Oracle Migration Workbench and SQL Server
Two preliminary steps that
must be completed prior to starting the Migration Workbench utility are
creating a new ODBC data source and installing the executable JAR file for SQL
Server 2000.
If you are using Windows XP
(and this is probably true for Windows 2000 as well), the version of the DLL
file on your PC will be new enough (it must be version 3.70.06.23 or higher).
You can find the DLL file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. Right-click the file and
select the Version tab, then look at the Product Version information.
Follow the instructions in
Chapter 3 of the User's Guide (the "Before Migrating From Microsoft SQL
Server" section) to create a new data source. The series of screen shots
that follow are what you will see in a step-by-step order. Access the ODBC Data
Source Administrator via Administrative Tools (from the Control Panel or
Start>Programs if that is enabled on your PC). Click Add while in the User
DSN tab view to start the addition process.
Scroll down the list until
you see SQL Server. Highlight it and click Finish.
Complete the fields as shown
below (assuming you want to use the Northwind database; you can use pubs or
whatever else you want).
My user "Steve" is
set up to use OS authentication.
Click Next and select the
Northwind database.
Accept the default settings
as shown and click Finish.
Review the setup information
and test connecting to the data source if desired.
I opted to test and the test
completed successfully.
