Restore SQLBASE 7.0 .dbs

I am trying to restore a .dbs file. I know its version is 7.0.1 and can not restore in sqlbase 12. I just need to recover the data.

I already tried to open in word, gedit, libre office calc, suggestions seen on the internet. But I can not retrieve this data.

I tried searching sqlBase 7 but I also did not find it. Anyone know of a solution to this case?

Solution

  • Good to see you are using SQLBase 12. However - you don't use 'Restore' , you must UNLOAD and then RELOAD the schema and data. Very easy . Use SQLTalk to do the whole thing. It is 'sqltalk.exe' found in the SQLBase run-time folder. Here is the syntax for UNLOAD: ( Use UNLOAD DATABASE to unload the entire Schema plus Data ) enter image description here

    Once UNLOADED to a file, here is the syntax for LOAD . enter image description here
