Hello friends,
I am working for a project. At my college I used to work with oracle. Now as requirement changes I have to change my database to SQL Server.
Is there any simple way one can suggest me?
Does anyone know how to import data from an Oracle view (on Unix machine) to the tables in NT/SQL server 7.0? At least point me to the right docoment resource, if available. Thanks a lot.

I am getting this error when connecting to Oracle db. I tried using Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle it give me error and tells me the error could not be retrieved from Oracle. When I try the Native OLDDB provider for Oracle I get
Warning at {0F67F2FA-E3F8-4F44-93EC-47D513A34FD4} [Orcale Database WPHP2 [1]]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
Error at Copy DSS_SJV_Volume_History [DTS.Pipeline]: The "output column "COMP_UNIQUE_ID" (2007)" has a precision that is not valid. The precision must be between 1 and 38.
What do I do !!!!!!!!!!

Hi All,
I have become frustrated and I am not finding the answers I expect.
Here's the gist, we support both Oracle and SQL for our product and we would like to migrate our Clients who are willing/requesting to go from Oracle to SQL. Seems easy enough.
So, I create a Database in SQL 2005, right click and select "Import Data", Source is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle and I setup my connection. so far so good.
I create my Destination for SQL Native Client to the Database that I plan on importing into. Still good
Next, I select "Copy data from one or more tables or views". I move on to the next screen and select all of the Objects from a Schema. These are Tables that only relate to our application or in other words, nothing Oracle System wise.
When I get to the end it progresses to about 20% and then throws this error about 300 or so times:
Could not connect source component.
Warning 0x80202066: Source - AM_ALERTS [1]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
So, I'm thinking "Alright, we can search on this error and I'm sure there's an easy fix." I do some checking and indeed find out that there is a property setting called "AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage" in the OLEDB Data Source Properties. Great! I go back and look at the connection in the Import and .... there's nothing with that property!
Back to the drawing board. I Create a new SSIS package and figure out quickly that the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage is in there. I can transfter information from the Oracle Source Table to the SQL Server 2005 Destination Table, but it appears to be a one to one thing. Programming this, if I get it to work at all, will take me about 150 hours or so.
This make perfect sense if all you are doing is copying a few columns or maybe one or two objects, but I am talking about 600 + objects with upwards of 2 million rows of data in each!!
This generates 2 questions:
1. If the Import Data Wizard cannot handle this operation on the fly, then why can't the AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage property be shown as part of the connection
2. How do I create and SSIS Package that will copy all of the data from Oracle to SQL Server? The source tables have been created and have the same Schema and Object Names as the Source. I don't want to create a Data Flow Task 600 times.
Help!!!
I am using Import and Export wizard and seeing a very weird behaviour.
I am able to choose 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oralce' and provide server name, username/ password. The test connection results in a success. However when I try to move to next window/page by clicking next I get invalid oracle error ora-01017 - invalid username/ password.
what is going on here?
I have a column in an Oracle source system with data type NUMBER(38,2). The value "-0.01" is causing problems when trying to import into a SSIS data-flow.
The only way I can import this into my data-flow is by using a Datareader connection manager using the ODBC Data Provider. My DSN is using the Oracle ODBC driver.
If I try and use the "Native OLE DBMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" I get an error: "The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow"
Judging by this post: http://microsoftdw.blogspot.com/2005/11/final-storyhow-to-get-data-out-of.html there aren't really any other combinations to try that will bring my data in as I want it.
I don't want to use ODBC though as:
Its an old technology
Its slow
I have to deploy an additional DSN.
Can anyone tell me why the other options don't work? Why does Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle have a problem with "-0.01"?

We will need to routinely import only changed data from an Oracle data base into a SQL database.
So we need an agent that will
1) Compare data in both databases (From disparate tables)
2) Import only that which is changes or new.
I am new to SQL server administration and am looking for a best practice method that we can be run on a weekly basis.
I am open to using third party software solutions, but would prefer a native MS SQL 2000 solution.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
I'm using - Destination - Oracle driver - oraOLEDB.Oracle.1 (native ole dboracle provider for ole db)
Source - SQL driver - microsoft ole db prover for sql server. I want to import data from sql server to oracle. Challenge is, I have 1 million records on oracle. I have 100 records on sql server (these 100 records count will change daily). So, I thought of using 'lookup' task looking taking record from ms sql and fetch corresponding record from oracle. But when I use lookup, all records from oracle are loading into cache, which is taking approx 3 hrs.
Hi, I've a question about importing Oracle data and some fields are null. I get an error 'Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type'. When i look in preview query result, via OLE db Source editor > Preview, this field contains '<value too big to display>'.
What do i do wrong? Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance

