MS Access  to Oracle Migration

I have downloaded the plugins from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/migration/workbench/index.html and I dont see any MSAccess.jar file. i see a MSAccess.class file. Am i supposed to copy that to the omwb/plugins ?
If i do that, it doesnt work. Were should I keep the other files of the plugins. Is there any rule? I am using Win XP and Oracle 9i release 2.
Please Help.

Hi Abu,
I'm not sure of the exact steps you carried out, but hopefully your issue will be resolved if you do the following:
1. As you did before, go to the Oracle Migration Workbench Downloads page, http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/migration/workbench/index.html
2. From section "3-Download the Plug-in for the Database You Want to Migrate", select "Microsoft Access Plugin" to start the download of the MSAccess.jar plug-in.
3. Save the MSAccess.jar to the \plugins folder under your OMWB install e.g. D:\omwb\plugins.
You should now have successfully downloaded the plugin. Restart the workbench in order to pick up the new plugin. If you are seeing an MSAccess.class file in your directory, I'm guessing that the jarfile was unpacked. You are not required to unpack the jarfile after you have downloaded it.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

  • Error while Migrating Access to Oracle!

    Hi,
    I am migrating MS Access 97 database to oracle 10g through Oracle migration workbench. I am using default repository but when I am executing C:\omwb\msaccess_exporter\omwb97.mde to generate XML file by clicking on button Export Database Schema for my access database it is giving
    ERROR # 3376 - DAO.Database - Table '_OracletblDatabase' dosent exist.
    I have MS Access plug-in C:\omwb\plugins\MSAccess.jar. and installed MDAC 2.61
    Please tell me what exactly is the problem is and corrective action to resolve this error.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    You'll see such messages if you have abruptly stopped the export process previously. The solution is to remove all the _oracletble objects in the "table objects" view in the access file that your exporting [source mdb]. Try again after removing all unknown tables [they ususally have an "_" at the start]. This should bring ur export successfully.
    Kind regards,

  • Very difficult migration from MS Access to Oracle with SQL Developer

    Dear Developers
    I have tried to used for one Project Oracle Sql Developer Migration from Access to Oracle (Application Express). Was about an evaluation if Oracle Express (with Application Express) or Mysql (with PHP) as target database.
    I am working with Oracle for 14 years and i earn my money in projects related with Oracle. Of course i am sentimental and i push every time when an opportunity comes to have as an option Oracle.
    This time beside my sentimental approach the decision was different.
    I will tell you why and i hope that someone there will listen and make something for a better Product.
    I was trying yesterday the whole day to migrate an Microsoft Access database. A nightmare....
    1. Microsoft Access Exporter 2000 was too slow. For a 25 MB Access database, running time was 15 Minutes. And 15 minutes to obtain an undocumented error. I followed your instruction and eliminate all references etc... as you described in HELP. a lot of time necessary to read and do..... After that i obtained an Error #..16. Sorry that i don't provide you with an exact number error. i don't have it right know and personally i am not interested anymore. For this error i don't find nothing in forums about it.... Search again and again..... Every time after waiting 15 Minutes in which you don't know exactly what application does or if really does something. I decided to delete sequentially macros, modules, forms, querys from Access database and see where Exporter stops... Time and time lost for trying and searching.... Finally i obtained my XML file only by keeping my Access tables. The file was produced even if i obtained at the end Error #5:..... Because was an error i am not really sure if the file was completly consistent with my database.
    2. I followed the next steps and with some errors (enabling, disabling constraints, objects couldn't be created because of different reasons) i had my Model and Oracle Schema. I have tried to export the data from Access and import it in Oracle. data exported was in UTF8 and SQL Loader Control file doesn't have
    LOAD DATA
    character set utf8
    So i tried to add the string "character set utf8" in my dozens of CTL files - with a freeware of course.....
    Maybe you can say that if i knew that from the beginning i would have set my character set in SQL Developer. I don't know and i will not ever try with this product!
    So finally after hours of working and trying and playing with my nerves, reading a lot of forums and documentation, i had an Oracle schema, maybe incomplete because of different errors at so much migration stages.
    And now i have tried for the first time in my life MySQL Migration Toolkit. I read that for migration to MYSQL this tool is what i needed.
    I recommend you to try the product and see something about the quality required for a piece of software. Is not enough if your product runs OK with Nortwind DEMO Access database. It should run OK with all ACCESS databases.
    With the tool i have done the job in 5 MINUTES. Simple, efficiently and without errors. At the end i had the SQL Scripts and the DATA imported in the database.
    Difficult to say something now. I am sentimental but i asked mysef if you can do something to improve the quality of the product.
    What arguments can we provide for a client in Migration from Access to Oracle ???? Can you honestly answer at that?
    Please try this MYSQL Migration Toolkit.....Maybe this give you some ideas about simple tasks and about what we really need...
    Best regards
    Adrian

