OraDump to MSSQL

OraDump to MSSQL is a dedicated database migration tool developed by Intelligent Converters designed to extract data directly from Oracle dump files and write it into a Microsoft SQL Server database. Unlike standard migration methodologies that require active connections to both live databases, this program parses binary dump files (.dmp) generated by Oracle’s exp or expdp utilities without needing an Oracle database engine installed on the target machine. Core Mechanics & Features

The utility works as a direct extraction and translation pipeline.

No Oracle Engine Required: It reads the binary file format natively, saving infrastructure overhead.

Schema & Data Migration: It parses the source structure, converts Oracle data types into equivalent SQL Server types, and automatically constructs the target tables before populating them.

Automation and CLI: Includes a command-line interface (CLI) version allowing database administrators to script, automate, and schedule repetitive migration tasks via Windows Task Scheduler or custom scripts.

Synchronization Modes: Supports combining INSERT statements for missing records and UPDATE blocks to synchronize existing target tables, provided unique indexes or primary keys match. Step-by-Step Migration Process

The graphical wizard interface walks users through a structured five-step wizard: 1. Define the Dump File Source

Select the Oracle binary dump file (.dmp) from your local file directory or network share. 2. Configure the MSSQL Target Connection

Provide connection parameters for the destination Microsoft SQL Server. This requires: Server host name or IP address

Target database name (it can create a fresh empty database or use an existing one)

Authentication credentials (Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication) 3. Select Objects to Convert

The program scans the dump file metadata and renders a tree-view list of schemas and tables. You can choose to migrate the entire dataset or filter out individual tables by clearing their respective checkboxes. 4. Customize Schema and Data Types (Optional)

Double-clicking an item opens up custom table structure modifications. Here, you can override default data type rules—such as manually adjusting how Oracle NUMBER fields convert into SQL Server DECIMAL or INT types. 5. Execute and Report
