Migrating To SQL Server From Oracle, Part 4

If you're migrating an Oracle database on a Unix server to SQL Server on a Windows server, Microsoft has a TechNet guide to help the migration. This guide is specifically for SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2000 Server. The guide hasn't been updated for SQL Server 2005 or Windows Vista or Longhorn. There's no word yet on when it will be updated, so if you plan to migrate to SQL Server 2005 or to Windows Vista or Longhorn, it may pay to hold off a little longer so that all the issues can be covered in the guide after thorough testing with someone else's guinea pig.
