We have to look at ,igrating data from an existing system that was built
using mysql. Was in two minds where to post this to or whether to cross-
post but decided to ask here first.
Does anyone know of any utilities that will enable a mysql schema to be
loaded into Oracle (we're talking 9iR2 and/or 10gR2 here)? It doesn't
have to be sophisticated (no problem to have manual steps) but would be
great if can be achieved.
Thanks for all suggestions.

If I was given this task I'd write a simple PERL program to move the data
from MYSQL to Oracle.
Do you have any MYSQL datatypes that do not cleanly map to Oracle?

Different servers, different providers. Ideally we'll just find a simple
method of "exporting" the MySQL schema as DDL scripts whichy are oracle-
compatible and likewise a set of insert statements per table, again
oracle-friendly.

Not sure at the moment - haven't had sight of the MySQL schema. We are
only going to load the data into a holding schema and then run
transformations to load into our application tables.

I once transferred data from mysql to oracle using oracle's hsodbc to
define a database link from oracle to mysql. Don't know if it's the
right tool for your task, but maybe it's worth a look ...

Thanks will take a look into this as well.
