Use cfcontent if you can output it to excel then import into access.

Subject: DB Compatibility Sybase SQL Anywhere


A colleague has a situation that I am sure has crossed the brow of someone
else before.

She has a Coldfusion development Web Application tied to a Sybase SQL
Anywhere database (reason being that is what our government webhosting
department supports).  This is the first time that she or I have worked with
this type of database.  This database comes with a utility (I am told) that
will convert most other db formats to Sybase format to be able to be used.
She cannot find anything as yet that would allow the data in the Sybase db
to be exported or transported to an alternative format like Access 2000.
Just so you know, the majority of clients that we deal with, use Access
since their data requirements are not extensive.

The question: how would one go about getting the data in the Sybase db into
an alternative format (specifically Access 2000) or any other for that
matter?  I am also posing this question in the general sense as well to be
prepared for future web app requirements.

Thank you for your help

Al Hudson

Re: DB Compatibility Sybase SQL Anywhere

2002-06-06 Thread Joe Bastian

What drivers are u using to connect to Sybase and what platform?
Cant you link tables from Access using ODBC? Create DSN on NT/2000
to Sybase and use access to link the tables?
Or
doesnt Sysbase have an Export DB/Tables Utility.. Almost all DB's(SQL,ORACLE
etc)
have this feature.. i would be surprised.. if Sybase lacks this.
