1. Inputs on creating comments on the columns & Tables of a SQL
Database & generating the sql script of that.
2. Is it possible to call a .exe file in SQL server like following
code in ORACLE
create procedure CERT_VERIFY_PROCEDURE ( in :X Y by value )
language SQL;
external
name "CERT_VERIFY"
location 'HOST_IMG:TEST_CALCS.EXE'
with ALL logical_name translation
language C
GENERAL parameter style
3. We are using Rules for restricting data(now), We need inputs
whether to use Check constraints or Rules.
Does SQL Server has any equivalent of Oracle (PL/SQL) PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION ????
I am in a process of migrating Oracle database to SQL Server. I am facing trouble in the above mentioned thing, as I cannot compromise by not putting it.
Our clint need to migrate from already runner database on SQL SERVER 2005 to Oracle 9i, WHAT will be basic and important issue we will face in this term and HOW we will handle with our functions and procedures created in SQL SERVER 2005 database... ???
I want to do a data transfer but i am not sure how ..from oracle to sql server.
i want to know if its required to install the oracle client to configure so as to transfer data or not.
I heard from someone that if we change the win.ini file entry for oracle.ini and place the tnsnames.ora file i spcified location it will work but it does not what is the way to deal with..
How do i perform this with the odbc configuration for oracle..and use the same in the dts.
Has anyone ever tried to use this free software to migrate an old ORACLE 8.1.7 database to SQL Server 2005? I was just wondering if there were any "gotchas" I should be aware of before hand. Thanks, Robert
I selected my source Oracle database and my target SQL Server database. I click the convert SQL button and it takes about 20 minutes to convert everything. Then what? The Migrate Data button is greyed out. I configured the linked server as is outlined in the instructions. The "Migrate Data" button is always greyed out. I need to get this working soon so that I can convince the management team that moving to SQL Server is the way to go. Thanks.
i am transfering an Oracle 10g database to SQL Server 2005. i have 2 pcs one with SQL Server 2005 with SSMA For Oracle Extension 3.1 installed, also with Oracle 10g client configured to connect the Oracle database in another pc. the other pc has Oracle 10g database server installed with SSMA For Oracle 3.1. whenever i try to migrate the data there is an exception which says
"Errors: SQL Server cannot access the source table"
i dont understand why its there. i hav successfully converted the schema and loaded them in SQL Server. can anybody tell me a soltuion asap.
I can connect to my Oracle database and I can connect to my SQL Server database. But the "Convert Schema" button stays disabled. What am I doing wrong? Anyone have experience using this tool?
I'm trying to make the business case to move our business databases to SQL Server 2005 from Oracle 9i. The SQL Server Migration Assistant for Oracle will be absolutely necessary for this to happen. However, I am unable to launch the assistant. It tells me I have an old version of java installed - but I don't. It is a new XP machine and I downloaded and installed j2sdk-1_4_2_12-windows-i586-p.exe which did not help (I rebooted). Why does it think I have an old version and how can I get this assistant working.
I want to migrate data from Oracle Database to SQL Server 2005 by using SSIS Package. Client wants to migrate just data not schema. Schema is already there for SQL Server, generated through script.
I tried to migrate the data by using import-export wizard in SSIS. But, its asking for creating new tables when migrating data.
I want to migrate data in existing tables, without dropping already existed tables or creating new tables.
I have been asked to look at optimising a Data Migration Strategy for one of our clients. I am quite new to Data Migration (I'm actually a system designer!).
The migration is from a legacy Oracle 7.16 Db to a SQL Server 2000 environment.
The legacy Db has some large tables - 30 Million+ rows
Table/column Mapping is 1:1
At present we are using DTS to import into the SQL environment.
My question is: Is there any way to leverage the Oracle 7.16 export to speed up the migration process?
Has anyone had any experience with the Oracle Migration Workbench? or using DTS to migrate MS SQL to Oracle? The Migration Workbench seems to work great but it is having parsing issues with some of the syntax in our triggers and procs (roughly 1025 of them). Are there other ways of handling these errors other than manually cleaning them up?
Hi all,I am using the Oracle Workbench for migrating my DB currently on SqlServer 2000 to Oracle 9i. During the migration the following happensSELECT @tBaseTable = tBaseTable, @tDBColumnName = tDBColumnNameFROM tblColumnMain WITH (NOLOCK) left join tblCustomField WITH(NOLOCK) on aColumnID = nColumnIDWHERE aColumnID = @nPropertyIDgets converted toSELECT tBaseTable, tDBColumnNameINTOSPROC_PROPDATA.tBaseTable, SPROC_PROPDATA.tDBColumnName, FROMsa.tblColumnMain, sa.tblCustomFieldWHERE (aColumnID = nColumnID) AND (aColumnID =SPROC_PROPDATA.nPropertyID_);and gives the warning that complex outer joins maynot be reliablyconvertedOn the other hand the following codeselect @keyid = a.keyID, @pubs=b.pubs fromssd1 a left outer join ssd2 b on a.l_name = b.l_namewhere b.l_name = @namemigrates perfectly to Oracle asSELECT a.keyID, b.pubsINTO SPROC_JOINTEST8.keyid, SPROC_JOINTEST8.pubsFROM ssdash.ssd1 a, ssdash.ssd2 bWHERE (a.l_name = b.l_name(+)) AND(b.l_name = SPROC_JOINTEST8.name);with the same warning ...Could anyone enlighten me as to what exactly is the difference betweenthese 2 above cases.Also the migration bench seems to be removing nolocks and such stuff allaround. Any workaround for this is also needed.ssDash--Posted via http://dbforums.com
We are going away from a 2003 Windows Server OS with SQL Server 2008 R2 to a 2012 Windows Server with 2012 SQL Server. Both the distributor and subscriber resides on 2003 Windows Server and the focus will be to migrate those databases to the 2012 SQL Server.
 We would also like to avoid sending down a new snapshot due to logic in the replication process (major headache to clean up data).  what's the best approach in moving the distributor and subscriber databases without having to run a snapshot? Â
In theory and needs testing:
1. Work with business users to get downtime
2. Stop sql apply so no new changes are going to the Oracle publisher database
3. Remove subscription, publication and distributor from current replication
4. Oracle DBA to clear out replication related objects - fresh clean slate
5. Use log shipping to apply last t-log and restore db with Keep_Replication
6. Set up new distribution, publication (keep existing object unchanged), and subscriber (without initialization) Will this work?
I am doing migration from oracle11g to SQL server2012. Facing error while data migration from Oracle rowid dat typeto SQL uniqueidentifier using SSMA6.0
Errors: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type uniqueidentifier of the specified target column.
OK I migrated a DTS package from MS SQL 2000 to MS SQL 2005 64-bit SSIS. OK so I fixed a problem with a Double Global Variable... Now I am stuck at a connection to Oracle and it returning data... Here is the error message:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "Remedy_Count": "Unsupported data type on result set binding 0.".
My SQL Statement is this:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1 FROM DB.MYTABLE
When I run it from the Query Builder it returned this:
EXPR1 = 2983
Here are some details from the General Page on the Execute SQL Task
ResultSet - Single row ConnectionType - OLE DB Connection - Oracle Provider for OLE DB SQLSourceType - Direct input BypassPrepare - True
In the Result Set I have The following:
Result Name - Variable Name 0 - Remedy_Count
So... what can I do to fix this. I have the Remedy_Count set as a:
EvaluateAsExpression - False Value - 2414 ValueType - Double
I have tried setting the ValueType to Object and other things... Same error... I read some where about how SSIS has issues when Oracle returns a Numeric type data. Can someone help me with this? Anything you all can tell me would be great.
we recently got a scenario that we need to get the data from oracle tables which is installed on third party servers. we have sqlserver installed on ourservers. so they have created a DBLINK in oracle server to our sqlserver and published the DBLINK name.
what are the next steps that i need to follow on my sqlserver in order to access the oracle tables ?

