Does anyone know how I can, using SQL and/or T-SQL syntax (although I could do a CLR in C# too..), export a SQL table from SQL Server 2005 to a new Visual FoxPro 9 DBF (table)? The DBF would need to be created on the fly too because this will have to basically be able to export any SQL table...
Thanks ahead of time for any and all assistance...
I'm trying to export the data from sql to foxpro dbf file. I can't seem to find the OLE in 2005 any where. Can some one give me the direction how to export and connect to foxpro dbf file from import/export wizard
thanks
I have 2 packages, one to import data from Foxpro to Sql and another to send the data back from Sql to FoxPro.
The time it takes to execute the package that moves 2 million rows of data from FoxPro to Sql takes about 18 to 25 mins. Not bad. However, moving approximately the same number of rows from Sql back to FoxPro takes about 8 hrs. Not acceptable. I have tried several things with no luck.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
I've got about 6000 tables in foxpro 3.0 and a database in sql srv 2000.
now i've to convert the data of these 6000 tables into the database. the problem is that i have to convert all the tables seperatly!
is there a tool where i can convert these tables automatically?
i know it can with DTS, but the 6000 tables are divided over 1400 directories. So with DTS i can't convert them automatically.
does anyone know a solution?
I didn't want to maintain similar/identical tables in a legacy FoxPro system and another system with SQL Server back end. Both systems are active, but some tables are shared.
Initially I was going to use a Linked Server to the FoxPro to pull the FP data when needed. This works. But, I've come up with what I believe is a better solution. Keep in mind that these tables are largely static - occassional changes, edits.
I will do a 1 time DTS from FP into SQL Server tables.
I then create INSERT and UPDATE triggers within FoxPro.
These triggers fire a stored procedure in FoxPro that establishes a connection to the SQL Server and fire the appropriate stored procedure on SQL Server to CREATE and/or UPDATE the corresponding table there.
In the end - the tables are local to both apps.
If the UPDATES or TRIGGERS fail I write to an error log - and in that rare case - I can manually fix. I could set it up to email me from within FoxPro as well if needed.
Here's the FoxPro and SQL Server code for reference for the Record Insert:
FOXPRO employee.dbf InsertTrigger:
employee_insert_trigger(VAL(Employee.ep_pk),Employ ee.fname,Employee.lname,Employee.email,Employee.us er_login,Employee.phone)
FOXPRO corresponding Stored Procedure:
FUNCTION EMPLOYEE_INSERT_TRIGGER

nhandle=SQLCONNECT('SS_PDITHP3','userid','password ')
IF nhandle<0
m.errclose=.f.

USE tisdata!errorlog IN SELECT(1)
m.errclose=.t.

I know that the DTS Wizard is supposed to be able to handle heterognous
data imports but I can't get it to work with a free FoxPro table. I have to export to a text file and then import from the text file and spend an hour renaming columns and farting around with datatypes.
CAN I GET A FOXPRO TABLE INTO SQL SERVER DIRECTLY OR NOT?
HOW DO I DO IT?
I don't fully understand some of the questions the DTS Wizard is asking. Can anybody give me a blow by blow account before I ring the Samaritans?
Thank you and Happy Christmas - it may be my last if I can't speed up these imports. Either I'll jump under a bus or my boss will make mince pies out of me.
Thanks

Hello All,
Does anyone know how to convert data in a Memo field from Foxpro into a Text field in SQL table? Straight import via DTS package seems to entirely ignore this memo field and result in blank.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Using the Import/Export Data Wizard, I'm trying to export a FoxPro 2.5 DOS (as dBase III) table of 15,000 records to SQL Server 2000. I keep getting this error message:
Insert Error, Column 32 ('PROG_START',DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), Status 6: Data Overflow.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
I have SQL Server create the table each time I run the wizard. The new table allows NULLS in this column and I made sure to overwrite the empty date fields in the FoxPro table with blanks to make sure it would result in NULL. Originally SQL Server tried to put this as SMALL DATETIME, but when I got the message earlier, I changed it to DATETIME.
Any suggestions?
I'm running SQL Server 2008 (x64) version.
How can i create a linked server for Microsoft Visual Foxpro databases ?
I'm using Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver.
I success create a linked server, and can browse all tables from linked server connections, but why when query data using
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(PIP_TEST,'select * from tbctrl')
It getting error message
Cannot process the object "select * from tbctrl". The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "pip_test" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object.
I have two tables in a SQL server 2005 database. They have the same column names. I want to append older date captured in one table to the other. When I run a script to insert the data I get an identity error. Please help.

