I dont know a better way to do that. The strategy depends on how complicated the database is. If it is single table, then Oracle can export that to a CSV file which MySQL can import. You simply have to make sure the column types match. If it is more complex, then you need to spend some time translating the relationships from the Oracle schema into a MySQL schema. There is no one to one correspondence here, in spite of the promises of the SQL standards. Once you have done that, you may still be able to use the CSV files, but will need to determine what order to import them and how to restore the relevant indexes.

I think this idea solves it a lot. i have like 4 to 7 tables only and both database has the same schema. So, CSV would be a good idea. I just thinking of a better idea to eliminate manual tasks it involves here. And reading from CSV, that I can manage with phpCodes or using the params in MySQL. READ Local INFILE Bob McConnell
