The documentation of the framework is in Chinese, I'll translate it to english as soon as I can. The whole package is only 31K after compression, so don't worry about space at all^_^ Anyway, I have mailed the dll, the code generator and a demo program to you. You can take a glance of the framework. The translated documentation will soon arrive at your mailbox.

Yes, it's true that you have to rewrite the OracleCommand when the table structure is changed. If you want to find an universal procedure, perhaps you need an object persistence framework, which I am just developing ^_^ DBO, an object persistence framework based on .NET metadata Would you like to take a look at it?

thank you ,john. it seems so complicated,haha. the main method is that first read the local or remote db file into dataset using the olddb class,and then insert it into the oracle database by the sql command. but there is a problem,it's not a universal procedure.Once the table structure is different,you have to rewrite the OracleCommand,do you have any good idea?

There are many db type differences between Access and Oracle, I think you have to write some code to control the import progress. Some months ago I wrote a program for importing data from Excel file(.xls) to Oracle. I used some classes in "System.Data.OracleClient" and the main program looks like this: OleDbDataAdapter odda = .... DataSet xlsDS = new DataSet(); odda.Fill(...); // Fill data into xlsDS // Predefined OracleCommand OracleCommand oraCommand = new OraceCommand("INSERT INTO...", ...); foreach (...) // For each DataRow in xlsDS { oraCommand.Parameters.Clear(); oraCommand.Parameters.Add(...) oraCommand.Parameters.Add(...) oraCommand.Parameters.Add(...) oraCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
