Former Member

I have a database that Looks like it was wrtten in version 4 (1994). Version 10 will not let me unload it because it is so old. How can I unload it? Is there a place to get version 4 or maybe I just need a driver.

I get most of the data i expect to be in there, but a lot of the dat files are blank. There is one in particular that I want. In the .sql file it shows the table name and columns.

Blank data files usually just mean that the according tables are empty. Or has the v9 unload given any errors?

If not, as you obviously can use v9 to unload the database, I would suggest that you use v9 simply to start the database and to connect to it and to have a look whether the according tables are empty or not, something like

%ASANY9%win32dbisqlc -c "uid=dba;pwd=sql;dbf=v4.db"

It looks like that column is empty using the interactive SQL. Is it possible that this has to do with the version? It doesnt make sence that half of the tables in the database were created empty. I know specifically that data in this table is used in the calculations I do in the program.
