Can SQL Server Work With A Paradox Table?
Feb 18, 2006
I've never really setup or used MS SQL Server (just a couple hours, one
day, several months ago). I think MS SQL Server has the ability to use
"linked tables", like MS Access does. Is this correct? What I want to
do is have an MS SQL Server setup, which compatible applications can
talk with, but I want the data to come from a Paradox database. I can
use any MS SQL version, whatever would work best. I'm not sure about
the Paradox version, I know it is an old DOS version. I can't just
convert the data to another format, because Paradox still needs to use
it.
I tried using MS Access before, with ODBC drivers it *should* be able
to work with the Paradox data. However, I ended up with lots of data
corruption. I'm hoping MS SQL Server may work better, and not corrupt
the Paradox data everytime it is updated.

Dear all -
iam facing a problem to insert data to paradox table by using OLE DB Destination ,
Briefly i built a simple data flow the has OLE DB Source from paradox Table1 and it linked to OLE DB Destination for another Paradox Table2 (i use query to get the table2 data in OLE DB Destination because it refuse to get data Directly) .
The problem that when i start debugging an error raise as the following:
Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task 1, OLE DB Destination [554]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E09.
Error: 0xC0047022 at Data Flow Task 1, DTS.Pipeline: The ProcessInput method on component "OLE DB Destination" (554) failed with error code 0xC0202009. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.
Error: 0xC0047021 at Data Flow Task 1, DTS.Pipeline: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0202009.
i hope someone help soon because i need to handle this problem as soon as possible

Hi,
I have been told, I will have to transfer some paradox data into sql server 2005.
What is the best way to do this? i.e. if SSIS can be used, then what will be the source? I ask because there does not seem to be a source for Paradox.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks

I've been programming in Paradox since DOS, but one mail-order database is getting rather large (100K client records, and associated orders, etc).
Our client wants us to move to Filemaker. In fact he'd like to have a 3rd party write the programme and me maintain it. The current package has been written & maintained by myself, with an awful lot lot going on in the Object PAL code.
I already have a copy (legal) of SQL Server & 10 licences for Access, and think that's a better option to re-develop in (although I could do with some training in both).
What are the pros & cons for each app, and what would people recommend. I'm going to cross-post into Access, Paradox & Filemaker forums to get an equal view.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to import a Paradox 8 db into SQL Server 2000 using DTS but the list of data sources in the connections dialog only caters for version 5.x or older. Does anybody know how to get the data source for v8?
If not, is there any other quick and efficient way to import a paradox 8 db as I have to import around 15 of them to do.
Thanks

I wanted to turn off 'Enforce Foreign Key Constrain' using SQL. However, it did not work on the SQL Server 2005 database.
For example, running following SQL in Management Studio, and the result showed that 'Enforce Foreign Key Constrain' property for the newly created constraint was still enabled.
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Tags] WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Tags_ChannelID] FOREIGN KEY([ChannelID]) REFERENCES [dbo].[Channels] ([ID])
Does anybody know any way to get around with this problem. It is quite important for my software.
Ps. with the SP1, problem remains the same.

In
one of our forth coming projects, with ASP.Net/C#/MSSQL Server, We have
to deal with a Business table having about 15 millions of records. We
want to know, that which methodologies should we adopt, both regarding
front end and back end perspective, so the site could give optimised
performance. Also in place of a Dedicated Server, the Hosting Company
provides MSDE (that come with .net). Will this create any problem with
this project, that have such a huge table? Should we go for some
advanced database technique, such as, Clustering, Spliting Tables, etc.
Followings are the fields that the business table contains:
ID, Category ID (which comes from a Category table, each business is
under a category), BusinessName, SignupDate, Address1, Address2, Phone
Number,
Hours Of Operation, Years in Business, LicenseNumber, DiscountCoupon, Website

hi all,
The PATINDEX function is not working with the image datatype in SQL Server.
The books online says that you can use PATINDEX with the image datatype.
Unfortunately it seems to be big lie.
How can I get the functionality of PATINDEX worked.
This is how I placed my SQL Query
declare @p binary(16)
select @p =0xFFFFF30A000000008400000001000000
select patindex('%DEFG%',image) from image where textptr(image) = @p
The error I am getting was
Server: Msg 288, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
The PATINDEX function operates on char, nchar, varchar, nvarchar, text, and
ntext data types only.
Why this is not working, according to Books online
Thanks for your time
bye

