Error Exporting FoxPro 2.5 DOS Table To SQL Server
Mar 1, 2006
Using the Import/Export Data Wizard, I'm trying to export a FoxPro 2.5 DOS (as dBase III) table of 15,000 records to SQL Server 2000. I keep getting this error message:
Insert Error, Column 32 ('PROG_START',DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), Status 6: Data Overflow.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
I have SQL Server create the table each time I run the wizard. The new table allows NULLS in this column and I made sure to overwrite the empty date fields in the FoxPro table with blanks to make sure it would result in NULL. Originally SQL Server tried to put this as SMALL DATETIME, but when I got the message earlier, I changed it to DATETIME.
Any suggestions?

I know that the DTS Wizard is supposed to be able to handle heterognous
data imports but I can't get it to work with a free FoxPro table. I have to export to a text file and then import from the text file and spend an hour renaming columns and farting around with datatypes.
CAN I GET A FOXPRO TABLE INTO SQL SERVER DIRECTLY OR NOT?
HOW DO I DO IT?
I don't fully understand some of the questions the DTS Wizard is asking. Can anybody give me a blow by blow account before I ring the Samaritans?
Thank you and Happy Christmas - it may be my last if I can't speed up these imports. Either I'll jump under a bus or my boss will make mince pies out of me.
Thanks

I'm running SQL Server 2008 (x64) version.
How can i create a linked server for Microsoft Visual Foxpro databases ?
I'm using Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver.
I success create a linked server, and can browse all tables from linked server connections, but why when query data using
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(PIP_TEST,'select * from tbctrl')
It getting error message
Cannot process the object "select * from tbctrl". The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "pip_test" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object.

I didn't want to maintain similar/identical tables in a legacy FoxPro system and another system with SQL Server back end. Both systems are active, but some tables are shared.
Initially I was going to use a Linked Server to the FoxPro to pull the FP data when needed. This works. But, I've come up with what I believe is a better solution. Keep in mind that these tables are largely static - occassional changes, edits.
I will do a 1 time DTS from FP into SQL Server tables.
I then create INSERT and UPDATE triggers within FoxPro.
These triggers fire a stored procedure in FoxPro that establishes a connection to the SQL Server and fire the appropriate stored procedure on SQL Server to CREATE and/or UPDATE the corresponding table there.
In the end - the tables are local to both apps.
If the UPDATES or TRIGGERS fail I write to an error log - and in that rare case - I can manually fix. I could set it up to email me from within FoxPro as well if needed.
Here's the FoxPro and SQL Server code for reference for the Record Insert:
FOXPRO employee.dbf InsertTrigger:
employee_insert_trigger(VAL(Employee.ep_pk),Employ ee.fname,Employee.lname,Employee.email,Employee.us er_login,Employee.phone)
FOXPRO corresponding Stored Procedure:
FUNCTION EMPLOYEE_INSERT_TRIGGER
PARAMETERS wepk,wefname,welname,weemail,WEUSERID,WEPHONE
nhandle=SQLCONNECT('SS_PDITHP3','userid','password ')
IF nhandle<0
m.errclose=.f.
IF !USED("errorlog")
USE tisdata!errorlog IN SELECT(1)
m.errclose=.t.
ENDIF
SELECT errorlog
INSERT INTO errorlog (date, time, program,source,user) ;
values (DATE(), TIME(), 'EMPLOYEE_INSERT_TRIGGER','nhandle<0 PARAMS: '+STR(wepk)+wefname+welname+weemail+WEUSERID+WEPHO NE,GETENV("username"))
IF m.errclose
USE IN errorlog
ENDIF
RETURN
ENDIF
nquery="exec ewo_sp_insertNewEmployee @WEPK ="+STR(wepk)+",@WEFNAME ='"+wefname+"',@WELNAME ='"+welname+"',@WEEMAIL ='"+weemail+"',@WEUSERID ='"+weuserid+"',@WEPHONE='"+wephone+"',@RETCODE =0"
nsucc=SQLEXEC(nhandle,nquery)
SQLDISCONNECT(nhandle)
IF nSucc<0
m.errclose=.f.
IF !USED("errorlog")
USE tisdata!errorlog IN SELECT(1)
m.errclose=.t.
ENDIF
SELECT errorlog
INSERT INTO errorlog (date, time, program,source,user) ;

