last 3 weeks and would
TRUELY appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thank you in advance,
Ferda Taylor

Migrating SQL Server 7.0 to Oracle 8i in Different Operating Systems

I am migrating SQL Server 7.0 Databases on NT to Oracle 8i on Sun 2.6. Is there is any other way other then Migration Workbench.
If Mig Workbench is OK. What are the steps to do Migration.

Hi,
You can perform this action with the Oracle Migration Workbench. Just install the Workbench on the same machine as your SQL Server database.
You can then configure the workbench to point to the oracle database on your Sun machine.
You can use the Oracle database on your Sun machine for both your destination database (the database to which you migrate your SQL Server schema and data) and workbench repository.
In order to do this you will need to configure a tnsnames.ora entry. The tool that will do this configuration for you should be started up at the end of the workbench installation. It is a fairly straightfoward process.
You then need to create a user in your oracle database that will store the workbench repository.
Once you have comleted these steps you will be able to migrate SQL Server on NT to Oracle on Sun.
It is exactly the same process as migrating to Oracle on NT except you are pointing the Workbench to Oracle on a Sun box.

Migrating SQL Server database to Oracle 8i - any known issues

Hi,
I am in the process of migrating SQL Server database to Oracle 8i for testing purpose.
When I do migrate SQL Server database to Oracle 8i, am I doing any harm to the exiting
SQL Server database? Would the users be able to use SQL Server database as usual?? Are
there any known issues in this regard?
Please reply.
Thanks.
Ramesh

Ramesh Hi Ramesh!
The Migration Workbench does not make any modifications to the SQL Server database. It only reads information from it. Your users should be able to use the SQL Server database as usual.
Please note however that if you migrate the data over to Oracle using the Migration Workbench and your users continue to enter/update data in the exiting SQL Server database then you may need to move all that data over again in order to have the most up to date data in the Oracle database.

Error migrating SQL Server 2000 database to Oracle.

Hi,
I am new in SQL Developer.
I read most of the help manuals available on the net.
I am able to create connections to both SQL Server and Oracle database.
I am also able to create the migration repository on the Oracle database.
SQL server connection - TestSQL
Oracle database connection - TestOracle
Migration Repository - Migration_Repository.
Here is the problem am facing:
When I start Migrate to Oracle wizard, by right clicking the TestSQL database, I followed all the required steps and enter the necessary information. -
It starts creating the project - say, TEST but after that it gave the following error:
Migration actions have failed. Check the migration report for more details. : ORA-01400: cannot insert null into ("MIGRATIONS"."MD_PROJECT_ID").
Please help.

Thanks for your reply.
You are correct, there were some permission missing on the migration repository user.
I have given permissions and it worked fine.
but I can say that required permission mentioned in other posts and blogs on the Internet are not sufficient.
One has to provide more admin priviligies to this user.

Quick Migrate: SQL Server database to Oracle

Thanks
Murray

Murray,
Apologies for referring to the 1.5 documentation but the 2.1 documentation still has the same information about creating a user to hold the repository.
You initially reported 2 problems -
1. Locating source plugin...failed
2. Checking multi-schema privileges...Privilege 'CREATE ROLE" is not granted with admin option.
For the first error have you installed the necessary JDBC driver ? I have just installed SQL*Developer 2.1 on a new laptop and could successfully connect following the documentation steps -
Oracle® SQL Developer
User’s Guide
Release 2.1
2.5.2 Before Migrating From Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server
To configure a Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database for
migration:
1. Ensure that the source database is accessible by the Microsoft SQL Server or
Sybase Adaptive Server user that is used by SQL Developer for the source
connection. This user must be able to see any objects to be captured in the
Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server database; objects that the user
cannot see are not captured. For example, if the user can execute a stored
procedure but does not have sufficient privileges to see the source code, the stored
procedure cannot be captured.
2. Ensure that you can connect to the Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive
Server database from the system where you have installed SQL Developer.
3. Ensure that you have downloaded the JTDS JDBC driver from
http://jtds.sourceforge.net/.
4. In SQL Developer, if you have not already installed the JTDS driver using Check
for Updates (on the Help menu), do the following:
a. Click Tools, then Preferences, then Database, then Third Party JDBC Drivers.
b. Click Add Entry.
c. Select the jar file for the JTDS driver you downloaded from
http://jtds.sourceforge.net/.
d. Click OK.
========
The second error is again documented in the 2.1 documentation -
5.99 Privilege Warning for Migration
This dialog box is displayed if you click Verify in the Quick Migrate box and the
database user for the connection does not have all privileges necessary for a
multischema migration. For multischema migrations, this user must granted the
RESOURCE role with the ADMIN option; and this user must also be granted the
CREATE ROLE, CREATE USER, and ALTER ANY TRIGGER privileges, all with the
ADMIN option.
If you are performing a single-schema migration, you can ignore this warning.
=====
Which errors are you now seeing and which user was used to hold the repository ?
If you are using GRAINTEST for the repository then create it using this syntax -
CREATE USER GRAINTEST IDENTIFIED BY password <=== change password as necessary
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp; <=== change tablespaces as necessary
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, CREATE VIEW, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO
GRAINTEST WITH ADMIN OPTION;
GRANT ALTER ANY ROLE, ALTER ANY SEQUENCE, ALTER ANY TABLE, ALTER TABLESPACE,
ALTER ANY TRIGGER, COMMENT ANY TABLE, CREATE ANY SEQUENCE, CREATE ANY TABLE,
CREATE ANY TRIGGER, CREATE ROLE, CREATE TABLESPACE, CREATE USER, DROP ANY
SEQUENCE, DROP ANY TABLE, DROP ANY TRIGGER, DROP TABLESPACE, DROP USER, DROP ANY
ROLE, GRANT ANY ROLE, INSERT ANY TABLE, SELECT ANY TABLE, UPDATE ANY TABLE TO
GRAINTEST with admin option ;
then when making the migration make sure the Oracle connection is to this user.
Please update the thread with the errors you get after following these steps.
Regards,
Mike

Converting Access application after migrating SQL Server database

I have used migration workbench to migrate an access database and application. I now have sql server databases with access applications that need to be migrated. How can I convert the access applications that currently use sql server as a database? I don't see that migration workbench considers this combination.

