The target is usually business process reengineering in such migration needs. You can not and should not try to migrate each and every database object. Simply put, there is no equvalent for each and every jargon in Oracle in the SQL server. For example, 'Package' in your list does not exist in the SQL Server, to start with.You need to perhaps work towards business process reengineering and include the development side in the scope to produce working equivalent in the SQL Server side for the objects in the Oracle database.Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:11:43 GMTMazharuddin Ehsanhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1404050-1044-1.aspxI want to migrate from Oracle 9i to Sql server 2008 using SSMA.
