Migration Tools

Grab a cup of tea and kick back and prepare to "research" migration technologies without reading 1 doc or white paper. ehhh , ok theres one doc, or you could wait a few weeks till I get a viewlet together

Migrate Sybase table definitions, indexes, primary and foriegn keys, constraints, triggers, functions, views, procedures and data to Oracle using SQL Developer
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/viewlets/sqlserver.html

The above uses JDBC to pump the data from Sybase to Oracle.
This has its limitations, so why not use SQL Developers automatically generated BCP and SQL*Loader scripts to pump data from Sybase to Oracle

Still , you would have to take your database down for some time while the data move was acomplised. Thats where Oracle GoldenGate comes in. It allows real time data move without taking down your Sybase database , and ... even when your apps running on Oracle you can keep the data updated on your Sybase system until your happy to turn it off.