I have a report that accessed a Visual FoxPro 6.0 database via ODBC. Since I upgraded to Visual FoxPro 9.0, now I am getting the error:
Query Server Error
DMS-E-RBI_TABLE The table or view <table name> was not found in the dictionary
I've verified that the right path is setup and I've tried installing about every driver and none of them are working. I created a new database in 9.0 and the I can access it fine. Also, there are old tables that are accessible in the same path, just not the ones I need. Any ideas would be helpful..

After installing sql2005 sp2 a simple select query to a linked server reports the following error message:
Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Before installing SP2 we used sql2005 without any service packs, the linked server worked fine.
The linked server is a Visual FoxPro database.
After uninstalling and installing the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0' the issue stil remains.

Hi,
I've got about 6000 tables in foxpro 3.0 and a database in sql srv 2000.
now i've to convert the data of these 6000 tables into the database. the problem is that i have to convert all the tables seperatly!
is there a tool where i can convert these tables automatically?
i know it can with DTS, but the 6000 tables are divided over 1400 directories. So with DTS i can't convert them automatically.
does anyone know a solution?

Does anyone know how I can, using SQL and/or T-SQL syntax (although I could do a CLR in C# too..), export a SQL table from SQL Server 2005 to a new Visual FoxPro 9 DBF (table)? The DBF would need to be created on the fly too because this will have to basically be able to export any SQL table...
Thanks ahead of time for any and all assistance...

Hi there!
This is a part of the XML file that I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" standalone="yes" ?>
- <NewDataSet>
- <xschema id="NewDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urnchemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
- <xs:element name="NewDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
- <xs:element name="HdrStateProv">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xsequence>
<xs:element name="stateProvID" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="stateProvNme" type="xstring" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="CountryID" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0" />
</xsequence>

</xschema>
- <HdrStateProv>
<stateProvID>34</stateProvID>
<stateProvNme>Alabama</stateProvNme>
<CountryID>225</CountryID>
</HdrStateProv>
As you can see it just has all the 50 states and I have a datatable called HdrStateProv with three fields, stateProvID, stateProvNme, CountryID in my SQL Server Express. How would I import(map) this data there? I tried the sqlbulkimport KB article but does that not seem to work. Thanks for your time!

Hi all,
I created a package that extracts records from a .DBF file into an SQL Server database. I installed a Visual FoxPro plugin (vfpoledb). When I run the package from my PC, it runs smoothly. But, when I try to run the same package in another PC, it displays a DTS_E_OLEDBERROR "Class not registered" error. Anyone has an idea about what this means? thanks in advance.

Hello All,
Does anyone know how to convert data in a Memo field from Foxpro into a Text field in SQL table? Straight import via DTS package seems to entirely ignore this memo field and result in blank.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi,
I have 2 separate clients experiencing this problem,
Both systems are
1.Win 2000 Server with Small Business Server 2000 (SP4)
2.SQL Server 2000 (SP2 upgraded to SP4, SP4)
3.Exchange
4.IIS etc
We use SQL Server to connect to FoxPro 2.6 Tables.
We are using OPENROWSET as follows:
Select * from openrowset('VFPOLEDB.1','C:Client Data';;,'Select * from cm')
We are now getting this error:
Server: Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Could not fetch a row from OLE DB provider 'vfpoleDB.1'. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'vfpoleDB.1' IRowset::GetNextRows returned 0x80040155].
The statement worked up until around 20 days ago, which made us think that it may be windows updates/sps/hotfixes, but i have installed the above on a test machine and installed all windows updates and the test machine works AOK.
Has anybody seen this error?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
There is an issue at my company that creates a lot of confusion. Some people blame the slowness of queries on the FoxPro database, so we're considering to migrate to MS SQL Server.
What is the real difference between MS SQL Server and MS FoxPro?
Isn't MS SQL Server supposed to be faster? (It's a high-performance and very mainstream database, where I personally never knew anybody who used FoxPro). Some people claim that FoxPro performs faster in benchmarks. Is it true? If it is, why don't most people use FoxPro?
Also, when buying the database software for the server, which one is more expensive?
I would appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

