Hi, folks First thank all you who replied to my question. I should be more specific with my question.
In mysql database table, there is some thing like in the 'create table syntax': fieldname enum('yes','no') default null and fieldname datetime default null I have no idea about the first one. For the second, I am not familiar with the 'DATE' type in Oracle and its formatting. In the Mysql table, the format is like 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MN:SS'. What I am doing is trying to duplicate all those tables from Mysql database into the Oracle database and I am trying to do that by writing a small java program. The issue I am facing now is that I need to get correctly the 'create table syntax' for Oracle and trying to keep the formats of each column as close as possible to that in the Mysql table. I couldn't find a FREE tool to do this from Mysql to Oracle (not the other direction). So I decided to write it up. Thanks again.
