[...] Se puede decir que realizar la migraciÃ³n es realmente fÃ¡cil: en apenas dos horas se puede instalar el software, capturar las fuentes, crear los objetos de la base de datos de destino y generar un buena cantidad de estadÃsticas. Otra opciÃ³n es crear un database link entre Oracle y MySQL, a travÃ©s de ODBC based Generic Connectivity link.

I ‘ve tried AndyBr’s Solution, it really works after trying it.I am not sure about the SID that i should enter on the Migration part Step 1of 4. Is this the SID of the new Oracle Database to be created? Any 1 with da answer?

I was quite frustated using this OMWB because connection problem to MYSQL 5 db
After wasting hours of sleep time & bandwidth, I found another method using Connector/J

1. Download ‘mysql-connector-java-3.1.14.zip’
2. Extract it
3. Find ‘mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar’ from the extracted dir
4. Rename the file mentioned above to mysql-connector-java.zip (only one file !)
5. Copy the file to ‘omwb/drivers’
6. Run omwb
7. Get some beer

hope this help,
AndyBr

hello there,
i am trying to reproduce a data server that a company uses to present information to its customers via the web. No problem. What they are using right now is Microsoft Access, connecting via ODBC to a server on line. The cool thing that they can do is have several tables linked together. Like if a certain field is updated in one table, it updates the same info automatically in another table. So, i want to reproduce this in MySQL, but i can’t seem to find out how. Is there a way to pull this off on the server side ? or does that have to be done on the client side ?
thanks for any tips.

I have the same issue immediately following installation. After restarting the client, I am able to connect to MySQL from the OMBW Capture Wizard.

after following your instruction on zipping the myl-connector file, i am still getting the “database not found, make sure hostname ….”
like john, i can connect to mysql on my pc with hostname=localhost, so i don’t understand why the database cannot be found.
would appreciate it if you could help.

also, there is no”mysql-connector-java-3.x.xx-stable.zip” file, only a “mysql-connector-java-3.x.xx-ga.zip” file that can be downloaded.

thanks
