I know SQL Server 6.5 did it's database backups with dat files.  If you're
running SQL Server 7, go to the MS SQL Server - Switch entry in your start
menu and click on SQL Server 6.5.  Then do a restore from SQL Server 6.5.
That's one option.  I say all this, assuming SQL Server 7 won't already do
it for you, of course.  Not sure if a sybase dat file is compatible with SQL
Server 6.5's dat files, but it's worth a shot.

Subject: OT: Dat files


I'm trying to move over a site that was once using a Sybase backend. They
sent me a .Dat file and I'm wondering how I can take this file and use it to
create a sql database. Anybody have any experience with converting from
Sybase to sql using a dat file? Thanks, for anyone who can help.
