Problem importing data from Interbase using DTS

Hi im trying to import a old Interbase 6 database using MSSQL 2000 DTS
import wizard.
Im using Firebird / Interbase 1.5 ODBC driver as provider for the Interbase.
Everything works perfect if i choose to import one table at a time. But if i
choose 2 or more the wizards excutes the DDL (tables ar created) then it
just locks up. No error, just no progress. I have tried other ODBC provider
but with the exact same result.
Any idea why the DTS Data Iimport wizard locks up?
Thanks in regards
Anders, Denmark
Hi
If the ODBC driver does not return control to DTS, DTS looks like it has
hung.
That indicates a problem with the driver as not with DTS.
This problem does not occur with Oracle, Access or SQL Server drivers.

Strange. Do you know of any Interbase ODBC provider wich is "compatible"
with DTS import?
I have tried:
EasySoft ODBC for interbase
XTG ODBC for interbase
FireBird / Interbase ODBC for interbase
IBProvider ODBC for interbase
All with the same result. Creates DDL then hang when starting to convert
data, if one table is choosen it works perfectly.
Suggestions to ODBC drivers?
Anders
|||Hi Anders,
I am using the Gemini Firebird / Interbase ODBC Driver for exactly what you
are trying to do. We're slowly converting all our clients from Interbase to
SQL Server. I use this driver for a DTS package which pulls about 80 tables
from Interbase source into our SQL Server target database. However, I use an
individual Transform Data task for each table. It's a nightmare to maintain
as we evolve the database structure but it runs really nicely, with multiple
TD tasks executing in parallel.

We try to create views on the IB database wich match our new tablestructure
seems quite maintainable not sure though. Anyway. I have already tried with
the Gemini ODBC driver...same results. Its real strange. Because everything
else works.
|||Which Task are you using to transfer the data?
It sounds like you're issuing SQL to insert into X select * from Y? This is
conveniently maintained, but you can't do this with the Data Pump. Or can
you?

Problem expanding a Db table (SQL Server 2000)

Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) Error 1827: CREATE/ALTER DATABASE
failed.

There's more, but it's in italian and I wouldn't know how to translate it
properly.
It basically says that the requested size is exceeding some 2048mb limit.
I can't see any limitation of this kind in the license. Is there something I
am missing here?

Thank you in advance

Better to post the message than no message at all. Anyway, I found message
1827:

CREATE/ALTER DATABASE failed because the resulting cumulative database size
would exceed your licensed limit of %d MB per %S_MSG.

Which edition do you have? I know that MSDE has a limitation of 2GB for a
database. I don't remember if this applies to Personal Edition as well.

If you are using MSDE, beware that your license for Enterprise Manager
does not entitle you to connect to MSDE with it.

Unluckily I discovered we're running MSDE. Now I am up to buy the full SQL

problem copying database from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005

Hi,

I have right now sql server 2000 instance installed on a server (serverone) which is accessed on all nodes through an ODBC connection.

Now we have upgraded our server to windows server 2005 which will be on other machine servertwo. I have right now installed sql server 2005 in servertwo. Wish to copy the database from serverone to servertwo. Once it is copied and everything is working fine. I want to uninstal sql server 2000 from serverone.

What is the best way to do this? I am trying different things like tried running code Advisor on serverone which is not recognising the sql server 2005 instance of servertwo. It's giving message as since the sql server is installed on default settings it can't be accessed remotely. I see that SQL server 2000 database is accessible on all nodes including servertwo. Why is it that servertwo sql server is no where accessible?

What it is that I am missing?

Kindly help me.

Thanks, regards.

Shobha

You're really asking two questions, I think.

1. Why is servertwo not accessible?

With SQL Server 2005, we disabled a number of features by default to provide better security. You can easily adjust the settings at any time by using the Surface Area Configuration tool, available from the Start menu.

