Delta df to MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Incremental Schema Migration utility<br />

Delta df to MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Incremental Schema Migration<br />

utility<br />

The Incremental Schema Migration utility allows you to migrate schema changes from<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> to a MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database. For example, in the process of developing<br />

an application in ABL that you will migrate to MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong>, you might want to make<br />

and test schema changes in the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> database that you want reflected in the MS<br />

<strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database. The utility reads an <strong>OpenEdge</strong> delta.df file that has been<br />

created using the standard incremental dump procedure. and creates a delta.sql file<br />

that contains the <strong>SQL</strong> DDL <strong>for</strong> making the changes and a delta.df file. You can then<br />

load the delta.df file into the schema holder. You can then apply the delta.sql file<br />

to the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database to complete the migration process.<br />

Note: You do not make schema changes directly in the schema holder, which must<br />

remain synchronized with the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database. The utility uses the<br />

schema holder to determine what the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> definitions are.<br />

To run the Incremental Schema Migration utility:<br />

1. From the <strong>Data</strong> Admin main menu, choose <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>s→ MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

Utilities→ Schema Migration Tools→ Generate Delta.sql <strong>OpenEdge</strong> to MSS.<br />

The following dialog box appears:<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Management</strong>: <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Microsoft</strong> <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> 303
