Hi,
I am transferring data from Sql Server 2000 to Oracle 9i using Heterogenous services(ODBC).
One of the table has 2 billion records.
What is the best startegy to transfer this much data efficiently?
Is the CTAS best option?

regards

ODBC will always be slow. Use Oracle's Transparent Gateway instead.

Depends I guess.

Are you doing this once or is it's something that you want to do on regular basis ?

Since the Transparent Gateway requires a seperate license.

Hi,
I will be doing it once only.
This is historical data (3 months)
I cannot use Transparent gateways as you said that it requires a seperate license.

Have a look at the Oracle Migration Workbench then.(which is free)

Or export the rows to a flatfile, and you use SQL*Loader to load it into Oracle.
