Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Import from Oracle into SQL*Server Slightly off Topic...
Are you using the MSDTC tool? If so what problems are you specifically
having? I have just managed to create a test over here and ran without
problems.. It creates the table with a DECIMAL datatype...
Oracle 8.1.6 --> SQLServer 7.0 Win2K

Hi All,
Unloading to a flat file etc.. is an option that I don't mind using but the SQL*Server people here do not know much about importing stuff into SQL*Server and untill I have kids to repair databases for I do not really feel the urgency to waste my time on learning either. SQL*Server comes with a tool that that can do the import directly from Oracle through ODBC (Looks simple enough). It seems to not like the "NUMBER" datatype with precisions e.g. NUMBER(10) or NUMBER(8,2).
If I delete the precision it seems to be a lot happier. it's just that you'll have to manually define the precision in the SQL*Server "database" on import.
Anybody seen this and knows a way around it.

Please respond

Jack,
Have you tried exporting the data to an ASCII, and then importing it into SQLServer with BCP? You have to create the table in SQLServer first of all, so this will give you a chance to try and set the data types correctly.
BCP is extremely quick, but I think that it doesn't log the inserts. Also
depending on the index structures, and size of the import file, you may
also
neeed to rebild your indexes again.

Hi All,
We have a bunch of people here (Sponsored by toys'r us no doubt) that are trying to get data from Oracle into SQL*Server. I know this is off topic for this list but hey no harm in trying.
The import utility that comes with SQL*Server (uses ODBC) has problems
importing quite a few tables.
I have the feeling that it has something to do with the number field with
precision.
Anybody here with experience with this matter???
Jack
