Hi,
I have been told, I will have to transfer some paradox data into sql server 2005.
What is the best way to do this? i.e. if SSIS can be used, then what will be the source? I ask because there does not seem to be a source for Paradox.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks
I've been programming in Paradox since DOS, but one mail-order database is getting rather large (100K client records, and associated orders, etc).
Our client wants us to move to Filemaker. In fact he'd like to have a 3rd party write the programme and me maintain it. The current package has been written & maintained by myself, with an awful lot lot going on in the Object PAL code.
I already have a copy (legal) of SQL Server & 10 licences for Access, and think that's a better option to re-develop in (although I could do with some training in both).
What are the pros & cons for each app, and what would people recommend. I'm going to cross-post into Access, Paradox & Filemaker forums to get an equal view.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to import a Paradox 8 db into SQL Server 2000 using DTS but the list of data sources in the connections dialog only caters for version 5.x or older. Does anybody know how to get the data source for v8?
If not, is there any other quick and efficient way to import a paradox 8 db as I have to import around 15 of them to do.
Thanks
I've never really setup or used MS SQL Server (just a couple hours, oneday, several months ago). I think MS SQL Server has the ability to use"linked tables", like MS Access does. Is this correct? What I want todo is have an MS SQL Server setup, which compatible applications cantalk with, but I want the data to come from a Paradox database. I canuse any MS SQL version, whatever would work best. I'm not sure aboutthe Paradox version, I know it is an old DOS version. I can't justconvert the data to another format, because Paradox still needs to useit.I tried using MS Access before, with ODBC drivers it *should* be ableto work with the Paradox data. However, I ended up with lots of datacorruption. I'm hoping MS SQL Server may work better, and not corruptthe Paradox data everytime it is updated.

hi all,
The PATINDEX function is not working with the image datatype in SQL Server.
The books online says that you can use PATINDEX with the image datatype.
Unfortunately it seems to be big lie.
How can I get the functionality of PATINDEX worked.
This is how I placed my SQL Query
declare @p binary(16)
select @p =0xFFFFF30A000000008400000001000000
select patindex('%DEFG%',image) from image where textptr(image) = @p
The error I am getting was
Server: Msg 288, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
The PATINDEX function operates on char, nchar, varchar, nvarchar, text, and
ntext data types only.
Why this is not working, according to Books online
Thanks for your time

Hello,I've the following problem. I've to read out the data of a customapplication. I think (I'm not sure) this application is using aParadox DB to store it's information. I don't know it exactly causeI'm not familar with paradox at all, but I've found files like *.db,*.mb, *.px, *.xg*, *.yg* !!!I need the infomation from this files to combine it with other datastored in SQL 2000. I'm tried DTS to import the Data but I've got an"Microsoft JET Database" Error telling me that the table could not befound or that the table has not the asumed format. It depends on which*.db File i try to open. Description: Error calling the OPENROWSETmethod on the provider.My Questions, are there some special drivers i need, not included inMS MDAC Components or must I use a complete Databaseserver in theBackgroud hosting the DB Files. My developer station has the customapplication NOT installed. The db files seems to have no password set.I've got the same error when using MS Access to import the data. Ionly set the path to the dictionary where the files are in but leaveusername and password blank.HOW TO GET THIS DATA OUT ???Thank youTony
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am updating a Sql Server 7.0 DB to Sql Server 2005 Standard
I have to update Sql Server tables with Paradox 4.5 (DOS) data,
with DTS in 7.0 this was no problem.
In Visual Studio I use the OLE DB Jet 4.0 driver with the extended property "Paradox 4.x"
The package runs well if there is no Memofield or the Memofield has only a few characters.
If there is an Memofield filled with more than 250 Characters the preview and the data flow faults.
If I use "DBASE IV" on a dBase-table there is no error, but the NTEXT-Field in Sql Server has only one character " "
What can I do to get Paradox-data with Memofields?
Other problem:
I am missing the OLE DB Jet 4.0 Data Source in the Import/Export-wizard in
Sql Server Management Studio.

I have a Paradox file which has 270 thousand records. If I open this db file through a paradox viewer it shows the correct number of rows.
I have an SSIS package which is suppose to read this db file and insert it into the SQL 2005 table. But when I execute this package it goes into a loop, reading the file over and over again. The package fails after inserting some 10 million rows giving the error msg 'Not enough space on temporary disk'.
On examing the data transfered into SQL there are duplicate rows.
I also used the import export wizard (thinking there might be some error in Package code) provided by SQL to transfer the data from .db to SQL but it has the same result(goes in a loop).
I would appreciate any help in this problem. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks
We used to use DTS to read Paradox files. This is something we do regularly. DTS has a native Paradox driver. This seems to have disappeared in SSIS.
Can anyone recommend the best way to read Paradox Files with SSIS?
I'm fairly new to SQL Servers and have Paradox 8 installed. Does anyone know how to setup a linked server in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 so that the SQL server can access Paradox 7 tables?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello All,
I know nothing.
I am helping a friend, current database Paradox 7.x, custom app as I am sure they all are. I wanted to convert this DB to SQL or Access(MS)I do not have Access, but I have SQL 2000. I used the import/ convert tools within SQL, looked good to me, no errors etc.
I thought life was good. Now try to view, look at the data the way
users could. In the SQL manager, I can see tables, and stored procs, and lotsa cool stuff. I try and install SQL client on a PC to view. It basically extends the Admin tools to the deskop PC. How do I use an SQL conversion to realize the needs of the user interface. I think I need what is called a front end. You can stop laughing now.....
Anyway what direction should I take
to update this antique, no support Paradox DB.
Thanks, Dan T
Hello,
I have SQL Server 2000 and I'm trying to import data from a paradox v5 database. Everything has moved over fine but the data from the blob fields. When I use the import tool and try connect to a paradox blob field, the import wizard does not "see" the paradox blob field. here is and example.
If I have a table with the following fields.
id char(20)
description char(120)
image blob
the ms-sql import wizard sees
id char(20)
description char(20)
I find this very odd, but I do need a solution. Any Ideas?

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.

I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I'm really new to the whole database deal (as well as VB.net) - specifically with the capabilities surrounding VB and SQL Server 2005. My question is open to any recommendations...
What I have is an application that a user uses to create 'new' products. They are presented a form to enter the information regarding the product they wish to create. They enter the details of the product and also locate an image that represents the product, too. Currently, this application saves the product information (including binary image data) into a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database. This application and database reside on a client pc. What I need to do is to be able save updated and newly created product data into a file of some sort. That file will make its way to a memory stick (USB) and then be transported to a 'field' machine. Quite simply, what is the best way to do this? Are there walk-throughs on this sort of thing? The target database is also SQL Server 2005. I thought I'd post this question on here to get the best design ideas... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can SQL Server 2005 Express coexist with SQL Server 2005 developer edition on the same PC?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I just installed my VS 2005 Pro (full installation) and it installed Sql Server Express 2005. I also have a CD for Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition which I have not installed yet. My need for Sql Server on my development machine is for building and testing apps - just myself - no users will be hitting my sql server on my PC. Most of the time I hit my web server's sql server but also want the engine on my PC for when I'm offline.
Question: Should I install the developer edition and remove sql server express? Doesn't the developer edition more closely emulate the full-blown sql server, just that it only allows one or a few users to hit for development and testing purposes? At the same time, sql server express is scalled back in that it doesn't have all the goodies?
Thanks!
