Oracle .dmp to mySQL

2002-08-12 Thread Mike Townend

Hi all, 

We have just recently inherited a web project from another company who's
DB was Oracle 8. And as such they have provided us with an exported .dmp
file of the database they were using...

We are using mySQL as our DB backend...  Does anyone know of any tools
that will allow me to import this file into mySQL (or maybe SQL Server
which we can then import to mySQL)

MTIA

Mike

RE: Oracle .dmp to mySQL

2002-08-12 Thread Mike Townend

We don't have access to the Oracle server :(

So as to a project handover to the client they just gave them the dmp
file... 

Im currently downloading Oracle from the Oracle site but it's a major
download :(

Ive found a util that attempts to get the information from the dmp files
but this is failing :( so was just putting a feeler out to see if anyone
else had done this... So far I can recreate the table structure but cant
extract the actual data from the file.

TIA

Mike

Hi Mike,

I am not sure, but as I remember Microsoft SQLServer has Import/Export
utility (standard installation) that can import data from different
sources (Oracle?! why not).

Best regards,
Mikhail.

Except I don't have any access whatsoever to the Oracle server... All I
have is a flat dmp file on a CD which has all the data embedded into
this file...

I have found a tool that will extract the table structure from this
file... But will not extract the data

There is a application out there that does this called SQLPorter made by
Real Soft Studio (http://www.realsoftstudio.com). It might be worth the
$$ if it saves you some time and hassle. It worked for me going from SQL
Server 6.5 to MySQL 3.23.

Hope this helps,

Tim