Hoe can i correct some data in a table? We have imported data from a number of hospitals (hospital ID, room number, bed) Something went wrong during the import and wrong data are imported, so we see the room and bed numbers of location 195 as being room and bed nummers of 190. I have tried to import the correct data using the wizard but i get an extra table instead of correcting the table with the wrong data. It has to be an easy way to do this? I have tried to export them in Excel, i have corrected the data and then i imported the data again. Could anyone please help me? Thanks

how should I go about exporting a couple of columns of data from a specific database table to an excel spreadsheet stored locally on a client machine (the one the script is being executed from). I am using SQL server 2000 SP3.
I'm fairly new to using SQL server, and not experienced at all with Transact-SQL.
I found toll for migrating FoxPro( 2.6 and 3.0) databases to Oracle but I need one
for FoxPro DB to MS-SQL. Any idea where to find it( if there is any ?)

Hello everyone,My company uses a FoxPro database right now as an interfaceand a database. For our situation, I have come to the conclusion thatit would be a better choice for us to move to an SQL server of somesort. I have been given the task of overseeing the overhaul on theprogram. I am paranoid about security and uptime, and so is the CEO andthere is more and more demand for the company to get on the interactiveinternet. I'd like our clients to be able to submit data to ourdatabase and pull data from it (only certain data of course). My ideais to convert the FP tables to and SQL server and write an internalapplication(or web-based - advantages? I dunno) for the interface. Forthe internet side of things, my idea is to have seperate web database(SQL) that will put information from web clients. Through the internalinterface, internal users would then be able to pull data from the webdatabase to the internal SQL. And through the internet (authenticatedof course), the web users would pull data though the web database, whopulls information from the internal SQL database. Would someone pleasetear this idea apart w/ advantages and disadvantages. Also, if this isthe best route, tell me how I can sell this idea to my boss. What's sogood about using SQL vs. FP over the internet? What about internally?What about security? Cost is going to place a big role on the what theCEO decides, unless I can sell him otherwise. Should I tell him that weshouldn't do it now and save some money to do it right? Or what? Somehelp please. Thanks.Alex

Using SQL Sever 2005 Express and Visual Web Devoloper Express.
I'm trying to get data from my local SQL sever database to my shared hosting database. SImple enough but...
1.) GoDaddy does not allow remote connections to the DB server
2.) With GoDaddy you can't just upload an .MDF file to your remote directory and script a connection string. You have to reference the DB server. Can't upload DB file to DB server.
As a work around, I've seen several .sql files that have all the T-SQL that will create a database and tables then insert the data. I've google'd extensively and searched several forums with no luck as to how to export my local data to file. I could then copy and paste into an online utility GoDaddys has to insert the data.
Is there a relatively easy way to export table data to a .sql file??? When I try using SQL Server Management Studio Express and "Scipt Table As> Insert To> File", It just gives me something like the following...
INSERT INTO [pubs].[dbo].[authors] ([au_id] ,[au_lname] ,[au_fname] ,[phone] ,[address] ,[city] ,[state] ,[zip] ,[contract]) VALUES (<au_id, id,> ,<au_lname, varchar(40),> ,<au_fname, varchar(20),> ,<phone, char(12),> ,<address, varchar(40),> ,<city, varchar(20),> ,<state, char(2),> ,<zip, char(5),> ,<contract, bit,>)
Plenty of data in this table, no data in script ???
Can SQL Server Management Studio Express do what I wanting to do? If not, any suggestions? Know of a better hosing company?

I am trying to export a text file to a table using enterprise manager
and all tasks
But the process keeps adding strange charater like squares at the end
of each line and also replaces each empty line in the text file with a record in the table with that square type character. I used the following code to delete all rows with that character (as a work around) but no joy. I am losing hope.
Code is
DELETE FROM table1

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a de-normalized table that I need to export to XML using For XML, but put all of the related rows under the same node.The table is alot more complicated than the example below, but for proof of concept purposes, i'll keep it really simple:

C1, 6.00
C1, 10.00
C2, 1.00

<Price value="10.00"></Price>
</Campaign>
<Campaign name="C2">

<Campaign name="C1" price="4.00"/>
<Campaign name="C1" price="6.00"/>
<Campaign name="C1" price="10.00"/>
Is there an existing option that deals with this automatically, or do I essentially need to do a group by to output the campaign element, and then union an ungrouped select to output the price element?
