RE: getting data from an access MDB file into Oracle

I think there is a way of getting Access to actually push the data up to an Oracle database via ODBC. Something to do with creating a TransferDatabase macro that takes each table and exports it directly to the Oracle database.

Never tested it mind, so not sure if it works how Micro$lop says it should.. But its there in the help file if you take a look..

The other direction is possible. You can install ODBC and then link the oracle tables into the access db. But how you could dig Access to put it's data into oracle with simple methods...