2. How do I move my databases over to servertwo?

There are several ways to do this. One way is to use sp_detach_db on serverone, then copy mdf and ldf files to servertwo and use sp_attach_db.

Paul

|||

Thanks for the reply Paul.

Is it that the datatbase should be exclusively available when doing sp_detach_db?

thanks

Shobha

|||

Hmm, good question, and a glance at BOL didn't pop the answer.

I don't believe you need exclusive access; I assume the operation is transactional so it'll wait for open transactions to complete before executing. But as I said above, the documentation of sp_detach_db doesn't make this clear. The documentation does list a few other requirements (e.g., if the database is replicated, it must be unpublished).

|||

Thanks Paul for that answer.

If you don't mind can I have sample code or instruction list on how to use the sp_deattach_db and sp_attach_db commands, this will be the first time that I will be using these commands since earlier I was working only with MSAccess database.

will be greatful if you can give me directions.

thanks

You can run have SQL Server inspect the data with the ISDATE( ) function to

if you have bad data you'll get an error with that select and then you can
easily track down the row with the bad data. "basically dates" is not good
enough for a data type conversion. sorry if i double posted this.|||This only works if you have a column called "ROWID" I do not believe SQL

hi thanks for the help, in the end i exported the data to access (no
problems) converted the field types in access
dropped the data from the sql table - and changed the field types and
re-imported back in - without any hangups
or errors - odd but still its done now!

it also only works if you have a table named table1 and that table contains at

I been in same position once, my date format in string was dd/MM/yyyy
to change the date format you must use convert(datetime,'mm/dd/yyyy') if you change the column format from nvarchar to datetime it will not work. what you should to is create another column with datetime format while your current column is in use. then run a procedure to pick date from the nvarchar date column, use convert and save it into column with datetime format.
Test your data
If everything is fine, backup your table and delete column with nvarchar format
Test your application or modules using that table

Problem converting C application from using DBLIB bcp to using ODBC bcp.

I have an application that was converted from using DBLIB bcp to using ODBC bcp. All other field/data types bind are updated correctly, but dates put in the date

1753-01-01 00:00:00.000 when it should be NULL. The variable is a char [24] and the first item is set to \0 ( dbLoanBankruptcy.MotionforReliefReqDate[0] = NullChar; ).

Is there any example or way to put the date in as null when the variable is null and an actual date as needed?

bcp_bind(LoanBankruptcyDBPPtr, (BYTE *)&dbLoanBankruptcy.MotionforReliefReqDate, 0, 23, NULL, 0, SQLCHARACTER, 13)

Following site maybe helpful:

|||The link above only discusses dates enough to get an actual date into a table, but does not discuss how to get a NULL date stored. Is there a way to save <NULL>?

What protocols are being used by the client and what is the

Are the client network utilities on the clients having the

Thanks for the links, studying them now but have moved my database to
another server and things are going better! Still want to get to the bottom
of the problem.

Problem connection to SQL Server with ODBC

Hi,
Getting very frustrated by the following problem, using SQL Server 2000 (inc
SP3a), using an application that connects to a DB via ODBC and the following
error message comes up:
Connection failed:
SQLSTATE: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 1703
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen
(Connect()).
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error:17
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]SQL Server doe
s not exist
or access denied
When setting up the DSN the test works fine as does query analyzer, pretty
sure it's not the application I'm using as the SQL server connection window
that comes up after the initial error (above) gives the same error message.
Any ideas? Help is definitely needed before I tear my hair out!
Thanks
IanWhat protocols are being used by the client and what is the
server listening on?
Are the client network utilities on the clients having the
connectivity problems?
Are you using an alias for the connection?
What version of MDAC on the clients?
From your description, it sounds like the app tries to
connect twice (which is fine) but that it's just not hitting
the right protocols. You can find information on how a
client runs through the protocols trying to connect in this
article:
INF: SQL Server Clients May Change Protocols When They Try
to Connect
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=328383
You can also find some general troubleshooting for the error