Hi,
Today was my first day to use DTS. I tried to transfer a Visual FoxPro Database to my SQL Server. I noticed that I am getting errors on the data that contains date fields. So, for testing purposes I transformed the Visual FoxPro fields that contained datefields into char fields. And this works, but obviously I cannot hunt around in a huge database looking for datefields in tables and change them manually. Plus, by changing to char fields I noticed that those fields that are empty are transformed as 1899-12-30. :p
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Laura

Hi all, I'm having issues with a FoxPro linked server.
I've set up a linked server to a FoxPro dbc using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro. When I'm on Management Studio on my server the link appears to be working fine and a stored procedure I've created to get the indo from the dbc and put it into a temp table works fine.
However, when I try to execute the sp on management studio on my local machine I get the following error:
OLE DB provider "VFPOLEDB" for linked server "tern" returned message "Invalid path or file name.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure usp_SSRS_007, Line 28
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "VFPOLEDB" for linked server "tern".
And I also get a similar error when I try to test the connection of the linked server on my local machince.
This is now driving me nuts , so many many thanks in advance for any help!!!

Hi everyone,
I have worked soley with Sybase for almost ten years! Now I have been tasked with converting a bunch of data currently in a FoxPro database to a Microsoft SQL Server database. Short of writing some routines myself (which I don't mind doing), is there a shortcut for doing this? Any specifics would be great as it seems this could be mind boggling as far as dates go and so many other things!
Thanks so much!

I am trying to add a FoxPro linked server to MS SQL 2005, and I can't seam to create a linked server that works. What am I doing wrong in linking the server?
I have an ODBC connection that worked but not OLEDB; how can I do this with OLEDB (either VFPOLEDB or Jet, if it will work) and not ODBC.
This is what I thought was right
Code Snippet
sp_addlinkedserver 'test',
'FoxPro',
'VFPOLEDB',
'C:DataSomeDatabase.dbc',
NULL,
NULL,
NULL
But it gives the error:
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "VFPOLEDB" for linked server "test".
Also I know in MS SQL 2000 once you linked a server you could view it in EM, but when I linked the VFP via ODBC I could query agianst it, but I could not open it in Mangament Studio.
Thank you in advance.

I've downloaded and installed the latest VFPOLEDB (12/04) on 2 separate SQL Server boxes.
In both cases, If I connect to SQL Server with Query Analyzer as (local) while on a box, the linked server to my foxpro database works fine with openquery().
However, If I'm at one box and attached to SQL Server on the other box, the openquery() fails.
Here's some particulars:
---
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server='VFP',
@provider='VFPOLEDB',
@datasrc='\hdmcpdctis1 isrnddata',
@srvproduct='Visual FoxPro'
--this works on either (local) box
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(VFP, 'select * from tislists')
Go
--but, the same openquery() above doesn't work if the box I'm running it from is attached to the SQL Server on the other box. I get:
Server: Msg 7302, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not create an instance of OLE DB provider 'VFPOLEDB'.
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: CoCreate of DSO for VFPOLEDB returned 0x80040154].
=====================
One other approach I tried that works while on the (local) box, but fails when attached to the SQL Server on the other box:
select * from openrowset('MSDASQL',
'Driver=Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver;SourceType=DBF;SourceDB= \hdmcpdctis1 isrnddata ',
'select * from [tislists.DBF]')
With error:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver does not support this function]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].

Any Help is greatly appreciated! Thanks,
