Zion database - export and/or format?

Postby ltjarl » Wed Jul 30, 2008 8:26 am

Has any attempt to export the songs from ZW 2.6? I like to import into MS Access, or get it to text file /-s ... Some experience?

Everyone knows what the database ZW 2.6?

ZW 2.6 used TurboDB as the database engine (see http://www.dataweb.de/index.html). There is no native connector inside Access for TurboDB, but an ODBC connector (http://www.dataweb.de/webapps/newsletter/startdownloaden.aspx?pid=TurboDB_ODBC&ploc=turbodbodbc/TurboDBOdbc.msi) allows you to read (and modify*) the database from any ODBC compliant database editor such as Access. Note, do not modify the database or ZW will not work.

Some modifications to the database will allow ZW to continue to run. You can add your own fields to the database if you want.
However,
1) you should back up before any changes
2) be aware that future releases/ patches may overwrite your changes
3) for experienced users only
