Really. I did an account dump and transfer to SQL-Server, and SQL-Server really did take on the order of one order of magnitude more disk space!

Re: [U2] Convert data from UniData to Microsoft SQl server
There are a lot of factors that will determine this. The main thing is the data types used on the SQL side. See the following link for size of each data type http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172424(v=sql.100).aspx As a rule of thumb using the fixed length data types will take up more space than the variable length data types. Another piece that will contribute to your size is the fact you will need to create cross-reference tables, where you can do multivalues in UniData. As a rough estimate we have seen a 2:1 ratio in the amount of disk space used.

Re: [U2] Convert data from UniData to Microsoft SQl server
The last one I saw was a 20MB UniData file took up 200MB in SQL Server. Having said that, it is *highly* dependent on the nature of your data, how many multivalued/sub-multivalued attributes there are (and how deep), as well as what data types you select for your SQL schema. This means there is generic way to calculate how much your data will expand when stored in SQL Server - other than actually trying. For what purpose are you moving data into SQL Server?
