import dmp into SQL Server

A newby question:

I've got a .dmp from from an Oracle database that I need to import
into SQL Server. I have no idea how to do this.

If anyone know how to do this, I'd very, very much appreciate the
help.

Thanks, CC

Data Transformation Services should be able to handle this just fine. You
can find it in Entreprise Manager. The wizard should walk you through all
the steps.

Hi

Output files exported from Oracle using the Oracle Export utility may
contain DDL as well as data, it will also probably contain multiple tables
and other objects. If this is your situation then I suggest that you install
Oracle onto a machine and then either create a linked server or export it in
a different way.

You may want use third party tool like FastReader form WisdomForce
(www.wisdomforce.com) to unload Oracle tables into ascii text file.
FastReader also generates input for mssql loader. One quick step
process

You may want to use a 3rd-party tool such as CampaignRunner for this.
You can then will port data from Oracle directly to SQL Server,
bypassing the file-based mechanisms, in just a few mouse clicks.
