SSMA

SSMA (SQL Server Migration Assistant) is a Microsoft tool that lets users migrate databases from such platforms as Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, DB2, and MS Access to SQL Server. SSMA converts source database objects to SQL Server, loads those objects into SQL Server, and then migrates data. The project was developed especially for Microsoft. The project took six years (for the first 2 years, the project was implemented in Java and later fully ported to Microsoft .NET.). It took the efforts of 14 developers, 10 testers, and 8 DBAs.
