MS Access97 to Oracle 8i

I need to move an Access97 database into Oracle 8i. What do I need to download?

There is an Access Migration Assistant. Call into Oracle Worldwide Support to the Unix group and they can give you the appropriate information. If you need a CD they can overnight it for you. Also, you could go to MetaLink and open up your own shipping tar to get it.

    Hi Bhaskar,
    I would run the Migration assistant first and see what happens.
    It is quite fast, so you should know pretty quickly if there are
    any major glitches.

  • Migrate Access97 to Oracle Enterprise Edition 8.0.4.0

    Hello!
    I want to migrate an Access 97 Backend MDB to Oracle 8.0.4.0
    using the Oracle Migration Assistant. It seems that all works
    fine, but during the last step (I think it is the last - all
    SQL-scripts are ready at the directory: Cindex.sql, Cscd.sql,
    ...) an error occurs while the assistent tries to create the
    serversided functions (this is before it tries to create
    the tables).
    The assistent ends showing an fatal error (3265).
    This error occurs with every *.mdb-file (even if the .mdb has
    only one table with two simple text-fields), independant which
    user I use.
    What does that mean?
    Thanks a lot

  • Error in converting Access97 db to Oracle 817.2.6

    I need HELP!!!
    I have successfully migrated a Access2000 db to oracle 817 but am trying to do the same from access 97 and am getting the following application error message while trying to create the xml file:
    Error# 429:Activex component can't create object.
    Can somebody help me with this?
    Thanks,
    Konah

    Also,
    There are 2 .mde files in the %ORACLE_HOME%\Omwb\msaccess_exporter directory.
    You need to use omwb97.mde for Access 97 databases.

  • Converting the iif function in MS Access97 to an user defined function in Oracle

    Hi ,
    I have a problem here we are working with Visual Basic 6.0(ADOs 2.5) with Oracle 8i release 2. we have some queries stored in the tables which contains the iif function of MS Access 97 do we have a similar built in function in Oracle which replaces this iif function of Ms Access 97.
    we cannot use decode (built in function) of oracle b'cos it cannot be used in a where clause and we cannot write a user defined function also because it cannot be generalized for use b'cos sometimes we use
    field names and sometimes values as expression in the iif functions
    If anybody could suggest me some idea
    please mail me at [email protected]
    with best regards

    Hi,
    You still can use the seccond approach - with a udf IIF() that you place in a package and OVERLOAD it. See the documentation for limitations of Overloading
    Overloading permits you to declare several functions with the same name but havind different behaviours depending on the number and type of the parameters.

  • Undocumented ODBC Error when trying an insert on ORACLE 8 from ACCESS97

    Hi
    I have a application with ACCESS 97 dealing with Oracle 8.1.7
    The ODBC Driver version is 8.01.06
    The connecting chain is : ODBC;DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};DBQ=DP3_IST;" & _
    "DBA=W;APA=T;FEN=T;QTO=T;FRC=10;FDL=10;LOB=T;RST=T;FRL=F;MTS=T;CSR=F;PFC=10;TLO=0;
    I have no problems for reading with select but when i try to execute an insert,
    i get the following error message: " reserved error (-7778); there is no message for this error "
    It work's when using the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle 2.573.3711.00" and unfortunatly i'm not allowed to use it.
    Does anyone know what was the problem?
    Regards
    Pierre-Yves LAGRAVERE

    The two lines you quote aren't errors, they're warnings and they're pretty standard fare. If there isn't anything else in the ODBC log, then the driver isn't returning any errors. I'm not sure why Access is failing, so let's look at the client configuration first.
    - I assume you've successfully installed the 8.1.6 client on the machine with Access. Were there any errors during the install?
    - You say you're using the 8.1.6 version of the Oracle ODBC driver-- can you look to see what the last digit of the version is? If possible, I'd start by downloading the most recent 8.1.6.x ODBC driver from OTN.
    - Check which version of the MDAC you have installed (new versions & a version checker are available from Microsoft at <http://www.microsoft.com/data>.
    - The ODBC driver you download above will list which versions of the MDAC it is expected to work with. Make sure your version is one of the listed versions.

  • Trying to connect old Access97 Client to an Oracle XE server

    I'm trying to connect an old Access 97 Client app. to an XE server via ODBC. I don't know if it's possible at all, so far I've not been able to see the server from the "Link Table" in Access. I get ORA-12154.
    The XE Client contains no admin tool for ODBC, in this forum I've seen mentioned that XE ODBC uses "Instant ODBC" that have no setup, but does anybody know if what I'm trying is possible at all?
    And if it is possible; how do I do it?
    Assume I know nothing at all about what I'm doing!
    Per