    Dear Barry and Kgronau
    Thank you very much for your response. My Post was after a long day of trying to import an MDB file.
    Maybe you can understand why i was so angry...
    Yes i understand that your tool try to do more than other even if actually you don't really convert too much.
    From Modules to make some procedures where the whole code is commented! .....
    For other MDB which i tried to import in APEX the forms where really not usable. Queries are full of errors requires most of the time manual corrections.
    I am sorry that i can not provide you with this MDB which cause these problems.
    Data and software doesn't belong to me and the company which own it can not provide to you.
    What i hope from your product is, even when errors come, to show a better error explanation. At what object in Access error ocures ? This is very important because i can correct my MDB or just delete the module,form,query in cause if SQL Developer doesn't like it....
    Just showing an error Error #.... doesn't help me too much. And if an error occurs i don't know if program continues to work or is dead. No information about this. Maybe you can show that your application is alive and does something (working status etc...) ! Anyway we wait long minutes in front of dead screen....
    Again, thank you very much for your attention

  • OMWB 10.1.0.2 Ms Access to Oracle strange migration of Indexes

    Hi
    I am migrating from MS Access 2000 to Oracle 10g with OMWB 10.1.0.2 .
    My Access source model has 123 indexes in it.
    1.The Access source model is creating index for the same column of the same table and names it like ~~temp~index~name0 for some indexes
    2.In some cases the index is created again in the source model for the same column of the same table with just the UNIQUE ,NON UNIQUE property differing.
    3.Is it necessary to migrate indexex to oracle?
    4.How the non-migration of indexes would affect the database performance?
    Can anyone help me on this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hi Vinod,
    To assist in resolving your issue, I would firstly recommend that you carry out the following steps on the MDB file you wish to export:
    1. Analyze the objects in your .mdb file using the Documenter facility in Microsoft Access. From the menu bar, select Tools, Analyze, Documenter, and then select the objects (for example, tables or queries) for analysis. Remove or resolve any erroneous objects.
    2. Ensure the application contains no missing references. Launch the design IDE (use the Alt+F11 keys), and from the menu bar, select Tools, References. Remove or resolve any missing references.
    3. Ensure the application compiles successfully. In the IDE view, select Debug, Compile from the menu bar. Resolve any reported errors.
    4. Carry out a compact and repair on the database, using the Tools, Database Utilities, Compact and Repair Database menu option.
    5. Ensure that all linked tables are valid links. Using the Tools, Database Utilities, Linked Table Manager menu option, verify that all links are up to date and pointing to an existing .mdb file that is not read-only.
    If you still experience issues using the exporter tool, please supply the following information:
    * Operating System
    * Service Pack version
    * MS Access version installed
    * Version of MDB file to be exported
    In your posting you mention the fact that the tool extracts the table data, generating a file with a .DAT extension for each table extracted. This is the expected behaviour of the tool. I would recommend that you read the documentation that accompanies the release, namely the Oracle Migration Workbench Exporter for Microsoft Access online help, and also the Oracle Migration Workbench User's Guide, to give you an understanding of how the tools work.
    I hope this helps.

