Import DB Watcom

Someone knows as it is possible to read the data contained in a Db Watcom 4.0
in order to import it in a Db Sql?
Thanks from Italy

Hi
I believe that Watcom is now owned by Sybase after a series of takeovers and
it formed the basis of their SQL Anywhere product.
If you have an OLE-DB or ODBC driver for this, you can import it into SQL
Server. Watcom does have a unload utility that can be used to create scripts
to re-create the database, but I am not sure if you can dump the data into a
file which can be imported using BCP (which would be an alternative method).

You may want to check with Sybase for an ODBC driver. Sybase bought Watcom
several years ago and renamed it SQL Anywhere.
