Conversion of Database from Oracle to MSSQL

Posted: Jun 15, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

It is the process of converting data from one format to another or one place to another. The data is being transmitted virtually. There should be a person or system behind the conversion of data, or to place data. Because data is not at all workable on its own, so it definitely needs someone to do this.

Usually the process is applied by the companies or firms who are upgrading their system or changing it. Some large firms and companies do it on regular intervals. Their system behind the conversion of database is usually software based. And also there are some phases of this whole process

1)      Analysis
2)      Extraction and Transformation
3)      Validation and Repair
4)      Usage of the data in new or upgraded system

It is obvious that companies upgrade their system at some point of time. Usually they do it to match the requirement of the technology or methods that are being used around them. To adopt the changes of technologies, database conversion is usually being done. Some people do it to match their requirements. For the conversion of database from oracle to mssql you will need any third-party software or script. These software or scripts are easily available in market.


With the help of the software, you can start converting the Oracle files to MSSQL files. But keep in mind that there are some steps to follow before, during and after the conversion. One more thing to keep in mind is that you should check that the data stays in good shape after the conversion. Without that, your conversion process will go in vain and all your precious data will be destroyed. So be careful while doing this.

To check the ability of the software that is being used in the conversion of the database, first of all, you should check the features of that software. You should see that it matches the latest technology. You should check that it fully allows you to get what you want from it or not.

Also you should check that how friendly the software is with your Oracle Database. Do not attempt to do these conversions again and again within the short span of time. Keep in mind that these are the automated software, which helps you do this conversion.

The process may consist of these steps: -

1)      Install the software
2)      Analyze what database you are going to convert
3)      Start focusing that what you will get after converting (keep in mind that you should have a working database after conversion)
4)      Do not attempt anything on your own.
5)      Automated software will do the conversion on its own; you just have to set parameters.

There are some limitations that you could face while using these database migration software: (Some of the following terms will only be understandable by database administrator)

1)      It may not be converting the stored procedures.
2)      May not convert user defined column names?
