QUESTION POSED ON: 18 July 2007
I'm working on data migration from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle on Linux (Red Hat Enterprise). My question is should I use SQL*Loader and Oracle Workbench or pass through SQL Server 2005 in order to reach my aim or is there any easier tool to use?

>
Personally, I've never been comfortable with tools like the Oracle Migration Workbench for my migrations from one RDBMS platform to another. Every time I've used them, I have had to fix the many problems the tool introduced. Plus there is no tool that I know of which does a decent job of migrating T-SQL stored procedures, triggers, etc. to Oracle's PL/SQL. So I have always performed these types of migrations more manually. I do often use SQL Server's Data Transformation Services (DTS) through ODBC to move the data from SQL Server to Oracle. But I use this tool after I have already created my tables and indexes. Then I re-create my views, procedures, triggers and other database objects.
