MYSQL to Oracle 11G R2

Hello
I am trying to import a MySQL dump file to a Oracle 11G R2 database. Has anyone done this before? I have sqldeveloper installed but, am not sure if I can use that tool to import a .sql MySQL file. Anyone know of a good reference guide..or even better has anyone done this before?
Brian Sims

I am still stuck, so I think I can use the offline method in SQL Developer but I am not sure how to create the migration repository? Any ideas. I check in the documentation link but it does not give a good explanation of what to do for offline migrations. Do you or anyone know of a document that goes into that more deeply?
The guy that gave me this data dump was doing me a favor I would rather not ask him to export it a different way if I did not absolutely have to.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

I followed the steps mentioned above.
When I right click my MySQL server db Connection and click "Capture MySQL server", it just shows a dialog with "Close" enabled.
after clicking the close button, it gives following error messages.

Hi,
You can download the 11.1.0.7 patchset from My Oracle Support -
support.oracle.com
as patch 6890831.
Once logged in click on 'Patches and Updates' and enter the patch number as 6890831 and choose whichever platform you are running.
the readme explains how to apply the patch to an existing 11.1.0.6 install.
The url you posted is only for complete product installs, but 11.1.0.7 is only a patchset that must be applied to an existing install.
Regards,
Mike

Vulnerabilities in MySQL in Oracle 11g installation

I have Oracle 11g as the database for my GUI application, there was a security analysis run on the server hosting the Oracle 11g database and it is showing security vulnerabilities with respect to MySQL such as CVE-2012-2750, CVE-2012-3163 etc. The vulnerability solution in the security report is showing solutions like:
1) Download and apply the upgrade from: http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php
2) Download and apply the upgrade from: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql
My query is that any patches or fixes for the security bugs need to be coming from Oracle or should they be applied as stand-alone MySQL fixes.
I hope my query is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.

Oracle (the product) is not MySQL (the product).
Oracle (the product) does not know or care about MySQL issues.
Is MySQL installed on this server? Is it being used? Depending on your un-named OS, MySQL very will could have been installed simply as part of the OS installation, really just a form of 'bloat-ware'.

Help linking oracle 11g and joomla 1.6

Hello
I am currently working on a project which uses Joomla 1.6 and MySQL 5.15. We now need to migrate the DB from MySQL to Oracle 11g R2 and I would like some help in finding a driver between Oracle 11g and Joomla 1.6. If anybody has worked with and successfully connected these two could you please help me out.
Could really do with the help as I need to complete the project soon.
Thanks

Hey there...
Well.... It sort of all depends on how Joomla is connecting to the database. Are they using a pre-built framework like PDO or Zend ?
If they are it should be a a relatively easy task to move it to Oracle. If not then you will have to alter their DB layer and replace a lot of the mySQL calls with Oracle calls and add a few. For example MySQL does not parse a statement prior to execution but Oracle does eg:
$oraDB = oci_connect([parms]);
$query = oci_parse($OraDB,'select 'a' from dual');
// If you are binding variables it would go between the parse and execute areas and it is mostly the same as doing
// it with MySQL
oci_execute($query);
$data = oci_fetch_assoc($query);The instant client and the full client do things very differently and connections to the DB server are done differently so you will need to understand those differences and code accordingly.
The OCI_8 php libraries are well established and documented. They must be installed on the server on which Joomla is running.
If your machine is setup correctly this is as simple as:
%pecl install oci8
pecl will take care of pretty much everything including dealing with 32 -v- 64 bit and all you need do is make an entry in the php extension section letting it know the OCI libraries are installed. If not it is a bit more complicated.
The software along with the instructions ca be found here: http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8
You must have either the instant client or the regular Oracle client installed on the server on which Joomla is running.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.htmlhttp://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
After you accept the license agreement click on "See All" and you will see both the instant client and the full client for the version you require.
It is extremely un-wise to attempt to run any version of oracle on the machine running joomla / Apache. If you do so, then you stand a better then even chance of failure as Oracle does not like to share resources.
Make sure you read the install instructions for the oracle client and pay very close attention to things like environment settings and permissions issues on the php server as these are some of the most common problems. Once the client is installed and the oci libraries are installed things should run very smoothly. The whole php to Oracle chain is very fast and the fact that the db server is remote from the web server will not be an issue as long as the links are fast.
If you have problems get back to us and we will do the best we can to help you sort things out.

What should i do with an Oracle 11g Database, MySQL database and a dump file.

