TOOLS YOU CAN USE

When you hit the Next button in the previous screen you will bring up the next screen, which requires you to specify what kind of data you want transferred (integrated, maybe). There are two options, to copy the tables or to bring in only what is required by writing a suitable query. For this tutorial we will be bringing a couple of tables from Oracle XE to SQL 2005 Server, so the first option is chosen.

Tables and views to copy are chosen

When you click on the Next button in the previous screen you will be presented with the next screen, where all the tables and views in the Oracle XE are shown together with individual check boxes where you may make the selection of tables/views you want to bring. For this tutorial the four tables shown earlier will be brought in.

It is also possible to edit the information transferred by hitting the Edit... button to make changes to the mapping. You also have the option of getting all the tables. For a selected table, highlighting it in the list and hitting the preview button will show the data it contains, as shown in the next screen. To exit out of this, click on the OK button.
