Data Conversion advice needed

2 New Member
Hello. I've just joined this forum as I've been searching for some advice with a data conversion that I have to do.

Using : MS SQL server 2000

Old DB: many tables and no relationships originally. They were added afterwards and before my time here.

New DB: Contains all the tables from the Old Db plus quite a few more new tables. Has proper relationships between tables. Has test data only.

As an example of what kinda a changes happened:

Location used to Belong to an Organization directly, now Location belongs to a Region which belongs to an Organization.

The above is just one instance and there are a few more changes that resemble the example above.

My Problem:

I have to get the real data from old db and insert it into the new db.

What would be the best way to go about doing this, keeping in mind that there are many tables in the new db that the old db doesn't "know" about.

in the example i provided, if the region table was empty I could not insert anything into Location or Organization tables.

I'd much appreciate any advice

Thank You. :)

I am researching a potential solution for my company. Currently we convert a new client's dataset into our own data structures using Fox Pro and then Sql (Our data is in SQL).

Here is a basic example of the mapping would be as follows: Client Field...

Widespread opinion is that public data members are evil, because if you have to change the way the data is stored in your class you have to break the code accessing it, etc. After reading this (also copied below for easier reference): http://groups.google.it/groups?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&selm=6beiuk%24cje%40netlab.cs.rpi.edu&rnum=95 I don't agree anymore.

Folks once again I look forward to your invaluable assistance. When converting an Access 2002 mdb back to Access 1997 using the Access 2002 inbuilt tools I receive the following error message "Some errors happened during the conversion. No converted database was generated". This message is not of great assistance to me in sorting out the error!! I have not been able to find any helpful support on where to start looking

Hi all, I have a database that I need to use in different versions of Access. This is A97 in most places and A2k in a few other locations.

After conversion A97 > A2k everything (seems to) work(s) just fine, except for one thing I only discovered today. Using an unbound form to collect data that is used in...

Can somebody please explain the fine difference between these two clauses of the standard: 4.5 (Integral promotions) 4. An rvalue of type bool can be converted to an rvalue of type int, with false becoming zero and true becoming one 4.7 (Integral conversions) 4. If the source type is bool, the value false is converted to zero

I want to convert hex to binary without losing bits. I want to preserve the 8-bits because I ultimately need a 24-bit string to grab information from. I am just using this line of code for the conversion: string revLim = Convert.ToString(curveData, 2); // curveData = 0x14 // I want 00010100 // I am getting 10100

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
