SQL Developer: Migrating Third-Party Databases

Migration is the process of copying the schema objects and data from a source MySQL or third-party (non-Oracle) database, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase Adaptive Server, or IBM DB2 (UDB), to Oracle Database. You can perform the migration in an efficient, largely automated way.

Thus, you have two options for working with databases other than Oracle Database in SQL Developer:

• Creating database connections so that you can view schema objects and data in these databases

• Migrating these databases to Oracle, to take advantage of the full range of Oracle Database features and capabilities
