Where and how can I download Progress v9.1 database?

[alif]

So what are my options for loading the data?

Thanks

1) Buy an appropriate license.

2) Get someone to write you pre-compiled code which can load that data.

 

[alif]

Is the code just a short few lines? Where/how would it be run?

Are you able write me the code and compile it? (Pleeeeeeease! )

Just need .d file loaded with .df file that's it.

Thanks

I don't have that kind of time right now. I might later next week.

 

[alif]

Hmm...I'm pretty much stuck then

Why don't you have the person who did the dump show you the menu. Once into the dictionary, it really is just a question of poking around in the menu... nothing obscure, nothing oddly labeled, nothing mysterious.

Seeing the menu isn't a problem. It's loading the data at my end. The admin menu is greyed out probably due to the license I have.

Just looking for a quick and easy way other than upgrading license just for a single load of data.

Maybe a better way would be to setup an ODBC.

Do you have any idea how to setup an odbc between Progress v9.1 on Unix to MS SQL Server?

What would I need to install on the unix end and what would I need to install on the SQL server end?

Is it pretty straightforward? I know I can download the ODBC from Data direct but not sure how to set it up.

Thanks

Yes, greyed out implies a license issue. But, how did you get the dump, then?

 

[TomBascom]

It came from another system which does have the appropriate licenses.

 

[alif]

Got the dev license now.

I need to add a new AREA called "Data Area" (as my .df refers to this)

I need to run the command: prostrct add <db name> <.st file>

How do I run the command? Where exactly would I run this? Through Data administrator / Data Dictionary?

Thanks

Actually got it, its via proenv.
