Hi,

Could you recommend me about the better way to make a migration of data from Paradox Tables to IBX tables. Basically I want to export from Paradox to IBX, but there isn't a common format between them.

Upsizing from Paradox to Interbase:

(the article is on CodeGear's site somewhere but links to it don't seem to
be working at the moment).

Paradox for Windows and older versions of Delphi/C++ Builder had a Data
Pump utility. It will do what you want if you have it.

Take a look at IBDataPump from CleverComponents. The link is:

http://www.clevercomponents.com/products/datapump/ibdatapump.asp


It's fast and easy to use. It will even generate the SQL needed to create
your Interbase database and tables. You may want to modify the SQL to use
SQL Domains or rename fields but you'll have a good initial database
definition.

Thank you all.

It was very interesting the references and also the DataPump
utilities. I tried first the DatabaseDesktop DataPump but it
had many problems; next I tried with IBDataPump and after two
adjustments it worked very well.

Best regards,
