Importing Access Databases Into SQL Server
Jul 23, 2005
Hi there,
I have a situation where an application needs to import data from
number of access mdb files on a daily bases. The file names change
every day. The data import is very straight forward:
insert into sql_table select * from acess_table
There are up to 8 tables in each access file and some access files will
have less. So the process needs to figure out which tables exist in
Access mdb file and import them whole into sql staging tables.
Any recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all,
From SQL Server 2000 Import wizard if we use Copy Objects & data between SQL Server Databases it'll copies tables with primary key. Similar to this what is the alternative method in SQL Server 2005.
Please suggest me to solve the problem
Thanks in advance

We are attempting to import data from Microsoft Access databases to SQL Server 2000 using the DTS Import/Export Wizard. I have a few questions.
1) Some of the Access tables have a single field for combined date time with the Access data type set to Date/Time and no formatting set. When the conversion happens these become text data type in the SQL Server. Is there a way to have these become either the smalldatetime SQL Server data type or datetime SQL Server data type?
2) On some other Access Tables with the data type set again to Date/Time again no formatting is set but some columns are dates with the date in the Short Date format, and some columns are times in the Short Time format. Some of these columns may contain null values. This is causing the following error.
Error at Destination for Row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.
Insert error column 152 ('ViewMentalTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Insert error column 150 ('VRptTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Insert error column 147 ('ViewAppTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Insert error column 144 ('VPreTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Insert error column 15 ('Time', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
We thought maybe it was due to the naming of the one field as "Time" so we changed the name of that field but again the same error occurs but with the new field name.
When we click on the transform button to view the data types none of them are listed as timestamp.
Is it possible that the DB Admin saved some tables and then later on tried to add tables to the same database that is causing this error?
Are we better off trying to import the table structure first and then fill the tables later?
Any help is appreciated.

[Note: originally posted this on microsoft.public.sqlserver.programmingbut had no luck there...sorry if you're seeing this twice]Some facts:1) I have an Access database (.mdb file) sitting on my harddrive.2) I have Visual Studio 2005, Sql Server Express, and Sql ServerManagement Studio Express.3) I do *not* have Microsoft Access.What I'm trying to do:I simply want to import the Access database into Sql Server Express. Inother words, I want to end up with a Sql Server Express database thathas all the same tables, keys, and relationships as the Access databaseas well as all the data from it. I can live without the queries storedin the Access database, but those would be nice too.What I've tried so far:I'm able to connect to the Access database using the "Linked Servers"features in Management Studio Express. From there, I was able to writesome simple Transact-SQL queries to find out what tables are in theAccess database and copy them, one at a time, into a Sql Server Expressdatabase.This is definitely a good start, but it doesn't take care of theprimary keys or foreign keys. There appear to be procedures for thoseas well (sp_primarykeys, sp_foreignkeys), but I keep thinking theremust be an easier way.Which brings me to...Questions:Without having to buy additional software/tools, can I import thisAccess database without a lot of programming? If so, how?Thanks in advance,-Dan

Hello all.
I was wondering if there was a simple Import statement I could use in SQL to import an Access Table into SQL Server 2005.
I know how to use the SSIS Import/Export Wizard, but that seems excessive to import a single 204 record table
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
How can I provide a user read only access to all the databases on the server. I have 15 databases on the server. I know I can give db_datareader access in each database individually but that is time consuming and I have 10 servers for this to be done.
thanks in advance.

