Data Import

  • I want to import Oracle Database into SQL Server 2005 Using Import Export wizard. Can any body suggest me how can i do this...

  • To the best of my knowledge, you can't. You can certainly use SSIS or DTS to transfer tables and data, but some of the datatypes won't be what you'd expect. Also, the myth of portable code comes into play. You can't simply copy sprocs and UDF's from Oracle to SQL Server and actually expect them to work. Some good bit of rewriting will be necessary unless all of your sprocs are totally braindead ANSI compliant sprocs. Even then I believe you'll find problems because everyone has their own time table as to which ANSI spec they'll meet and when.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Question... do you intend to migrate a database from Oracle to SQL Server or do you just want to import into SQL Server some data that is sitting on an Oracle database?

  • Use SSIS as suggested by Jeff. Pay attention to datatypes.

    1. Data migration

    You can use SSIS to migrate data from Oracle to SQL Server. Be careful about code page if your data contains unicode characters. You need to set the 'Default Code Page' properties of the 'Data Source' and 'Destination' controls of the SSIS. If the code page is not set properly, junk data will be migrated for the unicode data, even though it may give you message of completing succesfully.The default code page in SSIS is 1252 (English US).

    2. database code (UDF, trigger, procesures etc) migration

    You can use the SSMA (SQL Server Migration Assiatant) to migrate the back end source code. You can down load this tool which is free of charge as of now. Even if it can not migrate the source code in the most ideal way, it is helpful to get you started. You need to know the business logic as well as the TSQL (MS) and PL/SQL (Oracle) syntaxes very well to be able to achive a good migration. You should also know the internal working of both SQL Server and Oracle to get the migrated database work optimally.

    Sincerely,

    Maz

    As stated by poster he does not intends to migrate code -adding white noise may lead to confusion.
