Don't know if anyone can help but i have been tasked with getting all the information out of an Ingres DB into a SQL Server DB. I have virtually no experience of Ingres apart from fumbling my way through looking at what it does and how it does it.
Ideally, what i would like to do is create a linked server (if possible) on a SQL Server and query the data that way. has anyone done this in the past previously and if so, any guidance/help would be appreciated
Thanks

You're got two choices ODBC or the Ingres .NET Data Provider. I suspect the Ingres .NET Data Provider is more capable, but you may find ODBC meets your requirements.
The Ingres .NET Data Provider requires the Data Access Server process (iigcd) to be running in your Ingres installation.

What version of Ingres are you running?
