Oracle SQL Developer Supplementary Information for IBM DB2 Migrations describes several differences between IBM DB2 and Oracle. It also outlines how those differences are dealt with by SQL Developer during the migration process.
This guide is intended for anyone who is involved in converting an IBM DB2 database to Oracle using SQL Developer.
You should be familiar with relational database concepts and with the operating system environments under which you are running Oracle and IBM DB2.
