AW: COBOL TO ORACLE
Hi I'm basically doing the same: We're using PL1 programs to do an "unload" of VSAM files by hand. That actually takes care of multiple record structures and the like. It's a poor-man's normalisation of VSAMs ;). Then, just load the data as it is into a staging DB (Oracle), transform it and push it into the production DB (also Oracle). What I don't understand about the original eMail is the COBOL to Oracle part, but relating to the data ?! I guess moving the HOST based data was meant ? And regarding to connecting to VSAM or the like directly from Designer (via reading the copy books for instance), ... it either doesn't exist or we didn't find it ;). I opt for the first. PS: Having to use Oracle Designer is about as cool as crucification. Stefan -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-Von: Govindan K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Gesendet: Mittwoch, 1.

RE: COBOL TO ORACLE
What OS are you using? I assume the COBOL app resides on the same box as the database? When performance is poor, can you see what the top processes are? As for the merits of COBOL, our COBOL apps hum along very nicely, processing millions of records a month. Also, I like having conversations with developers that tell me I connect to the database and run this SQL statement... vs getting into some convoluted discussion about objects, object servers, ODBC formatted SQL, etc. Perhaps I'm blissfully ignorant about some aspects of programming, but I can tell you that our COBOL programs that follow the KISS method give us the least amount of headaches.

Re: COBOL TO ORACLE
Er ... No. COBOL is a programming language. Oracle is a relational database manager. The data used in a COBOL program can be stored in a variety of ways. It's even possilbe to have a COBOL program using data from an Oracle database. I'm not aware that Designer can translate COBOL file definitions into entities; however, if you know COBOL and Oracle it should be fairly straightforward.

RE: COBOL TO ORACLE
Like Thomas Day said, Oracle is an rdbms and COBOL a programming language. You can use Sql*Loader to load flat files into Oracle or use COBOL programs with embedded SQL, you'll need to use Oracle Pro*Cobol to precompile the COBOL source before compiling them. The last time I've used Designer it was 2 years ago and I do not remember any support for transforming flat files to an ERD. Anyway, it would probably be a bad thing, I've seen applications do a 1 to 1 mapping between files and tables. The result was not good...

Re: COBOL TO ORACLE
Is there a tool available to move data from COBOL to ORACLE directly? One way to do is get COBOL data on a flat file and then use SQL*Loader to insert into ORACLE tables. If you are using SQL*Loader make sure to check the log after load. For larger loadsi would suggest direct load.

One one side you have a programming language, and on the other side a subsystem to handle data without having to open files, read, blahblah. Would you dream of concerting VB to Excel ? I presume that what you wan to do is to replace your Cobol file accesses to ISAM files or the like to access to relational tables. The forget about the QUICK, because you will have to rethink everything if you want the effort to be worthwhile.
