From an Upside.com story: “As Oracle’s giant trade show began in earnest today, Oracle and Sun Microsystems
reinforced their close long-term relationship, announcing a new version of a tool to help
customers leave rival Microsoft products for Oracle and Sun.

Oracle’s Migration Workbench helps companies move from Microsoft SQL Server 6.5, 7.0 and
Sybase Adaptive Server 11.0 running on Windows NT to Oracle’s 8i database on the Sun
Solaris operating system.

The Oracle software, which is available for free download, helps companies pass code from
NT-based SQL and Sybase to an Oracle/Sun system more quickly, Oracle and Sun officials say.”
