Hi All,

We're currently in the process of moving a Solaris/Oracle (11g) based system to 
a Windows/MSSQL (2012) environment. While using Migrator should absolutely 
work, the fastest way would be to just import the Oracle DB into the new MSSQL 
DB and we'd prefer that. The problem here is, that there are two providers in 
MSSQL to import data from Oracle databases and both don't manage to import all 
data completely and correctly. The ".net Framework Data Provider for Oracle" 
doesn't copy views, but manages to import all data, but the views would be 
required for the AR server to function correctly. The "Microsoft OLE DB 
Provider for Oracle" does copy views as well, but doesn't set the correct data 
types when creating tables and thus fails to import data after some time.
The question is: has anyone performed a migration from Oracle to MSSQL by just 
importing the database to the MSSQL server? Or should we just stick with the 
Migrator for this matter?

Regards
Jan Hartung
