I need to transfer seven tables from Informix DB to SQL Server every night. Any suggestions for the best way of doing it? Is DTS the best way? How about through replication?
Thanks in advance.
I've read about using starsql odbc and sql server 7.0 DTS utility to transfer the database or data from a DB2 to SQL Server.
I have a SQL Server 6.5 and need to transfer data from a DB2. Is the operation the same? Is there a utility in sql server 6.5 that allows this?
How can I make a connection in SSIS Data Flow to connect to DB2 on the mainfrain? Have several DTS packages in SQL Server 2000 that uses the ODBC connection.
Please help!

View 2 Replies View RelatedOur 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

View 4 Replies View RelatedDear all DBA,
i really need some help from all of you.
I currently have some DTS package which will transfer data from
text file to the SQL 7.0
This transformation is schedule using the Sql Agent.
The problem is the transfering data which have the Date datatype.
the Date format is in the dd/mm/yyyy. But the default language i set in my
sql server is english which suppose will use the date format mm/dd/yyyy.
therefore, the Sql server will treat my data which in dd/mm/yyyy as mm/dd/yyyy. so, the data like '08/09/2000' (in dd/mm/yyyy) become '08/09/2000'
(in mm/dd/yyyy)
i already set my user'language who will login in the sql agent as 'british english'. I also the OLE connection in the DTS package that i built using 'british english'.
when i run the agent in the Sql Enterprice Manager, it use the dd/mm/yyyy format which is correct. BUt when i log out and let it run as services which mean let the agent excute the DTS. it use back the mm/dd/yyyy fromat which cause the data become wrongs.
i hope someone can give me some advice on this.
Thanks for your help

Hi!
I'm trying to import data from an Informix Database to my SQL Server 2005 database with the import/export wizard.
I have an ODBC-connection that works, Access fetches data with no errors. From the wizard I can only choose to use the IBM Informix OLE DB Provider as datasource. As fare as I know the OLE DB Provider is using settings from the ODBC-driver?
In SQL Server 2000 there is a posibillity to choose Other(ODBC provider) as datasource which works against this database. Any ideas how i can use an ODBC-datasource?
If I try to use the IBM Informix OLE DB Provider I get an error message after the first step of the wizard:
Cannot get the supported data types from the database connection "Provider=Ifxoledbc;Password=;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=uid;Data Source=db@server".

IErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_NOINTERFACE(0x80004002).
IErrorInfo.GetDescription failed with E_NOINTERFACE(0x80004002). (System.Data)

Anyone have any experience with this problem? I can't find any information that will solve this, but I have seen several questions about this.
I would be very grateful for some help!

I have an application that runs off an sql server 2000 sp3 database. I have taken a backup (.bak file) of the production database and restored it to another server for testing purposes. the users cannot login to the new server because the logins have not been transfered to the new server. I am looking to transfer the logins using the procedure outlined at the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133/ under the header "Create and Run Stored Procedures in the Master Database". what I need to know is will this procedure affect the production server in any way? (I can't have that) and is there anything else I need to do after this to let the users login to the test server with the same name and passwords?
thanks for any help
Has anyone had a problem transfering a database to a server.
This is the first time I have done this.
I have a site and sqldatabase hosted by a hosting company and I am supposed to transfer my database
This is what I'm doing
From the Start Menu, select "Programs" -> "Microsoft SQL Server" -> "Import and Export Data" then click "Next".
In the "Server" field, type in the Name or IP of the source server (your server), choose "Use SQL Server Authentication," type in your username and password, choose your database from the "Database" field, click "Next".
Note: You can also use Windows Authentication if the SQL server is a local server.
In the "Server" field, type in the hostname of the DiscountASP SQL Server (this is listed in your hosting control panel), choose "Use SQL Server Authentication," type in your DiscountASP database username and password (this was sent in your database order confirmation email), choose your database from the "Database" field, click "Next".
Choose "Copy objects…", click "Next".
Uncheck Use Default Option.
Click Options, uncheck "Copy Database users and database roles", "Copy SQL Server logins", "Copy object-level Permissions".
Leave next window as is, click "Next".
Click "Finish".
It seems to work ok untill it gets to about 90% done then a message says "There has been an error" and gives no more info.
Can anyone help me out

Hi 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,
Faustina
Hi,
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
:confused:
