At the moment i have a piece of software that uses Access to store the data into a number of tables.
I am developing a new piece of software that has been built around SQL express and need to upgrade users that are using access. I have managed to write the installation to install etc and also the start of a script to insert all of the tables. I cant work out how to get the data into SQL express using a script.
Basically the access db (CentralDb) will be stored a a given location C:Program FilesCentralDB.mdb
The tables within the SQL version are indentical to access but i need a way of pulling out the information stored and putting it into SQL, and as there is no DTS i am becoming stuck on how to automate the process.

Hi, When using an Access Project 2002 connected with SQL Server Express in OLE DB it's impossible to work in creation mode. A message explains that this Access version is not compatible with this SQL version. Is there a service pack ?
hi. this is a beginner question as i am new to databases :)so, I have an access database and I want to take 2 tables from it and copy it to sql server in my ASP.NET application (.MDF file)I have visual studio 2005 installed on my computer and got no sql server 2005 installed on it. what is the way copy 2 tables to the ASP.NET database application?thanks alot guys.
[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
I was just trying to get some information on how to move an Access 2002 db to MS SQL. Also, what all do I need to be able to access the db from the web. For instance, query the db for info from a website. I don't have that much experience in SQL but I quiet a few programming languages so i'm sure i'll learn it quick, I usually do. Right now I have a server set up with MS SQL server 2005 with all the other things required for testing over in my own little world. DNS, Active Dir., etc....
I'm trying to do this because a friend of a friend has a business(small businessish) who wants to be able to view reports from queries over the internet. And i'm sure I can do it but i told them to let me give it a test run to make sure I can before we commit.
Currently i have a SQL database on our server and an adp file that allows the end user to open the database to play with the data.
On the client side the user navigates to the adp file from above and opens it which allows them to do their work.
I need the same database but for another department, so i copied the SQL and adp file to another folder and renamed it. I then open the adp file from the new folder created using Access 2002 on Win XP Pro SP2, click File navigate to connection and refresh the data source and server name but i cant see the new database i copied over.
I then stop/start the Sql server but same issue. I now think i might need an ODBC connection but when going into ODBC the other database has no connection setup in there therefore i guess i dont need to for the new database. I type the name of the new database in connection (Access 2002) and comes back with an error (Cant find it)
Any idea about this one? all im trying to do is have the same database with a different name and allowing clients to connect to it?
Can I use Visual Studio 2002 for creating deployment for SQL Express 2005 (like MSDE Deployment toolkit) or it is possible only with VS 2005? I need to create installer, that installs SQL Express 2005 and creates DB (executes sql file). How can I do it better?
I have one column in SQL Server 2005 of data type VARCHAR(4000).
I have imported sql Server 2005 database data into one mdb file.After importing a data into the mdb file, above column data type converted into the memo type in the Access database.
now when I am trying to import a data from this MS Access File(db1.mdb) into the another SQL Server 2005 database, got the error of Unicode Converting a memo data type conversion in Export/Import data wizard.
Could you please let me know what is the reason?
I know that memo data type does not supported into the SQl Server 2005.
I am with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2.
Please help me to understans this issue correctly?
We have a daily process, which copies millions of rows of data from one DB to another over Linked Server. Just checking on the best practise, are there more efficient ways than the Linked server to copy millions of rows of data from one DB to another? I checked bulk insert but that transfers the data from the file to DB not DB to DB.Â
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?
Does anyone out there have a good example of a VB Application for importing data from an Access DB into a SQL Server DB using DTS. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I am new to DTS 2005; having trouble on how to connect to MS Access to pull data? what kind of connection manager should I use (OLE?) and what specific Data Flow Source type? Please respond.
I am unable to update a table (either by opening it and entering datadirectly or through a form). I have set the recordsettype property toupdateable snapshot and have set the permissions to update inside ofthe SQL Server 2000 to checked. Unfortunately, these items have notworked. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.Dave Christman
I have developed a web application using ASP 3.0 with a Access DB 2002 backend. I have decided to recently to upgrade the database to SQL 2005 but I am having issues that I cannot work out because I am new to MsSql Language. It appears that the FORMAT function in Access does not work in MsSql ( does not recognise the function ) along with some of the PIVOT and TRANSFORM calls (coming up with "Syntax error near "..."") . Please see the below code. The areas that are showing up as errors when the application is run are highlighted in red.

