Connect v8 with v9 client

[TJCO]

We have to get data from a progress v8 database and put them in a v9 database.

Is it possible to connect to a progress v8 database from a progress v9 client?
Or should we use an ODBC connection?

Yes, you can connect to V8 database without ODBC.

And how should I do this?
Because I always get the message
"Database has the wrong version number" when I try to connect it.

Progress v9 client can not connect directly to v8 database.
There must be V8 server running on the database.
And then V9 client can be connected to V8 server.

Hi,

Try to connect to it as a remote client.

E.g.: connect dbname -H hostname -S servicename|port


You can also connect to it using Data Dictionary but specify host and service name.
