RE: Data Retrieval Tool
Hello Dennis We bought PlSqlDeveloper. The tool show you a list of the tables. Right click on a table and you get a menu that let you (among other things) query and update the data. If I remember correctly it cost 750$ for 10 user license. Go to http://www.allroundautomations.com .

RE: Data Retrieval Tool
One option is to look into Oracle's Migration Workbench. It's a free download from Technet (technet.oracle.com). It can take an existing Access datrabase, create the same tables in an Oracle schema, move the data to the Oracle tables, and so on. I've used it and it works well. One option it offers that I haven't used is to modify existing Access forms to use the new Oracle tables instead of the old Access database. I assume via ODBC. So in theory, your users could keep using their existing Access forms to update the Oracle data while you work on moving them to a different front end.

Re: Data Retrieval Tool
and to move the tables from access you could use the Migration workbench that you can get from OTN /torben holm Peter Gram wrote: Dennis Move the tables into Oracle and let the users use Access via odbc ;-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Good day all, I have been asked the following question a couple of time by our database users - They have a bunch of small Access databases that they want to port into Oracle.
