I have 200+ Oracle tables that need to be moved to an SQL 2008 database. Creating a data flow for each would be a lengthy process and the Import Export wizard doesn't let me edit data types when we have issues. Has anyone found a way to create a package quickly?

may I ask why not "SQL Server Migration Assistant"?
It's free and was specifically designed for Oracle to SQL Server migration.

Up to now, we have never moved a complete database. For the most part we use linked servers of ad hoc queries to pull data so I just didn't think about SSMA since I have not had a need for it. Honestly, I completely forgot about it:-D
Thanks
