Im quite interested to see if any one is using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0 in an SSIS package. Is it possible to use this for free table directory like you can with the ODBC driver. ????
thanks kindly
My basic proccess is as follows: The source foxpro database has hundreds of dbf files ---the SSIS procress is as follows
1: Copy only required dbf files and/or matching .fpt files over to local drive on SSIS box(we only need 10 files)
use MS Visual Foxpro ODBC driver (free table option) and set up a system DSN--dataflow tab---datareader source--and away you go
I am using OleDbMicrosoft OLE DB Rpovider for Visual FoxPro for my Data Source Connection and it includes the deleted records from the Visual FoxPro database, how can it have it ignore the deleted records?
Hi, I have 2 separate clients experiencing this problem, Both systems are 1.Win 2000 Server with Small Business Server 2000 (SP4) 2.SQL Server 2000 (SP2 upgraded to SP4, SP4) 3.Exchange 4.IIS etc
We use SQL Server to connect to FoxPro 2.6 Tables.
We are using OPENROWSET as follows:
Select * from openrowset('VFPOLEDB.1','C:Client Data';;,'Select * from cm')
We are now getting this error: Server: Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Could not fetch a row from OLE DB provider 'vfpoleDB.1'. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'vfpoleDB.1' IRowset::GetNextRows returned 0x80040155].
The statement worked up until around 20 days ago, which made us think that it may be windows updates/sps/hotfixes, but i have installed the above on a test machine and installed all windows updates and the test machine works AOK.

Today was my first day to use DTS. I tried to transfer a Visual FoxPro Database to my SQL Server. I noticed that I am getting errors on the data that contains date fields. So, for testing purposes I transformed the Visual FoxPro fields that contained datefields into char fields. And this works, but obviously I cannot hunt around in a huge database looking for datefields in tables and change them manually. Plus, by changing to char fields I noticed that those fields that are empty are transformed as 1899-12-30. :p
Using: Visual Web Developer Express SQL Express IIS 6.0 with >net 2.0 Installed Visual Foxpro
I actually have two questions (but am making good progress so will focus on the issue at hand).
1. I setup a Login.aspx / Default.aspx / Register.apsx / Membership.aspx as specified in the examples in MSDN...all is working ok.
2. When I register a new user, I wanted to capture their Customer ID during login to store in their Membership view table. I did this and is working ok....and to make it easy, am storing the value in Comments field.
3. I want to query a Visual Fox free table (DBF) that contains my client's Customer Invoice data...and have the ODBC Connection setup and working properly.
Here's the problem....
I'm having trouble formulating the SELECT string within the asp code to capture the Membership.Comments field.
I need the proper functions to grab the Comments field data and then use it within my select statement.
Presently, the query works if I just hard-code the value i.e.
"SELECT * from [invdata] WHERE cus_no = '1' "
I need to replace the '1' with the comments field data.
Thanks:
On a side issue: it took me days to just to get this all working to where it is...does anyone have a detailed example of how to Login to a site and pass the parms to another page to query the Logged In user's data from a database......a real world example that I have yet to see highlighted anywhere in the Forums or books I've bought.
For example: I am customer ABC123, I log in to my vendor's site and want to see all my orders placed.
I am trying to add a FoxPro linked server to MS SQL 2005, and I can't seam to create a linked server that works. What am I doing wrong in linking the server?
I have an ODBC connection that worked but not OLEDB; how can I do this with OLEDB (either VFPOLEDB or Jet, if it will work) and not ODBC.
This is what I thought was right
Code Snippet
sp_addlinkedserver 'test',
'FoxPro',
'VFPOLEDB',
'C:DataSomeDatabase.dbc',
NULL,
NULL,
NULL
But it gives the error:
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "VFPOLEDB" for linked server "test".
Also I know in MS SQL 2000 once you linked a server you could view it in EM, but when I linked the VFP via ODBC I could query agianst it, but I could not open it in Mangament Studio.
Since my foxpro OLE driver has been rendered useless by service pack 1 for sql server 2005 I am forced to use the .net data provider for odbc.
I am importing a number of tables.. each time I add the DataReader Source to the dataflow and connected it to the OLE DB Destination I get a load of the good old "cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types" errors...
So I'm having to do derived column transforms, for each and every column that it coughs up on.
Using expressions like (DT_STR,30,1252)receivedby to convert the "recievedby" column to a DT_STR,
Some of these tables have 100 string columns.. so I'm getting a bit sick of the drudgery of adding all these derivations...
