I am going to be working on a migration of Oracle DW to Netezza, and I need to understand if there are any major "gotchas" with data types, etc.

Out of interest, what's driving the migration? Features or Cost? – Nick Pierpoint Feb 21 '10 at 20:54

Should not be major gotchas unless you have object types or Spatial objects in Oracle Check few docs below, you might find it useful:

This Wisdomforce tool is pricey, has too many restrictions, and requires DBA access to the source database.

We just completed a project extracting huge amount of data (in TB) from Oracle to Netezza every night. We are using DBCrane, which is much easier to use.
