Hi,

I have one question regarding the connectivity to PostGreSQL Database.

*Question:* Is it possible to connect to the PostGreSQL database through
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 version in the DTS Package.
There is a requirement to pull data from PoseGreSQL database into SQL Server
Database.

In case, it's not possible, is there any way to export the data in a flat
file, so that I can use this for importing in SQL server database.

Please let me know how should I go about that.

Thanks
Amit

Not sure about using DTS to do it (only just starting playing with that
myself), but to get PostgreSQL data to a flat file for importing, you could
do something like:



BEGIN;

SELECT col1, col2, col3, col7, col8, col9

INTO TEMP export

FROM Postgres_table

WHERE whatever = something;

COPY export TO '/path/to/save/exported/file.tsv';

COMMIT;



I use this method in scripts to move data between databases on PostgreSQL.



Cheers,

~p

If you are just wanting to move the data (i.e., the structure uses

Amit,

I have not set them up myself, but in the past we used DTS packages
extensively. There were some occasional issues, but it does work.
