and make sure that if there are any spaces in the table names or column names, replace them with an underscore.

Radhika,

Download the Migration Workbench from
http://technet.oracle.com

BTW, one thing to keep in mind when migrating from Access to Oracle is that the case sensitivity of the object and column names will be preserved so you'll have to enclose them in double quotes to use them once they're in Oracle, which is a royal pain. It can be time consuming, but I recommend converting all the object and column names in Access to all caps, as well as making them conform to Oracle naming rules, before doing the migration. It's been a while since I used the Workbench so I don't know if the latest versions will do this automatically for you.

HTH,
