Hi all,
 
I was wondering if any one out here knows if there is a good list 
(mailing list) for discussing MS Access problems. I am specifically 
looking for migrating/converting large Access database into Oracle 
database. I need to know what will be the steps to convert such a 
database into an Oracle database. Also need to learn Access from start.
 
Please reply fast, I need to dive into this one.
 
Thanks and Regards,

Oracle has a product called Migration Workbench that converts various 
other db's to Oracle. Can't vouch for it performance, never having used 
it before though.

If it works at all, then it should work in both 8i and 9i, although I 
don't have a version of 8i handy right now to try this on.

Hello all,
 
I am working with a query that does some counts. I've hit a brick wall 
and can't get passed trying to figure out how I can make the query show 
percentages %.
 
Here is the query:
 
select "COUNTRY",
count ("MSS") "COUNT_MSS"
FROM (
 SELECT DISTINCT
 ms.journal_id||ms.yr_of_issue||ms.ms_sequence_no||ms.check_char MSS,
 m.RVIEWNUM_INIT_INITSET||M.RVIEWNUM_INIT_SITE||M.RVIEWNUM_INITSEQ 
"NAME_ID",
 NVL(a.country,'USA') "COUNTRY"
 FROM mscript ms, reviewms m, address a, journal j
 WHERE (m.first_return between '01/01/2003' and '12/31/2003'
  or m.second_return between '01/01/2003 and '12/31/2003'
  or m.second_return between '01/01/2003 and '12/31/2003')
  and ms.journal_id = j.journal_id
  and M.MSNUMBER_JCO! DE  = ms.journal_id
  and M.MSNUMBER_YRISSUE = ms.yr_of_issue
  and M.MSNUMBER_MS_SEQNO = ms.ms_sequence_no
  and M.MSNUMBER_CKCHAR = ms.check_char
  and m.RVIEWNUM_INIT_INITSET = a.namekey_init_initset(+)
  and M.RVIEWNUM_INIT_SITE  = a.namekey_init_site(+)
  and M.RVIEWNUM_INITSEQ = a.namekey_initseq(+)
  and a.addtype_addrstyp in ('m', 'p')
  and a.addtype_typeno = 1
  and (a.addr_end_date is null
or a.addr_end_date > sysdate)
  and (first_recommend not in 
('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','F','P','N','S','u')
or second_recommend not in 
('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','F','P','N','S','u'))
 order by 1)
GROUP BY ROLLUP(COUNTRY)
 
And the output:
 
COUNTRYCOUNT_MSS
 
AUSTRALIA   1
AUSTRIA   2
BELGIUM  4
CANADA  20
CHILE   1
CHINA  3
CZECH REPUBLIC1
DENMARK   4
ENGLAND   10
   46
 
Is there a way I can also display a percentage column, that is the 
percentage of the total in the same SQL statement?
 
As always thanks so much!
 
Viktor
 
Will this work? (ran a simple test case that worked, although this may not):

select 
country,count_mss,round((count_mss/decode(overall_total,0,1,overall_total))*100)||'%' 
pct
from (
select "COUNTRY",
count ("MSS") over (partition by "MSS") "COUNT_MSS",
count("MSS") over () overall_total
FROM (
 SELECT DISTINCT
 ms.journal_id||ms.yr_of_issue||ms.ms_sequence_no||ms.check_char MSS,
 m.RVIEWNUM_INIT_INITSET||M.RVIEWNUM_INIT_SITE||M.RVIEWNUM_INITSEQ 
"NAME_ID",
 NVL(a.country,'USA') "COUNTRY"
 FROM mscript ms, reviewms m, address a, journal j
 WHERE (m.first_return between '01/01/2003' and '12/31/2003'
  or m.second_return between '01/01/2003 and '12/31/2003'
  or m.second_return between '01/01/2003 and '12/31/2003')
  and ms.journal_id = j.journal_id
  and M.MSNUMBER_JCO! DE  = ms.journal_id
  and M.MSNUMBER_YRISSUE = ms.yr_of_issue
  and M.MSNUMBER_MS_SEQNO = ms.ms_sequence_no
  and M.MSNUMBER_CKCHAR = ms.check_char
  and m.RVIEWNUM_INIT_INITSET = a.namekey_init_initset(+)
  and M.RVIEWNUM_INIT_SITE  = a.namekey_init_site(+)
  and M.RVIEWNUM_INITSEQ = a.namekey_initseq(+)
  and a.addtype_addrstyp in ('m', 'p')
  and a.addtype_typeno = 1
  and (a.addr_end_date is null
or a.addr_end_date > sysdate)
  and (first_recommend not in 
('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','F','P','N','S','u')
or second_recommend not in 
('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','F','P','N','S','u'))
 order by 1)
GROUP BY ROLLUP(COUNTRY))

(not sure how it will react to a 'group by rollup..' though.

Is that possible doing style sheets.  I did find some doc's that showed

Any code or links would be appreciated.

How about adding the line:
source /.(bash_)profile
to the shell script that runs exp?
Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to test this where I am right this
