Oracle Express Database to Microsoft SQL

We are trying PCM v13 and when we installed it we choose to go with the Oracle Express database, if i want to install PCM again but this time using a Microsoft SQL database can i migrate or convert the previous database ?
Also I would like to know if there is a method to migrate the database of PCM 13 to be compatible with a PCM v14
Thanks in advance

The dbsetup utility includes options for both migrating from one dbms to another, and also for converting from a prior version, so the answer to both questions is yes.

  • How to make data base link from oracle 11g r2 to microsoft sql 2008 express

    I need to make data base link from oracle 11g r2 to microsoft sql 2008 express to make replication between then
    please help me !
    I didn't know what is the user and password in the command which create database link

    To replicate data you can ude Database Gateway for ODBC or Database Gatewy for MS SQl Server. Please use the search engine of this forum if you ant to get more details about each product.
    Some SQl Servers are set up to use Windows authentication only. In this case you won't be able to connect to the SQL Server as Windows authentication isn't supported with the gateways. You have to make sure your SQL server is supporting username and password authentication - a common user is the "sa" user. Regarding the username/password, please get in touch with your SQL Server Admin.

  • Migrate  oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

    Hi All,
    I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
    Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
    Platform : Aix
    Kindly help me out

    Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
    Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
    As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

    Hello,
    SQL Server 2012 setup program won’t allow you to perform a downgrade from SQL Server 2014 Express Edition. Backup/Restore
    and Detach/Attach won’t help you either.
    One option you have left is using SQL Server Import/Export Wizard as explained on the following article.

    When you want to connect from Oracle to a SQL server you need to use a gateway. Oracle offers 2 different kind of gateways. The gateway which is for free is based on a 3rd party ODBC. It is called Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) and allows you to connect to any foreign database as long as the ODBC driver is compliant with the gateway requirements documented in the manual.
    As it allows you to connect to any foreign database it only supports a few Oracle functions which is able to map to foreign database equivalents. All other functions are post processed.
    The more powerful product is Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) which is designed for MS SQL Server connections. Thus it supports many more functions which it is directly mapping to SQL Server equivalents and it is also able to participate in distributed transactions and to call SQL Server stored procedures. This DG4MSQL gateway is not for free and requires a license.
    I would suggest to check out My Oracle Support and look for this note:Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products          [Document 1083703.1]     
    It contains a reference to many other notes describing the differences between DG4ODBC and DG4MSQL and it also contains links to common set up notes.
    After looking at this note you'll notice that on Unix most 3rd party ODBC drivers are commercial drivers and you might need to purchase them as well. Sometimes the license costs for these drivers are more expensive then purchasing the DG4MSQL. Another option would be to install DG4ODBC on a Windows platform, for example on the SQL Server machine and you could then use the MS SQl Server ODBC driver which is for free and you then have a complete solution for free.

  • Cannot connect to Oracle express database using Oracle forms 10 on win XP

    Hello All,
    I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g along with Oracle Express edition database on Windows XP home edition. (Do get successful installation message)
    When i open up Forms builder and try to use connect option- it comes up with user name, password and database dialogue box?
    If I enter user name and password I choose while installation express edition database it comes up with the following error:
    "ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error"
    Have checked the services and they all seem to be running, have tried deinstalling/installing by removing registry values but still no luck.
    In fact what ever I type the error message remains the same.
    On the other hand I can access Express edition database using user name and password I choose during its installation.
    Can any one please reply me what details i need to enter here? Is it same as I set up during express edition database installation? What about database?
    Please help. As I am struggling big time.
    Thanks in advance.

    You may be having the same problem as this guy:
    Forms 6i - ora-012203 tns:unable to connect to the destination
    You need to start SQL Plus and see if you can log in, too, to make sure there are not other problems.
    What are you using for the Database name (the third entry following username and password)?

  • Content Server 7.5.2 upgrade to use Oracle 10g database from MS SQL

    Customer is currently on Content Sever 7.5.2 (Unicode) running with a Microsoft SQL Database. They want to
    change to an Oracle database. During a new installation we would specify
    Content Server with the Unicode Option and select the oracle database option.
    We are now post installation (18 months) and the want to switch over to use an
    Oracle database.
    Can someone please provide instructions for doing this from MS SQL to
    Oracle 10gR2 (patched up to 10.2.0.4) with the Unicode option (nvarchar2
    (Unicode) vs varchar2 (non-Unicode)).
    I have submitted an SR (7517840.994) for this and they indicated I need to post a message.
    Thank you
    Steve Brault

