Importing Visual Foxpro Tables Into SS2005

Jun 28, 2007

Windows XP Pro - Sql Server 2005 Management Studio (current) - current visual foxpro oledb driver



I have an origin data folder with many foxpro dbf files



When I go through the "wizard" to import data from the origin folder using the "free table" option, I can locate the folder just fine. The form shows me a list of the files in the folder - but I cannot scroll through the list.



When I select the folder and continue, I test the connection and get a message that it is fine.



Then I go on to actually import tables. The list that is presented of tables that I can import does not include all the dbf files in the folder. There are 207 files in the origin folder, but only a fraction (about 120) of those show up in the list as candidates to be imported. I cannot see a pattern to the ones that are excluded from the list.



Does anyone know what could be causing this strange behavior?



Thanks.

DTS: Visual FoxPro To SQL Server

Jul 15, 2004

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

IMPORTING A TABLE INTO SQL SERVER FROM FOXPRO

Dec 10, 1999

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

Microsoft OLE DB Provider For Visual FoxPro 9.0

Feb 27, 2007

Im quite interested to see if any one is using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0 in an SSIS package. Is it possible to use this for free table directory like you can with the ODBC driver. ????

thanks kindly



My basic proccess is as follows: The source foxpro database has hundreds of dbf files ---the SSIS procress is as follows

1: Copy only required dbf files and/or matching .fpt files over to local drive on SSIS box(we only need 10 files)

use MS Visual Foxpro ODBC driver (free table option) and set up a system DSN--dataflow tab---datareader source--and away you go

Problem Querying A Visual Foxpro DBF

Jan 3, 2007

Good day,

Current Setup:

Using:
Visual Web Developer Express
SQL Express
IIS 6.0 with >net 2.0 Installed
Visual Foxpro

I actually have two questions (but am making good progress so will focus on the issue at hand).

1. I setup a Login.aspx / Default.aspx / Register.apsx / Membership.aspx as specified in the examples in MSDN...all is working ok.

2. When I register a new user, I wanted to capture their Customer ID during login to store in their Membership view table. I did this and is working ok....and to make it easy, am storing the value in Comments field.

3. I want to query a Visual Fox free table (DBF) that contains my client's Customer Invoice data...and have the ODBC Connection setup and working properly.

Here's the problem....

I'm having trouble formulating the SELECT string within the asp code to capture the Membership.Comments field.

I need the proper functions to grab the Comments field data and then use it within my select statement.

Presently, the query works if I just hard-code the value i.e.

"SELECT * from [invdata] WHERE cus_no = '1' "

I need to replace the '1' with the comments field data.

Thanks:

On a side issue: it took me days to just to get this all working to where it is...does anyone have a detailed example of how to Login to a site and pass the parms to another page to query the Logged In user's data from a database......a real world example that I have yet to see highlighted anywhere in the Forums or books I've bought.

For example: I am customer ABC123, I log in to my vendor's site and want to see all my orders placed.

Visual FoxPro Linked Server

Jun 19, 2007

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.

Linked Server To Visual FoxPro Not Work

Feb 20, 2005

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,

peter :confused:

Linked Server For Visual Foxpro (DBF) Table

Jul 13, 2015

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.

OLEDB Error When Using Visual FoxPro Driver

Aug 30, 2007

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.

DTS Import To SQL Server 2000 From Visual FoxPro

May 17, 2007

Greetings,



I am unsure if this is the correct forum to send this question, but I can't seem to find any information regarding this problem. If this is the wrong place, please direct me to the correct spot.



I am attempting to import data from a free tables FoxPro database to SQL 2000 using a DTS Package which has worked correctly every day for the past 2 years. Yesterday, I got an error.



The package has around 10 tables that it deletes, re-creates, and populates with data from the Foxpro. All of the tables except one work correctly.



When I try to do an explicit import using the ODBC connection to populate that one table, I get the following error: Context: Error calling Openrowset on the provider.



I created an access database on my local computer and setup an ODBC connection and link tables to the database to see if it would work, and it did. So I thought there might be something wrong with the ODBC data source on the SQL Server, so I deleted it and created a new one, used it and I receive the same error.



I thank you in advance for any assistance or direction you can provide me for finding an answer.

OPENROWSET Using Visual FoxPro Provider Error 'Could Not Fetch A Row'

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:

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?

The Parameter Is Incorrect. (Microsoft OLE DB Provider For Visual FoxPro) After SP1

May 1, 2006

Having installed SP1, my SSIS packages using the OLE-DB Provider for Visual Foxpro no longer work. Using the latest version obtained from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E1A87D8F-2D58-491F-A0FA-95A3289C5FD4&displaylang=en

When attempting to create one SSIS from scratch, the message thrown is:

"The parameter is incorrect. (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro)."

The radio button option of "Copy data from one or more tables or views" and then selecting the "Next >" throw the error.

