Informix To Sql Server (or How To Open .unl Files) how to import .unl files into SQL Server 2000 without Informix softwar

[leiaah 0]

Does anyone know how to import .unl files into SQLServer 2000? My boss gave me this task to migrate an old database into SQLServer. I don't have informix installed since the files were sent to me via email. All files have .unl extension and I don't have a clue how to view them. I've tried opening them using excel but it can't be read. Does anyone know how to do this? Or at least know how to open/view the file using excel or any other program that could be easily migrated to sqlserver? Please, I need to migrate the files as soon as possible. Thanks very much.

Replying to leiaahI am in a similar situation. I just renamed the unl to .Txt and I can opened it up! gg-reply by rawr

You don't need to rename the extension. Just right-click the file and Open with Notepad or WordPad (assuming that it is a text-based file).
