SwisSQL - Oracle to Java Migration Tool 2.7

Migrate Oracle PL/SQL to Java

SwisSQL - Oracle to Java Migration Tool helps you convert Oracle PL/SQL procedures to Java. With Oracle and other database vendors supporting Java based procedures to be run inside the database, it is worthwhile to move to a completely Java based environment. PL/SQL procedures are also not portable across databases as it is proprietary to Oracle. Also, with the advantages of the distributed multi-tier architecture, it is always good to have the flexibility of deploying the core business-logic of enterprise applications either in the middle-tier or the database-tier. PL/SQL does not offer such flexibility. Hence, translating the existing PL/SQL procedures to Java offers the developers code maintainability, portability, flexibility of deployment and numerous other benefits. It is also easier to find Java programmers than PL/SQL programmers thus keeping the cost of building and maintaining enterprise applications under control.

SwisSQL - Oracle to Java Migration Tool takes PL/SQL Packages, Procedures, Functions and Triggers as input and converts them into standard JDBC based Java code. PL2JSQL implements most PL/SQL functions as JAVA API. The converted Java code can be run standalone or in J2EE container with EJB wrappers for the converted Business-Logic code.

Features and Benefits

• Converted Java code is easily maintainable and portable.
• Standards based, no proprietary APIs.
• Converted Java code can be deployed in the middle-tier or the database-tier.
• Supports almost all PL/SQL constructs.
• Supports PL/SQL Packages, Procedures and Functions.
• Outstanding support directly from developers.
