How to Copy Data from BDE to Oracle - Step-by-Step

- Create an Oracle Connection using hostname, port, service/SID, username, and password
2. Create a New Transformation
Right-click on a transformation group and select New to create a new workflow.
3. Configure Reader
- Double-click the reader object
- Select the BDE connection
- Choose a source table or enter a custom SQL SELECT query
4. Configure Writer
- Double-click the writer object
- Select your Oracle connection
- Choose the target schema and table
- Set the action (insert, update, or replace)
5. Map and Transform Fields
- Map BDE fields to Oracle columns
