DTS From Informix Database
Jan 14, 2004Hi,
I want to transfer data from an Informix database using DTS. What driver do I need to use for that? What are the settings for the Data Source Name? Has anyone of you accomplished DTS from Informix to SQL Server?
Let me know if you have any ideas that you can share.
Thank you.

Connect To Informix Database
Apr 9, 2008Hi everyone. I'm trying to switch from using Access, to using Sql Server to create my databases. The first thing I'd like to do, is connect to our CMS (Call Management System) to start creating reports on some of our data. I can't seem to figure out how to connect to it though. In Access, I use an ODBC connection. I installed a "Generic 32 Bit Driver" and I created a .dsn file called Lucent.dsn that Access uses to connect to the Informix database. I guess my question is, what is the connection string and where does it go? I've searched on this forum and on a few others and I can't seem to find help for someone as new as me!
Thanks for any help!

Problems Linking To A DB2 Database
Apr 30, 2008Hi,
I'm going to be extracting data from a DB2 database on an AS400. I've set up the Datasource ok, and have created a Datasource View. There are about 5 tables in the view so far, taken from 3 DB2 libraries. This is fine, but the tables in the view have no field definitions in them, and I can't access the data. If I try I get an error message:
Code SnippetSQL0104: Token . was not valid. Valid tokens: , FROM INTO.
Cause . . . . . : A syntax error was detected at token .. Token . is not a valid token. A partial list of valid tokens is , FROM INTO. This list assumes that the statement is correct up to the token. The error may be earlier in the statement, but the syntax of the statement appears to be valid up to this point. Recovery . . . : Do one or more of the following and try the request again: -- Verify the SQL statement in the area of the token .. Correct the statement. The error could be a missing comma or quotation mark, it could be a misspelled word, or it could be related to the order of clauses. -- If the error token is <END-OF-STATEMENT>, correct the SQL statement because it does not end with a valid clause.
The connection has Force Translate set to 0 which solved a problem with incorrect data coming back when I connected using a quick C# program.
Any ideas?
Need Some Assistance Linking An Oracle Database
Dec 15, 2004I'm trying to set up an Oracle database as a linked server in SQL server 7 but having some problems.
The client software is installed and seems to be working fine (Used access to link some tables). I set the product name to Oracle 8.1 and the Datasource to the system dns name. I left provider string, location and catalog blank. Under the security tab I had it set to map to the oracle account and also tried the impersonate option, but always got the same error.
Error: 7399 OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed]
ORA-12640: Authentication Adapter initialization failed]
This is my first time trying to set up and Oracle database as a linked server, any help is appreciated.

SQL Server Versus Informix
Oct 25, 2000Hi all,
Anyone here ever used the Informix database and can give me some differences between Informix and SQL.
One of our users is thinking about purchasing a COTS product that only supports an Informix database. I need to convince the user to evaluate other rival applications that can support SQL and need some arguments in favor of not going with Informix.
Any ideas appreciated,

Link Informix To SQL Server
Oct 6, 2006Hi,
I am considdering to link a Informix database (running on SCO Unix) to a SQL Server 2005. Only problem is ... I have no idea how to do this! The reason I'm attempring this is to try and see if it would fix a problem I'm experiencing when using Reporting Services to generate reports from a Informix data source. I've been told that setting up a linked server might fix the problem. If anyone could perhabs guide me through setting up the linked server I would be very grateful! The ODBC credentials for setting up a connection to the Informix DB as follows:
Servername : pal_tli
Hostname : server_name
Service : pal_ser
Protocal : sesoctcp
Database : db_name
Username : user_name
Password : pword

From Student
Query 2
Database ::Finance

FROM Payment
I need to be able combine two query which come from two database but they share one server.I would like to use two temp tables so that I can perform a left / right join to retrieve the data by linking two queries using primary id which they both share ( StudentID)
Summary : I have two DB's on the same server. I have two simple select queries for each DB which work correctly.

Downloading Data From Our Informix Server
Jan 7, 2004Our entire sales database sits on an Informix server and users run their reports directly to this server.
Because of the volume of data - upwards of 7 million rows in some tables we are finding performance is becoming an issue. We realise that Informix is not the best for running queries and so are looking to replicate to a SQL server and use that as a reporting server.
My chosen method is DTS using ODBC which works fine. However due to the sheer volume of data to be downloaded each night (over a 512K wan link) we only want to download changed data.
Is there any way we can get SQL2000 to download only change data - i.e a differential download or something? We don't have a unique field in the table (for whatever reason) such as sales date or transaction ID (shops might upload old / back-dated transactions for example due to a systems failure).
If I do have to download all the data every night is my method the most efficient or is there some other approach I could use?
Ultimatly the aim here is to relieve the Informix server of the reporting overhead so any alternative ideas are welcome!
Many thanks
Transfering Data From Informix To Sql Server

Queries Against Linked Server To Informix Via ODBC Errors
Oct 9, 2007What can be the reason(s) why I can't get data from a linked server using an ODBC datasource that works fast & fine from MS Access?
I have an ODBC connection (System DSN) configured for an Informix ODBC driver.
The Test button (belonging to this driver-setup) reports a successfull connection test.
Getting data from this database by linking tables in MS Access works fast and easy.
But I have tried for many days now to setup a linked server from SQL Server (2005)
Creation goes fine, but as soon as I issue a query, (e.g. 'select * from infrem723...remotetable' or using 'openquery')
I get the following error:
---
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "infrem723" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "infrem723".
---
Why is Access able to read what "MSDASQL" cannot?
I am desperate - can anybody help?Thanks a lot!

Linking 6.5 Server
Mar 8, 1999I can't seem to link a 6.5 database from 7.0 and there's nothing in help which seems to help. Is it a "SQL Server" or do you have to use the OLE DB Provider? If the latter, what's supposed to be in the Product, Data Source, Provider String and Catalog fields? What about security? I've tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work. I also get errors creating a new DTS package that says "Could ot create Component Categories Manager", and then "Error during creation of DTS Package". I installed the desktop version of 7 on an NT Workstation. Has anyone successfully linked a 6.5 server in this environment?
