I am currently trying to dump the contents from my tables on a Progress 8.3b database. My goal is to load the contents to a corresponding SQL-server database. The problem I have got is that I can't dump the table contents to .d-files. My question now is: Is it possible to take a binary dump file...

Okay! I guess the reason one of the fields becomes a varchar(10) is that Progress understands "M9999-999999" as store a character string containing 10 numbers and put an M in front of it and a '-' in position 5 when displaying the content. Therefore there are only 10 interesting characters in...

No, I have not. Might be something do try. For now I changed the size in SQL-server to varchar(11) on all of them, that works well enough for me to make a database diagram. But it would be interesting to understand why it is like this.

In my Progress Database there are two different tables that have the field "fbet". There are relationships between these tables with "fbet" as the key. On my report of all the tables "fbet" is of datatype "char". The format in one of the tables is set to 'M9999-999999' and on the other...

Hello! I have managed to get a report of all the tables in a database but I do not understand everything. I am more used to SQL-server and needs clarification of a few things: 1) I have a field that is inte (integer) and has the format '>>>9', what does this mean? 2) Some fields are of...

You are right that my initial question was about how to get structure and relations which I have got. However, when I was sitting in front of the server I also realized that I needed to have the content to understand everything. regards Magnus

I tried that earlier. Or more accurately it was already configured without -rx and then The whole admin menu was disabled. What did ju say about license issues. Can our Progress license be old and therefore is dumping table contents disabled? The system that uses the database is still working fine.

Yes! I used "-p _admin.p -RO -rx" along with the databasename. -RO gave me a warning so I tried without -RO and that worked to. The server was already configure with a shortcut using -p _admin.p.

Thank you everyone!! I managed to get the information that I needed. At least I hope this is correct information that I've got! I also tried to dump the content of the tables but that didn't work. I used the Data Administation tool but under the menu Admin->Dump Data and Definitions the...

My guess is that we are using a windows server of some kind. Looks like it in the documentation I have got. I have no tools on my computer for Progress. All tools is located on the server that is in a server room and I have no access to it. Next week I will get a session in front of the server...

Thanks Tom! As I said earlier I am a complete newbie with Progress so this might be stupid questions but I hope you bare with me. Am I supposed to write "pro dbname -p dict.p" in a windows command prompt on the server? Are there any documentation about the Data Administration Menu available...

Hello! I am completely new to Progress. We have a progress database in our organisation that I want to know everything about. Specifications: Progress 8.3b and WebSpeed 9.0b I realize that this is a really old version, but noone has done anything with this database since 2000. We only have...
