Sep 13, 2007First, let me start by saying I know the answer to this, but due to politics any answer I give will be viewed with some disdain and disbelief.
A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.

UNIX Time Conversion Functions
May 28, 2006A common problem in moving data between SQL Server and UNIX systems is converting to/from the SQL Server datetime format to the UNIX time format.
There are several UNIX time formats, but the most common is a signed 32-bit integer that represents time as the number of seconds between 1970-01-01 00:00:00 and a given time. The functions in the script can be use to convert between SQL Server datetime and this UNIX time format.
For more information on UNIX Time, please read this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time
For more information about SQL Server date/time conversions, refer to this link:
Date/Time Info and Script Links
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=64762
The conversion of UNIX Time to SQL Server datetime is fairly trivial using the SQL Server DATEADD function, and this is the logic used by the F_UNIX_TIME_TO_DATETIME function in the script:
declare @UNIX_TIME int
select @UNIX_TIME = 1111111111
-- Using dateadd to add seconds to 1970-01-01
select [Datetime from UNIX Time] = dateadd(ss,@UNIX_TIME,'1970-01-01')
Results:
Datetime from UNIX Time
------------------------------------------------------
2005-03-18 01:58:31.000
(1 row(s) affected)
The conversion of SQL Server datetime to UNIX Time is more complex. SQL Server datetime is accurate to milliseconds so is necessary to either truncate or round off the time to a whole second. The function in the F_DATETIME_TO_UNIX_TIME script rounds the time down if milliseconds is less than 500 and up otherwise. A second problem is that UNIX Time is an integer, so it can only represent time from 1901-12-13 20:45:52 through 2038-01-19 03:14:07. The range of SQL Server datetime is 1753-01-01 through 9999-12-31, so the function in the script has logic to return a NULL if the datetime is outside the valid UNIX Time range. Another minor issue is that the SQL Server DATEDIFF function will not cover the full range of an integer value with seconds, so it is necessary to have additional logic in the function do cover the time from 1901-12-13 20:45:52 to 1901-12-14 00:00:00.
The function names created by this script are:
dbo.F_DATETIME_TO_UNIX_TIME( @DAY )
dbo.F_UNIX_TIME_TO_DATETIME( @UNIX_TIME )
The script also includes code to test and demo the functions.
if objectproperty(object_id('dbo.F_DATETIME_TO_UNIX_TIME'),'IsScalarFunction') = 1
begin drop function dbo.F_DATETIME_TO_UNIX_TIME end

Is There A Way To Call Remote Unix Scripts?
Jun 25, 2007I know that Unix and Windows don't mix very well in more than one way. However, the reality is that most places use both and it appears that SSIS (out of the box) has just about zero support for heterogeneous environments. Has anyone come up with a way (kludge will be gladly accepted) to execute a unix script on a remote unix host? Is anyone using any third-party product like MKS with SSIS?
On a similar note, can you use the execute process task to execute remote windows commands?
