restore sql db from oracle dump

  • hi,

    Can I restore a dump taken in Oracle into SQL Server 2005? If yes, how? Any suggestion will be appreciable...

    Thanks

  • as per my knowledge ,it is not possible to directly import .dmp file to sql server.

    we need to use a third party tool.like

    Yes, you will need to use a third party tool.

  • I believe informatica is one such tool that can do this.

  • Hi,

    If by 'dump' you mean an export file (.dmp), then you will need to import it into an Oracle database first. Then you could create a linked server etc. for data movement to SQL Server.

    If you don't have Oracle in your organisation, install the free Express edition http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/index.html on your PC, and import the .dmp using the 'imp' command at the C: prompt. HTH

  • Be aware

    "Oracle Database XE can be installed on any size host machine with any number of CPUs (one database per machine), but XE will store up to 4GB of user data, use up to 1GB of memory, and use one CPU on the host machine."

    4 GB of user data is not very much.

    I had the same situation and managed to find a company in my vincity which had Oracle and SQL Server where

    I for a small amount of money could set up a linked server combination and move the data.
