Hi All,

I have an urgent requirement to convert BTrieve tables to the SQL Server/MS Access. Does anyone have any idea on how to get this done?

Thanks in advance,
Haarish.

You'd need a BTrieve OLEDB driver.
Then using SSIS or the Import wizard connect to the BTrieve datasource and import the data.

Isn't Pervasive and BTrieve the same?

Thanks a lot Guys.

I have got an application called btSearch downloaded that will help me in the conversion. For the ODBC driver I have downloaded Pervasice vSQL10. btSearch can use this driver to read the source DDF files and convert to a delimited format that MS Access can accept and access.

Then, I could use SSIS or the Import tool in Access to load the data. The only problem that I have now is to find a sample DDF file to test my findings before trying them on the Production tables. Any ideas as to where to get sample DDF files?

Thanks,
Haarish.
