Hi,
I am converting a schema from oracle to sql server 2005 using Sql Server Migration Assistant but for the conversion of each and every table it is asking me to connect to oracle. How can i convert this schema without again and again specifying the connection?
Thanks in advance,
Aru
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I attempted to use SSMA to migrate a 2000 file format .mdb into SQL Server Express (and, as I've just purchased VS2005 Pro, into SQL Server Developer Edition).
The file is actually a backend, so nothing to migrate other than tables.
After several runs during which I received (and fixed up) some errors, the process runs smoothly with no errors or warnings, until it comes to the last step; migrating the data itself.
Data migration into 'parent' tables works fine. However, wherever I have data in a table with a foreign key relationship to any of the aforementioned 'parent' tables, it refuses to migrate it. The text of the error message will be very smiliar to the following (from the log):
[Datamigrator: Error] [464/7] [2007-09-23 14:18:54]: Exception: The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "Branch$CompanyBranch". The conflict occurred in database "DPMTest", table "dbo.Company", column 'CompanyID'.
There is nothing wrong, so far as I can determine, with the relationships involved.
I can insert data into the tables using any of the following methods:
1. Directly in Access, in the source backend.
2. Using the original Access frontend application, attached to the source backend.
3. Using VB.Net forms I am developing, in the 'upsized' database.
4. Directly in the Management Studio, in the 'upsized' database.
None of these four methods complains in the least about the relationships which SSMA balks at.
I would be grateful for any ideas....thanks.
Hi all,
I downloaded the Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access 4 weeks ago. Today, I tried this program for the first time. I added one Database with 3 Access 2003 Tables to the Access Metadata Explorer. I right clicked Databaes on the Access Metadata pane and did not see the "Convert Schema" highlighted!!!??? What is wrong with the program? How can I make it highlighted? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

I am trying to migrate an Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005 and am having various problems:
1. On one table, the migration gives the following on an autonumber field:
A2SS0023: SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access Warning Message: Default value '0' added to target column (1), followed later on by
A2SS0028: Auto-increment attribute of the column 'MSEQ' was not converted to Identity because the column has a default value.
This table has about 80,000 records.
2. If I include another table in the migration, this one with 3.4 million records (hence our need to upgrade to SQL server 2005), I am getting a timeout error, even when I try to migrate the table by itself. I have verified that all timeout options are set to zero (unlimited time).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have SQL 2000 and installed SQL 2005 Express. Had done some test migrations of
Access 2003 to SQL2000 using the tool for that. Upgraded that migration assistant to
SQL 2005 (my mistake) and now I have 2 instances of SQL2005 running (according to
surface area configuration) and even the server mgr for SQL2000 can see those instances..
but SSMA 2005 refuses to see them.. My migration test project is dead in the water..
Can I get a copy of SSMA for SQL2000 back?..Anybody?..
Thanks..
I've installed SQL 2005 Express Addition which created a default database using Windows Authentication -- MachineName/SQLEXPRES. I want to convert some access databases to sql server in the migration assistant, however, when I try to connect the migration assistant to the default database I can't find the database in the drop down box wizard? I'm perplexed? Please shed some light or point me to some articles that will help. Thanks.

I am currently with sql 2k5 and using web assistant to generate some HTML files and email the same automatically to a set of users.
these html files that are generated are processed via a JOB in sql server.
I am in process of replacing of the web assistant procedures.
Is this possible to make this with XQuery of SQL Server 2K5 and convert it into HTML files with Stored Procedure.
Is there any other possible way to do it?
I used SQL Server's web assistant wizard to create a
web assistant job. In this job I chosed "When SQL
Server Data Changes" for schedule options. Late, I
don't want this job and by right click web assistant
job I deleted this job.
However, I have a stored procedure which use the same
table with the above deleted web assistant job. Normally,
the stored procedure runs only 1 minute. Today it runs
more than 5 minute and then failed. Here is the error
messages:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++
Server: Msg 16882, Level 11, State 1, Line 0
SQL Web Assistant: Web task not found. Verify the name
of the task for possible errors.

Please somebody can tell me how can I solve this problem
(or totally delete the above web assistant job).
Thanks.

Hello All,
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.
Thank you in advance,

Hi all,
I have script written in SQL Server 2000.
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.
Thanks and Regards,

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?
Any assistance would be GREAT!!!

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
3) Other methods?
Thanks in advance
