Oracle: Bin Directory and Utilities to Perform Import

SQLWays is able to execute the import process automatically. To perform it, user should provide target database credentials and Bin Directory.



Bin Directory is a path to a folder containing command line utility of the target database, such as psql.exe, sqlcmd.exe, mysql.exe and others. With the help of this utility import process is performed.</description>

Preserving Non-Ansi Symbols in Business Logic and Data

Symptoms

For example when running a conversion in SQLWays on Japanese locale, it doesn't extract Shift-JIS encoding properly, it corrupts all Japanese characters instead.

Cause

The Oracle option to extract Japanese characters from the source database and to display correctly the Japanese locale has not been set.</description>
