Update on Database Coonversion

Or give our long-suffering spouse or girlfriend (may they never meet..hahaha) some long-overdue attention????

Well Bill, it will be interesting to see if any EO babies are born on the 9th. September this year.

Imagine, we have Muddy & bride to be, and now.... a powercut.... whoops.... forum cut.

Cheers

Too old for wolf cubs Wolfie

You guys should be in bed at that time of day!!!!!

As for progress the copy is about 50% so it looks like I will be attempting to get the cut-over done tonight.

Muddy has had the cut? Does Jude know?

As long as your network doesnt run across a shoelace it should be no issues

you guys really crack me up! The comments are better than phriday phunnies.
10 mins later and I'm still chuckling - are you lot really like this in real life??
Gotta meet ya all one day.
Techie.
ps this is the first place I view after I log on - even before I check my eMail.

No worries Ruth, glad it is now working. Sorry for the delay.

If I don't drink too much and can see see the pixels (not the pixies) from about 10-12PM the system should be upgraded and tomorrow will be the big first test. As mentioned earlier I may have to tweek the search operations over the next few days to try to make it run OK but I am waiting to see what happens with the basic convert. I have converted the programs on my local system and done a fair amount of testing so all looks good from this end just waiting the get all the data up and available on the new online DB server.

PS: I expect the down time to be around 2 hours as I need to bring down to my local system the entire DB that is running live now (about 45-60mins) and then extract threads from the 1 Dec 05 till now (5 mins) and upload these parts to the new DB (10mins), test (a long time usually) and turn on (takes about 5 secs - no jokes please).

Doing well David. Hope it all works well.

Five seconds to turn on. I am a bit older now. I don't see the joke. LOL

Well spotted John. Nothing wrong with your eyes :)))
