Migrate data from Oracle to SQL2005 64-bit

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate data from Oracle 10g to SQL2005 64-bit but I've
ran into some problems. First I tried using SSMA vith 32-bit Oracle
client got connection with both databases. I was able to create
objects (tables,index etc..) but when I tried to migrate data SSMA
stopped at 2%. I tried the same against SQL2005 32-bit everything
worked fine.
I then changed Oracle client from 32-bit to 64-bit so I was able to
create a linked server but moving data with insert into..Select * from
linked server did take some time, about 1 million rows/30-min this is
too slow!
SSMA doesnt seem to be working with 64-bit Oracle client' Can't get
connected to the Oracle database.
So what to do, doesn't SSMA work with SQL2005 64-bit? What Oracle
client should I use? Is SSIS a way out of the problem. Could I speed
up moving data via linked server?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried the import wizard from SQL Server 2005 Management Studio?
Right-click on the database that you want to import to, choose Tasks /
Import Data ... and go through the dialogs. One of the data sources is
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle". Choose that, specify where you want
the data to come from, then where it will go on your server, etc.
(Disclaimer: I have never personally tried an import from Oracle.) This
import wizard will actually make an SSIS package to do the imports for you.
SSIS can use the Bulk Insert facilities so it can be about as fast as
possible, provided the mappings are simple.

I also have seen many problems connecting to Oracle from SQL Server 2005
64-bit. This version of the client and this patch worked fine for me:
Oracle Client 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Patch Set 2 10.2.0.3.0
Hope this helps,
