Re: [U2] Error connecting to UD 5.2 from SQL Server 2008 SSIS [ad]

Thanks Tony, but I think I will just wait until I've convinced management to approve the upgrade to 7.2 I know that release can talk to SSIS. We are talking hundreds of files here for that conversion and maybe thousands of Oracle tables, and I don't think I'm going to create classes for every

You may not want to do this due to volume of data your trying to pull, but... Have you tried setting up your UD5.2 server as a linked server in SQL, then creating views to your linked server. Then use SSIS to pull from the views, that way it doesn't know it isn't a SQL data source?

Thanks Jeff, I might give that a try. Even though the creating views bit doesn't sound too appealing. I actually have been thinking to start off by leaving it as is and pull the data from SS 2000 instead of UD 5.2 directly since the table structure is exactly the same and the updating of the

I wasn't familiar with the term cube and I did some research. I found this. The ideal structure for such storage is a star schema, realized as a multidimensional cube. In such a structure, tables are related not in the relational manner of an RDBMS, but by a central key table that defines

Bill, I have seen UD 7.2 talk to SSIS without any problems at U2U in Liverpool last year. So I know it does work. When I asked if it would also work with 5.2 everybody told me to upgrade. UniData 5.2 is a dinosaur and no longer supported to boot! I guess it is the old Informix OLEDB Provider
