Conversion Help

  • I was given a Watcom .db file to convert into SQL Server. Any ideas how to do it?

  • In SQL Server terms, you have been given a .mdf file.

    You will need to install the Watcom DBMS software first before you can begin.

    You could try installing the latest version of SQL Anywhere available at http://www.sybase.com/products/databaseservers/sqlanywhere/ and then connecting the watcom.db file.  This may not work as the Watcom name was dropped with Version 4 circa 1995 and SQL Anywhere is now at version 9.

    Alternatively, the Watcom software has the capability of generating the DDL (create table statement) and also creating a file for the data of each table.   This might be simplier.

    P.S.

    Please refer SQL Anywhere questions to the Sybase newsgroup at http://www.sybase.com/support/newsgroups