I just joining to a new work field, almost about a database and i know "NOTHING" about this field.
My company has a system that running by Oracle Database, the problem is that Oracle Database will cost a lot of money when my company expands.
So the quest is converting Oracle Database to MySQL database.
Of course i cant try to convert it in the main Database, so i create one Oracle 11g Database on my LocalHost, and it already actived in " Localhost:1158 " etc.
I have another Sever test that already set up MySQL database, and a dump file from the system.
So I want to ask these 2 questions :
1. How to create an new Oracle Database from that dump file ?
2. Is it alright if i use tool to convert Oracle Database into MySql, or i should do it manually ?
Thanks alot.

So the quest is converting Oracle Database to MySQL database.
I predict that converting to MySQL will cost your company more as it expands. As you expand managing contention becomes more important - Oracle does this for you. I do not think MySQL does, so you'll have to write more code to deal with this, costing the company money. A big part of making application scalable and reliable is to use stored procedures, how good are MySQL's compared to PL/SQL's. What other features are there that MySQL has that will benefit your company that Oracle doesn't. What do you need to think about as your company expands that need to be taken care of in the database. I would have thought a migration from MySQL to Oracle would be more common to deal with expansion.
As you know "NOTHING" you need to think about what each database can give you for the next 10 years to cope with you businesses potential requirements, and extimate how much it will cost to implement these requirements, then make the decision

Anyone inserted data directly from Oracle 11g to MySQL?

Hi There,
We work mainly on Oracle 11g. However, there is a requirement to now connect to an external MySQL database from our company's Oracle Database. Would be trying to do this for the first time. The process would be to download the data using PL/SQL from the ORacle 11g DB and then insert the data into the MySQL DB table. Had a few questions,
1. Are there any known issues with connections between ORacle as source and MySQL as target. Anything that needs to be kept in mind?
2. How do we send the data to MySQL, I mean in PL/SQL we can have the procedure create the insert statements. But can we directly fire the insert on MySQL ? If yes, any suggestions on what the commands would be?
3.Any way to figure out if the insert was successful?
4. We might also have to do other operations like update/delete etc.
5. Any possible reference or sample code on this would also help.
Thanks

Well, the simplest and most direct approach would be to create a java function in the database to perform the operation and call it from pl/sql. I've done it before and there are examples out there and its a pretty straight-forward process.
A quick example from [this website|http://w2.syronex.com/jmr/edu/db/oracle-and-java]
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class OraThin {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      Connection con=null;
      Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
      con=DriverManager.getConnection(
        "jdbc:oracle:thin:@machine_name:1521:database_name",
        "scott",
        "tiger");
      Statement s=con.createStatement();
      s.execute("
        INSERT INTO BOOKS VALUES
        'A Tale of Two Cities',
        'William Shakespeare',
        4567891231,
        '5-JAN-1962'
      s.close();
      con.close();
   } catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
}Check out Oracle's Java tutorial at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/basics/storedprocedures.html for more in-depth information.
If you're going to be doing this for more than a handful of tables under very controlled circumstances keeping it synchronized is going to be a mess, however.

Migrating MySQL database to Oracle 11g RAC

Hi,
I would like to migrate an entire database from MySQL to my new Oracle 11g RAC. How do I do it?

Hi Turloch,
I was able to configure SQLDeveloper to connect to Oracle and MySQL.
I am having a hard time migrating data from mysql maybe due to table size. I got mysql tables with more than 20M and the PC am running the sqldeveloper is running out of memory every time I try to migrate the tables.
Can you share some experience migrating from MySQL to Oracle?
Thank You.

Connecting Oracle 11g with MySQL 5.1

Hey all,
I've been looking all over the web for this, and I can't find any information that applies to my case. I have an Oracle 11g DB setup on a Windows Server 2003 SP2, and have installed the Heterogeneous services ODBC driver. I want to connect this to another Windows 2003 SP2 machine that runs MySQL Community.
On the Oracle side, I have configured the ODBC Systems connection to MySQL, and it connects successfully. I have also configured tnsnames.ora as follows:
mysqlecommerce=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=dvlps11.cosine.com.cy)
(PORT=1521)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SID=mysql_gateway))
(HS=OK))
I have initmysql_gateway.ora with the following two lines:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = mysqlecommerce
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ODBC
and I have included the following into the listener.ora file:
SID_LIST_LISTENER=
(SID_LIST=
(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=mysql_gateway)
(ORACLE_HOME=C:\Oracle11g\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM=dg4odbc)
I have also created a dblink as follows:
create public database link "MYSQLECOMMERCE"
connect to MYSQLDB
identified by "<pwd>"
using 'mysqlecommerce';
Now when I try to run a simple SQL selection such as:
select "id_category" from "ps_category"@mysqlecommerce
I get the following reply:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver][mysqld-5.1.36-community-log]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '"id_category" FROM "ps_category" A1' at line 1
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from DG4ODBC
Can anyone please help me understand what is going on?
Thank you in advance!

