Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Moving from Access to oracle 8.0
Unless the migration utility has been significantly improved (I don't
remember which version I used but it was less than a year ago) I would
suggest redoing the database, with one this small it shouldn't be too
difficult. The migration utility does not give you the option to choose
tablespaces and if it tries to build a table with two longs obviously it
fails. I am not sure how it handles triggers either. I was not impressed
with it.
