Im trying to migrate a Gupta DB to MySQL. I already have a script to create every Table (with indexes and comments) and views I need in MySQL (table-, view- and column-names as well as column-types are equal in gupta as well as MySQL). But now I cant figure out how to read data from the old SQLBase Database and "import it" into the new MySQL database.
i thought of reading the old data from SQLBase and writing it in a file to then read it somehow via MySQL to import it. the Problem here is that for some tables there are more than 1 million records which i can not lose a single one of....
You can ETL natively from Gupta 'SQLBase' very easily. But you need to read the manual appropriate for your SQLBase version here: Gupta SQLBase manuals ( all verions ) , specifically, you need to read the 'UNLOAD' command in the 'Language Reference' manual. But best advice is: Don't do it ! Upgrade to SQLBase v12.2 instead.