It has to be the SP1 causing the problem because nothing else changed on the Server and everything was working fine prior to this.

Microsoft, any feedback on this??

Query Server Error When Accessing Visual FoxPro 9.0 Via ODBC

Nov 6, 2007



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..

Insert Records From Foxpro Tables To SQL Server Tables

Apr 22, 2004

Hi,

Currently, I'm using the following steps to migrate millions of records from Foxpro tables to SQL Server tables:

1. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then bcp to SQL Server tables in a dummy database. All the SQL tables have the same columns as the Foxpro tables.
2. Manipulate the data in the SQL tables of the dummy database and save the manipulated data into the SQL tables of the real database where the tables may have different structure from the corresponding Foxpro tables.

I only know the following ways to import Foxpro data into SQL Server:

#1. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then bcp to SQL Server tables
#2. Transfer Foxpro records to .dat files and then Bulk Insert to SQL Server tables
#3. DTS Foxpro records directly to SQL Server tables

I'm thinking whether the following choices will be better than the current way:

1st choice: Change step 1 to use #2 instead of #1
2nd choice: Change step 1 to use #3 instead of #1
3rd choice: Use #3 plus manipulating in DTS to replace step 1 and step 2

Thank you for any suggestion.

Synchronizing Foxpro .DBFs Data With SQL Server Tables (realtime)????

Mar 16, 2008



Is it possible to use SSIS to synchronize the data between a Foxpro .dbf and a compatible SQL Server table on a near realtime basis?

I have succesfully created an SSIS package that will insert data into the SQL Server Table but this is only useful for migrating data. What I need is a way to insure that the data in the SQL Server table matches that in the .dbf on a near realtime basis.

Or is there a way to link from SQL Server to the .dbf (similar to an Oracle DBLink).

Thanks for any and all assistance.....

FoxPro Triggers Call FoxPro Stored Proc Calls SQL Server Stored Procedure

Mar 10, 2005

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

Hi, I've just got my brand new shiny SQLServer and would like to set some new tables set up etc. But I'm really lazy and I was wondering if there is any way of importing table layouts, coulmns, whole structure type thing into SQLServer from Microsoft Access using DTS? I know it's a bit optimistic, but just wondered....

Any help gratefully accepted.

Thanks,
Paula.

Importing And Exporting Tables

Mar 29, 2006

Hello Everybody,





Not sure if this is the correct Forum, anyway lemme me know your views. I
have SQL Server running in two remote machines (in different geographical
locations). I need to import a database from one SQL Server
installation to another installation. What is best possible solution:





1) Transfering the .mdf and .ldf file from one installation to another installation


2) Generating the records of all the tables in the database to a common
file format CSV and then loading it in destination database. If this is
ok then how to generate import and export data using CSV format


3) Any other options?

Importing System Tables From Oracle

Oct 22, 2001

I am trying to import application tables from oracle but they do not show up in the list of tables. I suspect that this is because the tables are owned by System. Is there any way other than changing the owner to get these tables to appear in the import list?

Thanks,
Ken Nicholson

Importing Partials Datas From 2 Tables In Another One

Nov 12, 2005

I am having a problem to get all datas into one table
I must get datas from 2 other tables
datas from the first table are columns
but datas of the second table are rows

I cannot change the structure of TableA because an other application is using it as it is

TableA
num | value | key
1 | a | 1400
2 | b | 1401
3 | c | 1402
4 | d | 1403
...|... | 1403

TableB
key | name | descr | value
400 | john | ok | 451

TableC (the table where I want to insert datas from Table1 and Table2)

val1 | val2 | val3 | val4 |name | descr | value
1 | 2 | 3 |4 | john | ok | 451


TableA has thousands of rows and different numbers
I must get 8 different datas from TableA

so I get an horrible Query !

SELECT

TableB.name, TableB.descr, TableB.value,
TableA_1.value AS val1,
TableA_2.value AS val2,
TableA_3.value AS val3,
TableA_4.value AS val4,
TableA_5.value AS val5,
TableA_6.value AS val6,
TableA_7.value AS val7,
TableA_8.value AS val8

FROM dbo.TableB INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_1 ON TableB.key = TableA_1.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_2 ON TableB.key = TableA_2.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_3 ON TableB.key = TableA_3.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_4 ON TableB.key = TableA_4.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_5 ON TableB.key = TableA_5.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_6 ON TableB.key = TableA_6.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_7 ON TableB.key = TableA_7.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_8 ON TableB.key = TableA_8.key

WHERE TableA_1.num = 145
AND TableA_2.num = 80
AND TableA_3.num = 3160
AND TableA_4.num = 41
AND TableA_5.num = 50
AND TableA_6.num = 51
AND TableA_7.num = 53
AND TableA_8.num = 56


how can i do it in the best way ?

Thank you
