How to Copy Data from Firebird to ODBC - Step-by-Step
1. Launch Advanced ETL Processor
- Create a Firebird/InterBase Connection by specifying the database file path, hostname (if remote), username, and password
- Create an ODBC Connection by selecting the ODBC driver and providing DSN or connection parameters
2. Create a New Transformation
Right-click on a transformation group and select New to create a new workflow.
3. Configure Reader
- Double-click the reader object
- Select the Firebird/InterBase connection
- Choose a source table or enter a custom SQL SELECT query
4. Configure Writer
- Double-click the writer object
- Select your ODBC connection
- Choose the target table and set the action (insert, update, or replace)
5. Map and Transform Fields
- Map Firebird fields to ODBC target columns
- Apply transformations or conversions as needed (e.g., handling DATE/TIMESTAMP, numeric precision, character sets)
6. Run the Transformation
Click the Run button to execute the transfer. Logs will display real-time progress and any issues encountered.