I have table A (EmployeeNumber, Grouping, Stages)
and
Table B (Grouping, Stages)
Table A could look like the following where the multiple employees could have multiple types and multiple stages.
EmployeeNumber, Type, Stages
100, 1, Stage1
100, 1, Stage2
100, 2, Stage1
100, 2, Stage2
200, 1, Stage1
200, 2, Stage2
Table B is a list of requirements that each employee must have. So every employee must have a type 1 and 2 and the associated stages listed below.
Type, Stage
1, Stage1
1, Stage2
2, Stage1
2, Stage2
2, Stage3
2, Stage4
So I know that each employee should have 2 Type 1's and 4 Type 2's. I hope that makes sense, I'm trying to change my data because ours is very proprietary.
I need to identify employees who do not have all their stages and list the stages they are missing. The final report should only have employees and the associated missing types and stages.
I do a count by employee to see how many types they have to identify the ones that don't have all the types and stages.
My count would look something like this:
EmployeeNumber Type Total
100, 1, 2
100, 2, 2
200, 1, 1
200 1, 2
So I know that employee 100 should have 2 more Type 2's and employee 200 should have 1 more Type 1 and 2 more Type 2's based on the required list.
The problem I'm having is taking that required list and joining to my list of employees with missing data and pulling from it the types and stages that are missing by employee. I thought I could get a list of the employees that are missing information and right join it to the required list where the missing records would be nulls. But, that doesn't work because some employees do have the required information and so I'm not getting any nulls returned.

Hello,I've the following problem. I've to read out the data of a customapplication. I think (I'm not sure) this application is using aParadox DB to store it's information. I don't know it exactly causeI'm not familar with paradox at all, but I've found files like *.db,*.mb, *.px, *.xg*, *.yg* !!!I need the infomation from this files to combine it with other datastored in SQL 2000. I'm tried DTS to import the Data but I've got an"Microsoft JET Database" Error telling me that the table could not befound or that the table has not the asumed format. It depends on which*.db File i try to open. Description: Error calling the OPENROWSETmethod on the provider.My Questions, are there some special drivers i need, not included inMS MDAC Components or must I use a complete Databaseserver in theBackgroud hosting the DB Files. My developer station has the customapplication NOT installed. The db files seems to have no password set.I've got the same error when using MS Access to import the data. Ionly set the path to the dictionary where the files are in but leaveusername and password blank.HOW TO GET THIS DATA OUT ???Thank youTony

I am updating a Sql Server 7.0 DB to Sql Server 2005 Standard
I have to update Sql Server tables with Paradox 4.5 (DOS) data,
with DTS in 7.0 this was no problem.
In Visual Studio I use the OLE DB Jet 4.0 driver with the extended property "Paradox 4.x"
The package runs well if there is no Memofield or the Memofield has only a few characters.
If there is an Memofield filled with more than 250 Characters the preview and the data flow faults.
If I use "DBASE IV" on a dBase-table there is no error, but the NTEXT-Field in Sql Server has only one character " "
What can I do to get Paradox-data with Memofields?
Other problem:
I am missing the OLE DB Jet 4.0 Data Source in the Import/Export-wizard in
Sql Server Management Studio.

I have a Paradox file which has 270 thousand records. If I open this db file through a paradox viewer it shows the correct number of rows.
I have an SSIS package which is suppose to read this db file and insert it into the SQL 2005 table. But when I execute this package it goes into a loop, reading the file over and over again. The package fails after inserting some 10 million rows giving the error msg 'Not enough space on temporary disk'.
On examing the data transfered into SQL there are duplicate rows.
I also used the import export wizard (thinking there might be some error in Package code) provided by SQL to transfer the data from .db to SQL but it has the same result(goes in a loop).
I would appreciate any help in this problem. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks

We used to use DTS to read Paradox files. This is something we do regularly. DTS has a native Paradox driver. This seems to have disappeared in SSIS.
Can anyone recommend the best way to read Paradox Files with SSIS?

Hello All,
I know nothing.
I am helping a friend, current database Paradox 7.x, custom app as I am sure they all are. I wanted to convert this DB to SQL or Access(MS)I do not have Access, but I have SQL 2000. I used the import/ convert tools within SQL, looked good to me, no errors etc.
I thought life was good. Now try to view, look at the data the way
users could. In the SQL manager, I can see tables, and stored procs, and lotsa cool stuff. I try and install SQL client on a PC to view. It basically extends the Admin tools to the deskop PC. How do I use an SQL conversion to realize the needs of the user interface. I think I need what is called a front end. You can stop laughing now.....
Anyway what direction should I take
to update this antique, no support Paradox DB.
Thanks, Dan T

Hello,
I have SQL Server 2000 and I'm trying to import data from a paradox v5 database. Everything has moved over fine but the data from the blob fields. When I use the import tool and try connect to a paradox blob field, the import wizard does not "see" the paradox blob field. here is and example.
If I have a table with the following fields.
id char(20)
description char(120)
image blob
the ms-sql import wizard sees
id char(20)
description char(20)
I find this very odd, but I do need a solution. Any Ideas?
TY

Hello,
Probabaly a silly question yet as a DOTNET developer, I'm trying to simulate DTS when for example, I don't have permission to perform DTS on a production server.
In particular and interested regards caching of rows before the service decides to flush the buffer and write to the target table. Safe to assume DTS is cursor based?

