Data transfer(UNIX)

  • Does anyone know how to transfer data from a text file in a UNIX server directly into a SQL Server table. The important thing is that i don't want to transfer to the actual Windows O/S but directly into SQL Server 2000.

    Regards

  • Our UNIX person used PCNetLink to share the directory in UNIX so the directory can be seen by NT/2000 machines. Once it can be accessed from SQL Server, You can use DTS to load the data.

  • In addition to what Allen said, you might want to take a look at http://www.unixodbc.org or http://www.samba.org (which I would consider not that easy to implement)
