Data Loads

[KFBDEV]

What tools do progress developers use to load the database. Are there examples of loading Excel files or other delimited text files?

There are numerous tools|ways to load data into a Progress database:

* binary dump|load
* something called bulkload (i think), but i've never tried it
* ascii (dictionary) dump|load
* could write a Progress 4GL procedure to do it (this would be the way you'd load a delimited file)

There are probably others. Progress solution ID P2952 at www.progress.com should get you started
getting your data from Excel into a Progress DB.
