Greetings! We are in the processing of moving from a Pyramid ES to a Pyramid NILE computer, as well as going from 5.x to 7.10. Inorder to pull this off, I need to unload/load all the data. Does anyone have any suggestions (other than praying a lot) on how to pull this off in a relatively timely manner? Previous migrations at this company have involved unloading to a named pipe, some smoke and mirrors I don't quite understand, then reading from another named pipe and then feeding load or dbload. Is there a way write to a socket and read from the socket and then feed load/dbload? I am going to move ~50GB of data. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. -- Dave Proksch - DBA - ValueRx - Phone: (810) 333-8622 Fax: (810) 253-6510 email: dproksch@vrx.vhi.com snail mail: 1825 South Woodward Suite 200 Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302 USA #include <std_disclaimer.h>
