hello everyone 
Maybe my previous question was not the correct question to ask.
I am in the middle of making an application upgrade which includes DB structure upgrade with keeping Data "data loss is not accepted here".
I have a complex DB structure in my application which depends "in some cases heavily depending" on database specific features.
I use SQL Server "2005/2008" , Oracle "10g" mainly, but MySql is also used.
current modifications include:
* new IDs created and modified, some of these IDs have foreign keys  ,related to specific Field names that are new created ...
* modifications of Field types, lengths , charsets ...
here are notes about my case:
* some tables are partitioned. and some of them include LOB data.
* some tables are used as archived data "almost 100M records in some tables"
* data has to be moved as smooth as possible with NO LOSS.
My Questions are:
- Is there a best practice scenario to do this upgrade? 
- as mentioned before , my application is depending on a lot of database specific features , how can migration plan be optimized to work with major 2 DB engines "SQLSERVER / Oracle"?
- Is upgrading better or creating new DB Schema and applying new structure modified? then migrate this data? in such case how can i handle sequences , ... to make sure no errors occur in runtime?
thanks in advance
sorry for the stray ,,,
have a good day all.

the best way to to this upgrade, is to use an ETL like Talend ou Informatica.
Talend is an open source we use it for our data migration.
