How to Migrate from Oracle to SQL Server

Before we discuss how to migrate from Oracle to SQL Server, let us understand what data migration is and when it may be used. This process involves exporting data from the source location, modifying if needed, and then transferring it to a destination location. In other words, data migration is moving data between database objects or servers.

Data migration serves different purposes, one of which is optimizing performance. For example, organizations might need to move data to other storage systems or reorganize database structures to improve query performance. In addition, an increasing number of database migrations from on-premises servers to cloud-based platforms are driven by cost reduction, scalability improvements, and enhanced disaster recovery capabilities.

During the data transfer, companies often use migration or data import/export tools, such as dbForge Studio, whose distinctive feature among migration multiple tools is importing data from various sources, including ODBC connections.

In the article, we’ll examine how to move data from Oracle to a SQL Server database using dbForge Edge and Devart ODBC Driver for Oracle.

A DBA's Checklist for Decommissioning a SQL Server

As a DBA, one of the more stressful tasks that occasionally lands on your plate is having to decommission a SQL Server. Maybe the hardware is being retired, or databases are being consolidated onto fewer servers.

The Money In Cleanup

I have an acquaintance that helps migrate businesses off of ancient and inappropriate databases onto more recent ones. If you wonder how ancient and inappropriate let me simply state “not meant for industry” and “first created when One Piece the anime started airing” and you can guess. Now and then he literally goes and cleans up questionable and persisting bad choices.

In the recent unending and omnipresent discussions of AI, I saw a similar proposal. A person rather cynical about AI mused someone might make a living in the next few years backing a company’s tech and processes OUT of AI. Such things might seem ridiculous, until you consider my aforementioned acquaintance and the fact he gets paid to help people back out past decisions. Think of it as “migration from a place you shouldn’t have migrated to.”

It’s weird to think in technology, which always seems (regrettably) to be about forward motion and moving forward that there’s money in reversing decisions. Maybe it was the latest thing and now it’s not, or maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time (it wasn’t), but now you need someone to help you get out of your choice. Fortunately there are people who have turned “I told you so” into a service.

I find these “back out businesses” to be a good and needed reminder that technology is really not about forward. Yeah, the marketing guys and investors may want it, but as anyone who’s spent time in the industry knows, it’s not the case. Technology is a tool, and if the tool doesn’t work or is a bad choice, you want out of it. The latest, newest, fasted is not always the best - and may not be the best years later. Technology is not always about forward, even if someone tells you it is (before they sell you yet another new gizmo).

Considering the many, many changes in the world of tech, from social media to search to privacy, I wonder how much more “back out businesses” might evolve. Will there be coaches to get you to move to federated social media? How can you help a company get out of a bad relationship with a service vendor with leaky security and questionable choices? For that matter can we maybe take a look at better hosting arrangements and websites that aren’t ten frameworks in a trenchcoat?

I don’t know, and the world is in a terribly unpredictable state. But I’m amused to think that somewhere in my lifetime the big tech boom might be “oops, sorry.” Maybe we can say “moving away is really moving forward,” get some TED talks, and make not making bad immediate choices cool.

If You Fight For Your Limitations You Get To Keep Them

For many decades, software developers of all stripes have provided a multitude of CRM options for storing their company’s data. The perceptions of some in the end-user camp (and even some developers, albeit small) is that the notion of development both of and within any given CRM tool is complex, thus providing limitations which for today’s modern versions is just that.. a perception. For those who are of the belief that customizing, managing and even setting up a CRM system is challenging, you are not alone, as before the advent of modern cloud (or rather, subscription-based) databases, it was a field of endeavor that belonged to a small faction of core developers who were focused in this area. This all changed in 1999 when Salesforce introduced a revolutionary idea of not only providing anyone the ability to acquire a system to manage their business, but also the means of customizing it to make it their own. Let's get into some of the issues and dispel the misperceptions so you can formulate a decision based on facts. The Interface Is Different Than Our Current System At the outset of the acquisition of your Salesforce licenses, the Objects (i.e. Account, Contact, Campaign, etc.) provide an 'out of the box' configuration. As your business has completely different requirements from the next firm, you will of course want to change these defaults and modify it to appeal to the specifics of your business. You will no doubt need to not only change the layout of the objects but will also want to assign custom fields which align to the system you are migrating from. Contrary to what you may believe this is not as complex as you might think and in many cases can be accomplished with a minimum amount of custom code. So indeed, the look & feel of Sales Cloud without any modifications will be different than your existing CRM or Database but with some changes you can make it look (and function) in a similar fashion by adopting the same fields / structure as your current solution, with the added benefit of all the other advantages that come with Salesforce such as Workflow, Alerts, Report/Dashboards, and other benefits. Too Many Constraints When It Comes To Customization Unlike legacy databases, Salesforce does not need to be built from ground zero, and certainly doesn’t require hardware / software to house the data. This means that all of the issues and time prevalent with custom development and hiring Java coders go away. Nearly anyone with basic computer skills can begin customizing Salesforce in a short period of time by following step-by-step lessons via Trailhead, Salesforce's learn-as-you-go training system.

Editions of Salesforce have been honed over the years to make it simple for changing a multitude of options including Layout, Field, Formula and Workflow. In addition, for more in-depth customization outside of the core platform, Salesforce offers a Java-like programming language called Apex. All told, what would take an order-of-magnitude level of effort in creating a system from scratch does not apply with Salesforce as the system is switched on and ready the moment your licenses arrive... leaving only the customization to be done. And even in this realm, there exists decades of readily-available snippets and examples of others who have made similar changes to their environment allowing you to learn from their best-practices and adopt faster. The Cost Is Too High When it comes to the subject of CRM, cost is relative... or more specifically... you get what you pay for. When looking at price alone, one must visualize all options on the table and not just CRM as a system alone as to some, creating a spreadsheet can qualify as a 'CRM' . For years, Salesforce has automated much of what would have to be done manually if you were to develop this yourself which should be taken into account when factoring the final cost per license, and as there are differing price tiers, you may not require the ‘full enchilada’ immediately. As it’s a subscription-based model, you can always scale-up / down as needed without compromising the setup of your system... a point that sometimes go un-noticed as with non-subscription models, this one criteria could take weeks or even months to upgrade/downgrade. Based on not only these points, but more specifically with the fact that over 150,000 customers use Salesforce, should you still believe that modern databases are limited to only those who are coding geeks, one need only take a check ride by signing up for a trial version. By doing so, you will quickly realize the advantages of what a cloud-based CRM tool provides and be able to see the hundreds of options (including non-development items which are just as critical such as Security, Sandboxes and Support) too many to outline in a single post.  After evaluating the tool for what it is, and the power not only in the overall capabilities but also the ease of use, the prior limitations you may have held should be put in its proper place so as not to hold you back from the potential positives for your enterprise.