    Hi,
    Did you follow all the steps in the SQL*Developer documentation about preparing the Access database for migration -
    Oracle® SQL Developer User’s Guide Release 3.0 -
    2.2.4.3 Before Migrating From Microsoft Access
    and -
    Oracle® SQL Developer Supplementary Information for Microsoft Access Migrations Release 3.0
    2.4 Preparing the Microsoft Access Database for Capture
    The error also indicates there may be a problem with your Access installation so could you check that everything is okay with that ? I have found references that indicate a re-install of Office/Access will prevent the error.

  • Migrating MS Access to Oracle 11gR2

    Environment 1:
    Windows 7 (64-bit), Microsoft Access 2003 (32-bit), Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.0
    Environment 2:
    Windows XP (32-bit), Microsoft Access 2003 (32-bit), Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.0
    Has anyone succeeded in migrating an MS Access database to Oracle 11gR2?
    In environment 1, I cannot add a connection to the MS Access database.  And, yes, I tried odbcad32.exe from both %windows%\System32 and %windows%\SysWOW64.
    In environment 2, I can connect to the MS Access database. 
    I tried to follow "Migrating a Microsoft Access Database to Oracle Database 11g" (http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/sqldev/r30/MSAccessMigration/MSAccessMigration.htm), but in the section on "Capturing the Microsoft Access Exported Files", it happily states: "The procedure for creating the Microsoft Access database scripts has been completed for you and the files are available in the zip file provided in the prerequisites." and I cannot find a reference to how those scripts were created, so I'm stuck there.
    The Quick Video entitled "Migrating from Microsoft Access to Oracle" (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/access-084991.html) captures a Sybase database instead, so no luck there either.
    Section "2.2.4.3.1  Creating Microsoft Access XML Files" of the "Oracle® SQL Developer User's Guide" states:
    "To prepare for capturing a Microsoft Access database, the Exporter for Microsoft Access tool must be run, either automatically or manually, as explained in Section 2.2.5, "Capturing the Source Database". This tool is packaged as a Microsoft Access MDE file and it allows you to export the Microsoft Access MDB file to an XML file."  But there's nothing whatsoever relevant to this issue in section 2.2.5.  Nor in the "Oracle® SQL Developer Supplementary Information for Microsoft Access Migrations".
    I tried Tools -> Migration -> Create Database Capture Scripts... but there's no MS Access to select. 
    I tried Tools -> Database Export... but cannot connect to the MS Access database.
    Stuck again.
    I tried right-clicking on the MS Access db and selecting the "Copy To Oracle..." option, but nothing happens.
    I tried using Tools -> Migration -> Migrate
    but at the capture stage, I get an error "java.lang. Exception:  The plugin used to capture this model is not available.  Please re-install the plugin and try again before convert."  But I cannot find a reference to a plug-in for MS Access.
    I tried Tools -> Database Copy... but cannot select the MS Access database as source.
    I found ckw460's entry in this forum at https://community.oracle.com/thread/2593134 and found "Oracle Application Express 4.2" at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/index.html and in the zip the omwb2007.zip (s)he mentioned.  I assume I'd have to use omwb2003.zip, but it is unclear to me how to apply it.
    I.e., lots of frustrations and after well over a day, I'm still nowhere.
    Can anyone assist?
    Kind regards,
    Herta

    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 from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

    Hi,
    I want to migrate an mdb file which contains a set of tables to oracle. During this process, i have created schema and all the tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. I would like to transfer only the data to Oracle from access through SQL developer. How can I do that?
    Regards,
    Meena