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 ?
Im getting the following error when I try to export from Oracle 9i and import into SQL Server 2005 using Oracle and SQL OLE DB Provider's respectively.
Cannot retrieve the column code page infor from the OLE DB Provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property value will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
I know there is a way to change the property settings for the OLE DB Provider in the Data flow section of the development studio BUT ...
1) Is there a way to change this outside of the development studio?
2) I can't create the package to setup in the studio because even when I uncheck execute immediately and check save package, it still fails and never creates anything.
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
I do not know if it can be done:
how to import an Oracle dump file into SQL server ?
That dump file contains the content of a table, excported from Oracle.
Is there a way or another to import it to SQLServer 2000 ?
Thanks
Hi,
Please do anyone know a VB 2005 code to export and import SQL server table to Oracle. Thanks.
A view named "Viw_Labour_Cost_By_Service_Order_No" has been created and can be run successfully on the server.

However, when I run the wizard on the server, it gives me the following error message and stop on the step Setting Source Connection

i am using sql server express edition.
i need to import (or make copies) on a weekly/daily basis, of several oracle tables into a new adp database.
what is the fastest option? some of these tables hold over 1m records.
so ideally i would like to schedule a refresh or update job outside busy hours.
I have heard of "linked servers" and "dts", but would like some experts advice before starting looking into this.
many thanks

Hi All,
I'm trying to import from Oracle Rdb database into SQL server 2005 via ODBC without much success.
I've installed the correct Oracle Rdb driver and verified it all works ok by importing in to Access.
Using the import wizard within SQL mgt studio and the following connection strings I get a password error
Dsn=XRS;Driver={Oracle RDB Driver};sid=system
TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
------------------------------
The operation could not be completed.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
ERROR [HY000] [Oracle][ODBC][Rdb]%SQLSRV-F-GETACCINF, Oracle SQL/Services authorization failed
ERROR [HY000] [Oracle][ODBC][Rdb]%SQLSRV-F-GETACCINF, Oracle SQL/Services authorization failed
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
I know the username/password combination to be correct.
Is SSIS the way to go. I've had a quick look at this and setup the ODBC connection but the column
mappings box reports the following...
error at data flow task [datareader source[1]; cannot aquire a managed connection
from the run-time connection manager.
Anyone point me towards any examples of reading in data via ODBC and storing in a SQL server database.
Should point out that the source is not Oracle RDBMS (7,8 or 9) but Oracle Rdb which is a
completely seperate product.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I recently encountered what will appear to me as a very strange problem with my packages involving data import from an Oracle 10g database. The packages are simple data imports which select and insert data from Oracle to SQLServer 2005 tables.
Till recently, the packages ran without any problems but a day ago, these packages starts to fail when nothing was changed in them. They will run for about 8 minutes, at which approximately 400,000 records will be selected and processed. After that these packages will fail. The failure rate is inconsistent in the sense that some of these packages will fail while some will pass, depending on the 'mood' of SSIS.
These packages are using Oracle's supplied OLE DB drivers and have been running well since day 1. Should I be concerned with Oracle terminating connection after 'x' minutes something like that?
I'm absolutely puzzled with these behavior and will appreciate it if someone can point me to the right direction. This server is a 64 bit server and SQL Server is installed as 64 bit as well.
Thanks in advance!

