Hello,

we have a DB2 installed on a Linux machine. Is there a way to import the DB into a SQL 2005 Server cause we want to do some testing there.

We also want to import a MaxDB into the SQL Server is there also a possibility?

So is there a wizzard or something to do this import. I investigated the SQL Server but i cant find a import option for DB2

you have different options
1. if you consistent want connection between DB2 & SQL Server, Add DB2 serevr as a linked server to sql server. then you can access tables using four part naming convention select * from server.database.schema.object

2. If its for adhoc transfer, use OPENROWSET or export import wizard
