Mike, no problem with the plug. We are already a supertool shop. What I am looking for would be some form of a "Data Pump" for the 3k platform. I know they exist on other platforms. I will look at Supertool as a way to get started though. Thanks for the reminder. +----------------------------------------+ Kevin Barker Email: [log in to unmask] Pager: 818-757-8712 Phone: 818-717-4546 In article <[log in to unmask]>, [log in to unmask] says... > >[log in to unmask] (Kevin Barker) wrote: >>My question is, what would be the most efficent way to pull data out of >>an Image DB and throw into an NT based SQL DB?
