I have a task that requires I extract a data set from a MySQL server, and push it on to an Oracle (9i) server.
Hi Brian, If you're familiar with perl (or have a perl programmer handy) you can choose from a whole bunch of perl modules which interact with MySQL and Oracle databases. For example, in the FreeBSD ports tree you will find databases/p5-DBD-Oracle and databases/p5-DBD-mysql ports. Once you have both of these, it should be quite easy to write your perl script to pump data from the MySQL database with databases/p5-DBD-mysql port, perform the data manipulation your business requires and the dump the results into the Oracle instance with databases/p5-DBD-Oracle. Now, if your objective is to migrate all of your data from MySQL into Oracle, then you can check out the "Oracle Migration Workbench".
