Converting from MS Access
27Course ID 735 Argos - Moving into the Community
Converting from MS Access
• We have been using MS Access with Banner for 7 years
• How to move from our existing MS Access?
28Course ID 735 Argos - Moving into the Community
Converting from MS Access
• Build Datablocks via the Query Design GUI?
29Course ID 735 Argos - Moving into the Community
Converting from MS Access
• Enter the Oracle Code?
30Course ID 735 Argos - Moving into the Community
Converting from MS Access
• Either way will work for you, but • you still need to know the Banner Record Selection Criteria

Banner Record Selection Criteria

Banner Record Selection Criteria

Banner Record Selection Criteria: Tables Actually Used
• Then in SQL*Plus: 10:32:39 BKNOX: PROD> START argostables.txt
• This runs table_to_argos.sql for each Table in the file.
• The script concatenates each result into a single text file containing the Table information required for constructing Queries or determining Record Selection Criteria.

Banner Record Selection Criteria: Reports to Queries
• And it works!• But, this MS Access Query was mostly Oracle Joins• Converting the MS Access Functions is a Challenge• access_to_argos.shl UNIX Shell Script Can Help
55Course ID 735 Argos - Moving into the Community
Banner Record Selection Criteria: Reports to Queriesaccess_to_argos.shl include conversions for the most common MS Access Functions plus some hints on the complex ones
Automated Conversion includes:
removes all [removes all ]changes Double Quotes to Single QuotesInserts the CR, Carriage Returns or Newlines is just to help visually format the code to make it more readable, IMO Iff inserts CR in front of IIf FROM CR after FROM WHERE CR after WHERE HAVING CR after HAVING
changes: Chr( to CHAR( Len( LENGTH( Now() SYSDATE Nz( NVL( UCase( UPPER( LCase( LOWER(
and since I use Upper Case for Oracle Keywords: Abs( to ABS( LTrim( LTRIM( RTrim( RTRIM( Trim( TRIM( Round( ROUND(
The following are too complex for sed and tr to convert, but here are some hints on making the changes: Left(AnyString, n) SUBSTR(AnyString,1,n) Right(AnyString, n) SUBSTR(AnyString,LENGTH(AnyString)-n+1,n) IIf Can be replace with CASE or DECODE (use CASE if any IIf ... Between ... used)
Warning: One must be careful that the input contains no Lower Case Selection Criteria, because the output is UPPER Case

Banner Record Selection Criteria: Reports to Queries
• You can build the Query using the
COLUMNs, Tables, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, and HAVING
• Or, Build the Query from your code.
• Either will allow you to use parameters.
• Another option would be to build an Oracle VIEW from the code, but you would probably need a lot more help from IT to do that.
