  • 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. As a result, the time, cost, and risks associated with migrating to SQL Server are greatly reduced. 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).
     

  • Content Management and accessibility - check this

    What I am doing when it's a such beautiful day outside ? I am coding like mad and I just finished the first release of my accessible version of Scoilnet, the Irish portal for education.

    Well to make it shorter, in two words Text Version link on the top of each page. Seems simple, but hey not that simple.

    I use dScribe, my other pet project, as the main CMS to control the content of Scoilnet, and boy this has given me the best help to finalise the accessible version.

    So two main things happens now to create an automatic text version.
