EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ODBC_TEST', 'false', 'sqlLogin', 'sqlpassword', NULL
Getting error : datasource name not found and no default driver specified.
I also attempt to create OLEDB ODBCless link and can't do it because after that I have to change path in TEMP and TMP variables and restart db, but I cann ot restart the server.

Conversion Of DBase II To SQL Server
Aug 28, 2007I have been asked to look into converting a DBase II database on an AS400 to MS SQL Server 2000 or newer running on Windows 2003 or newer.
I know that it can be done but how hard will it be and how long could it take?
Are there any conversion packages out there that will do the majority of the leg work for us?
We also need to convert all of the screens written in RPG to a web based application. We want to get rid of the AS400.
Thanks

Dec 25, 1999Hi,
I have used the backup tool in MS Access 2000.ADP many times
To make a nice backup of my adp Projects server objects(tables & data) that
I have in my MS SQL Sever 7.0 dBase. and then have successfully restored them back to the same computer that I have backed them up to. .
But now I need to transfer server SQL 7.0 DAT backup files over to two other types of computer setups..
I need to transfer these files and import or restore them onto another
computer that has MS Access 2000 and SQL 7.0 on a NT Server 4.0 platform and
also to a computer that has MS Access 2000 and MSDE on a win98 platform..
Have tried many different things but cannot seem to find a way to transfer or restore the SQL 7.0 DAT files to a different named dbase NT server with SQL 7.0 or to a win98 client with a named dbase on a MSDE file. the ADP client portion is just a simple file transfer but these SQL Server 7.0 DAT backup files... argh!
I am completely stumped even after trying many things and consulting the SQL
server manual.

Linked Server To DBASE 5 Tables

Appending Data Changes To A Dbase On A Host Server
Sep 27, 2000Hello,
I need help in generating a stored proc script (SQL Server 7.0)that will:
document the changes of each field in a dbase (SQL Server 7.0)
appending the deltas (changes) to the dbase on a different, say production server for each affected field
prompt the user (dba, developer, super user) for the fields to involve in the comparing and documenting of changes (deltas).
thanks in advance for your help!

SQL Server Linked Table To Dbase III Files
Feb 2, 2005Hi,
I am trying to use linked tables to connect SQL Server 2000 to a legacy system using dbase III files. (I need real time read only access to these files)
I have created a linked table from SQL server to a folder on the C drive which contains the dbase III files, using an ODBC DSN which uses "Microsoft dbase driver (*.dbf)". DSN tested successfully using Excel. Linked server connection is then created using "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers".
The dbase tables appear OK in Enterprise manager, but I cannot get a query to work in SQL Anayzer, using the 4-part name syntax.
My query is just :
SELECT * FROM LinkedTable...customers
Error message is "Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'". Now I am pretty sure dbase files do not support any sort of schema / catalog set up, so I suspect SQL Server is looking for something it is not going to get.
One clue might be that in Enterprise manager, under the catalog column, I get the pathname to the dbase file, ie c:customers.dbf, which I cannot enter in the 4-part syntax.
Any suggestion welcome !!!

Copy Dbase To SQL Performance
Mar 6, 2002I am searching for a better way to move data from DBase3 files into SQL Server 2k. The Dbase file has approximately 2 million records and after applying a SELECT statement to retrieve the data I need to move, there are still over 600,000 records. To move this data I have used DTS (data pump) to transform the data- THIS IS UNBEARABLY SLOW. Next, I created an exe to transform the data to a flat file and then used BULK INSERT to copy the data. The exe is slow, but the BULK INSERT is fast. I have moved the source and destination to the local Server to increase performance, but with little imporvement.
My question:
Is there a better way to move large amounts of data from DBase3 files to SQL Server without waiting 38 hours to move 600,000 rows? Thanks for your help.

Nov 21, 2006Hello all...
I created several SSIS packages on a 32-bit system, using odbc to to access the dbase source file. Finally, after setting up a proxy, etc., we got the package to run and import data. We then needed to move the packages to a 64-bit system. So, we built our manifests, and installed all of our packages. We are using several dtsConfig files for our packages, and in there we specify the DSN that we will be accessing. I understand that MS does not support odbc drivers in a 64-bit world (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=85703&SiteID=1). Has anyone been faced with this issue? How did you get past it? I accessed the 32-bit odbc drivers on the 64-bit system, and i setup a dsn that points to the dbase file, but when i run the job, the log file has an error that the dsn was not found. However, when I run the package itself, it runs as expected...

How To Generaate A Report With ASP.Net From A MS_SQL DBase

My question is, I have a stored procedure in our MS_SQL 7 dbase that pukes out the info in a table with MSAccess. What I would like to do is, have a nice customized report be generated via http link. I designed and made such a report that queries the SQL sp_ with Crystal Report 8 I installed the browser plug in on a test workstation launched the report (via web) and I get prompted for access credentials (username & Password). Nothing works except the sa account in on the SQL server (and I am a sysadmin on that server),. I am giving that up in hopes to achieve this goal with a ASP page, but I really do not even know where to start. remember I have a storeed procedure that does the querying for me, so if there is a way to make "form that queries the sp_ maybe? ...I don't know really new at this.

Foreach Loop For DBASE IV Problem
Apr 17, 2006I've followed the steps on how to use the ForEach loop container using a Flat Text file and it's working fine. I tried reading the text file and put it in my SQL table. However, I have some DBF files as well and the ForEach loop does not work at all with my DBF files.
Here is my scenario:
A connection manager pointed to C:DBF_FILES
On the Control Flow: a Foreach loop container with Foreach file enumerator. (checks for IFUL*.DBF files and retrieves the Fully qualified name.
Within the foreach loop container is my DataFlow (import)
Within the dataflow:
OLEDB datasource
data access mode: Table name or View Name variable
Variable nam: username::Filefound
Now from this point on, I'm already having problems, here is the error:
An OLEDB error has occured.
An OLEDB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers.
Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
Error at data flow task...
There is also some error that say i don't have a destination table specified. Plus the error is on the OLEDB datasource not having a destination table? I don't understand this part.

SSIS Import Of DBase Tables
Feb 4, 2007
I followed the steps outlined in
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337084.aspx
and was successful at importing ".dbf" files from a dBase 7.0 folder.
However, this import was quite slow: approx. 2000 rows per second. Some of the tables I must import have over 8,000,000 rows, which would then take 4,000 seconds, or over one hour. This import rate seems unaffected by whether or not I put a "Copy Column" Data Flow Transformation task between the "OLE DB Source" and "OLE DB Destination" objects.
In SQL Server 2000 it was much faster to import such large tables. The 8 million row table takes only 14 minutes (800 seconds) with SQL Server 2000 -- giving a transfer rate approx. 5 times as fast.
Is there any way to speed up this process in SQL Server 2005? (In SQL Server 2000 there was a "Use fast load" option on the "Options" tab of the "Transform Data Task Properties." I have not yet found any similar option for SQL Server 2005.)
My receiving database is using the "Simple" model, so there is no need to create transaction entries for loading these large tables. There are also no indexes on these tables: the data are being loaded into new tables created in SSIS.
Thanks for your help with this issue.
