Is there any way of copying a database from oracle to sqlserver 2005? Thanks
You can migrate from Oracle to SQL Server with Microsoft's SQL Server Migration Assistant. It is available both to SQL Server 2005 and 2008.
If you have lots of (complicated) stored procedures and such, the migration might get a bit tedious. I have only experience with databases with simple procedures and could just rewrite them and do the data copy to empty tables in SQL Server with the import functionality using Oracle connector (usable from SQL Server if you have installed Oracle client tools to the SQL Server machine). This way I didn't even need to use the Migration Assistant tool.

We have databases like oracle, sql server, postgres and looking to synch the data like full/delta load into one database. Can you suggest some tool to do this.
Yes, SSMA can do that.
Migration Sources allowed are:
SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access
SQL Server Migration Assistant for DB2
SQL Server Migration Assistant for MySQL
SQL Server Migration Assistant for Oracle
SQL Server Migration Assistant for SAP ASE
But the destination will always be SQL Server.
Once your databases are all SQL Server I suggest you to merge them all together dividing them by schema.
Is a very primitive way to work but is the only I know.
I have an SQL Server installed on a local Windows 10 machine - I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to interact with it.
I also have a DB2 database hosted on an IBM i machine and I've created a Linked Server in SQL Server Management Studio to represent it. I can connect to the Linked Server and can query/pull data from it successfully.
I'm trying to copy particular tables from the Linked Server and insert them into a Database/Schema in the SQL Server - I can do this successfully but unfortunately, it appears that in the process of copying the table over, none of the constraints (particularly in my case, the key constraints) are maintained.
Is there a simple way to copy over tables from a Linked Server to SQL Server (in SQL Server Management Studio) while maintaining key constraints?
The following query is an example of what I'm using to copy the tables over (one-by-one):
SELECT *
INTO SQLSCHEMA.SQLTABLE
FROM LINKSERVER.LINKDATABASE.LINKSCHEMA.LINKTABLE
The easiest way is to use proper tool for it like SSMA:
Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a tool designed to automate database migration to SQL Server from Microsoft Access, DB2, MySQL, Oracle, and SAP ASE.
Migrating DB2 Databases to SQL Server (DB2ToSQL)
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) for DB2 is a comprehensive environment that helps you quickly migrate DB2 databases to SQL Server or Azure SQL DB. By using SSMA for DB2, you can review database objects and data, assess databases for migration, migrate database objects to SQL Server or Azure SQL DB, and then migrate data to SQL Server or Azure SQL DB. Note that you cannot migrate SYS and SYSTEM DB2 schemas.
I'm trying to migrate a SQL Server 2012 database backup file, which I wanted to migrate to Oracle 12c. I tried to use SQL Developer tool for migration using this reference:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
The problem is in SQL Developer tool, I didn't see any option where I can generate database capture script for SQL Server 2012, because there is no option which is showing up there.
I'm open for other suggestions as well. the SQL Server is installed on my same system, where I've installed Oracle 12c, so even if there is way by which we can directly connect with SQL Server on my local system.
Hello for migration from SQL SERVER to Oracle. There are many articles are available on web. You can google it. For as one reference use this article and try for migration of data.
I'm asking for the proper way, in SQL Server's T-SQL (I think that's what it is) code or using another language, to import data from a Microsoft Access MDB Database into a new SQL Server Database.
Now, typically I would just import it in. The problem is I'm writing a .SQL script (I could use another technology if needed) to do all this leg work as this will need to be done fairly regularly. Likely at least once a week, for about 5 months in the year.
To digress a tad, I had wanted to implement a single database and distinguish separate source database using something like a DatabaseID field, but the powers that be overthrew me there.
I was previously using SQL Server Management Studio 2012 with SQL Server 2008 running the T-SQL (on a production machine) that worked fine. I've now migrated to a local SQL Server Management Studio 2012 with SQL Server 2012 (for development) and the code that used to work doesn't anymore.
This code is what used to work: SELECT * INTO [dbo].[Controls] FROM OpenDataSource('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source=C:\Show.mdb; Jet OLEDB:Database Password=BobSaget')...[Control] The password has been obfuscated for security ...
That's likely a sloppy solution. What's the ideal way?
Thanks in advance!
I would recommend using Microsoft's SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access.
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool from Microsoft that simplifies database migration process from Access to SQL Server. SSMA for Access automates conversion of Microsoft Access database objects to SQL Server database objects, loads the objects into SQL Server, and then migrates data from Microsoft Access to SQL Server.
SSMA for Access v5.2 is designed to support migration from Microsoft Access 97 and higher to all editions of SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2012, and SQL Azure.
You can find it here.
You may need to fix the structure after the migration as it tends to over exaggerate many of the data types.
Have you checked your DCOM security on MSDAINITIALIZE?
I had this problem when moving to a local instance of SSMS 2012.

I recently did a Oracle to SQL Server 2008 R2 Migration. The PL/SQL stored procedures were converted to T/SQL by SSMA. The converted T/SQL has many references to the sysdb database, for instance sysdb.ssma_oracle.db_check_init_package
I then exported the SQL Server 2008 R2 database, and imported it to SQL Server 2012. However I forgot to copy the sysdb database. What is the easiest way of creating the sysdb database?
Thank you!
Just install SSMA for Oracle 5.2 Extension Pack.exe (downloadable from Microsoft) on the computer with the SQL Server database (tell it to ignore the fact that Oracle is not installed on the computer) and it will create the sysdb database for you, and also the Extended Stored Procedures that it needs.
