Sybase to oracle

how do we convert these to oracle ?
New to oracle and assuming the decode will work, not sure how that works.
#1
convert(char(4) not null,(substring('0',1 - abs(sign(char_length(convert(varchar(4),RCRC_ID)) - 3)),1) + RCRC_ID)),
#2
In sybase
where column_name > " "
fetches everything greater than the ascii value for space
Is it same in oracle ?
Thank you

Hi,
The Oracle Migration Workbench supports migrations from Sybase to Oracle. We will have the latest version available from this web site in the coming weeks so watch this space.
Re:- multiple text columns. We migrate these to CLOBs in Oracle.

Sybase to Oracle 10g migration

GROUP BY clause diff in Sybase and Oracle

Hi,
I am migrating code from Sybase to Oracle and came across a strange issue which is widely known to others :)
In Sybase , one can use columns or calculations in the SELECT expressions that don't appear
in the GROUP BY clause of the query. Like
SELECT order.custid,customer.name,MAX(payments)
-> FROM order, customer
-> WHERE order.custid = customer.custid
-> GROUP BY order.custid;
works fine but for SQL we need to add customer.name to GROUP BY clause.
On the similar lines, here is my SQL query
INSERT INTO GTT_CTRT_recalc_proc
(id_fin_rec,
id_imnt,
id_instr_opn,
dt_instr_opn,
dt_opn,
dt_cls_loanet,
dt_prcss,
am_invst)
SELECT t1.id_fin_rec,
t1.id_imnt,
t1.id_instr_opn,
t1.dt_instr_opn,
t1.dt_opn,
NVL(t1.dt_cls_loanet, l_dt_to),
t1.dt_prcss,
SUM(t2.am_invst) + (0.123 * (1 - abs(sign(0 - SUM(t2.am_invst)))))
FROM GTT_CTRT_TEMP_recalc_process t1, GTT_CTRT_TEMP_recalc_process t2
WHERE t2.id <= t1.id
AND t2.id_imnt = t1.id_imnt
AND t2.id_instr_opn = t1.id_instr_opn
AND t2.dt_instr_opn = t1.dt_instr_opn
GROUP BY t1.id_imnt,
t1.id_instr_opn,
t1.dt_instr_opn,
t1.dt_opn,
t1.dt_cls_loanet,
t1.dt_prcss;
Which does not have t1.id_fin_rec in GROUP BY failing it in SQL.
I know that if I add this column in GROUP BY it will work fine but I am told to keep the functionality as it is as the result before and after adding the column would be diff of-course.
Please guide me about what can be done in this situation and is there any work around for this?
Thanks,
Aashish

That's a piece of nasty denormalisation. We shoudl also expect trouble we do stuff like that. Anyway, I think encapsulating the stuff from T2 into an inline view should sort you out....
INSERT INTO GTT_CTRT_recalc_proc
(id_fin_rec,
id_imnt,
id_instr_opn,
dt_instr_opn,
dt_opn,
dt_cls_loanet,
dt_prcss,
am_invst)
SELECT t1.id_fin_rec,
t1.id_imnt,
t1.id_instr_opn,
t1.dt_instr_opn,
t1.dt_opn,
NVL(t1.dt_cls_loanet, l_dt_to),
t1.dt_prcss,
, t2.total
FROM GTT_CTRT_TEMP_recalc_process t1
    , ( select id_imnt,
                id_instr_opn,
                dt_instr_opn,
                SUM(am_invst) + (0.123 * (1 - abs(sign(0 - SUM(am_invst))))) AS total
        FROM GTT_CTRT_TEMP_recalc_process
       GROUP BY id_imnt,
                       id_instr_opn,
                       dt_instr_opn ) t2
WHERE t2.id <= t1.id
AND t2.id_imnt = t1.id_imnt
AND t2.id_instr_opn = t1.id_instr_opn
AND t2.dt_instr_opn = t1.dt_instr_opn
GROUP BY t1.id_imnt,
t1.id_instr_opn,
t1.dt_instr_opn,
t1.dt_opn,
t1.dt_cls_loanet,
t1.dt_prcss;Cheers, APC

Migrate sybase to oracle 11G

Hello,
We have a customer that wants to migrate from sybase to Oracle 11g. I know you can migrate through SQL Developer but therefor you have to connect to the sybase database.
If you may not connect to the sybase database, due to security reasons, is there another solution to migrate?
For example take an export from sybase, get the dump file and import into Oracle? Or setup a replica sybase database and export/import the original sybase database and then migrate to Oracle?
Many thanks.

Yes there is. You can do an OFFLINE migration using SQL Developer.
The offline migration using SQL Developer is based on scripts (generated by the SQL developer) that export mandatory information from the Sybase database, put that info into flat files which SQL Developer will then read in to collect the foreign database information and finally to create with that information the Oracle model.
Same can be done for the data move which will then export all data from the tables you want to migrate and to import them using SQL*Loader.
So get SQL Developer and then click on Tools -> Migration -> Create Database Migration Scripts, then choose Sybase database and if the Sybase admin wants to export the Sybase database information from a Unix or Windows based client. The tool will now create scripts for you that you can pass to the Sybase admin. Let him run them which will create 2 directories with a couple of data files in it. Let the Sybase admin now zip them and pass them to you to start the Offline migration.

