Thread: Regarding Connectivity

Not sure about using DTS to do it (only just starting playing with that myself), but to get PostgreSQL data to a flat file for importing, you could do something like:

BEGIN;

SELECT col1, col2, col3, col7, col8, col9

INTO TEMP export

FROM Postgres_table

WHERE whatever = something;

COPY export TO ‘/path/to/save/exported/file.tsv’;

COMMIT;

I use this method in scripts to move data between databases on PostgreSQL.

Cheers,

If you are just wanting to move the data (i.e., the structure uses static) you could maybe explore using MS Access as an intermediary???
