Step-By-Step Guide to Importing Data from Oracle XE to SQL 2005 - The destination of the data
(Page 3 of 7 )

The destination for purposes of this tutorial is the SQL 2005 Server (Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.1399.00). When you click the OK button to the previous screen you get the following window.

Since the tables imported will go into a database in SQL 2005, you need to specify  an existing database, or create a new one. The server name is automatically entered as shown. Click on the ellipsis button, New ... in the above screen to bring up the Create Database window shown in the next screen.

You need to give a name to this database, which is Imported10g for use in this tutorial. The rest of the information gets filled in as shown. It essentially creates the data file Imported10g_data.mdf and log file Imported10G_log.ldf in the correct directories. As to the file sizes and their growth, you may make changes should you so desire. Here the defaults are used.

When you hit the OK button you have completed configuring the destination for the data, which is shown in the next screen. The database Imported10g will be created if everything goes according to the plan.
