RE: Importing Access tables in Oracle

Ensure all table names and column names in Access are in uppercase. If not they will be created in your Oracle data dictionary as lower case which is bad. To drop the tables you will need to do

drop table "tblFoo";

as opposed to the normal

drop table foo

or

drop table FOO

not the use of the "" to get Oracle to see the table.

Dear all,

I have a lot of tables built in MS Access. Recently, I am trying to export the database from MS Access to Oracle 8i.From Access, I could export the tables to Oracle through Oracle ODBC driver. The good thing is that this process is relatively fast as Table struture is created automatically and I can actually see these tables and data in Toad. But if I try to execute any SQL, Oracle responds ORA-00942: table or view does not exist. I cannot figure out what is happenning. I welcome any suggestion (including not exporting through ODBC driver)
