SQL Server to Oracle transition

Hi,
I am SQL server DBA and application developer. At this point I decide to switch my career path to Oracle technology.
Is there any resource to help me transfer my SQL server knowledge to Oracle faster?
Any help would be appreciated,
Alan

Well, as you have worked in SQL Server, I believe it wont be a big problem to work with oracle. All the RDBMS rules are same, they may differ in syntaxes. You can search for the comparision between oracle and sql server on google, you will get tons of papers on it.
start with oracle dcoumentation, download from otn.oracle.com site, post your doubnts/question here in the forum, or search in http://asktom.oracle.com site.

    Depending on the version of the database you have, you could use transportable tablespaces.

  • Entity Framework - Code First - Migration - How to access SQL Server and Oracle using the same context?

    Hello,
    I use Entity Framework code first approach.
    My project is working fine with SQL Server. But, I want to access Oracle too. I want to switch SQL Server and Oracle in run time.
    I am able to access Oracle using "Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework.dl" in a new project.
    But, Is this possible to access SQL Server and Oracle in the same project.
    Thanks,

    This should be possible with a Code-First workflow.  In Code-First the database mapping layer is generated at runtime.

  • How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

    Hi All,
    Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
    Thank you,
    Praveen.

    we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
    DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
    DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
    Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

  • Related to migration of db from sql server to oracle 11 g

    We're trying to migrate a Sql server managment studio database to Oracle 11g using SQL Developer 4.0. We can successfully connect to both Sql server managment studion 8.0 and Oracle 11g using the tool, as well as click through the Migration Wizard and start the migration.
    This opens the Database Migration dialog box, which indicates the capture process starts normally. we get the following error:
    ora :01440 : can not insert null into migrlog (id column) ,
    \and then after some time , i get an error that migration failed
    i am not getting the reason,I thing it may be due to reason that , I have table's column in my source db with more than 30 character.
    If i am migrating one by one table . then it is not giving any error, and identifier name is getting shrink in 30 character. but i am not getting the view , stored procedure , indexes , and others
    then what is the solution  for that, somebody pls suggest any help?????????????               

    Pl do not post duplicates - related to migration of db from sql server to oracle 11 g
    Continue the discussion in your original thread
    The error message is explicitly clear
    ora :01440 : can not insert null into migrlog (id column)
    Your process is trying to insert a NULL value into the ID column, which presumably cannot be NULL

  • Different output of same query in SQL Server and Oracle

    If you notice the first column in both output. It is sorted in sql server and not in oracle.
    Why it is behaving differently in oracle? Is there any way I can solve this in oracle?
    Thanks,
    Jigs

    It is NOT behaving "differently" in Oracle; you just haven't specified an order that you expect your results to be in, so you're going to get output in whatever order the database fancies displaying it (ie. no guarenteed order). This is an artifact of how the database chooses to put together the data, and different databases (or even datasets within the same database) can and most likely will behave differently.
    Even SQL Server won't guarentee to always get your data in an ordered fashion if you exclude the order by clause, even if you think it has always output the data in an ordered fashion.
    Your solution is to add an order by clause, in BOTH databases, to force the order of the output data.

  • CONVERT function in SQL Server to oracle

    All,
    How to convert CONVERT function in SQL Server to oracle, below mentioned format is in SQL Server:
    variable1 = convert(numeric(20), SUBSTRING( parameter1,parameter2,parameter3)
    parameter1 datatype nvarchar2(100)
    parameter2 datatype bigint
    parameter3 datatype bigint
    I did bit R&D, but was not successful..but still getting on..
    If any help that would be great...
    Regards,
    ~ORA

