> I was attempting to migrate a large MSSQL2000 DB when I was

> primary key. I then update the type map for int to be int8
> and date to be timestamp which helped but still gave me
> problems. I then realised that the tables that where
> failings had timestamps as part of there primary keys (log
> tables). On investigation I found that the milliseconds
> where not being migrated.

> MSSQL2000 only show seconds by default for a select

> Fix:

> For timestamp fields replace 'select datefield from tables'
> with 'select CONVERT(char(30), datefield, 121) as datefield
> from table'

> This was harder than I expected as the current code does a
