I am tasked with getting tables and data out of an Oracle DB and recreating them in Centura Sqlbase, and I have no idea how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave G.

There are a few ways to extract data from Oracle, but - to be able to help you better - tell us how should input data set look like on Centura Sqlbase. Is it a CSV file, for example?

Actually it should be in Sql form - with CREATE TABLE, INSERT statements along with the appropriate data. I don't need any constraints exported, keys etc, as this is going to be for a data compare between to comparable databases.

Thanks for the reply,

There's a tool that some Oracle users use; it is called TOAD (trial version can be downloaded at the Quest site).

Select the table you want; on the right side of the Schema Browser is the "Script" tab - use it to get CREATE TABLE statement. Right click on the table name and select "Export data" - it will give you INSERT INTO statements.

This might work if the schema you want to get isn't too large (many tables, many records in them). I guess there must be another tool, even a script that someone clever wrote which will do the whole job for you, but I don't know of it.

Littlefoot,

Vielen Dank for the Toad info. I'll give it a try in the next few weeks and let you know how it went.

Thanks again,
