Need advice, sql server with asp or oracle with asp

hi !
i have been given a task to improve the design of a sql server database with more than 1 million records, front end is asp (code has to be written also, keeping user interface same). I would like to use oracle with asp, is it practical or should i go for sql server. i need your advice.
thanks in advance
lavinder

Depends on your definition of "practical".
My guess is that most of the work will be porting your back-end code from SQL*Server to Oracle. The Migration Workbench can help here, but there are often things that you do in SQL*Server code that you really don't want to do in Oracle code (i.e. frequent commits).
There is a good chance that you'd be able to improve the scalability of the application faster by fixing the problems that exist in the SQL*Server implementation. I think Oracle is inherently a much more scalable platform than SQL*Server, however, so I'm not trying to dissuade you from moving. It really depends on the end state you need to achieve and the amount of time & effort you're willing to put forward.

Sql Server Management Assistant (SSMA) Oracle okay for large database migrations?

All:
We don't have much experience with the SSMA (Oracle) tool and need some advice from those of you familiar with it. We must migrate an Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 database to SQL Server 2014. The Oracle database consists of approximately 25,000 tables and 30,000
views and related indices. The database is approximately 2.3 TB in size.
Is this do-able using the latest version of SSMA-Oracle? If so, how much horsepower would you throw at this to get it done?
Any other gotchas and advice appreciated.
Kindest Regards,
Bill
Bill Davidson

Hi
Bill,
SSMA supports migrating large database of Oracle. To migrate Oracle database to SQL Server 2014, you could use the latest version:
Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle. Before the migration, you should pay attention to the points below.
1.The account that is used to connect to the Oracle database must have at least CONNECT permissions. This enables SSMA to obtain metadata from schemas owned by the connecting user. To obtain metadata for objects in other schemas and then convert objects
in those schemas, the account must have the following permissions: CREATE ANY PROCEDURE, EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE, SELECT ANY TABLE, SELECT ANY SEQUENCE, CREATE ANY TYPE, CREATE ANY TRIGGER, SELECT ANY DICTIONARY.
2.Metadata about the Oracle database is not automatically refreshed. The metadata in Oracle Metadata Explorer is a snapshot of the metadata when you first connected, or the last time that you manually refreshed metadata. You can manually update metadata
for all schemas, a single schema, or individual database objects. For more information about the process, please refer to the similar article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh313203(v=sql.110).
3.The account that is used to connect to SQL Server requires different permissions depending on the actions that the account performs as the following:
• To convert Oracle objects to Transact-SQL syntax, to update metadata from SQL Server, or to save converted syntax to scripts, the account must have permission to log on to the instance of SQL Server.
• To load database objects into SQL Server, the account must be a member of the sysadmin server role. This is required to install CLR assemblies.
• To migrate data to SQL Server, the account must be a member of the sysadmin server role. This is required to run the SQL Server Agent data migration packages.
• To run the code that is generated by SSMA, the account must have Execute permissions for all user-defined functions in the ssma_oracle schema of the target database. These functions provide equivalent functionality of Oracle system functions, and
are used by converted objects.
• If the account that is used to connect to SQL Server is to perform all migration tasks, the account must be a member of the sysadmin server role.
For more information about the process, please refer to the similar article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh313158(v=sql.110)
4.Metadata about SQL Server databases is not automatically updated. The metadata in SQL Server Metadata Explorer is a snapshot of the metadata when you first connected to SQL Server, or the last time that you manually updated metadata. You can manually update
metadata for all databases, or for any single database or database object.
5.If the engine being used is Server Side Data Migration Engine, then, before you can migrate data, you must install the SSMA for Oracle Extension Pack and the Oracle providers on the computer that is running SSMA. The SQL Server Agent service must also
be running. For more information about how to install the extension pack, see Installing Server Components (OracleToSQL). And when SQL Express edition is used as the target database, only client side data migration is allowed and server side data migration
is not supported. For more information about the process, please refer to the similar article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh313202(v=sql.110)

Migrating MS SQL Server 7.0 TO Oracle 8.1.5

Hello,
We are currently using Win NT 4.0, MS SQL Server with a PVCS Tracker 6.0 from Merant and will be upgrading to PVCS Dimension 6.0 from Merant.
The Dimension 6.0 product runs on Win NT 4.0, uses Oracle Server 8.1.5 with Oracle 8 ODBC Driver 2.5.3.1.0
I need to migrate MS SQL Server 7.0 To Oracle 8.1.5. Do you have a migration procedure available?
Thanks!

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.
null

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.

John

Migration from sql-server 7.0 to oracle 8i

Hai,
I have one huge database in sql-server 7.0.
That database has chienese,arabic and korean data. And i have created one database in oracle 8.1.6 with character set UTF8.
By using migration work bench i couldn't transfer sql-server data into oracle 8.1.6 database which has character set utf8.
But i have managed to transfer sql-server 7.0 to oracle 8.1.6 database which has us7ascii character set.
Please give me the steps to transfer from sql-server 7.0 to oracle 8.1.6 database which has the character set utf8.
I need it very very urgetnt.
Best Regards,
Sudhir.