    Hi Steve,
    I am just summarizing the requirement you are having . Correct me if I am wrong
    You have a CS 7.5.2 running on MS-SQL. You want to migrate to CS 10gR3 running on a Oracle DB ? Or is it that you want to migrate only to a new database which is oracle DB?
    For the first case what you need to do is to export all your contents through the archiver for CS 752 and all your configurations and metadata through Config Migration Utility. Then install a new CS instance running on oracle Db and import the Config Migration Bundle and then all the contents through the archiver.
    For the second case you will have to take a backup of the data on the DB and also the DDL's of the Tables that are created apart from the normal content installation. Then you will have to run these DDL's on the Oracle DB (after changing the syntax) and make sure that on both DB instances all the table structures are identical.
    Then you will have to load the data exported from MS-sql to Oracle DB. The export ca be done to a excel so that the same can be loaded on the oracle DB.
    Before this you will have make the changes in the config.cfg for the CS and that is as follows :
    #Database Variables
    JdbcDriver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
    JdbcConnectionString=jdbc:oracle:thin:@ecmtest.idc.oracle.com:1521:orcl
    JdbcUser=testsr2
    JdbcPassword=NsFKKQ0iRkKzvq+iDoXSDDqY2y1EgQhmRr7J3mDyvQQ=
    JdbcPasswordEncoding=Intradoc
    DatabasePreserveCase=1
    Your config.cfg should have entries like this for Oracle DB. You will have to change the JdbcDriver,JdbcConnectionString,JdbcUser,JdbcPassword,JdbcPasswordEncoding
    JdbcPasswordEncoding need to be changed to ClearText first so that you can put the password in normal language.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • Problem of Cube data in oracle express database

    I am having one problem related to express server database created using relational access administrator. I am using express objects to create some adhoc analysis reports. For that i have created express database using Relational Access Administrator(RAA). I have done the following steps:
         1. Created Dimensions (D1,D2,D3)
         2. Created Variable V1 having dimensions (D1,D2,D3)
         3. Mapped D1 dimension to D1_table (dimension table in oracle schema) and same for the rest two also
         4. Mapped Vaiable to F1_Table (fact table in oracle schema)
         5. Saved this project in RAA.
         6. It will create one Data Cude related to vairable V1.
         7. I have created express database maintenance procedure using RAA
         8. Executed express database maintenance (created above) using Batch manager.
         9. Now I try to access V1 variable in express objects. "It shows me values for all related dimensions in this variable,      But it does not show me value for the fact related to this vaiable. It shows blank information."
         If you have any solution then please let me know.
         Thanks in advance.

    Hi Visu,
    You can do the selective deletion after carefully making the selections. It may also be a good idea to break up the delete process: Like if you need to delete 2004 data for one company code, then you can do that montt by month.
    It is okay to include the compression in a process chain. What we usually do is to compress requests that are eg. older than 15 days. By that time we can be sure that this data is correct. You can also make these settings by number of requests to leave uncompressed.
    Hope this helps...

  • Oracle Express Database - Windows x64

    At the risk of being seriously repetitive, I'll post a question I have seen in various forms for approximately 3.5 years. The user community needs to have a specific, fact-based answer to the problem of no x64 support on Windows. In several threads one can find via Google, people purporting to be Oracle representatives claim a supported version will be available "soon". Soon in my neck of the woods generally means a time frame less than 3 years, but what do I know. Can someone please, please provide a definitive statement of direction on this issue, and assuming this is coming "soon", it would be overwhelmingly wonderful to have a specific date. My company plans/desires/hopes to release software that would embed an Oracle Express db, and frankly I'm about to throw in the towel if I can't get some visibility to this question. As I've heard from many ex customers, "there's always Sql Server".
    Regards, Roger Carter, President, DBConnect Solutions, Inc.

    Thanks for the update. I followed up with Oracle internally via our Oracle Partnership channel, and they checked with the VP of development responsible for XE. The official response is "there is no date where this will be provided for Windows x64. It is, however, under consideration." In my 25+ years of working with Oracle, I will give you my translation - it is not going to happen anytime soon, and to your point, it will probably be version 12 before you see anything. For us, this is a huge disappointment, and it means we will be abandoning many thing with Oracle. It's my view that they don't care about this vertical one bit.

