SQL Server to Oracle DBRichard:

Yes. The way I've done it in the past is to generate tilde (~) delimited flat files and then load the data into Oracle via SQL*Loader. You have to do a mapping first before using SQL*Loader. Then you have to write scripts for each table you are loading. I recommend the O'Reilly book Oracle SQL*Loader, The Definitive Guide. This is a process that can take time especially if the Oracle application needs data that the old legacy DB doesn't provide.

Anyone know of an easy way to grab data from tables in an SQL Server DB and insert into tables in an Oracle DB?

Thanks.
