Importing an oracle db

  • We have a single oracle database on our servers, and we want to bring it into sql server so we no longer need to support oracle. Is it possible to export the table structures and the data and then import it into sql server?

    Absolutely. Table structures are data are a walk in the park, SSMA is the right tool for it... here: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration-oracle.aspx

    Fun begins when you go for the code, usually it is better to rewrite it from scratch.
