The <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> Tutorial<br />
7–22<br />
Table 7–5: <strong>OpenEdge</strong>-to-MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Conversion utility (2 of 3)<br />
Interface element Description<br />
Connect parameters See Chapter 6, “Connecting the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>,” <strong>for</strong><br />
connection parameters.<br />
MaximumVarchar Length By default, the maximum size of the VARCHAR data<br />
type is 8000. The text data type is greater than<br />
8000. If you enter a value that is less than 8000, the<br />
text data type will be used when a character field<br />
display <strong>for</strong>mat or width is greater than the value<br />
you have entered. NOTE: When Use Unicode<br />
Types is selected, NVARCHAR maximum length is<br />
4000 by default. For UTF-8, because characters<br />
can use up to four bytes, only 2000 characters are<br />
guaranteed to fit.<br />
Codepage Must be the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> name <strong>for</strong> the code page that<br />
the data source uses. Use UTF-8 if Unicode<br />
support is desired.<br />
Collation Accept the default value.<br />
Insensitive Accept the default value to retain case<br />
insensitivity.<br />
Create RECID Field If this parameter is available <strong>for</strong> your data source<br />
type, check this check box to obtain the Extended<br />
ABL capability.<br />
Load <strong>SQL</strong> Leave this box checked to have the generated <strong>SQL</strong><br />
script loaded into the data source.<br />
Move <strong>Data</strong> Select this check box to dump and load data from<br />
<strong>OpenEdge</strong> to MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong>. When Use Unicode<br />
Types is selected, the data is translated as it is<br />
moved through the use of a conversion file.<br />
Create Shadow Columns MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> is case insensitive by default and<br />
this box is unmodifiable. When <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> is<br />
configured with a case sensitive code page, this<br />
box is available <strong>for</strong> selection. Selecting it provides<br />
case insensitivity compatible with the behavior of<br />
an <strong>OpenEdge</strong> database.<br />
Include Defaults Check if you want the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> initial value used<br />
as the default in the <strong>SQL</strong> script.<br />
Use Unicode Types Changes default code page to UTF-8 and directs<br />
the schema migration to convert all character data<br />
types in <strong>OpenEdge</strong> database to Unicode data types.<br />
Expand width (utf-8) Doubles the size of character fields based on<br />
specified field width criteria.<br />
Use revised sequence<br />
generator<br />
Select to enable revised generator and to prevent<br />
lock timeouts. Leave unchecked to retain older<br />
sequence generator, particularly if SET-VALUE<br />
sequence statement is used extensively in your<br />
program.
