Overview

SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a suite of five tools designed to automate migrations from Oracle, Access, DB2, MySQL and SAP ASE (formerly SAP Sybase ASE) to Microsoft SQL. It automates the conversion of database schemas to a Microsoft SQL Server schemas, deployment of  the schemas, data migration to the target SQL Server (see below for supported versions), and validation of migrated objects.

 

What's new?

The latest releases of SSMA enhances the current ad-hoc statement assessment capability. When you have Oracle script bundled in files that needs to be converted, you can add statements from files directly to import the files and perform assessment and conversion.

 

 

Key Behavior

  2. The imported file in SSMA will maintain the file name of the .sql file.
  3. Every time when you import a file with same name, it will append an auto incremental number. Example: abc#2, abc#3