If you have and Access/SQL Server combination. then download the SQL server plugin appropriate to your version of SQL server. Go ahead and migrate the SQL Server database to Oracle. Once this is done, then update your access application so your link tables point to your newly migrated Oracle database.

Migrating SQL Server DB to Oracle DB - probably EASY answer

I completed the tutorial on migrating SQL Server DB to Oracle. When I try on my own database, it all migrated well except anything containing a datetime. When I run the oracle_ctl.bat file and view any of the log files, I see Record 1: Rejected - Error on table DBO_RIVERSIDEDB_NCWCD_TEST.TS6HOUR_TAIN, column DATE_TIME.
ORA-01843: not a valid month. Do I need to change the first line of the file set NLS_DATE_FORMAT=Mon dd YYYY HH:mi:ssAM ? In the .dat file created from the unload_script.bat, the data starts out 1275<EOFD>2007-05-11 00:00:00.000<EOFD>74.900000000000006<EOFD><EOFD><EORD>1275<EOFD>. So my questions is about the date_format - is that the same for all SQL Server databases or do I need to enter something based on MY database? I am definitely a newbie so this is probably a super easy question. Thanks so much for any help!

Hello,
There are two different date format in SQL Server.
1] DateTime : 2010-08-03 12:48:15.170
2] SmallDateTime: 2010-08-03 12:48:00
Both the date will be inserted in Oracle Date column.
Is there any automated way to generate datamove script to tackle these differences? I've around 200 tables to be migrated and there may be many such cases.
The issue with Oracle SQL Developer setting i.e. Tools >Preferences> (Under) Migration> Data Move Option, there are two masks we can specify, one for Date Mask and other for Timestamp. How can I set both of these for converting data into Date, not in timestamp.
Below is my .CTL file, none of below fields are timestamp, but since incoming data in in timestamp format, it is applying timestamp mask and eventually failing to insert data into table
load data
infile '[PARTSORDER].dat'
"str '<EORD>'"
into table admin.PARTSORDER
fields terminated by '<EOFD>'
trailing nullcols
ORDERID ,
GenDate "TO_TIMESTAMP(:GenDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD.HH24.MI.SS.ff3')",
Status "DECODE(:Status, CHR(00), ' ', :Status)",
StatusBy ,
StatusDate "TO_TIMESTAMP(:StatusDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD.HH24.MI.SS.ff3')",
Approved ,
ApprovedBy ,
ApprovedDate "TO_TIMESTAMP(:ApprovedDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD.HH24.MI.SS.ff3')",
TrackingNumber "DECODE(:TrackingNumber, CHR(00), ' ', :TrackingNumber)",
SVOther "DECODE(:SVOther, CHR(00), ' ', :SVOther)",
ShippedVia "DECODE(:ShippedVia, CHR(00), ' ', :ShippedVia)",
ShippedBy "DECODE(:ShippedBy, CHR(00), ' ', :ShippedBy)",
ShippedDate "TO_TIMESTAMP(:ShippedDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD.HH24.MI.SS.ff3')",
CompletedBy "DECODE(:CompletedBy, CHR(00), ' ', :CompletedBy)",
CompletedDate "TO_TIMESTAMP(:CompletedDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD.HH24.MI.SS.ff3')",
ORDERType "DECODE(:ORDERType, CHR(00), ' ', :ORDERType)",
RMAID ,
RMANumber "DECODE(:RMANumber, CHR(00), ' ', :RMANumber)",
BackOrdered ,
XORDERID ,
PARTSORDERSENT "DECODE(:PARTSORDERSENT, CHR(00), ' ', :PARTSORDERSENT)",
SHIPMENTID "DECODE(:SHIPMENTID, CHR(00), ' ', :SHIPMENTID)"
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated!

Migrate SQL Server 7.0 to Oracle 8i - Any known issues??

Hi,
I am in the process of migrating SQL Server database to Oracle 8i for testing purpose. When I do migrate SQL Server database to Oracle 8i, am I doing any harm to the exiting SQL Server database? Would the users be able to use SQL Server database as usual?? Are there any known issues in this regard?

The Migration Workbench copys the information it requires from the source database and stores it in the Migration Workbench Repository, which is separate from the Source database. So, to answer your question, yes, the users can continue to use the SQL Server database. The data move may cause some system performance degradation. It may also be an idea to replicate the SQL Server database, in case any complication should arise.
Hope this helps

Migration SQL Server 7.0 to Oracle 8i

Hi,
I am trying to migrate a SQL Server 7.0 database to Oracle 8i using the latest version of the Migration Workbench tool. The source model is normally generated (I see my tables and other objects) but nothing is generated in the Oracle Model... What would be an explanation for this issue and how could I fix it ?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like the capture has gone OK but have you gone through the mapping phase?

Dwaipayan Das

Hi Dwaipayan,
SQL Server migrations are not supported by the (old)OMWB anymore.
This functionality has been moved into the SQL Developer Migration Workbench.
SQL Server migrations are a built in feature of SQL Developer, which you can download for free here.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html
Before downloading you can take a look at this viewlet demonstrating the migration of SQL Server Northwind database.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/viewlets/sqlserver.html
All the new migration features are based around SQL Developer.
Heres are new page
