When importing a Microsoft Access97 database table, I noticed it imported Text fields as datatype NVARCHAR instead of VARCHAR. Why is this, and will this cause me any problems in the future (i.e. related fields in other tables may be VARCHAR,etc)? If so, what can I do about it?

I'm having problems seeing the correct data type when linking my Access tables to MS SQL Server 2005. My varchar(max) fields are showing as text(255). I'm using the SQL Native Client.Has anyone else ssen this issue?

I want to import an Access table into a SQL table. Some of the integer Access fields have a null value, but when they are imported I want them to be 0 or zero in my SQL table. How can I do this please ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedQuestion: Why would I not be able to import an Access 97 table inwhich some records have null values in fields that allow null values?Wouldn't the table's design be imported first, bringing the columns'"allow nulls" attribute with it?I'm dealing with both text and numeric columns. Not all columnscontaining nulls cause an error.Thanks,Bob C.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to import few tables from MS Access to MS SQL but the table structure in Access is always different, as I would like the destination table in SQL to be.
Therefore I would like that a table would be created in SQL at runtime, according to the structure the Access table accessed has.
Can anyone help me import a ms access (97) table into a sql 2005 express database? The sql database already contains other tables but I would like to add some of my older access tables to this database without having to re-enter all the data. Please help! Thanks!

I am trying to simplify a query given to me by one of my collegues written using the query designer of Access. Looking at the query there seem to be some syntax differences, so to see if this was the case I thought I would import the database to my SQL Server Developer edition.
I tried to start the wizard from within SQL Server Management Studio Express as shown in one of the articles on MSDN which did not work, but the manual method also suggested did work.
Trouble is that it gets most of the way through the import until it spews forth the following error messages:
- Prepare for Execute (Error)

There does not seem to be any method of specifying a number of sessions, so I don't see how to get round the problem.
Does anyone know how I can get the import to work?

Hi, We have moved our Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005. A number of the original tables contained MEMO fields and these became nvarchar(MAX) fields in SS 2005. We continue to use the original Access application and therefore have linked the tables to the Access application via ODBC connection. However, the fields that were originally Memo in Access native tables are brought over as TEXT fields (255 char limit) by the linking process.
Is there a way I can link the tables and have those big text fields be Memo fields in the linked tables?? Or is there some way to work around this? (Moving to Access 2007 is not an option at this time.) I would really appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks.

an error, incorrect syntax, was generated when the following query was tried:
CREATE TABLE ASPNET2(id smallint IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,word nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,definition nvarchar(MAX) NOT NULL)
I wanted to use nvarchar(MAX) because something I read suggested that I couldn't do editing with the controls if a variable was set to text.
Thanks.

Hey folks, the question is fairly simple, unfortunately the answer has proven rather elusive.
Is it possible to declare a variable which would then be used to identify either a column or table in an SQL statement?
Here's a basic idea of what I'd like to do:
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT *
FROM @myVar
or
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT @myVar
FROM MyTable
I'm probably looking for some sort of built in function that will accept an argument here... like COLUMN(@myVar) or something of the like. I just don't know where to look...

Hi:
I recently use SQL 7 import utility to import 62 tables from a Access 97 database. It works OK in terms of table and data. But it did not brign in the relationship nor indexes which are despertely a must. Do I have to get upsizing software? If so, what is your recommendation?

Hello all.
I was wondering if there is a way to import an Access database into an MS SQL (MSDE) database using OSQL? I need to write an updater to send out to some customers, that will accomplish this. The Access database and its corresponding SQL database have the same table structure, i just need to update the data. I would like to use OSQL so I can make this process automated, behind the scenes of my GUI updater, for the customer.
I would love to be able to do something like this:
osql -E -Q"IMPORT DATABASE blabla FROM DISK = 'C:labla.mdb' WITH REPLACE"
Any ideas? Thanks so much all for looking.

Is there a way to import an access table into Microsoft SQL Server Express with Server Management Studio? I prefer not to use the upsize tool from access. Another option would be to import from a text file, if someone can explain how to do this.

Hello,
I'm trying to import some data from a table in an Access Database into my SQL Server.
It's one field I'm having a problem with and I don't know how to get round it.
Basically the field in Access is called "DueToStart" and is a "Date/Time" type field.
It shows values as "09:00:00" etc.
When I try to import this table into SQL, I get the following message, and I don't know how to get round it.
"Error as destination for row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.
Insert Error, column 3('DueToStart', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Invalid character value for cast specification."

I had this question for quite a long time.
It seems the latter one don't take any extra storage space than the previous one.
As long as the real string length is less than 10.
Is that mean the latter one not cost anything?
I once heard the different is when they are in memory. But not sure of it.
Can anyone explain it and provide some official reference on it?
Thank.

hi, my company needs to import 3 access or excel ,customer order table, into
ms sql database daily.orders(basic customer info), items(product info and quanity), options (options of quantity). The problem is that 3 table has to get additional column when it is imported into sql. For example, when an order comes in its intranet application, it will keep track if it is in stock or out of stock checking the product table. those 2 databases ms sql and access or excel has identical columns but sql one has more in addition . This is my first time to work this kind of case and if somebody could give me a abstract step or suggestions to accomplish this.I'll be very happy;)

Hello, All:
I have many, many Access databases that are roughly 1.5GB-3GBs each and they have millions of records. Each MS Access Database file corresponds to one Database in SQL server. I'm trying to simply transform the data as it is in Access to MS SQL 2005.
I'm using the 64 bit version of Windows Server 2003 and the 64 bit version of SQL 2005. The server is running four dual core AMD Operton processors and has 8GB of RAM with a 1TB RAID 5 configuration. I think the hardware should be sufficient but the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard can't seem to handle the large number of tables/records. If I do one table at a time, it works well; however, it produces the following error message whenever I try to import the entire database:
Pre-execute (Error)

I have created some DB tables on SQL Server. Now I want to import some data from Access using Data Transformation Services.
The APPLICATION table I have created has the following columns:
AppID, AppName, AppMnem, GripsID, Decommissioned, Last Modified, Modified By
AppID is the primary key and is an identity column with an autoincrement on insert.
The query I used to import the data from Access is:
select `T>Application>General`.`Application Name`, `T>Application>General`.`Application Mnem`, `T>Application>General`.`GripsID`, `T>Application>General`.`Decommissioned`, `T>Application>General`.`Last Modified`, `T>Application>General`.`Modified By`
from `T>Application>General`
where `T>Application>General`.`Application Mnem`='TMS'
order by `T>Application>General`.`Application Mnem`
The transformation I used is:
'************************************************* *********************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
' Copy each source column to the
' destination column
'************************************************* ***********************
Function Main()
DTSDestination("AppName") = DTSSource("Application Name")
DTSDestination("AppMnem") = DTSSource("Application Mnem")
DTSDestination("GripsID") = DTSSource("GripsID")
DTSDestination("Decommissioned") = DTSSource("Decommissioned")
DTSDestination("Last Modified") = DTSSource("Last Modified")
DTSDestination("Modified By") = DTSSource("Modified By")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
However, I keep gettting the following error:
Error at destination for row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.
Instert error, column 1 ('AppID', DBTYPE_I4), status 10: Integrity violation; attempt to insert null data or data which violates constraints.
Unspecified Error
Any ideas as to what the problem is?
Thank in advance