I understand that it would not be in the best interests of Oracle, monetarily that is (at least in the visible/tangible sense), to develop such a migration tool, but since the competition hasn't, why shouldn't you? I'm sure Prabha's not the first to inquire of such a thing, and I'm sure I'd have asked a similar question if I wasn't responding to you in this way. We all know Oracle is the better db - That's why we're here talking about it - but not everyone we do business with understands that, so establishing a two way street is the best way, short of requiring it of our clients, to turn them on to Oracle. I don't really think developing such a thing would hurt your business (unless MS can keep you from doing it). If your product is that much better (which we agree is true), you shouldn't be afraid of the competition. As for being afraid of proprietary constraints, I can't blame you, because I don't know how much it constrains you.

Hi Prabha,
My first reaction to your question would be "why would anyone want to migrate FROM Oracle and TO SQLServer ?". Oracle is easily the better database !

How to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle

Hi all,
Please anybody tell me how to call a sql server stored procedure from oracle.
I've made an hsodbc connection and i can do insert, update, fetch data in sql server from oracle. But calling SP gives error. when I tried an SP at oracle that has line like
"dbo"."CreateReceipt"@hsa
where CreateReceipt is the SP of sql server and hsa is the DSN, it gives the error that "dbo"."CreateReceipt" should be declared.
my database version is 10g
Please help me how can i call it... I need to pass some parameters too to the SP
thanking you

hi,
thank you for the response.
when i call the sp using DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH, without parameters it works successfully, but with parameters it gives the following error
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid parameter number[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index (SQL State: S1093; SQL Code: 0)
my code is,
declare
c INTEGER;
nr INTEGER;
begin
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@hsa;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@hsa(c, 'Create_Receipt(?,?)');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@hsa(c,1,'abc');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE@hsa(c,2,'xyz');
nr:=DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@hsa(c);
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@hsa(c);
end;
Create_Receipt is the sp which requires two parameters.
please give me a solution
thanking you

Migration SQL Server 6.5 to Oracle 8.0.5

I have used the correct option and the Migration Workbench is
not creating the DDL statements correctly for the creation of
table. Whatever may be the problem I want use DBMS_SQL for
creation of unique table names with session id as part of the
table name. I need a sample script to use session id as part of
table name and to vary the name of the table dynamically in
DBMS_SQL. It is not accepting the variable name for table name
in create table statement.

Export data from MS sql server table to an oracle table

I need to move data from a sql server table to an oracle table and when ever the sql server table is updated it needs to automatically update the oracle table. Is there procedure to do this or do I migrate the data once and set up a trigger on the sql server table to update the oracle table? If the trigger is the answer how do I do that?

You might want to check out Oracle's heterogeneous services functionality if you haven't done so already. Here are a few links:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/toc.htm
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/majfeat.htm#sthref74
Also, consulting the Oracle streams manual may be helpful -- particularly Chapter 5.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14228/toc.htm
Perhaps someone who is more familiar with SQL Server could provide a more helpful answer.

Conn problem SQl Server 64 Bit to Oracle 32 bit using SSIS packages

I have doubt like....
1.Can i install 32 bit oracle also at (S1) 64 bit SQL Server(SSIS)
or only 64 bit oracle?
2.Running command line for SSIS packages at S1
i am unable to connect S1---->S2 using SSIS packages?

Hi,
I was setting up VMware vCenter 4.1 (probably the only well known and largely used product with this lethal mix) and needed to setup an ODBC access to Oracle on the 32 bit side of Windows to setup the Update Manager server component, which is still a 32 bit application)
The problem with Oracle configuration is that in no way I found a 32 bit ODBC registered driver after the setup (of the 32 bit client and the 64 database server). I tried some third party driver for oracle (e.g. easysoft).They registered in the 32 bit ODBC manager but they never got a successful connection.
Also if this vCenter requirement is questionable (more questionable considering that the setup of this 32 component is not allowed on a 32 separate OS, not because it is separate but because is a 32 bit OS) I would get it working.
Could suggest a way to get this working?
Thanks
Fabio D'AlfonsoWhen you install the Oracle client software on Windows (which is necessary to support ODBC, as the Oracle ODBC driver sits on top of the native client software) the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. You have to go back and do a "custom" install and select the "Windows components".

Replication SQL Server 7 Database to Oracle 9i

I'm new to Database Replication, what are the steps for database replication from a MS SQL Server 7 database to Oracle 9i? Eventually this SQL Server Database will be going to SQL Server 2000 are the steps different, if so what are they?
Thanks

I do not what you mean with Replicate between SQL Server and Oracle. Perhaps you mean migrate from SQL Server to Oracle or to stablish a transparent gateway.

How to migrate MS SQL Server OLAP data to Oracle 10g OLAP

Hi,
Anyone has any idea on whether migration workbench can migrate my MS SQL Server OLAP data to Oracle 10g (with OLAP option) ?
Best Regards,
Ian Ho

Ian,
What exactly do you mean by SQL*Server OLAP ? Is it just a 'normal' SQL*Server database which is used for an OLAP application ?
The migration workbench migrates schema objects, triggers, and stored procedures and is not concerned with the application that uses those objects.
And the same with the Oracle OLAP database. Once the data etc has been moved into the database you can then use it for whichever application you want.
If you have concerns apart from moving the actual data then please give us more details.
Regards,
Mike

Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

Hi,
I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
Thanks,
poratips

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.
