1) Changing a column from Sql Server to Oracle using the below mapping rule

Hi Navya,

Just create target table in oracle with required column data types and load the data.

Cut off after 5 characters --- You can use SUBSTR() function to cut a string.

Hi navya sinha,

while creating target table, you can specify that column to default null like below and you can also pass NULL in the query transform mapping for this column.

CREATE TABLE Persons (
ID int NOT NULL,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Age int DEFAULT NULL,
City varchar(255) DEFAULT 'Sandnes'
);
