Hi everybody!

I'm working on a migration from Informix to SQL Server... I'm doing it
through DTS and ODBC.


What I'm doing is using the DTS, my data origin is tha Informix
database and mi target is the SQL Server database that I just created,
this is via IBM Informix ODBC and I copy the tables... but the results
are something like this:


--INFORMIX--


create table r_cap_dbt_uni
(
num_db smallint ,
cve_uni char (8) ,
fecha_mens datetime YEAR to MONTH ,
valor float ,
primary key ( num_db, cve_uni, fecha_mens ) ,
foreign key ( num_db )
references cat_db_tec ( num_db )
);


-- SQL SERVER --


create table r_cap_dbt_uni
(
num_db smallint ,
cve_uni char (8) ,
***********************************************
fecha_mens smalldatetime ,
valor float ,
***********************************************
primary key ( num_db, cve_uni, fecha_mens ) ,
foreign key ( num_db )
references cat_db_tec ( num_db )
);


as you can see the float and datetime year to month data types change
like the example before.... I changed the "float" datatype manually to
"decimal" datatype... but I don't know what to do with the "datetime
year to month" Informix datatype, I mean, I dn't know why the DTS
changes this datatype to "smalldatetime"... how can I map this? what's
the process?


Thank you very much!
