I have a module in Paradox where I have to write some records to a SQL Server database. Can this be done using ODBC? How can it be done?
Thanks
Which version of Paradox? The last one I had was a 4.0 for MS-DOS...
Anyway I found this, maybe useful.

I have one specific problem. In my Teradata SQL Assistant, I am connecting to SQL Server. But if it is possible, for me it will be best work with standard libraries in Teradata, like when I write help table, show table etc. the query is working. Right now it is necessary work with query defined in SQL Server. I think that must be possible somewhere set a preference of working queries. Or it is impossible?
Thank you a lot.
Teradata and SQL Server have different query dialects. HELP TABLE is specific to Teradata. Perhaps you should use a different tool for working with SQL Server, like Azure Data Studio or SQL Server Management Studio.
Don't know if anyone can help but i have been tasked with getting all the information out of an Ingres DB into a SQL Server DB. I have virtually no experience of Ingres apart from fumbling my way through looking at what it does and how it does it.
Ideally, what i would like to do is create a linked server (if possible) on a SQL Server and query the data that way. has anyone done this in the past previously and if so, any guidance/help would be appreciated
Thanks
You're got two choices ODBC or the Ingres .NET Data Provider. I suspect the Ingres .NET Data Provider is more capable, but you may find ODBC meets your requirements.
The Ingres .NET Data Provider requires the Data Access Server process (iigcd) to be running in your Ingres installation.

What version of Ingres are you running?
I've started to use Sqlite in my iPad project, however I would rather to use SQL Server CE database instead.
Does anyone know whether it is possible?
If so, have you got some simple instructions on how to use it?
Thanks
No, not possible, because SQL Server CE is not available for iOS.
I would like to know if anyone of you can help me with reporting data from a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise ed. using qlikview and having the data refreshed constantly directly from the database visually using charts.
Many thanks.

Sure, this is possible, what exactly are you searching for?
QlikView would use an ODBC or OLEDB connection to SQL-Server and then you can use all the functionality QlikView provides.
I started using a Sql Compact version of my DB and during the development it occured that the DB needs to be accessible over the network.
Cause I wasn't able to find a way to share the SDF file over net without replication I need to import it into SQL Server 2008 (Express).
Any Ideas?
I solved my problem. GvS's advice gave the keywords to search for:

CodePlex has a couple of tools now which perfectly address this question.
These are IDE extensions.
If you are using SQL Server Management Studio Express or higher, get this one.
If you are using Visual Studio 2010 Pro or higher, get this one.
This is harder as it looks, because it doesn't seem to work with the SQL Server Import and Export wizard.
You could write a small program, that gets all data from your SDF file table by table/record by record, and then inserts them into the SQL database.
I was looking out to see if you could use ODBC to directly access the database file, but apparently, no... According to this forum thread your best bet is to try to access it through OLEDB/ADO.
