Trouble converting to postgresSQL

Postby MinRaise » Tue Apr 29, 2008 9:21 pm

My apologies in advance if I need to post this in the PT3 forum, but I think this is the right place.

I have several old PT2 Access databases that I would like to convert to PT3. I do not have the hand histories because I just copied the database files over from my old computer that has since been reformatted. I tried converting the hand histories to text files but it didn't work. I then tried to go the convert to postgreSQL route. I had a problem where my "ODBC field" is empty in the PostgreSQL Settings. I searched around here for a while before stumbling upon a thread with the same issue, which lead me to this http://www.pokertracker.com/forums/archives/PT2/viewtopic.php?t=24880.

My issue is that I don't have an "Application Stack Builder" available in the menu. I installed PostgreSQL with PT3. How can I make the change recommended in the above link?

Why didn't this work? Did you get errors or something? If you got errors telling you that the game #'s couldn't be found so it didn't export any hands then converting to PostgreSQL isn't going to work either.

What email was used to purchase PT2? I have no record of this one used for the forum.

Yeah, I did get errors saying hand histories couldn't be found. Does that mean I'm screwed?

I originally purchased PokerTracker sometime in 2004 with the now defunct [removed by pat]

Yes, without the hand histories you won't be able to convert them to PT3 because it needs to parse through the hand history text to be able to generate all the new stats being saved in PT3. It can't do that without the original hand history text.