Looking for a faster method of moving data from SQL to Oracle.
I'm attempting to push a sql table into an oracle table (sql server 2000 oracle 7, 8, and 9). I have no problem doing this with either 'Oracle Provider for OLE DB' or the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle'. None of my data is being transformed so its a straight import. With the hardware I'm using it takes nearly 3 seconds to import 1000 rows. While this isn't too bad, I need to import upwards of 4 million rows and this results in unacceptable time results.
I do have an oracle script that imports the csv files of the tables, but I'm looking for an all inclusive sql solution.
Does anyone know of another method in SQL that I can use to push the data faster?
Now this is the first time i have tried this with SQL 05 I am trying to Import data from an Oracle DB. I have the connection info:
Xtx20xxx = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =urlpart1.part2.part3.com)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = Xtx20xxx ))
)
I used the Microsoft OLEDB provider for oracle from the dropdown,
The username and password I have also. I tried to enter in the Xtx20xxx as the server name, clicked "Properties"
put in the username and password I can given and clicked "Test Connection". No matter what I get the infamous ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name error message. I am sure I am missing something obvious here but I have absolutely no clue and all the googling in the world has not given me any help. I do have the Oracle 10g client tools installed on this workstation (running Windows XP Prof SP2 and SQL 2005 STD).
I need to periodically import a (HUGE) table of data from an external data source (not SQL Server) into SQL Server, with the following scenarios:
Some of the records in the external data source may not exist in SQL.Some of the records in the external data source may have a different value at different imports, but this records are identified univocally by the same primary key in the external datasource and in SQL Server.Some of the records in the external data source may be the same in SQL.
Due to the massive volume of the import, I would like to import only the records which are different from what I have in SQL Server (cases 1 and 2 above). In fact case 2 is the most critical.
I thought of making a query with a left outer join between the data in the external data source table (SOURCE) and the data in the SQL Server table (DESTIN). The join is done on the respective primary keys (composed keys of up to 10 columns) and one of the WHERE conditions will be that the value in SOURCE is different from the value in DESTIN.
The result of this query would be exactly what I need to import.
How to do this in SSIS??? I couldn't figure out how to join tables in different data sources yet.
In fact I cannot write a stored procedure to do that, since one of the sources is in a datasources not SQL Server.
I have seen the Lookup transformation in this article http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but this is not exacltly what I want to do.
Another possibility is to use the merge join, but due to the sorting I believe its performances would be terrible!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Hi all,
It looks like these options are only available in the SQL Server Management Studio? I installed SQL Server Management Express Studio and I can't even find the DTSWizard.exe on my machine.
Can you please help how I can import data from excel or where can I download the SQL Server Management Studio?
Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

I have one column in SQL Server 2005 of data type VARCHAR(4000).
I have imported sql Server 2005 database data into one mdb file.After importing a data into the mdb file, above column
data type converted into the memo type in the Access database.
now when I am trying to import a data from this MS Access File(db1.mdb) into the another SQL Server 2005 database, got the error of Unicode Converting a memo data type conversion in Export/Import data wizard.
Could you please let me know what is the reason?
I know that memo data type does not supported into the SQl Server 2005.
I am with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2.
Please help me to understans this issue correctly?
Hi,
I am running SQL Server 2005 and have built a simple SSIS package to import data from an oracle database to my SQL Server 2005 database. When I run it in SSIS, it works and it imports just fine. When I schedule it, it gives me problems. Help!
It might be a problem with Oracle Provider client I installed. Is there a client version I can download and install? the one I downloaded from oracle doesn't work. I bet i did something wrong though.

Hi,
Which is the best way to transfer data from SQL server into Oracle?.
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi
I have an ORACLE server say "A". I have a SQL Server named "B". In SQL Server I have a table named "test" who contains only one field named "aa" which is "BIT" type field. I want to query this table of "B" from "A" interface through Oracle's DB Link and ODBC dsn for Sql Server. But it gives error. If I changed the data type of field "aa" to "int", then it reads easily. Please suggest.

I created SQL Server package and schedule the job. SQL Server allows us to connected different database for e.g. for oracle using "Oracle Provide for OLD DB" to retrieve our database. A link is create between this database which move the data to SQL Server. I'm sure there is no issues in the link, as I'm using it to retrieve several oracle database which contains both Arabic and English data.
But after Importation it is showing Junk values. Please advise me what step I should take next.

I need to link some data from SQL Server 2005 with Oracle 10 data.One way is to link Oracle server to SQL Server and use ROWSOURCE forretrieving data.What other ways for joing data from both databases exist ?Can I do it from SQLCRL VB - Stored Procedure ? If yes, what objectsshall I use for opening database and running an sql ?
When I tried to import system.data.oracleclient, it was not available. Do I need to install anything for being able to use it ?
Thanks a lot.
I have a coworker who needs to extract data from Oracle into SQL Server 6.5 and Sybase as part of an interface that runs daily. How is the best way to do this?

Hi All,
We are extracting the data from ORACLE databse into SQL Server 2005 database. Both are hosted on different servers.
For this we have created linked server on SQL Server and we using the OPENQUERY to extract the data. Its taking too much time to extract the data.
Is there any other alternate thing for OPENQUERY clause.
Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance.
