Er ... No.

COBOL is a programming language. Oracle is a relational database manager.

The data used in a COBOL program can be stored in a variety of ways. It's even possilbe to have a COBOL program using data from an Oracle database.

I'm not aware that Designer can translate COBOL file definitions into entities; however, if you know COBOL and Oracle it should be fairly straightforward.

Hi,

Is there a tool available to move data from COBOL to ORACLE directly? One way to do is get COBOL data on a flat file and then use SQL*Loader to insert into ORACLE tables.

The second question is did anyone use DESIGNER to connect to COBOL to create an ERD and then transform into ORACLE tabels script?

Thanks
Muqthar Ahmed
DBA
