I found this guide using Oracle Sql Developer to import MS Access XML schema files to Oracle.
But there have been a lot of changes in Sql Developer since the guide was written.
Does anyone know if it's still possible to migrate MS Access to Oracle using latest Sql Developer tools?
No, we no longer support Access 'migrations' to Oracle in the current code base.
Java deprecated the odbc-jdbc bridge, and we were relying on that for Access connections.
You would need an old copy of SQL Developer (v3.1) to use this feature.
Now, if you have a SQL Server instance handy, you could move it over there, and then use SQL Developer to migrate the data to Oracle.
If it's a simple db, you could offload the tables to flat files (CSV), and use SQL Developer to create the tables from that.

My companies site uses a mysql database. One of our clients just trying to take advantage of our API is only able to give us the data in the form of a MSSQL .bak file
I have been trying to import the file using the migration tool built inot mysql workbench but have no luck.
On top of that I am trying to see if this can be done in powershell as I would like to automate this process in the future.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated
You cannot. MS SQL Server backups are proprietary to MS SQL Server and cannot be used with any other RDBMS. You will need to restore this backup to SQL Server, then use an additional tool to transfer the data from SQL Server into MySQL.
Can you do that second portion through PowerShell? Probably. Though SSIS would probably be a better method.
I'm a fairly new developer working on a database for a university research project. I created the database in Microsoft Access then used the SSMA Access to SQL migration tool to export it to Azure SQL. I'm now building a Ruby on Rails implementation of the databases front end on a Debian VPS and would like to migrate the Azure SQL database to MySQL for testing purposes with a view to eventually converting all of the database front ends to connect to the MySQL database.
I've been able to find plenty of articles discussing moving MySQL to Azure SQL but very little which details the process in reverse. Any and all help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike
Mysql allows you to import full database dumps (table definitions and content) as long as they are in sql format, in a text file.
As long as you manage to generate a dump of your database as a text file of sql statements you should be ok.
The only thing is azure may not give you the chance to generate that dump.
But you'll probably have third party tools that will allow you to.
If not, since you initially built you database in access you will for certain find free tools to do a access to mysql migrations. (a quick google search shows me bullzip and mdbtools as two free tools that do just that.)
Once you have your sql dump file just import it into mysql from the command line or using the source command in the mysql client.
Wouldn't it be better to write code that is database agnostic. That is your code shouldn't care what database you are using
I am working on a project to migrate databases from MS-SQL Server to MySQL and looking for open-source libraries or tools that would make my job easier, provided that the source and destination DBs wouldn't be the same. (The migration is not just a replication as it involves different schemas for both the source and destination databases.) I searched for the available tools and found these:
jTDS
Microsoft JDBC 4.0
MDB tools (Migrate MS Access to MySQL)
I am planning to run a batch job and use jTDS library to read the data from MS-SQL Server and then dumping them in MySQL. Is this the best way to go about it? It would be helpful if one could direct me towards a good tool and the good way to handle this.
I have had extremely good experiences with the SQL Server Migration Assistant for MySQL, this was going from MySQL to SQL Server.

But for MySQL I believe the URL you want is:

I have 2 databases, one is MS Access DB from an old website, and the other one is MYSQL from the new Joomla+VirtueMart based website.
I need to migrate existing products from MS Access to MYSQL.
I thought of putting both on server and writing SQL queries in MYSQL workbench, untill I have a good script for that, but I'm very new to SQL, so I'd rather avoid that.
I there a better way and more efficient for that?
You can always export to CSV and import that in MySQL.
you can use tools like Database Workbench
MySQL provides a free graphical tool called "MySQL Migration toolkit" which automates the migration of Access 2003 MDB files (schema + data) into MySQL.
More info at the following link:
http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/a-guide-for-migrating-from-microsoft-access-to-mysql/
(you need to register with Oracle to download the PDF guide).
Here's another link using the ODBC technology

I am using 64-bit Vista and I need to migrate an access database, in Office 2007 to SQL Server.
I don't want to have to write an SSIS package to do this, but that may be my only option.
Is there any other way to do this? I have about 330M of data in Access that needs to be moved, so I can write a webapp to replace this database.
Update: The error is:
The upsizing Wizard does not work with the version of Microsoft SQL Server to which your Access project is connected. See the Microsoft Office Update Web site for the latest information and downloads.
In Access, use the upsizing wizard under tools menu...
Edit, checked to see if it's still there: it has issues with SQL Server 2008.
Do you get the same error? (yes you do, says your edit)
Alternative: SSMS/Migration for Microsoft Access
See if creating a Linked Table inside Access DB (which points to your destination table in SQL Server) helps.
OR
See if you can use SQL Server functions (such as OPENROWSET) to open the Access tables.
The SQL Server 2008 Import/Export tool has worked great for me for migrating tables as well as data. You may need to install the SQL Management Studio to get the import tool also (it'll show up in your Start menu). It supports moving tables/data around from various sources, and I'm guessing that Access 2007 is supported.
That said, the SSMS/Migration for Microsoft Access tool may work the best overall.
Best of luck.
When all else fails, you could try creating an ODBC DSN for your SQL Server and then export the tables to that DSN. It won't get all the datatypes right, but it might be good enough to get things started if nothing else works.
I think it's pretty amazing that you can export a Jet/ACE table to an ODBC data source, to be honest.
