i'm trying to move a table of data from the fox to the sql2000.
I'm using dts to point a connection to a particular table in fox, and setting the destination to my sql database.
i select 'create table' and it makes the table in sql for me.
i click on the transformations tab, and it sets up the transforms. no problem.
when i execute, i'm getting these generic errors ('cannot convert data type') or some such bs. the error does not tell me WHAT TRANSFORMATION or what source field is causing the problem.
so i manually went and eliminated each dts transform (one at a time) and ran till i found the offending dts transform.
so i figured this one out.
here's my question:
WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT! what can i do to get dts to tell me what friggin transform is the offending transform?
I've got several HUNDRED tables to convert yet, and if i have to do this again i'm going to jump off a tall building.
there's got to be a better way...When we moved our data from Visual FoxPro into SQL Server we used the Upsize Wizard from within Visual FoxPro. It was pretty painless (although I believe we had to add all of the free tables to a database). Would this work for you?
