Greetings -
I need to import yesterday's data from an Informix database every morning. Can someone please suggest the best way to go about setting this up? (I'm a SQL newbie...)

I have created the SQL db and copied all existing data using DTS, I just need to keep the data up-to-date with the previous day's data.

Thanks for your help!

if you saved the DTS package, all you need to do is schedule it. In Enterprise Manager, right-click on the package and you will see an option for schedule.
 
The DTS package that I used created the tables and brought over all existing data. I want to only bring over the data from yesterday.

I am sure I can do this through DTS, just not quite sure about the SQL piece... I am using the DTS Query Builder to select the data and am having trouble with what to put after WHERE...

SELECT d_secs.acd, d_secs.row_date, d_secs.secsperday
FROM d_secs
WHERE d_secs.row_date=?????
