We do this quite frequently using Python and the appropriate ODBC drivers. We're using MySQL instead of SQL Server, but the concept is the same. This is actually the thing that got me using Python. We had large datasets on the i that needed to be moved to SQL Server (previous job). Python was super easy to get started with. If interested, send me a note and I'd be happy to help you get started.

Subject: DB2/400 and MS SQL server

I am looking for a way populate a SQL Server table with
DB2/400 data.

In a perfect world I would be running this tool on the
Windows box and it would update SQL server whenever the
DB2/400 data changes. In a less perfect (but still OK)
world, it would update on a schedule.

Currently we ftp the DB2/400 data to the server as CSV
and use the Microsoft import tool. This works, but lacks
aesthetic appeal.

I would also like to be able to use a TOAD-like tool from
a workstation against DB2/400 tables.

These could be different solutions.

I tried IBM DB2 CONNECT, but could not get it installed
properly before the evaluation period expired.

Vendor solutions welcome.

Thanks,
lance
