We have a software solution that involves syncing some data between a Progress database

  • 0

We have a software solution that involves syncing some data between a Progress database and SQL server. Unfortunately, we do not have any Progress gurus in house, so I’m working kinda blind here and would welcome any advice that is on offer.

For the workflow that is already in place, what would work very well for us is the ability to do an external call to insert a row into an SQL database from an within ABL procedure’s ‘for each’ loop.

Is anyone able to direct me to any code snippets or articles that might help me achieve this?

Many thanks,

    In case your SQL database is MS SQL Server, you might want to have a look at OpenEdge DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server (web.progress.com/en/openedge/dataserver-microsoft.html, documentation.progress.com/output/OpenEdge102b/pdfs/dmsql/dmsql.pdf).

    The DataServer provides you with ABL access to a non-Progress database so you can use standard Progress statements, e.g. CREATE to add new records or FOR EACH to retrieve query results.

    OpenEdge DataServers are also available for Oracle (using Oracle Call Interface), DB2 and Sybase (using ODBC). The DataServer for MS SQL Server uses ODBC behind the scenes as well. web.progress.com/docs/datasheets/openedge/openedge_dataservers.pdf