    I don't know if it's possible at allYes, it's possible, I do it all the time!
    You need to set up the ODBC connection:
    Start --> Settings --> Control Panel -->
    Administrative Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC)
    Type in the name for your DSN, then pick the TNSName
    that you want to connect to (optionally you can type
    the username/password in the username box to save
    that). Save it and exit.
    Then from within Access, go to File --> Get External
    Data --> Link Tables
    Change the select box at the bottom (Files of type)
    to ODBC Databases and pick your DSN.
    Then log in as the user you have created and it
    should give you a list of tables to link.
    ~JerYes, it should, but it doesn't. The reason I' trying this stunt, is because a 8i server becomes unavailable. And as the database I'm running is pretty small, I migrated it to an Express server. The setup before was Oracle ODBC driver 2. 5 (For Oracle 7.34, no less) and it has worked flawlessly for many years.
    What confuses me, is that the normal connection procedure doesn't work. Also, I know that Net8 has taken over for SQLNet, and I thought that may be the problem. (Not sure if Net8 actually uses TNSNames)
    Also, Access 97 uses the old Microsoft Jet engine Object model, DAO, I thought that may be a problem.
    At the moment I've managed to connect by using the "Microsoft for Oracle" OCBC Driver on Microsoft XP. It may cause other problems with my login to the database methode, but it is managable. I really would like to know why the easy and straightforward doesn't work, though...

  • Archive and Purge in Oracle Financials (verions 11.0.3, database 8.0.5)

    Hi all,
    I am going to purge balances and journals data by using function 'Archive and Purge' in Oracle Financials.
    I want to calculate the space that can free up finally.
    i.e. calculate the difference before and after data purging.
    How to get this information?
    Thanks for your kind response.

    Assuming you have the source data in access97.
    Create tables in Oracle exactly the same as access tables.
    Create links from access ODBC drivers to Oracle tables.
    Export the data from access.
    If you want to keep the sources data in access and update the data everyday, you can use append queries.
    YOu can refresh the data by truncating the destination tables and export fresh.
    Another option is sql*loader. It depends what your situation is.

  • Oracle 9i and Microsoft ODBC

    Is Oracle 9i compatible with the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver - version 2.573.9030.00?

    Hi,
    I read your forums as you suggested. Specifically... here is what I am doing....
    I’m running a macro to upload data from an Access97 application on an XP platform which is using the ODBC driver (Oracle in OraHome90 - version 9.00.11.00) to connect to an Oracle 9i database. It is taking over 25 minutes to complete the update. WHY?
    I need to increase the performance, any suggestions?
    Note:
    I cannot use the MS ODBC for Oracle driver to connect to the Oracle 9i database because it fails and passes back an “Action Error” on the “Dcount” which is a common ODBC failure.

  • Weird tables are added in the db after migrating an Access db to Oracle 0816

    Hi,
    The migration workbench has been giving me headache recently. I
    was trying to migrate a small Access 97 db to Oracle081600. It
    used to work fine. But one day, it began to give me problems.
    Each time after I migrated an Access97 db to Oracle, the
    database in Oracle included lots of tables which I don't know
    where they come from (such as ACC_COLUMN,
    ACC_DATABASE,...MTG_COL_DEP_CHG...OM_ALL_INDEXES_INFO...SS7_SYSCO
    LUMNS...etc). And I just could not find the tables that I wanted
    in the migrated oracle db. Is there anyone who knows what's
    wrong? I really need someone's help on this problem.
    The oracle I installed is Oracle0816, running on Windows2000.
    Thank you.
    Li yang

    I am having the same problem. I had never used the tool before
    so i thought it was normal. If you have figured it out let me
    know. my boss wants to know if we can use this tool or should
    pursue other ways of migrating.

  • Migrating from Pick Database to Oracle 8i database

    We are investigating the possiblility of exporting the entire contents of a pick database into an Oracle 8i database. Can you suggest any resources needed or utilities needed to perform this?
    thanks in advance
    warren

    If Access2000 allows you save the database as an access97 database then you can use the Oracle Migration Workbench to do the conversion. Sorry, Im not the Access expert so I can't say for sure whether the save as 97 option is shipped with 2000. I'll look into it and post a definitive answer tomorrow.

  • Access97 migration hangs

    Hi,
    Trying to migrate a small Access97 database (on Windows 98) to Oracle 8.0.6 (on HP-UX 10.20)
    Migration Workbench 1.3.1.0.0 is installed on the Windows 98 client. Also installed is MSAccess plugin, version 1.3.1.0.0
    Creation of models, target tablespace, target tables, target users all proceed without error. Then the Assistant hangs after it logs this line :
    'Action : Moving Message : Migrating Table Data'
    It hangs forever. I look in the target database, dynamic table 'V$SESSION_WAIT' and find a row for my session with this value in the 'message' column :
    'SQL*Net message from client'
    Does this mean the target database is waiting for the client (the migration workbench) ?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    You have to put in Target Disk Mode the Mac from where you are going to transfer the files, in your case, the MacBook. After putting your MacBook in Target Disk Mode, the MacBook will only show a FireWire icon on the display.
    Now, the MacBook Pro is detecting your MacBook's hard drive as an external drive, so you can do whatever you want. Migration Assistant will bring you the option to migrate from another hard drive, so it will detect your MacBook's hard drive and it will migrate your files from here. The same if you are trying to migrate the data from Setup Assistant.
    To put the computer in Target Disk Mode, connect a FireWire cable and hold the T key while your computer is starting

    This is a known problem. It appears that you may be trying to map a non supported relationship. The OMWB does not support relationships based on queries, only queries based on tables are supported. To get around you hanging problem remove the non supported query and regenerate the xml file. Now try a capture and mapping phase. Hope this helps you get around your problem.
