How to Migrate from Oracle to SQL Server

Before we discuss how to migrate from Oracle to SQL Server, let us understand what data migration is and when it may be used. This process involves exporting data from the source location, modifying if needed, and then transferring it to a destination location. In other words, data migration is moving data between database objects or servers.

Data migration serves different purposes, one of which is optimizing performance. For example, organizations might need to move data to other storage systems or reorganize database structures to improve query performance. In addition, an increasing number of database migrations from on-premises servers to cloud-based platforms are driven by cost reduction, scalability improvements, and enhanced disaster recovery capabilities.

During the data transfer, companies often use migration or data import/export tools, such as dbForge Studio, whose distinctive feature among migration multiple tools is importing data from various sources, including ODBC connections.

In the article, we’ll examine how to move data from Oracle to a SQL Server database using dbForge Edge and Devart ODBC Driver for Oracle.