I have a test server where I was experiencing security/rights anomalies. I tried disabling the BUILTINAdministrators account, closed SEM, and when I reopened it, I could not access my Server (all databases,etc.are on local machine). I thought I could just use the SQL accounts (sa, etc.) to connect, but they all fail?? I tried creating a new registration, and that didn't work either. Since I deleted the old registration, and I cannot reconnect, what are my options(short of restoring image)? If I re-install SQL will all my databases still be there? Is there another way to get access back?? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a small client installable web application which used to work great on 32 bit machines. Well now clients are starting to use x64 Windows 2003 servers and things have begun to unravel. W2K3 x64 does not have any of the JET database drivers needed to communicate to the Access databases and it doesn't look like they're coming anytime soon.
Is SQL Server Express the new replacement for Access databases on x64 machines. Does Microsoft intend on moving some of the JET drivers over from 32 bit servers. I know that you can run IIS in 32 bit mode and everything is fine, but I can't ask everyone to do that.
Is SQL Server Express something that I can expect people to have installed, it sure doesn't sounds like it. After reading some posts, it sounds like it's a bit of a hastle to install.
Thanks in advance for your time.

I want to import data from a live site database into a development database (SQL Server 2005 Express) using the DTSWizard. Once I copy/paste the live database to my dev machine, I cant attach the live site database because it has the same name as the database on the dev site.A simple solution I would assume is to change one of the names. But I can't seem to change the "orignal file name". A backup/restore won't work for me because I made table/field changes to the dev database. Thanks --Dietrich

Hi everyone,
Hope somebody can help me on this.
I did a full BACKUP for two SQL databases using SQL Server Managament Studio. When trying to RESTORE the DBs, I get the following error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)"
There are NO users using the application. These are DBs for the Portfolio Server 2007 application.
After exploring a little bit, I found that there are several "SLEEPING" processes with an "AWATING COMMAND" flag. The processes come from the Portfolio Server Application, maybe from previous sessions.
Can they be deleted? if so, would there be any serious consequences?
Thank you for your help on this.

Hi,
We have imported several databases from an old SQL Server 2000 deployment in a SQL Server 2005 instance. After the installations we have check that the import doesn't create the logins associated with the users nad now it seems impossible to create "manually" the login. What should be do? Re-import the database after having created the login?
Thanks

I'm trying import 7 tables from each of 30 SQL2005 databases into a SQL2005 Consolidation database. I can simply create data flow tasks for each one but instead I would like loop through a list instead.
I've created a table to house the names of the databases from which I want to import the data.
I've created SQL task to return the database names from the table as a "Full Result Set".
I've assigned the result set to a user variable (type = Object) an named the result name 0
What I'd like to do is create a data flow task which connects to each of the databases and imports 7 specified tables from each database appending the table name with my database name in the result set.
I'm stuck on how I'd set the connection strings in my OLE DB Source in my Data Flow task. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.

Dear All,
I need to import data from Access 2000 into SQL 2000.
The collection of Access 2000 databases I have are build identically, with differing data. I need to get that data into some tables I have built in SQL 2000 .
I understand there are 3 main methods, DTS, BCP, Bulk Insert.
I would prefer not to use BCP since I want to write a Stored Proceedure to call the data in. Any thoughts ?

Hi guys
I need help, I am building an Intranet for my company, and we have a system here that we use to clock in and clock out, and the data is stored in an Access database. Now the HR manager needs to run a report weekly for all the temps to see what time they clocked in and out. I have designed a web form where he puts in the date from and date to and select the employee, BUT the problem is I'm using SQL Server, I import the Access database to SQL every morning. Now I need to know How can I have Job in SQL that will import the data automatically without me having to do it manually every morning.
How do I do this using SSIS and DTS I'm using SQL Server 2005.
Thanx guys, plz help

Let me describe my situation
I am running SQL Server 2005. I created all the tables/columns/keys I needed. I export the data to Access.
In Access, I add all the data for the tables. Then I use SSIS to import-append the data back in to SQL Server 2005.
I get this error:
-------------------------
- Pre-execute (Error)
Messages
Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
-----------------------
I can use the import tool (SSIS) to create new tables, but not append the data. Creating new tables makes all the tables to lose information about field lengths etc, so this is not an option
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am trying to import a table from Access and/or Excel. I have attempted with both programs. I get errors possibly due to some bad data over the years. Is it possible to tell SQL Server to import a table and discard any errors? or is there a way to scrub the data before importing to make sure all possible causes of errors are corrected or addressed?
