Migration Workbench is messing up data in converted from SQL Server image fields.

I am working on porting a SQL Server 7 database to Oracle 8i (8.1.6 release 2). In the SQL Server database I have several tables that contain image fields that hold binary data (like Word documents, and other files). When I port the database to Oracle, the data in these fields gets garbled (the resultant records contain the correct amount of data (bytes), yet the data is different). Data in image fields that contain text oriented data ports correctly (i.e. if you just saved a long string in the field). Has anyone else posted a similar problem? Is there a workaround here to get the data stored in these image fields to port correctly?

The thing is DDL of SQL Server and Oracle are quite different, without the help of MW from SQL Developer. You can't convert SQL server version of DDL to Oracle version. Of course you can accomplish the same thing using other tools like ERwin and Visio. Since SQL Developer is free why bother?

How to convert from SQL Server table to Flat file (txt file)

I need To ask question how convert from SQL Server table to Flat file txt file

Hi
1. Import/Export wizened
2. Bcp utility
3. SSIS
1.Import/Export Wizard
First and very manual technique is the import wizard. This is great for ad-hoc and just to slam it in tasks.
In SSMS right click the database you want to import into. Scroll to Tasks and select Import Data…
For the data source we want out zips.txt file. Browse for it and select it. You should notice the wizard tries to fill in the blanks for you. One key thing here with this file I picked is there are “ “ qualifiers. So we need to make
sure we add “ into the text qualifier field. The wizard will not do this for you.
Go through the remaining pages to view everything. No further changes should be needed though
Hit next after checking the pages out and select your destination. This in our case will be DBA.dbo.zips.
Following the destination step, go into the edit mappings section to ensure we look good on the types and counts.
Hit next and then finish. Once completed you will see the count of rows transferred and the success or failure rate
Import wizard completed and you have the data!
bcp utility
Method two is bcp with a format file http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx
This is probably going to win for speed on most occasions but is limited to the formatting of the file being imported. For this file it actually works well with a small format file to show the contents and mappings to SQL Server.
To create a format file all we really need is the type and the count of columns for the most basic files. In our case the qualifier makes it a bit difficult but there is a trick to ignoring them. The trick is to basically throw a field into the
format file that will reference it but basically ignore it in the import process.
Given that our format file in this case would appear like this
9.0
9
1 SQLCHAR 0 0 """ 0 dummy1 ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 1 Field1 ""
3 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 2 Field2 ""
4 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 3 Field3 ""
5 SQLCHAR 0 50 ""," 4 Field4 ""
6 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 5 Field5 ""
7 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 6 Field6 ""
8 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 7 Field7 ""
9 SQLCHAR 0 50 "n" 8 Field8 ""
The bcp call would be as follows
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinn>bcp DBA..zips in “C:zips.txt” -f “c:zip_format_file.txt” -S LKFW0133 -T
Given a successful run you should see this in command prompt after executing the statement

bcp import completed!
BULK INSERT
Next, we have BULK INSERT given the same format file from bcp
CREATE TABLE zips (
Col1 nvarchar(50),
Col2 nvarchar(50),
Col3 nvarchar(50),
Col4 nvarchar(50),
Col5 nvarchar(50),
Col6 nvarchar(50),
Col7 nvarchar(50),
Col8 nvarchar(50)
GO
INSERT INTO zips
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:Documents and SettingstkruegerMy Documentsblogcenzuszipcodeszips.txt',
FORMATFILE='C:Documents and SettingstkruegerMy Documentsblogzip_format_file.txt'
) as t1 ;
GO
That was simple enough given the work on the format file that we already did. Bulk insert isn’t as fast as bcp but gives you some freedom from within TSQL and SSMS to add functionality to the import.
SSIS
Next is my favorite playground in SSIS
We can do many methods in SSIS to get data from point A, to point B. I’ll show you data flow task and the SSIS version of BULK INSERT
First create a new integrated services project.
Create a new flat file connection by right clicking the connection managers area. This will be used in both methods
Bulk insert
You can use format file here as well which is beneficial to moving methods around. This essentially is calling the same processes with format file usage. Drag over a bulk insert task and double click it to go into the editor.
Fill in the information starting with connection. This will populate much as the wizard did.
Example of format file usage
Or specify your own details
Execute this and again, we have some data
Data Flow method
Bring over a data flow task and double click it to go into the data flow tab.
Bring over a flat file source and SQL Server destination. Edit the flat file source to use the connection manager “The file” we already created. Connect the two once they are there
Double click the SQL Server Destination task to open the editor. Enter in the connection manager information and select the table to import into.
Go into the mappings and connect the dots per say
Typical issue of type conversions is Unicode to non-unicode.
We fix this with a Data conversion or explicit conversion in the editor. Data conversion tasks are usually the route I take. Drag over a data conversation task and place it between the connection from the flat file source to the SQL Server destination.
New look in the mappings
And after execution…
SqlBulkCopy Method
Sense we’re in the SSIS package we can use that awesome “script task” to show SlqBulkCopy. Not only fast but also handy for those really “unique” file formats we receive so often
Bring over a script task into the control flow
Double click the task and go to the script page. Click the Design script to open up the code behind

Convert MS SQL server image data type into oracle clob

Hi all! I'm tryng to access to Microsoft SQL server with Oracle via ODBC. Oracle is not able to use the image data type of Microsoft SQL server. Do you know a way to convert this data type in an oracle format? The explicit casting converts image to long raw, but after the conversion Oracle is not able to manage these data type. Thank you very much!

