Oracle to DB2 UDB Conversion Guide2003

Highlights

IBM DB2 Migration Toolkit (MTK) is a free tool to simplify and improve your migration to DB2 Universal Database (UDB). With MTK, you can automatically convert database objects such as tables, views, data types, etc. into equivalent DB2 database objects. MTK provides database administrators (DBAs) and application programmers with the tools needed to automate previously inefficient and costly migration tasks. You can reduce downtime, eliminate human error, and cut back on person hours and other resources associated with traditional database migration by using the MTK.

In this chapter we introduce the IBM DB2 Migration Toolkit and the following topics are discussed:

• MTK overview

• MTK planning

• MTK setup
