The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Migrating from Oracle to SQL Server using SSMA (or other tools) over split network

Asked by sjwales in MS SQL Server, Oracle Database

Tags: , ,

I have a requirement to move some Oracle data on one server on one network into a SQL Server on another network.  I will not be able to be connected to both databases at the same time.

I see that Microsoft has a tool called SSMA that converts data between Oracle and SQL Server but I haven't seen anything on their site yet that indicates whether or not this kind of network setup can be handled.

I would need it to do the following:

1. Connect to the network that supports the source Oracle database
2. Connect to Oracle instance to generate the DDL for the tables, indexes, views etc
3. Export the data into some format (text file or some other format) that can be downloaded
4. Disconnect from network #1
5. Connect to the network where the SQL Server is located.
6. Have SSMA take the previously saved datafile and upload it to the SQL Server.

Does SSMA support this ?  I'm hoping it does because of the whole schema conversion that it talks about.

Failing this, is there another way to perform the conversion ?

Can SQL Server take comma delimited exports from Oracle (the columns in this database are VARCHAR2 or NUMBER only) and load them up?

(What I've read so far seems to indicate that if both servers are on the same network then it's relatively painless.  It's the split network thing that I'm not sure about.)
