They are bringing in an Aplication that has a SQL backend. I need to do a one time data dump from an Oracle databse to the SQL DB. The fields are quite different and they will need to be mapped. I have been put in charge of this and I am not the best at BD stuff. What is the best procedure to do this. Should I use SSIS...Link Server...Oracle gateway...Or just write a small app and connect directly to the Oracle and SQL databases. There is a ton or records.

For a one time pump, I'll use the import/export wizard. Unless the remapping is dramatic, in which case writing an SSIS package is the way to go.

The problem is I am not to familiar with using SSIS. Do you know of an example that is doing a similar job?

use the import/export wizard and let it do a simple import. have it save the code, then you can look at it and get a good idea of what to do.