  • Replacing a SQL Server 2005 Express Database with a SQL CE 3.5 database

    I am just googling for the past few days to find out the answer to this problem..
    I have an app developed over few man-years of effort - with vb.net and SQL 2005 Express Db. Now we use VS 2010 sp1 with .net 3.5 sp1.  We have used plain T-SQL commands and the app was performing admirably well. The DB has about forty tables. The data
    volume is about 200 to 300 mb max - but mainly it stays about 50 to 60 mb in many places. We are also using XML data transfers to backup the data.
    Now we want to shift to SQL CE 3.5 or 4.0 - just to avoid the pain of SQL Express download and installation by the users. We have successfully created a 3.5 and 4.0 sdf files. But when we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file in the VS2010 settings
    area, it just goes fine - the connection string is accepted and the app starts. But we get the usual error no 26 - unable to locate the database file - and a five line message that it is not able to connect to the sql server.
    Are we missing something ? We have included the sqlce dll in the references.. but just not able to make the app connect to the sdf file..
    All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app - but just we are not able to connect to the sdf database.
    We would appreciate help in this regard and also in doing a build with SQL Ce with Inno Setup which we have been using so long.
    Finally there is too much of SQL CEs around - but 3.5, 3.5 sp2 and now CE 4.0 seems to be ones to go in for. Which one is really the best for our app - 3.5 or 4.0 ?
    Thanks in advance.

    we change the connection from a mdf file to the sdf file ... All the codes, datasets, adapters, queries are just intact in the app...
    Agree with Erik, just changing the connection string don't work, you have to use data access components from
    System.Data.SqlServerCe Namespace instead of
    System.Data.SqlClient Namespace

  • Accessing Oracle LDAP Service from Microsoft SQL*Server2000

    Hi
    We are trying to link onto the Oracle LDAP service from a stored procedure in an SQL*Server 2000 database. But we are not able to succeed.
    Anyone who can share some experience with us on the topic? Is it at all possible to do what we are trying to do? Must we install some driver software (or the like) at the SQL*Server side? Or do we have to write a Java application instead that uses JNDI to access OID and then connect to the SQL*Server?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    Did you install oracle client on the machine? Can you do "tnsping <SID>"? Can you connect to DB using sqlplus ?
    Try using tnsname for server name.
    Connecting to Microsoft Data Sources Through ODBC Connection  This shows how to connect using ODBC connection. I think this would be more appropriate.

  • Reports & Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB support policy

    Hello,
    Willing to move some databases into Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (2014) Express LocalDB, I have tryed to map some reports on that database.
    Using OLE DB SQL Native Client (v11) and SAP CR RunTime SP10 (>SP9), I still have trouble when using this data source:
    After drawing some simple reports (standard ones with 2-3 fields from the database):
    - VS designer:
    + when "checking database" or "getting a preview" of the report, it always complains about missing tables.
    + when trying to "re-map" tables from one SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB to another one it fails, complaining about not findind resources.
    - Running application (.NET 4.0, 32 or 64-bits):
    + without any change to the report configuration: CR Viewer complains with multiple error codes (17, ...) that it cannot find the tables
    + trying to change the configured database from the report: CR VIewer complains with some more error codes
    => Is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB now officially supported by CR ?
    => Is changing datasource/database configuraton during execution now officially supported by CR ?
    Feel free to provide an any links / howto's / white paper about how managing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB with SAP CR !
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Don,
    I did not want you to think that I am not willing to change anything...
    The issue is that LocalDB specs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130822(v=sql.110).aspx) are not (seems not) fulfiled by what SAP APIs provide.
    Following specs, I need to provide ADO DB/SQL Native Client v11 an "AttachDBFileName" property which, for LocalDB instance, is equal to the DatabaseName property (check below screenshot from MS Mgmt Studio connected to a SQL Server 2012 LocalDB instance).
    Moreover, OLEDB discovery provide in CR 2013 UI this same list of "DatabaseName":
    When connected, this same CR 2013 UI got the right "view" of connected "MDF-labelled" names:
    Moreover, CR connected datasource properties also provide an "initial catalog" (databasename) value with that "MDF-labelled" name:
    That is what I saw previously in API dumped objects and what I tryed to reproduce in my code:
    As previously explained, after adding tables, I am also beeing able to add fields from those tables in my fresh-new report document:
    It fikrst shows results in preview but as soon as I try to refresh / add some more fields / ask CR to "check database" / "change database source", the interface always complain about having "lost" objects:
    Site note for Ludek Uher: CR 2013 StandaAlone fresh-new builded reports are not working neither using CR runtime SP10 when opening/updating that report..
    So YES, I am OK to change whatever is required but please explain me what to use/put into the "crConnectioninfo.DatabaseName" property for a SQL Express 2012 LocalDB case.
    Or leave it as is, LocalDB not being supported by CR ...
    (all my reports & c# code are working well while using SQL Express 2012 "classic" (not localdb)).
    Thanks again for your time.
    Regards.
