Hi List,

I have a small Access database which needs to be migrated to Oracle. I can use ODBC to convert the data from Access to Oracle. However I encountered the following constraints.

Access's MEMO datatype will be converted to Oracle's LONG. Oracle allows only one column with LONG in each table. How about if I have multiple columns with MEMO in the Access database?
ODBC does not allow me to pre-create the table in Oracle and then export the data. Otherwise it will complain that the table already exists.

Does anybody on the list know if there is any better way or utilities to convert from Access to Oracle?

Thanks,

Michael
