RE: Compare, Merge and replicate between Oracle and MS Access
Are you serious? Replication between Oracle and MS Access, why? -Original Message- Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 2:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi DBAs, I am researching for solution for a new project. We have a few tables in Oracle8i db, similar tables with more columns and more data in MS Access. The data is very static. Our plan is to synchronize the two dbs, from then on we will always put change(adding more columns, or insert new data) in Oracle first, then replicate the change to MS access db in batch process. I am looking for solutions 1) to compare the existing data in Oracle and MS Access 2) to merge the data into Oracle 3) to maintain the two db on ongoing basis. periodically check if they are in synch, then replicate data to MS access. Is there any tool to do the job? any ideas for solution? One solution I thought about is to use MS DTS to put Oracle into Access, then compare.

James - Have you considered just maintaining the Oracle tables and then attaching (or whatever the Access word is) the Oracle table in Access? That way you have a single table, single source, etc. Simple is good. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

RE: Compare, Merge and replicate between Oracle and MS Access
James can you tell us more about the requirements of your environment/software that would cause such a solution to arise. I can see the possibility of writing a MS Access client that perhaps your sales staff uses that replicates with the database. Hopefully, you don't have too many tables. You really are not going to have a lot of success I think using anything but a PL/SQL and VBA solution in this regard. - Ethan -Original Message- Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 1:24 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Are you serious?

RE: Compare, Merge and replicate between Oracle and MS Access
The Oracle server is on our internal network, the MS Access is on a server from ISP, which is outside of our network. The cost to eliminate the MS Access, merge all application to our Oracle is too high, so we decide to stay the way it is. It's not real replication, just copy(move) the data from Oracle to MS Access in batch process, but we want to automate the process. -Original Message- From: Khedr, Waleed [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 2:24 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: Compare, Merge and replicate between Oracle and MS Access Are you serious?

RE: Compare, Merge and replicate between Oracle and MS Access
You will need to use VBA and DAO to. 1. Connect to the Oracle database. 2. Delete or drop the tables in the Access database. 3. Insert or create the tables from the Oracle database. Anyone proficient with VBA and DAO and Access should be able to do this very easily. - Ethan -Original Message- Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 1:58 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The Oracle server is on our internal network, the MS Access is on a server from ISP, which is outside of our network.

RE: Compare, Merge and replicate between Oracle and MS Access
Can you not substitute say, Oracle Lite for Access on the 'downstream' sites use Oracle's native replication? (Or keep Access as a front-end, but use OL for the actual storage the replication.) I would guess you'd be in for less work/trouble that way (tho I know zip about Oracle's replication features). If you can't, I would try to find a third-party tool that can do it automagically (http://www.aardvark.on.ca/pd/replicate.html claim to have such a solution). If that fails, consider just doing a brute-force complete update of the Access db have your downstream sites FTP the entire new mdb file over top of the old version.
