SQL Server 2008 isnt set to be released to manufacturing until the second quarter of next year. But Microsoft already is taking aim at Oracle with its forthcoming release.

SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) for Oracle V2.0 Released

Once upon a time, migrating from an Oracle database to SQL Server was a challenge for even the most seasoned database administrator. Now, the SSMA offers a complete suite of tools to help you automate all phases of the migration process. SSMA enables you to migrate from Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server quickly, easily and accurately.
As you probably know, Microsoft recently launched a tool called SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA). It allows an easy migration of Oracle databases to SQL Server, focusing on automatically converting PL/SQL to T-SQL. Hundreds of companies around the world have been successfully using SSMA to get off Oracle. Among those you'll find Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Dow, Simon&Schuster, Atento, Sonata Software, and many others. SSMA typically automates 80% of the code conversion, which greatly reduces the time and the cost of the migration. And what's really important - SSMA is a free download!

Using SSMA, the time, cost, and risk associated with migrating to SQL Server are greatly reduced, which increases the likelihood of a successful project. This enables your team to take advantage of SQL Server's superior developer productivity, scalability, and security, as well as the industry's lowest total cost of ownership (TCO)...