The syntax error is caused by your MySQL database not running in ANSI mode. By default DG4ODBC sends ansi compliant code to the foreign database and this means for case sensitive column and table names it surrounds them by double quotes. MySQL db not running in ANSI compliant mode rejects them and uses a back tick to preserver the case - thus it reports a syntax error in case of double qoutes.
To solve the issue please have a look at My Oracle Support note:
Problems Selecting Mysql Data Using 11.1.0.6 DG4ODBC - Error In Your SQL Syntax [ID 553030.1]

Hi,
My OS is windows XP 32 bitOkay. Did you check the state of the Oracle Services?
I reinstalled the software again and mySQL is working good.mySQL?! Or do you mean, you can connect using sqlplus (the database "command line")?
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950The link is correct. Do you have any other service that might use port 8080, e.g. an Apache Tomcat, IIS, or similar?
So, if you can connect using sqlplus (which didn't work in your first post, probably works now after reinstallation), you could open up a command line window and run
lsnrctl statusIf you don't find an entry like the following one, your Database Listener wasn't able to bind to that port. Either you have a (rapid) changing hostname/IP-adress, no active network interface, or a port conflict.
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=yourhostname)(PORT=8080))(Presentation=HTTP)(Session=RAW))
{code]
The output of that command gives you several other information that might help you find resources for debugging, e.g. the location of your *Listener Parameter File* and your *Listener Log File*. You can take a look at these to find out what's going wrong.

I recommend you read the '2 Days DBA' manual in order to get a basic understanding. It may be necessary to uninstall the current installation(s), especially the last error message looks like a corrupted environment.

DB Migration from MYSQL to ORACLE Using Offline Capture

Hi
Am doing a database migration from MySQL to Oracle using SQL Developer (version 2.1.1.64). So far, I've successfully captured the MySQL database and converted it to the Oracle Model. However, when generating offline scripts to create the converted model schema into Oracle DDL scripts it managed to generate SQL to create: 1) User 2) Sequences 3) Tables 4) Triggers and 5) constraints.
It has created the SQL to add the primary key constraints and index constraints. Although it did the foreign key constraints in the SQL, the foreign key constraints seems to have missed the cascading options for the foreign key constraint. I.e. theres no reference of whether the foreign key constraint will restrict on delete or cascade etc.
We have a foreign keys in the MySql database that have different cascading options and these have not being ported over into the migration SQL. Therefore, all the foreign keys generated in the SQL by default are cascade to restrict on delete.
Does 'Generate Oracle DDL' not take into account a foreign key's on delete cascading option?
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
that reminded me for the following thread:
Migration Microsoft SQL Sever 2005 to Oracle 11g cascade on delete problem
That is a similar issue, isn't it?
I opened a bug for that, and it will be fixed in SQL Developer 3.1 (not in any 3.0 Early Adopter version). If you hit the same issue, there is no other way then using the workaround as used in the mentioned thread.

Oracle 11g install issues on Windows 7

I have had some problems installing Oracle on Windows 7 in that it seemed to crash while checking prerequisites. After several attempts it for some reason continued the installation. I had accepted the default settings and was installing from a USB drive to the same drive. The install did have a few error messages along the way such as "file not found. F:\app\ben\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\oc4j\j2ee\oc4j_applications\applications\em.ear" and ""file not found. F:\app\ben\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\ctx\admin\dr0ulib.sql.sbs". Also, towards the end it gave a message "Template General_Purpose.dbc does not exist. Please specify an existing template for database creation. <OK>". Despite these errors it seemed to successfully install. On the other hand I cannot log in to it as I attempt to try to set up some kind of basic database for myself. I go to the BIN directory and run sqlplus with "system" as the username and the password I had specified, but get the error "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error". Googling around a bit I tried to see if Oracle Services was running, but only saw OracleMTSRecoveryService and OracleRemExecService (and could not work out how to get any service running beyond what was listed there). I set up the path ORACLE_HOME to the BIN directory but there was not change in the situation. I just need a to set up a basic database on my PC so I can mess around with it. How can I get this going?
Thanks,
Ben
