SQL Server 2005 Migration Q's

Ok so I have a SQL Server 2005 database and have migrated it to Oracle 10g Rev 2..
All the text fields are right padded :( how do I stop the extra padding on the text fields is there a flag or something ?
thanks

What are the column types in SQL Server and in Oracle?
CHAR types are always padded to their full length with spaces whereas VARCHAR types only store what is actually there.

Oracle 10g/11g to Sql Server 2005 Migration

Dear All,
I am a beginner to this migration Activities..
We have designed one Application which is havin Database as Oracle 10g.
and We had another small Application which is having Sql Server 2005 has Database.
Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..
Pls help me how to convert Database in Oracle 10g/11g to Database in sqlserver 2005..

Hello,
this is an Oracle forum and we are handling here migrations from foreign databases to an Oracle database.
For migrations in the other direction, in your case from Oracle to MS SQL Server, you need to read the Microsoft pages, e.g.:
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration.aspx
Daily we need to convert DB of Oracle to Sql server DB in order to acces recent updated data..Normally a migration is not a daily process, so I guess that you just want to transfer data from Oracle to SQL Server on a daily basis. If that is the case, you should consider to use our Gateways. Please start reading here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/gateways/index-100140.html
Using the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server (DG4MSQL) or the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) you can copy your data from your Oracle database to your SQL Server database, using a database link in the Oracle database.
Please let me know whether this answer helped you.

SQL Server 2005 Migration to Oracle 10g

Does anyone have any idea if a Migration Workbench beta plug-in exists for SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. I have a production system waiting to be moved over to Oracle and the users are getting impatient.
If there is nothing yet, does anyone have an alternate procedure to migrate a small schema (20 tables + 10 stored procedures) with a large amount of data?

Probably late in the day for this but
The workbench cannot handle SS2K5 directly at the moment. However as long as no new SS2K5 functionality has been used with a few tweaks this can be achieved.
1. Firstly use the SS2K offline capture scripts to build the directories for the database(s) you want to capture.
2 Secondly edit
(a) SS2K_SYSLOGINS.dat and take out long SS2K5 user records
(b) SS2K_SYSINDEXES.dat change FIRST ( forth column) to a value (say hex 1).
(c) SS2K_SYSUSERS.dat change ROLES (sixth column) to a value (say hex 1).
This should now load into the workbench. If it does not check the error.log file in <OMWB HOME>\log.

Migrating from MS SQL Server 2005 database to Oracle 10g

Migration From SQL Server 2005 to Oracle DB through Oracle SQ Dev Problem

Hi all,
we are trying to do a full Migration from MS SQL Server 2005 to Oracle DB 9.2 i
we are using Oracle SQL Developer V 1.5.3,
the capturing of the DB and the conversion to the oracle model completed succefully
however when we try to generate the scripts from the converted model
the script generation hangs on a sequence and no further progress is made (the script generation pop up keeps still on a certain sequence displaying its name, and thats it )
no error messages are displayed,
how can we know the reason for this? or atleast find a log for whats happening...
any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi,
migrating a sequence shouldn't make a problem. I did a quick test. I created this table in SQL Server:
create table test_seq (col1 int identity(1,1),col2 char(1))
Then I captured the table, converted the table and generated the script. There was no problem.
CREATE SEQUENCE succeeded.
CREATE TABLE succeeded.
Connected
TRIGGER test_seq_col1_TRG Compiled.
As you see, applying the script was also successful.
I am using Oracle RDBMS 11g, I don't know whether this makes a difference. Do you have any 11g instance available to test it?
Can you show me one of the sequences that are causing the hang? Is the CREATE SEQUENCE statement already in the generated script, or not? Your table is for sure more complex than my simple example.
Regards,
Wolfgang

Issue with migration DB from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 11.2 using SQL Developer Migration workbench

Hi,
We face an issue while migrating an SQL Server 2005 DB to Oracle 11.2. It fails during the process. I hope someone on the forum has seen this before and can give us some advice.
I use the latest version of SQL Developer with JRE included (3.2.20.09). The JDBC driver to connect to SQL Server 2005 is 1.2.0
Here are the steps we take in the Migration Workbench wizard:
I made an online extract of the SQL Server database.
Using the workbench in SQL Developer I created a migration repository in schema PDM_MIGRATION.
Next I start the migration, it captures the tables fine, but immediately after the start of the conversion I get a failed message without further explanations.
This is the content of the error xml:

