DTS from DB2 to SQL Server 2000

  • I am trying to pull data from IBM DB2 tables into SQL Server 2000 with DTS. I am getting an error from my sequelink odbc driver that we use to connect to the DB2 tables. It says the table name is too long and has a maximum length of 18 and the DB2 table name is 20 characters. Is there a way to get around this? This is only my second DTS package I have tried to do.

  • Have you installed the latest DB2 client on the machine running the SQL Server? Or what version are you using of the DB2 client, mine is version 8.

  • I know that we are using version 7. We currently connect through Websphere, but I also have an Intersolv 3.10 32-bit Sequelink ODBC driver installed on my machine. Where can I get an update client for Version 7?

    I don't exactly know how to solve but you can cahnge the name of your table?

     

  • Your vendor who sold you DB2 or IBM should b able to help get the correct client driver. Otherwise you could get a DB2 DBA to build a view of the table with a shorter name for you if you need a quick solution to use.
