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?

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.

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 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
Mark

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.

Does anyone know where to find or how to write a quick user defined fucntionthat will return a table object when passed the string name of the tableobject. The reason why I want dynamicallly set the table name in a storedprocudue WITHOUT using concatination and exec a SQL String.HenceIf @small_int_parameter_previous = 1 then@vchar_tablename = "sales_previous"else@vchar_tablename = "sales"Endselect * from udf_TableLookup(@vchar_tablename )So if I pass 1, that means I want all records from "sales_previous"otherwise give me all records from "sales" (Sales_Previous would last yearssales data for example).udf_TableLookup would I guess lookup in sysobjects for the table name andreturn the table object? I don't know how to do this.I want to do this to avoid having 2 stored procedures..one for current andone for previous year.Please respond to group so others may benfiit from you knowledge.ThanksErik

15251204 Name John
25881204 OrganizationGE

Now I want select records as follows:
RecordCountNameOrganization

I’ve written following query for that but it works properly only if all the record count has similar fieldnames.
SELECTCMCF.RecordCount,
CMD1.VALUE AS Name,
CMD2.VALUE AS Organization
FROMCMDATA CMD1
JOIN CMFORMS CMCF ON CMD1.FORMID = CMCF.FORMID AND CMD1.RECORDCOUNT = CMCF.RECORDCOUNT

WHERECMD1.FIELDNAME = 'Name'
AND CMD2.FIELDNAME = 'Organization'
AND CMCF.RecordCount in(1204,1257,1272)
Is there any other way to handle this?

Hi there,
Is there an optimize table command in mssql which will work the same way as "OPTIMIZE TABLE tablename" of mysql?
I have a php application that should work on both mysql and mssql. To do defragmentation, I am using the above command. Is there an equivalent in mssql?
Cheers,
Celia

Hello all,
I have recently started working on a project which involves using MSSQL to access a simple database. I have worked with Postgres SQL before, so I have a general idea of what SQL can be used for, but I'm having some difficulties applying that knowledge to MSSQL.
Currently, I would like to do the following (in abstract terms):
declare tmp record
select column1 from tableA into tmp
for each entry from above selection do
insert into tableB values (tmp[column1], 0, 0, 0)
I remember doing something like this fairly easily in postgres. Trying to put that into MSSQL, I have:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.newDay (@mDate datetime)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @id int
DECLARE item_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT id FROM tblKitchenCat
OPEN item_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM item_cursor INTO @id
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO tblKitchenList VALUES (@id, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, @mDate)
FETCH NEXT FROM item_cursor INTO @id
END
CLOSE item_cursor
DEALLOCATE item_cursor
RETURN 0
END
GO
I get a syntax error next to AS... what is it?
Can somebody please help me out here... any articles related to moving to MSSQL from Postgres would also be highly appreciated.
In addition to that, I would like to schedule a particular function to run once a day, say at 2am. Is there a way to do this using MSSQL?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Michael

Hello all,
I am Using MSSQL and ASP Classic for this project. Let me explain my problem, i have two tables:
Users
ID
Username
ChangeLog
ID
Description
UserID
DateChanged
The Users table will contain one record for each user in the system.
The ChangeLog table can contain any number (including 0) of rows relating to each user, when a change to the users account is made, and entry is put into the ChangeLog table.
The object of my report is to display a list of all users in the system and display the date and description of the last change made to the user.
So far i have written this:
Code:
SELECT Users.ID, Users.Name, ChangeLog.Description, ChangeLog.DateChanged
FROM Users
LEFT OUTER JOIN ChangeLog ON (ChangeLog.UserID = Users.ID)
ORDER BY ChangeLog.DateChanged DESC
However, if a user has got more than one change against it then a row will be returned for each change instead of just showing the latest change. So i then tried this:
Code:
SELECT Users.ID, Users.Name, ChangeLog.Description, ChangeLog.DateChanged
FROM ChangeLog
LEFT OUTER JOIN Users ON (Users.ID = ChangeLog.UserID)
ORDER BY ChangeLog.DateChanged DESC
The problem with this one? It only shows users that have actually had a change made to them, and the report *needs* to display ALL users regardless of wether they have been changed or not.
I'd appretiate any help you can give me at all, thanks in advance!

(i am not sure which forum to post this too)
Hi, I imported a table onto my host's server, table_Login which has username password, and userID. userID is Primary Key & identity.
When I had my code do insert of new user, I was getting error the Login.userID doesn't allow null values. Which shouldn't have mattered because userID is an identity.
After making a diagram from Enterprise Manager, I noticed that I have two Login tables (although only one shows in Enterprise Manager's "Table" node view. The second table, which had none of the constraints that my table of the same name which is listed under the "Table" node does; appears to be the table which is being written to by my code.
I can't find this table, Login(dbo), through Enterprise Manager, nor am i sure how to access it through Query Analyzer. Needless to say, I don't like this arrangement. and well tech support for this host seems to leave a lot to be desired.
Anyone know what needs to be done so that I can fix it or fight with tech support to convince them that they should?

MSSQL noob here. Sorry guys, but I really need some help.
I have a MSSQL (2000) database and a Products Table. Now, there was three columns used for pricing that I was not able to populate on the initial usage. So I exported the table as an Excel document, and got rid of everything except the UID (unique identifier column) the Name, and the Three columns, so that the customer could take their time in filling out the information.
Ok, so These are what are common to both the MSSQL database and the Excel sheet
column uid = unique id integer
column Name = text
column eBay = number
column PriceGrabber = number
column Amazon = number
So, any idea how I can update my Products Table with this?
Please HELP!