Transporting data between sybase and oracle

I want to know how do you transport data from sybase to oracle. The table are created in sybase and we want to move
everything over to Oracle8i

I want to know how do you transport data from sybase to oracle. The table are created in sybase and we want to move
everything over to Oracle8i .if sysbase has a facility to export the tables as comma separated text files, export them and then user sql *loader to load the data into oracle.
you can check out oracle utilities documentation for sql *loader case studies.
if there is a huge amount of data, you can try oracle trasnparent gateway for sybase. thank you..:>)

Going from Sybase to Oracle

Hi.
I'm kind of new at this, so please bear with me.
We're moving from Sybase towards Oracle, and there we have a problem.
I'd like to know if you have to change the way you make the Java SQL-queries, in order to make it work with Oracle DB's.
Any help appreciated
Thanx in advance

There is always a possibility that the jdbc syntax being used may have some "sybase specific" extension to the jdbc spec syntax.
when you move the application from sybase to the oracle rdbms, some of these "sybase" extensions to the jdbc syntax may not work.
assuming you're using rdbms 8.1.6 then you want to review any syntax issues you run into with the following java dcumentation :
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/
make sure you thoroughly test your applications.
i hope thi9s helps ...

Sybase to Oracle Migration

Hi,
My case is little bit different.I have Sybase Database and Oracle Database
and I need to migrate from Sybase to Oracle but unfortunately both these servers are not connected .
Please suggest how to do data verification.I was planning to use DMV.
Regards
Amit

Amit,
In this case you need to do a manual verification. You can do this in a number of ways. Essentially you issue the "same" SQL against Sybase and Oracle and compare the results.
A simple check would be doing a count(*)
A slightly more complex check might be doing a SUM function
A more complex check could be issuing a complex SQL statement, that would validate further the integrity of the data, by including multiple columns within the query (i.e. as part of a where clause)

Sybase to Oracle Data Conversion

Whats the quickest way to move data from Sybase to Oracle ? What options are available ?
Database objects (table ddls, procs, triggers - everything else is already in place in Oracle) - already provided by Vendor.
Overview about the database :
Datatype difference
Sybase datetime converted to Oracle Timestamp
Other datatypes are related
int - int
char - char
varchar - varchar
Timestamps are part of PK & FK in few tables.
Approx 1000 tables to convert
Some tables have 25- 75 million rows
Thank you
Yog

Another approach you might like to try is to use the manual approach of data migration.. where underlying idea is to bcp out the data from Sybase and thereafter use sqlloader to load data into the oracle tables.. and if you happen tro use DIRECT=TRUE with sqlloader nothing better.... its really fast..
sql developer would generate the bcp out script.. extract the scripts... run them on the sybase host ...move the dump files to oracle host... run the sqlloader scripts..
AT our end 15G worth data migration took 1 day using sql developer but the manual approach would do the stuff in 3-4 hours.
Anyway would like to put 1 issue I am facing..
In sybase the datetime contains the values to the level of Milisecond whereas when it comes to date column in Oracle it is just to the level of seconds .. => that if there is a primary key sybase table column.. and this truncation at orale level would make the inserts to fail with duplication errors... any thoughts on how to overcome this problem....
Thanks

Importing DB info from Sybase to Oracle 9i

Could someone please tell me if it is possible to import a sybase db into oracle 9i. The reason, I need to be able to import and excisting DB from sybase to Oracle for a project.

In your control file for SQL*Loader, specify the timestamp with format like "Mon DD yyy hh:mi:ss:ff3AM".

Migration help - Sybase to Oracle

Hi,
we are currently migration our applicaiton from Sybase to Oracle. Oracle version we are using is 8.1.7 for Windows.ok now here is problem,
In order to update a table we compare more than 1 table, which we can specify in the "from clause of the update" in sybase, but oracle it does not allow this
for Eg: ( In sybase )
update table1 set
activeFlag = 0,
revId = revId + 1
from table2, table3
where table1.col1 = table2.col1
and table1.col2 = table2.col2
and table1.col3 = table3.col1
I am running out of ideas to convert this statement to suitable Oracle syntax.Any help in the conversion will be greatly appreciated
thanks
vijay

I'm not sure I understand what your statement would do in Sybase but perhaps this is what you are looking for?
update table1 set
activeFlag = 0,
revId = revId + 1
where exists (select null
from table2, table3
where table1.col1 = table2.col1
and table1.col2 = table2.col2
and table1.col3 = table3.col1)

Sybase to Oracle : do I have to use the Sybase account "sa" ?

I'd like to migrate from Sybase to Oracle.
The Sybase DBA's are reluctant to divulge the password to the account "sa".
Is there any other account I can use ?
If so, what privileges does it need ?
( In my version of Mig W'bench, the user id is greyed out in the login box )
Thanks

Hi Peter,
this is something that we enforce in the Workbench in order to ensure that the migration will run without any hitches. We could allow you to change the user name but that may cause more trouble. At least with the sa user we have the ability to extract all the objects we need from the database.
The workbench should not harm a database. It performs in a read only mode most of the time. The only time we actually modify a SQL Server database is when a user chooses to migrate their data via scripts. In this case we create views so that BCP can extract the DATETIME data accuratley. However, we remove these views once we are finished.

John

Problem while migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Quick Migrate

Hi,
For SQL Developer version 2.1, while migrating from sybase to oracle, Using Quick migrate, during data move step, for the rows having ''(Blank) values in TEXT data type in SYBASE, which is convertd to CLOB in Oracle, the migration for that table terminates at that row.
However, NULL values in Sybase TEXT data type are successfully inserted in Oracle CLOB.
How can we overcome this?

reproduced and see exception in console, bug logged.

Migrating from Sybase to Oracle

Hi!
Can someone tell me, how to migrate from Sybase to Oracle.
Thank U.

Hi,
You don't say if you have used the SQL*Developer migration workbench for the migration so far.
This has a feature for transferring data offline which should do what you want.
Have a look at the documentation linked from -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
or at -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm
