DTS And Importing From Filemaker
Dec 26, 2006When I import from filemaker it gives me a error. Is it any way I can disable the datatypes, so that it willl accept the strange datatypes in SQl Server? I think it's a way in DTS.

Hi,
I need to set up an automated transfer of data from a FileMaker database to a SQL 2000 database, so I can build a cube on these data.
Is it possible to make a connection via ODBC to make this datatransfer possible? Is the ODBC driver a part of the FileMaker package or do I have to tell my customer to purchace an add on application?
Hope someone can aid me
Has anyone successfully connected to FileMaker using SQL Server's Linked Server feature? I've tried every possible combination of entries into the Linked Server dialog box, but no success. I know my ODBC System DSN works because I can extract and update data in FileMaker using MS Query (from within Excel).
Thank you,
I've developed a number of databases in FileMaker for a client, and am now in the process of converting them over to SQL Server. During the transition, there will be duplicates of tables in both platforms, so I must design a method of data synchronization, so that data maintenance need only be done in one database, not both. I've done it with DTS, but that's certainly not the most efficient. Instead, I'm trying to implement Linked Servers within SQL Server so that data can be updated dynamically with SQL statements. Has anyone ever had the pleasure of trying to do this? If so, would you mind sharing with me how you completed the Linked Server dialogue box (see attached) to connect to FileMaker.

I have read the help files that we can connect to filemaker database via ODBC.
I have tried to create DSN for that, but when I tried to connect using that DSN my C# application, It failed to retrieve the catalog information, it said that login failed.
I have no idea what the username and password that I have to used in my connection because as i knew that filemaker only use password, and i have tried to use that password too.
I never used filemaker before, but this time i need to retrieve data from filemaker, so please help :)
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

Hello everyone and thanks in advance.
Ok, here's the deal. I am 1 of 2 developers at my organization, the other is a COBOL programmer. Long story short, every night he sends me a 22MB XML file containing our company's inventory. This contains about 40,000 items. In C#, I'm basically looping through all the XML nodes and on each node I load up an object with the particular properties (manufacturer, SKU, serial number, etc.) and call a Stored Procedure to to save the item.
In saving the item, I'm checking to see if it was already in my inventory and I either perform an update or an insert on the table as approriate. The query does a couple of other things like retreiving the Purchase Order Number, Cubic Feet, etc. from other tables. All in all, the query takes about 1-2 seconds to complete. I've optimized the query as much as I know how (including the addition of indexes), but this still takes at least 6 hours to complete the 40,000 items. Is this the best approach? Any other suggestions?
So far the only things I've thought about changing is:
1. Break it out into multiple queries to avoid poor compilation of execution plans
2. Multithread the C# app so that I'm running like 10 queries at once.
3. Get the COBOL programmer to give me a delimited file and do a BULK INSERT on it into an empty HEAP, then run a single INSERT and a single UPDATE (using CASE statements)
Again, Thanks in advance!

It is now saved in a file called Shortages.vb.

My question is, how do I solve thos problem!
Do I have to use DTS?
What do I have to do.

Hi, i've struggled in the past to get ms sql 7 db's from one server to another server and always end up getting frustrated. I usually just export and then import..... more work but it does the trick.
Now i've been sent one single db data file that i'm told is a backup copy of someones database. How do i get this loaded onto my server. I've tried restoring from this file but it complains that the backup file is not for the database i'm restoring to.... which is correct.... this has to be something that many people deal with? isn't it?
Can someone please help me out.... some pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I am importing via DTS a .csv file. I have 2 issues:
-One field from the source needs to be inserted into two existing fields.
-Two fields from the source, First_Name and Last_Name need to be
concatenated to a destination field, Full_Name.
I do not know VB but I do know SQL.
Can anyone help?

Is there any way at all to import from Excel to MS SQL without using the DTS package and without doing it manually? I really do not like the lack of flexability that DTS has and I need something else that will always work. Basically I am importing shipping documents that are in excel and putting them into a table. This has 2 issues, 1 I don't know the file name, just the folder it is in and 2 there is a large amount of header data in the file, some of which I need, some of which I don't. Is there any solutions out there? Thanks!

I have a range of IDs that skipped at one point so I have a range from 1-500, then the rest starting at 6000. I want to fill in some of the rest when I import new data.
Let's say I have 300 records. I want to start the ID at 501 and go to 801. How do I do that when I'm importing.

Hi there, could let me know how to reference to an excel database in SQL code?
I think
Select * from OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.Jet.OleDB.4.0', 'EXCEL 8.0;Database=C:MyExcel1.xls',Sheet1$)
Would import everything from a spreadsheet but im not sure how you can reference individual columns?
I need to copy the data in two spreadsheets into two
tables in "SQL Server 2000". Below are the details:
One spreadsheet contains the data that needs to be added
to an existing table in SQL server. All field names in the
spreadsheet match the DB table column names.
Another spreadsheet contains the data that needs to be
copied to a new DB table. The table currently does NOT
exist in the DB.
I'm not sure how to accomplish this. ANy help would be
appreciated.
