Thanks for quick response Tyson, unfortunately this command resulted in the same error:
dbunload -c "UID=***;PWD=***;DBF=db_backup/v9_backup.db" -ac "UID=DBA;PWD=sql;DBF=db/new.db;Server=newserver"
- ***** SQL error: Unable to start database server
I did read the following in the documentation when going from v9 to v12+:
- Do not unload a version 9 or earlier database when the database file requires recovery. When you use the Unload utility (dbunload) on a database file that requires recovery, a message is returned indicating that the database could not be started. Use a version 9 database server to start the database and then stop the database before retrying dbunload. To unload a version 9 or later database, you must be able to start the database in read-only mode. See -r database option.
It's possible my v9.db file was a result of a backup operation. Unfortunately I don't have the v9 running to do as the instructions say, "to start the database and then stop the database before retrying dbunload". Any idea where I can get the v9 install to complete this step? Thanks again.