    Hi Meena,
    You mention that you have created the schema and tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. Did you use the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench, creating a Migration Repository, to carry out this process? I see from your other postings that you are experiencing issues using the Exporter tool, which would lead me to believe that you haven't used the Migration Workbench to migrate your database. Obviously you will need to resolve your Exporter issues before you can proceed to the next phase of the migration process. I will aim to assist you with those issues on the seperate thread - ShowSplashScreen("_OracleSplashScreen",3) error The XML file generated by the Exporter tool forms the basis of your MS Access migration.
    In order to migrate your data from MS Access to Oracle using the Migrate Data option in Oracle SQL Developer, you will need to have access to the Migration Repository used for the migration of the MS Access database. The information contained in the Converted Model, in the Migration Repository, is used during the data migration process. The data migration requires the following connections:
    1. a source database connection i.e. a database connection to the MS Access MDB file
    2. a target database connection i.e. a database connection to the migration Oracle schema
    3. a Converted Model connection
    For further information on the creation of a Migration Repository, and the migration process, please refer to the accompanying documentation available via the online Help within Oracle SQL Developer, and also from OTN - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10405_01/doc/nav/portal_booklist.htm.
    I hope this helps.

  • Migration from MS Access to Oracle 8

    Sir,
    I have exported the MS Access table from MS Access to Oracle in the following way.
    I have selected the table from MS Access and clicked on export and then it asked for exporting option. I have selected ODBC databases and given the option from 'emptab' to emptab. I have created a new system dsn and finally the table was exported to oracle(user name: scott pwd : tiger. when I logged on to scott/tiger and queried the tables select * from tab; , all the tables in that user are displaying. But I am not able to query on that particular table. I was getting the message 'table or view' doesn't exist. Pl guide me how to access that table and query on that table either desc table or insert into that table or update etc.
    with warm regards

    Srinivas,
    The Oracle Migration Workbench will migrate access data and datastructures over to oracle, it can then modify the access database so that link tables are created to access the oracle information from the access forms and views.
    If you are using ODBC to export the data:
    What are the commands you are entering and the output? Note that oracle tables are usually upper cased so if the table name is MY_TABLE, select * from "my_table"; will not work whereas select * from my_table; will. Access export via odbc preserves the case so one may need to select * from "my_table";
    select table_name from user_tables;
    Will show the current users tables, to show what case is expected, upper or lower.
    I hope these small pieces of information are helpful in solving the issue.

  • Access 2003 to Oracle Migration Queries

    Hi Experts,
    I have taken up a project to migrate Access 2003 application to Oracle 9i.The Forms and Reports will continue to run in Access 2003 with Oracle 9i database. I decide to use Oracle Migration workbench for the migration purpose.What I think is the back-end i.e. database and queries will be automatically migrated to Oracle 9i but I'm not sure about the front end application.
    Do I need to change front end application to point to database in Oracle 9i or OMW will do that itself.I am also confused with lots of queries that reside in current Access database. I presume these queries will be converted to Oracle procedures/views without any manual intervention but will the front-end application also be modified automatically to point to those stored procedures/views. Otherwise an extensive code change will be required which may result in huge cost.
    Currently the Access application is not using any ODBC DSN as it gets connected to the database automatically. Should the database connection be changed to use DSN prior to Migration?
    One more thing, the application is using single-level linked table. Will the linked table get automatically converted and connected or I need to do anything?
    Could anyone help me in this issue by giving some ideas so I can manage the job efficiently and make proper planning before plunging into the real work.
    Thanks & Regards
    S C

    The Migration Workbench will modify the Access mdb file as part of the migration if you request it, to create the necessary link tables to oracle, it will use an ODBC DSN to do this. This is explained in our documentation. This should be transparent.
    However for complex application, you often have a tuning exercise, to ensure that the jet engine does the "right" thing, and there changes are required, e.g. a two way join, you would want that to happen on the server and not done on the client. This would be same tuning exercise, if the back end was SQL Server.
    In the latest release of the Access plugin, we did a better job migrating queries to views, but you need to plug this into your code.
    Yes, the exporter should extract the information about the linked table, assuming the link is valid at the time of extraction.
