C++/Unix/SQL Server
Jun 20, 2001
I am very new to this board and I am not sure whether the following question belongs to this board. I will ask it anyway.
Can someone tell me where (book or web site or an example) I can go to learn how to be able to connect to a SQL Server database in a unix (in my case Solaris) environment using C/C++. I have been doing database programming using Oracle, Acess on NT with C/C++/ODBC comfortabley. I just need to learn how to go about in a Unix environment.

First, let me start by saying I know the answer to this, but due to politics any answer I give will be viewed with some disdain and disbelief.
A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.

Are there any tools for installing SQL Server on a unix machine? (It seems to me like 6.5 might have been the last version that worked on unix?)

We are running SCO Unix 5.0.5. We need a command line sql client that can connect to a MS SQL server running on a windows server. Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't want to write a sql client. I just want a command line sql client binary that is ready to work.
I want to do something like this in a unix shell script:
# sql -s 10.1.2.3 -u username -p password -f sqlcommandsinafile.txt -o sqlresults.txt
Any help would be appreciated....

I've got a question about the UNIX timestamp solutions, I am using this one:
select convert(datetime, switchoffset(convert(datetimeoffset, dateadd(second, start_date, '19700101')), datename(TzOffset, sysdatetimeoffset())))
from x
This works great for today (wintertime), but when I query the past, say last week, it will still hold the current offset of my server GMT+1, where it was GMT+2.
Is there a way to get always the right date/time from a sql-query?

I was a Oracle Developer / DBA on Unix Environments all along my career, Very recently iam starting to manage a SQL Server 2005/Windows 2003 Server setup.
Part of my new job is to automate to load Huge Data files/Flat Files (3/4 GB in size) into SQL Server 2005 DB.
Have these initial questions..
Since the files are too large to open at once... What sort of Command Line Interfaces people use on the Windows Boxes.. like doing a "wc" (Word Count) / GREP 'ng Files / Massaging Data Files one line at a time (Like using SED / AWK Commands).. Etc
Any Input / Direction is appreciated...

Hello,
How can I assign the ODBC Database(Progress) on UNIX as publisher and SQL Server as subscriber. When I use the Enterprise Manager, I cannot see the Unix Server. I just can see the server and database in DTS.
Would you please explain the steps?

Hi,
We are trying to move our application from SQL2005 to SQL2005, we are using 2005 jdbc driver 1.1.
The problem we have is, when a date is retrieved from the database, only the year part got correctly, but the date is automatically set to January 1 of that year. The interesting thing is this problem doesn't occur on local development environment (developer's windows platform), it only happens when we deploy the application to production server (unix).
Does anyone know what is going on, how to fix it?
Thanks.
Cathie

Is it possible to insert a timestamp into a db if it's in this format?
Sep-04-13 07:13
I don't need it to stay in this format. I just need to know if I can cast it as a unix timestamp somehow & insert or if the manipulation to the datetime fomrat has to happen before inserting.