I have the OraOLEDB.Oracle provider installed to the (C:oraclexe) directory.
I am having problems querying from linked oracle server. When i setup oracle as a linked server and purposely enter an incorrect password the query i run tells me i have an incorrect password. So it at least knows that. when i set the correct password and run a query I get this error:
(i replaced the real server name with "someServer".)

The OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "SomeServer" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.

Soon I shall have to migrate 2 medium sized databases from SQL server 7 to 2005. Any words of wisdom, “how to�, “do and don’t� would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the details: SQL 7.0 SP4, on Win2000 SQL 2005SP1,on Win2003
Sql 2005 needs to be installed on a new server (Win 2003), which will also be used as a web server (IIS6). I was thinking to go with a clean install for sql 2005 first, and after that to migrate the databases.
When i tried to migrate to SQL Server 2005, it is working fine in the SQL Server 2005 installed in Windows 2003 Server. System tables(syscolumns, sysobjects etc)are created in "Database->Tables->SystemTable".
But when i tried to run in SQL Server 2005 installed in Windows XP, I'm facing the following problems.
1."The object 'CK_SavedSear_LastL_4B422AD5' is dependent on column'LastLoadedTime'
"ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN LastLoadedTime failed because one or more objects access this column"
2.Moreover none of the tables had been created in "Database->Tables->SystemTable".
In both XP and 2003 Server, While installing, i have choosen same options.
Please anybody could help me to resolve this issue.
I'm migrating 15 user databases from one server to another. The current production server is Windows 2000 Server SP4 and SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition SP4. The new production server is Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP4. The new server does not have the same directory structure as the current server.
I plan to detach the database, move the .mdb and .ldb files to the new server and then attach the database again. I'm not sure what to do with the master and msdb databases. Do I need to bring over the master? I know I need the msdb for all the job information. Since these are system databases, do I need to follow a different process? I want to get all these databases over to the new server so I can begin some parallel testing prior to the final cutover.
For anyone that has gone through this process, is there anything that I need to pay special attention to? Any issues moving from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 or SQL Server 2000 Standard to SQL Server Enterprise Edition?

Scenario Recently moved a SQL2000 database to SQL2005. Collation on SQL 2000 database server was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS Colaltion on SQL 2005 database server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
After restoring the SQL 2000 database on SQL 2005 we observed that the database collation was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We have altered the database collation to Latin1_General_CI_AS. We understand this will work for all new objects created on the database but existing objects (prior to the collation change) will continue to have the 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS' collation.
What is the best method to change the collation of the older columns to 'Latin1_General_CI_AS' - 1) Run ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN <colname> <datatype> COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS <nullability> on each varchar/char column
or
2) For each table BCP out data DROP TABLE RECREATE TABLE (taking the new collation Latin1_General_CI_AS) BCP in data
