Hi folks, new to this mailing group and here are my first questions.
We've been running a PGSQL database for a while now on a Weenblows 2K server, on version 8.0.something.
Our resident DBA has been shown the door and has taken with himself the admin password to get into the databases we run in PostGreSQL.
Question 1: Is there any way to recover and/or reset the administrator password in a database or do I have to recreate the db from scratch?
Question 2: One of the DB's we run in PGSQL for reasons outside my control needs to be moved to M$-SQL server. Is there any way that anyone is aware of that I can export the database definition and data (table structures, views etc) into a format usable by SQL server - I know M$ speaks it's own version of SQL which I've run into problems with in the past. Just looking for some suggestions on what I can do, otherwise I have to wade through a few thousand lines of SQL to make it workable in M$. Is is possible to pipe table structures/views through an ODBC connection? Is this something I should be asking on M$ forums?
