Good evening, I ran into the "No suitable driver.(8933)" error after making an SQL-server beside an existing 4GL-server. PROGRESS Version is 9.1E. on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4. I know, both are old. But I have some SQL-servers succesfully running. When I start the database with the...

I also followed your advice to place a comment in the services file listing the range, so no one else will later think it's free. This always works well when a server is administered by more then one person (and for later generations). Thanks again.

I defined another portrange in minport/maxport and the problem is solved. I didn't know this was a known issue in linux. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your answer. According to netstat there are no ports used in between these numbers. However, I noted one difference between the old, and the newly migrated database: The ownership of the migrated database is progress:progress and the olf database was run as root. But I...

I have been playing around with the suggestions you made and everything work fine. Thanks again! Regs, Alge

Thanks Tom! I am going to try this in the morning when I am at work. -- Alge

Hi all, I am a beginning Progress sysadmin on Linux and preparing to make my first binary dump. So ... # proutil <databasename> -C dump <tablename> . ...is going to be the tool for that. In order to automate this process rather then doing this by hand for each tablename, I want to generate a...