Does anybody know what this error means and what steps we should take to continue the migration?
I see the PDM_MIGRATION.MIGR_FILTER is a type.
Many thanks in advance,
Kris

Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks for your reply.
This is how the type MIGR_FILTER looks like:
create or replace
TYPE MIGR_FILTER IS OBJECT (
FILTER_TYPE INTEGER, -- Filter Types are 0-> ALL, 1->NAMELIST, 2->WHERE CLAUSE, 3->OBJECTID LIST
OBJTYPE VARCHAR2(40),
OBJECTIDS OBJECTIDLIST,
NAMES NAMELIST,
WHERECLAUSE VARCHAR2(1000));
I think the repository user has the correct privileges. This is the overview of privileges it has:
SQL> select * from dba_sys_privs where GRANTEE in ('PDM_MIGRATION') order by GRANTEE;
GRANTEE PRIVILEGE ADM
PDM_MIGRATION ALTER SESSION NO

Migrate biztalk 2006R2/SQL server 2005 projects to Biztalk 2013/SQL server 2012

We have Biztalk application projects deployed on Biztalk 2006R2/SQL server 2005 environment on a single server
Now we have installed and configured Biztalk 2013/SQL server 2012 in a multicomputer environment where Biztalk server is on one computer while SQL server is on the other.
Now it's time to migrate the projects 2006R2 to 2013.. Is it a smooth process? I found a lot of posts about migration from 2006R2 to Biztalk 2010... Just wondering if it is similar or more complex?? Appreciate any help/suggestions.. thanks!!

Hi Annee,
Following article should answer your question:

Migration from of database and app from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Hello Every body,
Lately, I have been requested to migrate one inhouse developed hub application from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g. The objective is to move application and also the database to Oracel 10g.
Here is the current platform:
OS Win 2008 64 bit
JDK 1.4.2
JBoss 3.2.5
EJB 2.1
My question is what kind of issues you guys see in above upgrade. As far I know, Schema and Database migration can be done by Oracle workbench. Oracle 10g supports JDK 1.4. Oracle 10g also supports EJB 2.1.
Anything, I need to take into consideration or any risks or problems. I would like to list down all the risks, and accordingly, I am thinking of start the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zeeshan Qureshi

In general the Java/J2EE application needs work in the following categories:
1. Connection Settings: Use Oracle JDBC drivers, create new data sources, connection pools and what not. Disable AUTOCOMMIT for Oracle JDBC Connections.
2. For EJBs, you should regenerate the entity beans because some object names/column names might have changed in oracle.
3. Any custom SQL that is in use in the EJBs will have to be ported to Oracle just as you would do in stored procedures and other applications.
4. For Java front-ends, if you are using callouts to stored procedures and expecting result sets then they will require some changes. You need to modify the stored procedure call signature to include the REF CURSOR variables and process them.
5. Changes to any SQL Server specific database functions manipulating character/date data will be required.
6. CLOB/BLOB/XML apis are different across databases so if you are using those then focus on them as well.
7. Retreiving Auto/generated keys from database also may need changes from what I have seen.
Hope this helps..
Regards
Prakash

SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10.2.0.4 Migration

Hi,
While converting from SQL Server 2005 DB to Oracle 10.2.0.4 , The data migration completed.
The source is having Chinese and Japanese characters also,
Oracle Char Set set to Unicode(AL32UTF8)
After the migration all the chinese and Japanese chars are showing up as "?" In oracle DB. How to overcome this?
I have used Oracle Sql developer for the migration.
modified bcp command as follows:
bcp "abc.dbo.FONT" out "[abc].[dbo].[FONT].dat" -q -c -CRAW -t "<EOFD>" -r "<EORD>" -T -S<Servername> - Data got loded, but the charset is problem
bcp "abc.dbo.FONT" out "[abc].[dbo].[FONT].dat" -q -c -C850 -t "<EOFD>" -r "<EORD>" -T -S<Servername> - Data got loded, but the charset is problem
With below options data is not getting loaded itself.
bcp "abc.dbo.FONT" out "[abc].[dbo].[FONT].dat" -q -w -CRAW -t "<EOFD>" -r "<EORD>" -T -S<Servername>
bcp "abc.dbo.FONT" out "[abc].[dbo].[FONT].dat" -q -n -CRAW -t "<EOFD>" -r "<EORD>" -T -S<Servername>
bcp "abc.dbo.FONT" out "[abc].[dbo].[FONT].dat" -q -N -CRAW -t "<EOFD>" -r "<EORD>" -T -S<Servername>
Any help on this pls??

