Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Moving schema from DB2 to Oracle9i
I've got to move the database portion of an application from DB2 to
Oracle9i. I know essentially nothing about DB2; the agency hosting the DB2
database knows nothing about Oracle. There is a contractor I can go to for
information, but I need to minimize the amount of time I use with them. For
the first cut, I simply need to take the DB2 schema and recreate it in an
Oracle schema, and bring the existing data over. It isn't an emormous
amount of data - probably less than 1 GB. Can I create a dblink to the DB2
database and move objects that way? Would I have to use heteregenous
services to accomplish that? What about third-party tools for this? And
are there objects within the DB2 world that either don't have a
corresponding object type in Oracle, or don't exactly correspond?
Thanks,
Harry Boswell