I am trying to get information from two tables that are in an access database over to sql 2005. I did this via dts and saved the import options as a file, but when I run this as a job I get the following error: Date 2/27/2008 11:14:08 AM Log Job History (CombinationTable1) Step ID 0 Server D86J0PD1 Job Name CombinationTable1 Step Name (Job outcome) Duration 00:00:00 Sql Severity 0 Sql Message ID 0 Operator Emailed Operator Net sent Operator Paged Retries Attempted 0 Message The job failed. The Job was invoked by User BIZCHAIRDarleneMurphy. The last step to run was step 1 (CombinationTable1).
I have also tried to run this in the following way:
I like to give First Name and Last Name in two different text box and then hit the delete button (command button). Then it will do a query to find the person and delete the corresponding record from the table. Any kind of help will be appreciated. Thank you.
I have an Access DB with about 50 tables. When I run the upsize wizard all bur four tables import beautifully, data and all. Four of the tables fail with the message 'Table was skipped, or export failed'
When I try to IMPORT the data I get 100 or so messages like this one:
Warning 0x80047076: Data Flow Task: The output column "AssessPlanPHPID" (23) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (11) and component "Source - tblAssessPlan" (1) is not subsequently used in the Data Flow task. Removing this unused output column can increase Data Flow task performance. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
And the import fails. Note that the upsize creates the tables just fine, it just won't import the data.
I am getting a dump of information from SAP into an Excel file. I would like to take this excel file and import the data into a SQL 2005 Express database. Is this possible? Or will I need the full version of SQL to do this?
I would like to import data to a sqlserver express database. The database I am interested in importing was created in MSDE. I tried backing it up and using the restore function in sqlserver express but with no success. I have not been able to find an import function in the Management Studio Express interface. Is it possible to import this information, or should I get busy with my data entry?
I am currently Using SQL Server Express for testing purposes while waiting for SQL 2008 to be issued. (Our project will take some 2-3 years to complete so concerns about using a 'new' version of SQL Server are not pertinent). We have ordered this week Visual Studio 2008 as the shrink wrap version is due out the end of this week.
I have been able to migrate all our data from the old database (Superbase) but only field names and field types.
Indexes and validation stuff is lost.
The problem I have is that:
I can only import to an empty database, therefore if I start to create Indexes and otherwise modify the structure of this database in SQL Server then I will lose all this work on the next occasion I need to import (as Superbase will still continue to be our firm's current daily data handling tool for another year or two)
My thoughts where to create a copy of the original import, develop the constraints, indexes etc. on this secondary copy. then (on the day we are ready to migrate) empty the copy of data and import the data only
Does SQL Server Express have the tools to do this?
If not then are my best options to use SQL Server Beta until the new software is realeased (but notice that Visual Studio 2008 does not like SQL2008 - is there a fix for this?)
I hope this is the right forum for these questions

By default, the Upsizing Wizard transfers all indexes as nonclustered indexes. You can modify the Upsizing Wizard to transfer the primary key index to a clustered index. To make this change, start Microsoft Access and open the upsizing wizard library database. For Microsoft Access 95, the filename is Wzcs.mda. For Microsoft Access 97, the filename is Wzcs97.mda. When the database is open, click the Modules tab and open the UT_ModUserConstants module. Search down to the UT_CLUSTERED constant. Change the default value from False to True.
<<< end quote Question: I am using ACCESS 2002 upsize wizard, I searched my computer for *.mda and could not find any wzcs*.mda. How do I set it so that it creates clustered-index instead of non-clustered-index?
I have software that uses SQL Server Express as it's database. I am only able to import so many records until it stops and fails to allow me to import anymore.
I'm very new at this but, is there some type of limitation on Table size that's preventing me from importing anymore data?
I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me,
OK so there is some data in an Oracle DB that I have to summarize based on grouping info stored in a SqlServer DB. How can I import the Oracle data into a SqlServer temp table using SqlServer Express? Thanks.
I have function that returns a table of information about properties. Thedata comes from three different tables -- addresses (called PropertyID),property characteristics, and events concerning those properties (sales,appraisals, etc.), plus a table that maps one representation of propertytypes into another. The records are selected on the basis of location(longitude & latitude), property type, event type, and a range ofevent dates (upper and lower date specified). There are tens of millionsof records of all types, and almost any location, property type, event typeand date range will yield records.The heart of it is a cursor that selects records from joins on this basis:SELECT <a bunch of fields>FROM Property dJOIN PropTypeMap ptm ON ptm.PropertyTypeID = d.PropertyTypeIDJOIN PropertyID a ON a.PropID = d.PropIDJOIN Event e1 ON e1.PropID = d.PropIDLEFT OUTER JOIN Event e2 ON e2.PropID = d.PropIDWHEREd.LastSaleDate >= @LoDateAND a.GeoLongitude BETWEEN @LowerLon AND @UpperLonAND a.GeoLatitude BETWEEN @LowerLat AND @UpperLatAND ptm.PropCategory = @PropTypeAND a.GeoMatch <= @MinGeoQualityAND e1.EventTypeID = @SaleEventTypeAND e1.TransactionType = 'R'AND e1.EventDt BETWEEN @LoDate AND @HiDateAND e1.EventAmt > 0AND e2.EventTypeID = @AssessmentEventTypeAND e2.EventDt <= @HiDateAND e2.EventAmt > 0Each property has one PropertyID record, one Property record, and N Eventrecords (average perhaps five).What is the mystery? If @HiDate, which is the upper end of the time window,is 2002-11-08 or earlier, nothing is returned. If it's 2002-11-09 or later,oodles of records are found. I get the same query plan for either one, andbased on the content of the data, they should return almost exactly the sameset of records -- exactly the same set in almost all cases, in fact.Is 2002-11-08/09 some sort of magic dividing point? I have replicated thison the large database and on a smaller test version on another SQL Server.(SQL Server 2000) I dropped the indexes and tried it, andthe same thing happened. This is driving me crazy!
I'm about to embark on writing some code in perl or VBscript that automatically synchronises a constantly updated Access database with an MSSQL database.
I know MSSQL has an import tool built into Enterprise manager but I'm wondering if theres a stored procedure that does this?
The way I'm thinking of doing it is to read the all the access tables into separate hash arrays and then INSERTing them into the MSSQL database after checking for any duplicates. This all sounds a bit time consuming (there are a large number of tables) and processor intensive.
If anyones done anything like this before, I'd love to hear their views......!
