Hey all,

I've got a requirement to copy across a large amount of data from an Oracle database onto my SQL Server 2000 box. The total amount of data is about 30GB across about 11 tables.
Currently I have a DTS package with some simple Data Pump tasks to pull the data in using the MS Oracle OLEDB driver (which I've read is the fastest). The transformations are very simple - all Copy Column (i.e. no ActiveX scripting). It is taking a long time - between 12 and 16 hours.
Is there a faster way of copying it across?

Cheers,

Tim

Other way you can dump Oracle tables to text files and then Bulk insert from it to SQL Server.
