如何从Oracle SQL转储获取数据

Question

I have a .sql file (text file containing SQL statements for creating tables and inserting data) that is apprently dumped from an Oracle database.

I want the data (or at least some of it) imported into a MySQL database. The normal import doesn't work because of some specific datatypes.

What should I do? My guesses:

1. Somehow create an Oracle database, import the dump, then make SQL requests to pull the data out. If so, do I have to buy the thing? And do I have to make a separate virtual machine for the Oracle database?
2. Find and replace Oracle-specific stuff to something that MySQL understands. If so, are there any standard ways to translate things like VARCHAR2 ?

Answer 1

It turns out you can translate Oracle to MySQL. Here is a reference page: Oracle to MySQL Migration - SQLines .

In my case I had to translate things like NUMBER(13,0) to BIGINT and NUMBER(12,2) to DECIMAL(12,2) .

What wasn't explicitly stated in the big table (but mentioned lower) was that Oracle syntax specifies units for the size of varchar. So I translated VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE) to VARCHAR(4000) .

In my file the to_timestamp function was used. The table of built-in functions did not say what to do, but I replaced it with str_to_date as the result was written to a DATETIME field.

I also had microseconds which were excluded from the to_date reference on SQLines . At the end of the day to_timestamp('01-JAN-00 12.00.13.130000000 AM','DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM') becomes str_to_date('01-JAN-00 12.00.13.130000000','%d-%b-%y %h.%i.%s.%f') .
