Oracle to SQL Server 2000 Migration toolkit
Overview
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a complete suite of tools that automates all phases of the migration process from Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server, enabling customers to migrate their databases quickly, easily and accurately. Many organizations continue to run their applications on other databases because the cost and complexity of migrating are so daunting. SSMA addresses these concerns by automating almost every aspect of database migration, including assessment, schema and data migration, business logic conversion, validation, integration and performance analysis.

This enables customers to take advantage of SQL Server’s superior developer productivity, scalability, security, and the industry’s lowest total cost of ownership (TCO). -
