Where has my Upsize Database Genie gone to?

[Ted Giles]

I'm using the latest un approved version of V11 and it seems to have disappeared.
Any ideas?

You seem to have uncovered a reason it is unapproved.

you can always use something like sqlyog, or one of the others to get the dbf's into sql even if it is a pain. Some are free ones.

Try

a5_UpsizeDatabaseGenie()

Re: Where has my Upsize Database Genie gone to?

Thank you gentlemen.
I will try both options.

No luck with the a5_UpsizeDatabaseGenie() option. It launches the process Stan, runs to step 3 and then hangs. No error message whatsoever.
The connection is to MySQL and has been checked.
It's no big deal really as I can use other tools, but it would have been nice to see it working.

Does it work if you roll back to a previous release?

Not tried Al.
Tied up with a collaborative SQL based web app at present.
Like I said, no big deal, but you are correct, I should test it and report as a bug if it is ok in the previous version.
As for fixes in V11? There have been many requests to formally release the beta last version and AS have declined.

2 chances for another v11 update.

Slim and none

and Slim just left town.

Upsize Genie (latest v12 release) seems to work on small tables from DBF to SQL Server 2008.

Larger files it locks up and is not responsive. I don't see CPU, disk or network traffic so it is somehow dead.

Too bad, it was exactly what I need.

PS .... never mind ... export to SQL is what I REALLY wanted to do and that worked properly. Still had to PACK the DBF to avoid out of range record numbers.

When the horse is dead, get off.

AGREED!

I'm trying to salvage an old client that had everything stuck in an 2003 Access database.

Just getting his data to SQL is half the project. Various MS tools failed, but A5 came through .... sucked the data into DBF, exported it to SQL.

Hate double jumping data but Access 2003 MDBs are a little cranky, especially when they didn't have any version of Access around.

The DBFs even show me the indices so I can do the equivalent or better in SQL.

This dead horse was already a great grandfather of dead horses.

.................... the data has been moved to SQL. Time to party! (for a while, anyway.)