Is there any way to tell this provider to stop deciding that the strings in the foxpro tables are unicode?
I've downloaded and installed the latest VFPOLEDB (12/04) on 2 separate SQL Server boxes.
In both cases, If I connect to SQL Server with Query Analyzer as (local) while on a box, the linked server to my foxpro database works fine with openquery().
However, If I'm at one box and attached to SQL Server on the other box, the openquery() fails.
--this works on either (local) box SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(VFP, 'select * from tislists') Go
--but, the same openquery() above doesn't work if the box I'm running it from is attached to the SQL Server on the other box. I get:
Server: Msg 7302, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Could not create an instance of OLE DB provider 'VFPOLEDB'. OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: CoCreate of DSO for VFPOLEDB returned 0x80040154]. ===================== One other approach I tried that works while on the (local) box, but fails when attached to the SQL Server on the other box:
select * from openrowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver=Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver;SourceType=DBF;SourceDB= \hdmcpdctis1 isrnddata ', 'select * from [tislists.DBF]')
With error: Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver does not support this function] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ]. ===========================
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.
Windows XP Pro - Sql Server 2005 Management Studio (current) - current visual foxpro oledb driver
I have an origin data folder with many foxpro dbf files
When I go through the "wizard" to import data from the origin folder using the "free table" option, I can locate the folder just fine. The form shows me a list of the files in the folder - but I cannot scroll through the list.
When I select the folder and continue, I test the connection and get a message that it is fine.
Then I go on to actually import tables. The list that is presented of tables that I can import does not include all the dbf files in the folder. There are 207 files in the origin folder, but only a fraction (about 120) of those show up in the list as candidates to be imported. I cannot see a pattern to the ones that are excluded from the list.
Does anyone know what could be causing this strange behavior?
This is a Execute DTS from VFP Example I found. Does anyone have a snippet for executing an SSIS package?
Thanks, Shannon

I created a package that extracts records from a .DBF file into an SQL Server database. I installed a Visual FoxPro plugin (vfpoledb). When I run the package from my PC, it runs smoothly. But, when I try to run the same package in another PC, it displays a DTS_E_OLEDBERROR "Class not registered" error. Anyone has an idea about what this means? thanks in advance.
I am unsure if this is the correct forum to send this question, but I can't seem to find any information regarding this problem. If this is the wrong place, please direct me to the correct spot.
I am attempting to import data from a free tables FoxPro database to SQL 2000 using a DTS Package which has worked correctly every day for the past 2 years. Yesterday, I got an error.
The package has around 10 tables that it deletes, re-creates, and populates with data from the Foxpro. All of the tables except one work correctly.
When I try to do an explicit import using the ODBC connection to populate that one table, I get the following error: Context: Error calling Openrowset on the provider.
I created an access database on my local computer and setup an ODBC connection and link tables to the database to see if it would work, and it did. So I thought there might be something wrong with the ODBC data source on the SQL Server, so I deleted it and created a new one, used it and I receive the same error.
I thank you in advance for any assistance or direction you can provide me for finding an answer.
I have a query that executes just fine except that it won't recognize varchar(255) ( or any other value within the () ) and if I leave it off like this: varchar, then it executes but it leaves that value as 1 and that is just not very useful for my purposes. This also happens with anything else that requires () to add length such as char(), or nvarchar(), etc... Any ideas?
I have a report that accessed a Visual FoxPro 6.0 database via ODBC. Since I upgraded to Visual FoxPro 9.0, now I am getting the error:
Query Server Error DMS-E-RBI_TABLE The table or view <table name> was not found in the dictionary
I've verified that the right path is setup and I've tried installing about every driver and none of them are working. I created a new database in 9.0 and the I can access it fine. Also, there are old tables that are accessible in the same path, just not the ones I need. Any ideas would be helpful..
Hi all,I am fairly new to using triggers and was seeking some help from thosethat have experience with them. I am looking to transfer data from aSQL 2000 database to a Visual FoxPro database on another computer. Iwould like to transfer about three fields of data to a VFP table eachtime an insert is made on the SQL table. I am some what familiar withthe structure of creating the trigger but here is what I would likehelp with: Selecting the SQL data to transfer, Connecting to VFPdatabase, Insert SQL data into VFP table.CREATE TRIGGER [xyz] ON [dbo].[AAA]FOR INSERT??? Select a,b,c from SQL table??? Connect to VFP Database and Table??? Insert into VFP table Values a,b,cAny information, tips, or even an example Trigger procedure would helpand be greatly appreciated.Thank you,Brett
1.In configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog, I click New.