Data Type Mapping from SQL server to Oracle

I am using Oracle 12c with heterogenous services connecting to SQL server DB. Some of the columns in the SQL server SB are defined as 'nvarchar(max)'. These are coming over to Oracle as 'long' type columns. I would like these to be 'varchar2' types in Oracle so I do not have any of the restrictions related to 'long' type fields when using. I can create a view in SQlServer to convert the data type ie. nvarchar(100). What is the highest value I can use to make the data show in Oracle as varchar? BTW I tried nvarchar(4000) but that still showed as long. I tried nvarchar(1000), and that did show as varchar.

The maximum value for a nvarchar2 in Oracle is 2000. The mapping -if the remote column is mapped to an Oracle varchar/nvarchar- depends on the data type returned by the ODBC driver. When the driver returns SQL_Varchar, then the maximum precision is 4000 and when it will map it to SQL_WVarchar then it is 2000.
As your Oracle database uses AL32UTF8 as character set you will get the nvarchar(max) mapped to Oracle longs as the content of your SQL Server nvarchar is stored using UCS2 character set which is covered by the Oracle database charset UTF8. So it shouldn't really matter if the returned string is mapped to an Oracle varchar or nvarchar.

Can not extract data into BW from SQL SERVER

Dear All,
I meet a problem to extract data from database(MS SQL Server 2000(sp3)) into BW now and can not extract data into BW ODS, even PSA, In the monitor, display yellow light(0 from 0 record), detail message just display message "data request arranged" "confirmed with: confirmation" in requests(message) step; "missing message: request received" in extract (message) step; "no data" in processing(data packet) step and so on. but in fact, there are two records in my database test table and DB connection is OK. Even I can extract data from another test oracle database into BW ODS successfully.
Our BW system has two BW applicaton server and use oracle database. the one application server locates on IBM AIX host. the another one locates on one NT server. the application server on NT server is used for data extration from MS SQL SERVER database into BW oracle database. and MS SQL SERVER and NT platform application server locate on same one host. DBSL was installed on the NT application server already. and DB connector also was created successfully for MS SQL SERVER and datasource also was generated. DBSL type is Kernel640-WIN-IA32bit-unicode. my BW system is ECC5.0/UNICODE/ORACLE. all table/view/field name of MS SQL server is upcase and have not any specific character. for example: ZDEMO etc.
wait your help.
Thanks in advance.

Convert from SQL server to Oracle?

How do I do this query in Oracle?
In SQL Server, it looks like this.
select
SELECT top 1 t1.mpm
FROM TblMtk T1
where t1.wc = '34819'
and t1.ValidFrom <= '2012-09-12'
order by t1.ValidFrom desc
) R1
SELECT top 1 t2.mpm
FROM TblMtk T2
where t2.wc = '34819'
order by t2.ValidFrom desc) R2

A follow-up question ...
If the table tblmtk for example, there are three rows like this:
WC        MPM        Valid_from
34819     1          2010-06-01
34819     2.5        2011-01-01
34819     1.5        2012-01-01If the value is outside of the validity period (valid_from) shall it take the last valid_from value. How?
select max(MPM) keep(dense_rank first order by case when valid_from <= '2007-05-10' then valid_from else null end desc nulls last) r1
from tblmtk
where wc = '34819'I want the result to look like this:
R1= 1.5
But now I get R = 2.5

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.

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.

There is a new feature in version 1.2.1 of the migration
workbench that will generate the BCP and SQL Loader scripts for
you.
Right mouse click on the 'Tables' component group in the Oracle
Model UI tree and click 'Generate Data Migrate Script...'.
This will place the scripts in the Log directory you have
specified in the Tools -> Options menu. Go to the Logging tab and
enter a valid value for 'Log file directory'.
The data move scripts will be located in the 'Log file

Data Migration from SQL server best option

Hi all,
I am importing data from SQL server to oracle server, both of them are on different machines. I had suggested DTS to be most viable option to do so, the SQL server team needs to know why DTS, here are the other options that i am aware of
1) Flat files ---delimited flat files data can be loaded into tables using external table since we have oracle 9i
2) using generic connectivity, but it requires changes in configuration files which our dba doesnt apporve , since he says that wud be lot of monitoring and maintenance when there are database upgrades
3) DBlink-- i dont know whether dblink works for oracle to sql server, i think it doesnt work?? correct me if am wrong
and the last is DTS
it wud be of great help if i could know that in such a scenario how good is DTS compared to other options in terms of speed, maintenance and monitoring, also if there are any other options to import the data.
the volume of data is large abt 500000 one time load and then abt 8000 records on a daily basis
thanks

2 & 3 are really the same thing. Generic Connectivity allows you to create a database link from Oracle to SQL Server.
SQL Server also has the concept of a linked server that is analgous to Generic Connectivity that would allow you to connect from SQL Server to Oracle and push the changes over.
There are a variety of other ETL tools out there that can handle this sort of thing (Oracle's is Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB)) in addition to DTS as well.
Personally, I would prefer Generic Connectivity, but that's just me. At one client site, we pull millions of records out of a DB2 database every night and haven't had any issues related to the stability of Generic Connectivity. Realistically, migrating 8000 rows a night is going to be pretty easy no matter what route you take, so it really comes down to what standards your organization has for data transfer and what sort of skillset the developers are going to have.

Migration Workbench is messing up data in converted from SQL Server image fields.
