Govindan,

Yes, we provide migration facilities to our clients that allow them to = move their data freely between Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server and DB2. I'd = say we've performed a few thousand migrations like these over the years. =  Once you understand the basic bulk data movement / ETL tools = (SQL*Loader, bcp, LOAD), it's easy to programmatically handle things = like quotes, ascii control characters, etc. Definitely a case of effort = up front paying off later.

Ciao
Fuzzy
