I'd like to connect Database Note Taker to Redshift, but the standard drivers dont do it. What do I have to do in order to connect?
From the Database Note Taker FAQ:
Can Database Note Taker connect to other database platforms?
Yes and we will add support for other platforms in the future. So long as it's a relational database and there are freely available connectors, then Database Note Taker will be able to work with it. Out of the box you can connect to Microsoft Sql Server, and MySql via ODBC.
Given that Amazon Redshift is based on PostgreSQL, it is highly unlikely that Database Note Taker will work with Amazon Redshift.
I also note that the the website is dated 2014 and the program was last updated in 2016.
I also notice that there is a 'Contact Us' page on that website, so you should probably ask them.
Ok, so this morning it seems that Oracle RAC shows up as an option when creating a RDS Custom. The only problem is that it doesn't show any custom engine versions and it seems it is required to have them. Now I have a couple of Oracle custom CEVs so what gives? If I click in and create a new CEV the only option is Oracle Enterprise Edition. Even if I click in and create it from here it still won't show up when I want to create the Oracle RAC. Is AWS just teasing us or what?
I have to Migrate Access Office 365 database to Oracle 19c using sql developer 19.2 but when I open sql developer connection there is no option for access. Only all I can see for Oracle where I successfully connected to Oracle.
Can anyone help me how can I connect to access database and successfully migrate database to Oracle?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Chandar
Perhaps it would be better to migrate Access database to SQL Server first (also called "upsizing"), and then to migrate the SQL Server database to Oracle.
I can connect to my 12c Oracle database using Oracle's Sql Developer and see my schema, but when I connect via SSMA I can't. I see a bunch of other schemas in SSMA, which I assume came with Oracle because I've only created two users on the box and I don't see either of them in SSMA. I'm connecting using the System account, so I don't think it would be a permissions issue. As you might be able to tell I don't know much about Oracle. Where could my schema be hiding?
I'm trying use Microsoft SSMA for Oracle to migrate a database onto Azure SQL, but I can't get it going. I've double checked the server name, server port, Oracle SID, password... everything. No matter the type of entry screen I use, I can't get it to connect to the on-premise Oracle instance.
I'm pretty sure the login information is all correct, and I should have a working connector to Oracle since I connect to it from TOAD on a daily basis. I tried installing Oracle libraries per previous posts but not sure if I did it successfully because the issues still remains.
What are the troubleshooting steps I should take in order to make this work?
Log in screen:
Error 1:
Unable to find specified provider.
Compatible Oracle Data Access Connectivity libraries were not found on the machine. You can install them from Oracle product media or download it from Oracle web site.
Error 2:
Connection to Oracle failed.
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Error 3:
Connection to Oracle failed.
Network Naming: No LDAP server detected or configured
After a few more days of debugging, I was finally able to get SSMA to work. This answer helps to document my solution for personal use, as well as hopefully answer anyone else's question in the future.
After looking at the list of prerequisites to have SSMA running, I saw that I needed to have a correct Oracle client running. After some internal discussion, it was likely that the Oracle client SSMA needed was different than the one my computer already had for TOAD. The .Net provider for the TOAD connectors was probably not useful for SSMA.
We run Oracle 11g but I had to install Oracle 12c because 11g did not support Windows 10 apparently. Not too much of a roadblock here.
I found this guide to install Oracle client 12c pretty helpful. Shoutout to my alma mater.
Unfortunately the installer kept freezer, but using this former post, I was able to bypass it with the windows command:
setup.exe -ignoreprereq -J"-Doracle.install.client.validate.clientSupportedOSCheck=false"
After that, I saw different error messages when trying to connect SSMA. I kept trying different options with my logins until it worked. Provider: OLEDB Provider, Mode: Standard.
After being granted the appropriate permissions, I was finally able to access our internal tables and objects.
It was a pretty annoying question with a lot of rabbit holes along the way, but it was definitely worth it, being able to translate all our Oracle schemas to Azure SQL with a few clicks. Hope this helps!
Make sure to validate all steps mentioned below before going to install Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Oracle.
Make sure you have already installed SQL Server instance that will host the migrated database. Also keep in mind that you are not installing SQL Server Express edition to host the migrated database.
You must have sysadmin account to install SQL Server Migration Assistant for Oracle.
Make sure to install SSMA for Oracle on the server that will host newly migrated database on SQL Server.
It is recommended to install Oracle client software on your target system where SQL Server Instance is running.
Make sure your windows server has Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 or a later version. Port 1434 should be open.
For more details, You can reference: How to Install SSMA for Oracle to Migrate Oracle Database to SQL Server.
Here's the Azure Database Migration Guide: Migrate Oracle to Azure SQL Database. As you prepare for migrating to the cloud, verify that your source environment is supported and that you have addressed any prerequisites. This will help to ensure an efficient and successful migration.
Connect to Oracle with Oracle Client Provider.
Azure also has other way can help you migrate Oracle database to Azure SQL database, such as with Azure Data Factory. If you still has the connect error. I think you can try to use it. Please reference this tutorial: Copy data from and to Oracle by using Azure Data Factory.
Hope this helps.
