currently i'm working with informix db server which is not in local, where can't connect from outside office or virtual lan, so there is any tools so i can copy all table and work locally,
thanks in advance
You can export database to text using dbexport and import it locally using dbimport. There are other way of migrating database, but for small databases it should work. The data is in text so it may be easy to change something (for example data format), or even use such export to import data to other database. Have a look at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.mig.doc/mig138.htm

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm currently not able to create a table on one of my company's databases, and I got a project where I need to break down and get stats from a large data file. I can open it in Excel, but its not very happy about it. What I'd like to be able to do is create a local database where I could use the import wizard to import an excel file to a new table. Is this possible? If so, how would I do it?
SQL server has a free express edition of their database http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/sql-server-editions/sql-server-express.aspx. It probably has a cumulative data limit though (Oracle express does, I don't know much about sql server express).
I need to export the db including all the tables from SQL Server and then to import it to another computer with SQL Server.
I tried to do:
tasks-> generate scripts
But when I tried to import this db
by attach he doesn't recognize this file.
how should i do it correctly?
we did our project on my friend computer but i want to get it for myself to...
What you tried is to generate the scripts in order to create the database structure (if you want to use these scripts you need to execute them from SQL Management Studio on your other computer). That's a good solution if you only want to create the database structure on another computer.
If you want to restore the database on another computer with all the structure and data of your database, right-click on your database from SQL Management Studio -> Tasks -> Back Up.
After creating a backup of your database you simply need to copy the generated file to another computer and proceed the restore process.
Here is a link that explains the entire process: Create a Full Database Backup
Hope this will help you.
You can use Backup\Restore technique to make exact copy of your database, But like you said, you only want your tables to be transferred so you can use 'SQL Server Import Export Wizard' for the same.
Right Click on db -> tasks -> Export data
Using above option you can store all data into a flat file also and take that flat file to destination and import the same.
I have a SPSS file saved as a .sav that I am trying to migrate into a Postgres db. I tried using the SPSS export to database, but that does not seem to be working (still waiting to hear back from IBM). I also tried to export as a .csv and import it in via a GUI, Navicat, but the default data type is varchar(255) and can't detect the correct types. I can't sit down and create the tables manually as there are 640 variables.
Just as some other info there will be multiple of similar files going into multiple tables with around 250,000 tuples/table. If there is some sort of script that can automatically detect schema and let me export it or a software that does that or can accept .sav, willing to try pretty much anything.
It sounds like you have a problem with the ODBC driver. You might need a new one from the Data Access Pack or a native driver from the database vendor.
I need to import to Access a .sql database backup file created with MySql .
Is there a way to perform this operation?
You can't restore a MySQL backup into any other database system.
If you want to import the MySQL data into Access, you could export it all into CSV files and import those to Access. You will still need to recreate relationships, defaults, indexes (?) and other data.
You can import SQL Server data into a new Access table. In general, importing is a way to convert data from a different format and copy it into Access. The source table or file is not altered in this process. You can import directly from a SQL Server database using an ODBC connection, a text file exported from SQL Server, or an XML file exported from SQL Server.
To make frequent import operations more convenient, you can automate them by creating a macro or creating a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) procedure. This is useful, for example, when you import data on a regular schedule or you have unusual or complex requirements for importing data.
if you use SQL Server Management studio then you can open the .SQL files and it will give you help in figuring out what syntax works in SQL -- and which doesn't.
For example, if you have a table name that is mis-spelled, SQL Server Management Studio will give you red squigglies under that table name.
I don't see that functionality in Access, and I don't think that it's coming any time soon. Access (Jet) hasn't gotten any new features in almost fifteen years.
I want to import data from MS SQL Server, run it through some sort of regexp to filter out stuff, and import it into MySQL. I then, for each query, wish to display a relevant image from a third database. What would be the easiest way to do this, importing and linking wise?
Thank you.
Clarification: It is a php application to filter data from another database, and then for each record show an associated image from a 3rd database. It is from scratch...
You can try the MySQL Migration Toolkit.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
Now archived at http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php?p=mysql-migration-toolkit
use SQL Management Studio (or Enterprise Manager depending on version) with the SQL Server import wizerd to get it into MS SQL.
From there you can export it to Mysql using the MySQL connector drivers.
As for as displaying an image from a third database, that is completely up to the code you have written in your application.
I would use the Microsoft SQL Server Data Publishing Wizard (free). You can use it to script your entire database (including insert statements.) You'll have to edit this script a little bit probably to get it to run in MySQL. Now you just have a regex problem. You can try:
Manipulating the data in MS SQL via a query, or from code (using regex) the transfer.
Running your regexes on the script file itself, maybe try some macros, find and replace, etc.
Manipulating the data in MySQL via a query, or from code (using regex) after the transfer.