Hi All,
I have few stored procedures which I need to pull reports from. They all work with Temporary tables (#Name1). I am writing a wrapper kind of a SP which will call these SP's based on some inputs. When first I created a dataset with this SP, I got errors that the # tables were not found. I thought using temporary tables is not supported with SRS 2000. But now again I tried and it worked! The only difference now is that the wrapper SP now is on the same machine as the SRS and in the earlier case, it was not. Does that make any difference? Ultimately, will the combination of temporary tables and SRS 2000 work or not?
Please let me know. Thanks a lot...
Manoj.

Some tables i have in a report. A couple of them work, but 2 others dont. I would do it in the query, but then i wouldnt be able to group them in a list.
So my question is, how come i can filter out my BillcustomerCode, but when i want to filter out my subbrand_id (which is an int) or subbran_ Descrition(which is a varchar). how would i filter out these types in the table filter.
Also, how would i do an "Or" instead of an "and" in my filter too.
I have one table where i need to have 3 things not in the table:
Bill_Cus_code !=RNPROF
Bill_Cus_code !=RNPROC
Sub_Brand_Id ! =65 (or Sub_Brand_Discription != "Pro Club")
how do i do this in the expression. It seems to take out "RNPROF and RNPROC" but not the third one. Why is this?

This works.
LOAD TABLE address

Hello all,
I had editted this post to ask a better question.
I had noticed that certain expressions won't work in details. Is this true ?
when I tried using an IIF expression, I always get a blank or an empty field even if it was a text.
could someone clarify this ? I don't know whether it is just me or is it a limitation.

hi,
I have a stored procedure to calculate the balance for a group of people. Inside the sp,
I created a temp table at the beginning of the procedure, then use it to calculate the opening
balance first, then I truncated the table in the middle, reuse it to calculate the closing balance.
The sp will take the from date and the through date to do the calculation. Somehow,
when I passed a different from date and the same through date to the sp, it returned a different
closing balance. It took me a while to figure out that the temp table I was using didn't get
truncated in the middle. I did a 'select count(*) ' directly after the truncate statement.
Sometimes it returned a non-zero number, and sometimes it returned 0.
We are using SQL 7.0 Service pack 1. Does anyone know the reason?

Hi,
I was trying to create a simple SP that return a single value as follows:CREATE PROCEDURE IsListingSaved@MemberID INT,@ListingID INTASIF EXISTS (SELECT [Member_ID] FROM [Member_Listing_Link] WHERE [Member_ID] = @MemberID AND [Listing_ID] = @ListingID) Return 1ELSE Return 0GOWhen I try it out in the Tableadapter's preview table, I get the correct result (1, where the entries exist). However, in the BLL, I tried to get the value as:Dim intResult as IntegerintResult = CType(Adapter.IsListingSaved(intMemberID, intListingID), Integer). However, this always returns 0 (when it should be returning 1). P.S. Curiously, breakpoints skipped the VS generated code for the adapter. What could be the problem? Thanks,Wild Thing

I have a stored procedure with the following:

WITH temp AS (....)
INSERT INTO #t1
SELECT .... FROM temp LEFT OUTER JOIN anothertable ON ...
This stored procedure works fine in Management Studio.
I then use this stored procedure in an ASP.NET page via a SQLDataSource object. The ASP.NET code compiles without error, but the result returned is empty (my bounded GridView object has zero rows). From Web Developer, if I try to Refresh Schema on the SQLDATASource object, I get an error: "Invalid object name '#t1'. The error is at the red #1 as I tried putting something else at that location to confirm it.
What does the error message mean and what have I done wrong?

I'm using a Contoso database running on Power BI Desktop (Version: 2.28.4190.122). The databiase is actually a Contoso.pbix file provided for a book [URL]. I have a DAX query that summarizes a Products table by Product[Manufacturer] and gives a count of products by the manufacturers.My Problem is that the ORDER BY COUNTROWS doesn't work.
why the order by clause doesn't work when I'm confined to the Products table while the order by clause does work when I start with the Sales table? The numbers are correct in both queries.
This query doesn't sort
EVALUATE
SUMMARIZE (
Product,
Product[Manufacturer],
"ProductCount", COUNTROWS ( Product )
)
ORDER BY COUNTROWS ( Product ) DESC
This query does sort correctly
EVALUATE
SUMMARIZE (
Sales,
Product[Manufacturer],
"ProductCount", COUNTROWS ( RELATEDTABLE ( Product ) )
