converting PT2 database to PT3

[detroitkid]

I installed the complete version of PT3 w/ postgresql and had the same problem (blank dropdown menu) when I tried to convert the access database into postgresql. So, following the above instructions (installing ver 8.2 of postgresql then doing the convert to it), I installed vers. 8.2 of postgresql, then was able to convert the PT2 database. Now when I go into PT3 to try to import it, it can find no PT2 databases! What am I doing wrong? I was told by Pat to post this here... apparently he doesn't know anything about PT3 logic.

If you have Access PT2 databases the best thing to do is export the hands from PT2 and import to PT3.

You obviously didn't read my post. I have already converted the access database.

Nevermind. I just exported the hands from the database and am now importing into PT3. I should have done that in the first place. I wasted
2 hours doing the conversion into postgresql.

I did read your post, and the export/import method is the easiest way in this sort of case.

I have the same problem. Is exporting the hands still the best solution for this problem?

If so, I understand that you can't convert the results info from the Tournament files and you have to re-import the Tournament Summaries from PokerStars manually.

Does anyone know far back you can get a Tournament Summary from PokerStars?

If you imported your tournament summaries into PT2 they should export; the only time you won't get summaries using the PT2 export is if you entered them manually.

I don't know how far back PokerStars will send you summaries from but from what I've been told PS's support is quite good and should get you an answer on that fairly quickly.

You are correct, the summaries did come along with the imported hands. :-)

It looks like you can get a PStars tournament summary for a least a year ago, I got my oldest one from 11 1/2 months ago. Not sure if they keep them forever or not...

Either way though you're good now yes?

Yes, the converted files are good so we are 98% of the way there. I've got a few minor problems that I've reported in other areas.
