Generate delta.sql OpenEdge to MS SQL Server utility
The Generate delta.sql utility allows you to migrate schema changes from an OpenEdge
database to an MS SQL Server database. The utility reads a delta.df file that has been created
using the incremental dump procedure and creates a new file containing SQL DDL for updating
the .df file which can then be used to complete the migration process.
By default, the Map to MSS Datetime Type option is checked. Uncheck the box to map MS
SQL Server 2008 data types to ABL DATE, DATETIME, and DATETIME-TZ data types:
Dump as Create Table Statement
The Dump as Create Table Statement utility allows you to select one or all tables of the
working database and generate scripts for MS SQL Server that contain statements equivalent to
those originally used to define selected tables in the foreign data source. By default, the Map to
MSS Datetime Type option is selected. Uncheck the option to generate columns with datetime
data types available in MS SQL Server 2008.