    You cannot specify the precision/scale or length of input paramters to a stored procedure in Oracle, or at least the pl/sql engine does not respect the sizing. Assuming that you want to do something with variable1 in the procedure, and not just return it, the Oracle equivalent would be something along the lines of:
    SQL> CREATE FUNCTION f (p_param1 IN VARCHAR2,
      2                     p_param2 IN NUMBER,
      3                     p_param3 IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
      4     l_var1 NUMBER(20) := SUBSTR(p_param1, p_param2, p_param3);
      5  BEGIN
      6     RETURN l_var1 * 10;
      7  END;
      8  /
    Function created.
    SQL> SELECT f('ABC10DEF', 4, 2) FROM dual;
    F('ABC10DEF',4,2)
                  100You may need to adjust the return type to match what you are actually returning.
    You can also use this iin a direct assignment in pl/sql without doig a select, something like:
    SQL> DECLARE
      2     l_num NUMBER(20);
      3  BEGIN
      4     l_num := f('ABC10DEF', 4, 2);
      5     DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line('The number is: '||l_num);
      6  END;
      7  /
    The number is: 100John

    little confusion here, are you trying to tnsping sql server? tnsping is an Oracle utulity.
    To acces sql server from Oracle you may use Transparent Gateway for Microsoft SQL - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/gateways.102/b14270/ch3.htm#sthref66 and Heterogeneous Connectivity - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/intro.htm#sthref33

  • Migration from SQL server to Oracle

    Hi,
    Has anybody done migration from the SQL server to Oracle? If so, what manual method do you recommend? I'm a new college grad and I would like to get your expertise, if you have done this in the past.
    Thanks in advance!
    Sho

    It is some time back, so I do not remember the specifics. Oracle gives Oracle Migration Workbench for free. You can use it to convert all SQL tables and procedures etc to oracle. It is not that difficult. If there are no stored procedures etc, you can just extract the DDL and create the tables with minor changes to the script. You might need bcp-sqlloader/trasparent gateway etc copy the data.

  • Migration from SQL server to Oracle 10g

  • Migration from SQL Server to Oracle 8i

    Hi,
    what are the general issues to be considered when migrating a database from SQL server to Oracle 8i.
    Is it documented on the web/ or any publication
    Samit

    What we did was to create the schema using migration work bench and then transfer the data using data junction
    The main issues that you have to handle are
    1) Data type issue, here problem comes converting chars to varchars as chars are padded and may not work in indexes, so you have to trim the afterwards, and if you have any image type data types in Sqlserver, you can use either lobs or long raw, it again depends upon your application, if you uses lobs you may have to recode your application
    2) Sql statements, Oracle cannot understand Sqlserver sql statements, so you have to convert them all. Sqlserver allows two outerjoins to a table, Oracle does not, so you have to modify your functionality
    3) Connections to the database. if you are using ODBC then use Oracle ODBC drivers and the latest ones, otherwise you may encounter memory leaks.
    These are from the top of my head, if you have any specific problem I may be able to help.
    Good luck

  • How to extract incremental data from SQL server to oracle tables in ODI

    HI All,
    In my ODI sql server is install.My Source is in SQL server and my target is in Oracle.
    I need to create a interface mapping where i need to extract incremental data from sql server to oracle.
    There is a datetime(with Timestamp) field in sql server .I need to pull incremental data based on dateime.
    Example = tablename.DateTime > (select '1-jan-11' from dual) .....i am using this query but its not woking.the error is Invalid object name"dual".
    We are not going to use Incremental in IKM and LKM.
    Request you to please provide any suggestion ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Lony

    You can do that via Variable.
    In the interface mapping create a filter on Tablename.DateTime
    and put the condition like this
    Tablename.DateTime BETWEEN #VAR and in the variable use this query in refreshing tab with oracle schema
    SELECT max(start_time)||' AND '||max(END_TIME)+1 from audit_table where ETL_JOB_CODE = '20'In the package call the above variable in refresh mode and then interface.
    This way you will pass from the query between and condition date and pass to interface so that SQL Server fetches the data between those too range.
    Note:- You might need to tweak the date format so that SQL Server can understand.
    Hope this helps.
