Title: SQL Server to Oracle DB

Richard:   Yes.  The way I've done it in the past is to generate tilde (~) delimited flat files and then load the data into Oracle via SQL*Loader.  You have to do a mapping first before using SQL*Loader. Then you have to write scripts for each table you are loading.  I recommend the O'Reilly book Oracle SQL*Loader, The Definitive Guide.  This is a process that can take time especially if the Oracle application needs data that the old legacy DB doesn't provide.   My $0.02 worth, Ken Janusz, CPIM ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Huntley To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 9:03 AM Subject: SQL Server to Oracle DB Anyone know of an easy way to grab data from tables in an SQL Server DB and insert into tables in an Oracle DB?
