MySQL to Oracle

Moving your MySQL databases to an Oracle server involves large amounts of work, at least at first sight. Still, as is the case with anything else, if you have a capable software utility on your side, the entire operation could be much more painless.

MySQL to Oracle is a program that could accompany you on such a quest, being able to convert data, indexes, table definitions, and foreign keys in a wizard-like user interface that makes navigation a breeze.

Before anything else, it is worth mentioning that, in order to successfully convert your databases, there is no need for Oracle components installation, which is obviously a plus in terms of efficiency. And since we have touched upon the subject, it should also be mentioned that the app integrates support for command line tasks so that you can automate the conversion process.

Aside from that, storing all your conversion settings into a profile can be done, which means you can load said file and no longer have to go through the configuration.

As for how these settings are made available, users should know that the wizard-like interface organizes them in a neat manner so that you complete each step intuitively.

First and foremost, you must connect to your MySQL server. Once you decide whether you opt for a local or remote connection, you need to type in your login information. Connecting to the Oracle server is the next thing you need to consider. For that, a database name, port, username, and password are required.

The next screen you are shown asks you to specify the source database name as well as how you want the program to process existing tables. You can thus overwrite, merge, skip, or sync them. Apart from that, the app enables you to convert table definitions only as well as skip converting indexes, turn names to uppercase, and convert BLOB to text.

Now you should be ready to handle your MySQL tables, which you can convert individually and whose structure can be customized as you see fit. Converting partial data by turning to SELECT-queries is an option as well.

MySQL to Oracle is a feature-packed database conversion tool that manages to remain easy to interact with. It allows you to effortlessly convert MySQL databases to Oracle while putting at your disposal a series of settings you can tweak so that you extract strictly the data that bears importance to you.