2.In Connection Manager dialog ,I choose Native OLE DBMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for DB2.
3.In Connection Manager dialog I click the "Data Links" button. Now I am on "Data link property" dialog.
4.On connection tab, I enter fmdb for data source, which is my remote database name. On Network section I choose TCP/IP Connection and set the right IP/Port. Uncheck Single sign-on and enter the user and password. Then comes the Database section. Database name fmdb for Initial catalog,"fmdbrun" for Default Schema, then what is Package Collection?(My db2 database is in a AIX/RS 6000 box).
5.On advanced tab, I choose DB2/6000 for DBMS platform, ISO 8859-1 Latin-1(28591) for Host CCSID, and ANSI/OEM Simplified Chinese GBK(936) for PC Code page, then what's Default qualifer, I eft blank.
6. Then I switch back to "connection" tab, if I left "Package collection" blank and click "Test Connection" button,I got "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing the provider.- invalid parameter". If I use FMDBRUN(the default schema) for "Package collection" and click "Test Connection", I got "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing the provider. - The network connection was terminated because the host failed to send any data. SQLSTATE:08S01,SQLCODE:-605".
I want to use Visual Basic to create DTS connection. In the example below a connection is created using an ODBC string. However, I would like to make the Connection's DataSource be an OLE-DB provider instead of ODBC. However, I cannot find any information on the syntax for using an OLE-DB provider as the DataSource.
Your help is appreciated.

I issued the following set of statements against an Oracle 8.0.6 table linked to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 (SP2):
BEGIN TRANSACTION DELETE FROM ORACLE_DATABASE..SCHEMA1.TABLE1 WHERE COLUMN2=123.45 ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
and received the following message:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' does not support distributed transactions.
I searched BOL and found this sentence:
To perform distributed transactions between SQL Server and Oracle, you must use Oracle version 8.0.4.1 or later.
What am I missing? Is there a higher version of Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle that supports distributed transactions (we are using the one that comes with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 installation)?
Anyone knows where I can find and install the above driver. Trying to use Link Server from SQL 7.0 to access AS400 database using OLE DB option. Urgent matter... Help!!!!
Have already tried to find and install this driver using SNA Client Software with out any success. SQL 7 does not come with this OLE DB drivers. Any idea where I can get it.
I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?
I'm not able to see microsoft ole db provider for odbc drivers on sql server 2005. Anyone know which driver I should install to see it? I'm trying to create a linked server from as400 to SS2K5.
I have a vb 6 app that exports data from sql to excel. The user has the ability to select either local or server. When they select server, the connection string is modified to include the server name instead of the local msde instance to look like this:
I'm using Microsoft Jet Provider 4.0 and OpenDataSource.
SELECT * INTO TempXL FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source=C: estxltest.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...[Sheet1$]
This code works fine when user is accessing msde on local, but when using above DSN, I receive the following message:
"2147217900 - OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEdB.4.0' IDBInitialize:: Initialize returned 0x800040005: The provider did not give any information about the error.]
When I trace the connection, these error messages occur:

I am especially puzzled by the second message because I am specifying the database name in my connection string as:
I have a web service contained in a apache tomcat server and I try to execute a webservice and store the result into a flat file.But I have a message saying me that there is an error in the xml document. I suppose that it's my wsdl file. But my wsdl file is fine!!! Can the error come from the provider of the web service (Apache Tomcat). I suppose that because in every example on the internet I didn't see an example an tomcat or other web server use.
I finally made data transfer between AS400 and SQL2005 work by using Microsoft OLE DB provider for DB2. I have tried other methods, some do not have build-in destination, some have unicode conversion problem. The only issue I have with this method is the peformance. For example, 300,000 rows load from AS400 take only 3 minutes with the ODBC connection in DTS, but more than 5 minutes with the microsoft OLD DB provider for DB2 in SSIS.
Does anyone have the same issue or figured out any tweaking that may speed up the transfer?
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" has not been registered
Enviromnet :
Windows 2003 64 bit with SP1 and sql 2005 installed.
Same code is executing fine in my local machine which is XP 32 bit.
Can some one help me in resolving this issue.
Also when I tried to check the providers by expanding the linked servers node in the SQL server management studio . i couldnt found the provider for jet.
