Quick update…
Sybase is up and running again, but with month-old data. Sybase’s BCP routine
doesn’t handle embedded delimiter characters very well, so I’m a bit uneasy
about trusting the data pulled out of the corrupted database, especially for
loading in a month of changes impacting 2600 participants.
Because of this, I’m concentrating on getting the data loaded into PostgreSQL,
since there should be very few changes (the data is PostgreSQL is only a few
hours older than when I shut down stats).
In any case, progress is being made and we’re much closer to working stats now
than we were yesterday.
