I would like to see a Clipper/dbase DBF file as a table in SQL Server
7.0. How can I SELECT rows from DBF file? Should I use OLE DB Provider
or ODBC, and how?

You can set up a linked server using either OLE DB or ODBC (using the OLE DB
provider for ODBC) - see "Configurin g Linked Servers" in Books Online.

Hi, Simon,
I have a d:\temp\likvid. dbf file. I created an ODBC connection named
"dbase" and after that I created a linked server named LL. In
Enterprise Manager I can see the LL and the LIKVID table, but that's
all. When I "select * from ll...likvid" in Query Analizer, then I get
a message: "Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider
'MSDASQL'." What is the problem?

What does the Schema and Catalog column say for LIKVID? You probably need
to supply something between the dots, but not knowing DBASE, I have no
idea of what. May be ll.likvid.likvi d.likvid?

Hi, Erland,
Yes. My problem is same: What does the Schema and Catalog column say
for a single DBF file? The dBase program isn't important now, it's
only one data file. I don't know that how the SQL Server can see it
through the ODBC. When I try the connection name (dbase) or the
directory (d:\temp) between dots, then the result is same.
Do you have other idea?

You are right that Schema and Catalog may not very relevant for a DBF
file, but what I meant was: When you look at the tables in the linked
server from Enterprise Manager, what values do you see there? Would
these work?

Nothing. A big nothing. I can see only LIKVID table as an object (or
icon), but I can not see into the table. I can not open this table in
Enterprise Manager.

I'm afraid that I've run out of suggestions. Well, ll.[ ].[ ].LIKVID
maybe.
I did find a thread on a Russian SQL forum where various suggestions
are tried. My Russian is very rudimentary, but maybe of the suggestions
there is something you could try. http://www.sql.ru/forum/actualthread...&tid=14519&hl=

Your suggestion was almost good.
The solution is ll.[d:\temp]..likvid. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
