OraDump-to-MySQL is a program to export data from Oracle dump files into MySQL, MariaDB or Percona database. The program does direct reading from the dump, so Oracle installation is not required. Command line support allows to script, automate and schedule the conversion process.

Features All versions of Oracle dump files are supported (both EXP and EXPDP) Encrypted dump files are supported All versions of Linux/Unix and Windows MySQL are supported Special approach for Virtual Server users Option to merge Oracle data into an existing MySQL database Option to convert individual tables Converts parallel export Oracle dump files Converts indexes with all necessary attributes Option to customize types mapping, select certain columns to convert Converts foreign keys Option to convert Oracle data into MySQL dump file Stores conversion settings into profile Option to customize MySQL charset and storage engine Option to synchronize MySQL database with Oracle data  Verified compatibility with MariaDB and Percona Command line support Quick Launch Easy-to-use wizard-style interface Full install/uninstall support The product can be customized according to customer requirements Unlimited 24/7 support service 1-year subscription for updates Limitations Does not support compressed dump files Does not convert views, stored procedures and triggers Does not convert columns having user-defined types Demo version converts only 50 records per table

Requirements

• Supported OS: Windows XP(SP2 or SP3)/Vista/7/8/10, Server 2003/2008/2012/2016, Linux with WINE
• Necessary privileges to write into the destination database

Quick Launch

Once you stored conversion settings into profile you can run the program in Quick Launch mode. Just launch Windows Explorer and double-click on the profile description file (.od2s) with left mouse button. This will cause OraDump-to-MySQL launch conversion loading the necessary settings from the specified profile. Then you will be taken right to the screen with progress of conversion without entering all conversion settings.

Virtual Server users option

If you are using Virtual Server hosting you probably have no sufficient privileges to create new databases on the target MySQL server. For this case we recommend the following approach:

1. ask your Virtual Server administrator to create blank database for you
2. run OraDump-to-MySQL and select this database as the conversion target
3. click "Yes" when you will be asked if you'd like to overwrite existing MySQL database

When you complete these steps, the entire contents of the source MS SQL database will be imported into the specified MySQL database.

Synchronization

OraDump-to-MySQL implements synchronization as combination of insert Oracle records that are missing in MySQL table and update existing MySQL records with Oracle data. For synchronization purpose source and destination tables must have identical structures and primary key or unique index defined.

How to process parallel export Oracle dump files

To speed up exporting data into dump Oracle allows export operation to be executed by multiple threads that are working at the same time. Each thread generates output in its own file, so the result of the parallel export job is a set of files. OraDump-to-MySQL can extract data from the first file of that set only. To read the entire data it is necessary to merge all file of parallel export into one with ormerge.exe tool that can be found in the installation folder. It is a console utility that accepts the following arguments:

ordmerge.exe <dumpfile#1> <dumpfile#2> ... <dumpfile#N> <resulting file>

Then OraDump-to-MySQL should be run against the resulting file.

Customize table structure

Manual table structure customization can be accessed by double click on the corresponding table name in "Selected tables" list of "Step 3 of 4" wizard page.

This will cause the following dialog box to appear:

To customize type mapping select the appropriate item in the listview on the left and specify new name, type and default value for the field using "Field info" group of controls. Please note that listview on the left contains column attributes of the original types mapping, new custom types and attributes will be displayed in "Field info" controls when the corresponding item is highlighted in the listview.

MySQL dump file

OraDump-to-MySQL converter allows users to make indirect conversion and get more control over the process. Following this way, the program converts Oracle dump data into a local MySQL dump file instead of moving it to MySQL server directly. This dump file contains MySQL statements to create all tables and to fill them with the data. Click here to learn how to import dump file into MySQL database.
