I have the pleasure of migrating data from an old IBM server running SCO unix and informix 2.0.
The server/db work fine- the db however isn't available over tcp/ip.
Trying to find out how to enable access to informix over ip.
Any help/direction would be appreciated!
Thanks!
thanks for the input- it is v5.0.5. we're going to do a local export and create a new instance on a newer version.
Johnathan- as you mentioned the i-net function is separate and isn't installed so we can't go that route.
thanks!!

I have installed vmware player and added the disk file to it. Teradata studio is already installed in it. Now, I want create a database of good size to perform bulk load types in Teradata.
Where can I get the sample database?
I assume that you are asking about the software part to create an instance of Teradata database. If you have VMware downloaded from Teradata for evaluation purpose, it is already installed and configured. You just have to connect with your Studio.
If you are trying to create a virtual environment on your own, then you need to download the Teradata software and install in machine which will create a database. After installing the software you can configure and connect with Studio.
Teradata Express comes with toy data (Samples database) but only up to version 14. From version 15 it is (oddly) removed.
Your VM-Ware is fully configured. Sart your TD-Studio and connect to it.
From VM-Ware's TD-Studio it is TDPID: localhost od 127.0.0.1 User dbc pass dbc
There are no more sample databases in Teradata Express, but I published several data sets on GitHub, see the blog on Teradata Community
I need to migrate a customer's site which happens to be hosted in a remote Win32 environment with Sitebuilder, Plesk, SQL Server and ASP or ASP.Net, I'm not sure.
I'm used to LAMP environments, so I don't know what to do with all the files in this server. Sitebuilder and SQL Server are also new to me.
I only have access to the FTP files and to the Plesk panel control, but it doesn't even acknowledge the existence of any SQL Server database (as it usually does with MySQL databases).
So far I've only been able to think of these two options:
Code an ASP script that writes down the database content into CSV files (wouldn't know where to start).
Code a script that retrieves the data directly from the HTML pages (long, painful, error prone and not useful to access data available only to logged in users).
So my question is: from your experience, knowledge of this platform, and point of view, which would be my best option?
Thank you very much in advance in my first question here. Regards,
UPDATE: I've managed to access the server (Windows 2008 server + SQL server 2008) using remote desktop. I guess I should be able to export the database now. I'll check Management Studio to see if it can help in the process.
It sounds odd that it doesn't support remote connections, but if you want to do it from within your asp-pages, the following links might be good starting points:

I need to load into sqlserver all of my locally stored email messages. Currently those are thunderbird-based but if i need some sort of export-to-outlook utility, fine, just say the word. I could probably adapt some asp.net (c#) code to access the local messages but doing the google against:
export emails from thunderbird to sql server
import to sqlserver from outlook
and a vast variation there of, is not getting me any closer to either a utility or someone's codeplex project.
it's probably trivial local file access stuff, so it's probably been done a few thousand times and has to have been presented as utility code a few hundred...but how do i find it?
thx
A solution is to setup a virtual machine or a server running linux (debian) or FreeBSD (my favorite). To install postgreSQL and DBmail and to connect through IMAP to DBmail.
With dbmail it is possible to store all email into SQL.
What I want is a Powerbuilder application that runs on Windows that runs from a CD (or some other external disk) that can read from an ASA database whose file is located on the same disk. But I want to do so without deploying the ODBC or OLEDB drivers. That is, I do not want to have to copy the driver files to the client's hard disk or add any registry entries. Is this possible?
In the Powerbuilder and ASA documentation they mention something about "embedded database connections" and supposedly you can specify the executable for the database server in the connection string. But that was no help.
When you attempt to connect to a database and "ODBC" is specified for the DBMS property of the transaction object, PowerBuilder is going to want to start loading drivers and looking to an ODBC datasource for the driver's info.
The only thing I can think to try, is to create all the registry entries at run time and point them to the driver files and the .db file on the CD. You might be able to make things easier with a file based datasource on the CD already, but you'll still need to create registry entries to setup the driver details. Then you can remove all those entries when you disconnect/close the application. I don't think you can do this completely without registry entries.
You do have to deploy the ODBC driver, that's how PB talks to SQL Anywhere. You dont have to create a DNS entry though, you can usr a DNSless connection.

Since you aren't getting much feedback I thought I'd offer this. I've done this with MS Access, but MS Access is much easier to connect to and most Windows PC's are able to connect via File based DSN.
You definitely want to avoid ODBC if at all possible look for File based DSN in ASA, but because it is more of a full database engine I doubt it is possible without ODBC and setting up ODBC via Registry Entries is possible but no fun at all especially if your clients are running different versions of Windows.
Here is the connect string I used for something similar but MS Access. I choose Access for this exact reason, it was for a RPG program and I wanted a database but didn't want to mess with ODBC.
Sample:
"Connectstring='Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};UID=abc;PWD=123; Dbq=C:\Program Files\Mafia Manager\mm.mdb;
Exclusive=1;'"
What's the best solution to develop Drupal remotely on a development server, using Eclipse ?
I found this: http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/
Is this the best way to do it ? And above all, am I going to have some limitations ?
thanks
Sometimes SSH / SFTP is a better solution than Samba. SSH is likely to be activated on most servers an can be mounted into the local file system.
If you only have access via FTP you have two options.
You can set up a connection to the server using remove system explorer. When you set up a new project use the generic new project option and there you should have an option to choose which file system to use.
This will mean that you work directly on the server, be warned this can be slow sometimes, using FTP is slower than most other methods of connecting to a remote system.
The other option is to work locally and deploy to your server when you whish to test something. You can use the 'export' feature for this.
Just use samba on the machine. Point your project at it.
