Hi,

i'm very new to oracle so my hope is to find help.

I have a big problem, I have a big mysql DB and want to migrate it to oracle, after that I want to use ADODB with php to connect.
I use the SQL developer and tried the quick migration.

My questions are:
- in SQL developer all tables and names are upper case, only. Is the only way to have the original sheme to place the names into "" and this by hand?
- do you have only UPPER CASE in you db, it would be very hard to rename all vars in my applications.

Thanks for help in advance!
Arne

You should do this. It is part of migration and it is not the hardest part.

Note that variable-names are not case-sensitive.
References to object-names are case-insensitive as well; Oracle internally translates all object_name references to upper-case, which generates a problem if you use mixed-case objectnames.
The general advice is to convert your object-names to uppercase. This is a one-time effort, and you will regret not doing almost every day, for the rest of the app's existance.