Hello,
please have a look at the following forum thread:
Arabic data migration problem
Just replace "arabic" by "chinese" or "japanese" in your mind if you read that thread, and let me know whether it is helpful for you.

SQL Server 2005 huge data migration. Taking more than 18 hours ...

Hi,
We are migrating an SQL server 2005 DB to Oracle 10 g 64 bit 10.2.0.5. The source sql server DB has few tables (<10) and only few stored procedure(<5). However one table of source is very huge, it has 70 million records in it. I started the migration process; it was running till 18 hours passed away then I cancelled it. I am using SQL Developer 3.1.0.7 with online migration.
Kindly let me know if I choose offline migration will it reduce the data move time. Is there some other tool by oracle that can migrate huge data (records in millions) quickly. Is there some configuration in SQL Developer that can catalyses the process?
Kindly help.
Best Regards!
Irfan

I tried using SQL Loader to move data. The file exported by SQL server for the transaction table is of size around 17 GB. The sql loader stopped giving error on file size limit. The error is given below:

Migration from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Dear buddies,
I need to migrate my tables with data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. How can I do it in the best possible way?
Please guide me.
Nith

Nith,
I doubt if there is one best practice that can cover all cases of migrating data from sql server to Oracle. l generally find various factors case-by-case that make me chose one approach over the other. Without considering the business case and environment specific factors, some of the things I would like to know would be: The data types of the tables columns, table sizes, number of tables and if this is a one time process or a recurring process.
One of the easiest (some times rather pesky) process would be:
-Dump source data (Sql Server data) into flat files, csv or any preferred format
-Setup a set of staging set of tables in the destination DB (Oracle in your case). You can setup the stage tables to enforce data-types, value sets and even some level of integrity constraints or any data logic or what ever you would like to filter out. Load the flat file data into a set of Oracle stage tables (Sql*Loader would be a good candidate)
-You can always move data from these stage tables to you application tables
You can script this whole process to run as batch or on demand or how ever you would like.
I am sure you can google and find a bunch of proprietary as well as open source tools to do the same with little to a lot of work.
good luck!

Are you migrating or taking continual updates?
If migrating it might be worth considering The SQLDeveloper Migration Workbench (which moves more than just data)..

DB Migration from MS SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 9i

Hi Guys
I want to migrate the data from Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to Oracle 9i.
Could ou please suggest me the how to proceed.
I can simply extract the das in CSV format as their are Foreign key , Primary key concept is there. So what will be the best way to proceed ....
regards
Macky

Macky,
In the coming months we will add support for SQL Server 2005 to the Oracle Migration Workbench. See our statement of direction on OTN for more details.
If you have extracted the data into a csv file format, you could construct a SQL Loader control file to load this data, assuming you have already created the table on the Oracle side.

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.

Automating Data Migration from SQL Server 2005

Hi All,
I need to migrate data from SQL Server 2005 to Oracle DB ( Datawarehouse). The data migration involves updating Dimensions and Fact table. I have got painful job of switching topology to point to over 100 different weekly SQL DBs ( in sequence) and pull the data into DW. How can I automate my ODI process to switch from one after the other.
Any Ideas?
KS

ODI Variables are there to help you with this. Please go through this post at [http://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/2009/05/using_odi_variables_in_topolog.html] .
This will show you how to use a variable Oracle data server.
On similar lines you should be able to switch to any of your 100 weekly SQL server DBs.
And loop in a sequence to load data from all of them.
Hope that helps
