Insertion In To SQL Server
Sep 12, 2006I have an Access front end to a table residing on an SQL server. I am accessing the SQL server through a VPN over a DSL line.
Now, I have some data I need to insert in to that table. It sits in a text file. All in all, there are around 9000 records in the text file.
I had excel reading the text file, then cleaning up the data, then I would link the excel table via ODBC, and link to the SQL Server table, then do an INSERT INTO ServerTable Select * from ExcelTable; That would take about 22 minutes to finish.
I cleaned things up a bit, using VB to directly read the text file, and I can insert in to the ServerTable directly via an ADO recordset in about 18 minutes.
I want to get the time down further.
Now, if I read that text file and use ADO, I can insert all the records in an Access table on network share across that same VPN in about 4 minutes, so I figure there is about 14 minutes of overhead in dealing with the SQL server.
So is there anything I can do to decrease the amount of time it takes to insert the 9000 records in to the ServerTable?
Thanks,
David
PS. Oddly, I tried to limit the number of fields I data I upload, and found it actually took MORE time to send one field than it did to send all 30 some fields in the full dataset. I really can't figure that out.

MS Access Time Delays After Insertion
Nov 6, 2006Dear All,
I am facing a strange problem off late with the MS Access database. After Insertion of records, I close the recordset and not the connection as I use a global connection, which is set at the time of the app launch. Now, after closing the recordset I move on to the next job in the program flow and return a success to the calling function. Once the value is received by the calling function it opens the same table and finds no records there. I could come around this prob by providing a delay of a few seconds and then returning the value to the calling function. Can someone help me understand this prob and the solution to this?
Thanks in advance.

Prevention Incomplete Data Insertion
Oct 2, 2005Hello,
Does anybody know of a quick and easy way of preventing data insertion to a table from a form, so that table doesn't get updated unless all form fields are populated?
Thanks
Prevent Insertion Of Blank Records
Nov 27, 2006I have a form that is opened by the following code:
Private Sub Status_AfterUpdate()
If Status.Value = "WIP - Snagged" Or Status.Value = "WIP - Suspended" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "NotesJobChanged", , , acFormAdd
Forms!NotesJobChanged!txtJobNo.Value = Me!txtJobNo.Value
Forms!NotesJobChanged!Date.SetFocus
End If
This 'NotesJobChanged' form has three text boxes on it - JobNo, Date & Note. The JobNo is autofilled from the code above. If nothing is entered into the other fields and the form is closed this record is entered into the database with only the JobNo filled in.
What I want is a way to force the user to enter data into these fields. I don't want to set the 'Required' property of the field to yes as it generates an awful system error message. If the user attempts to close the form without filling it out can they be reminded that they have to, but with an option then to close the form if they really don't want to enter any data? If they do chose to close without filling it out can it be prevented from being added to the database.
Hope this makes sense :)
Many thanks in advance

Sep 21, 2007:)Hello,
I have one Access table called plan_location where it contains the following columns: shape_id (number), seqnum (number), xcoord (number) and ycoord(number). The shape_id is a individual number for each planname, the seqnum is the number of points in the plan and the xcoord ycoord indicate the x,y location on the ground.
See example:
shape_idseqnumxcoordycoord
700609719.4294818231.424
701609745.694818251.119
702609755.9194818230.81
703609781.7674818243.946
704609822.6834818254.656
705609871.714818261.276
706609879.4324818226.623
707609814.9484818218.313
708609763.8424818198.827
709609730.0664818165.801
7010609698.2784818123.723
7011609668.3594818142.025
7012609714.9354818201.641
7013609729.6864818214.026
7014609720.4294818240.424
In the above example, although this is only one plan of thousands, the xcoord/ycoord value for seqnum=0 is not the same as the xcoord/ycoord value found in seqnum=14, thus this indicates an error.
I need to find a way to isolate those shape_id's with the beginning seqnum of 0 that is not the same as the highest seqnum of 14, in this case. The seqnum can range from 0 to any number, depending on the number of points.
If the seqnum of 0's xcoord/ ycoord values to NOT match the highest seqnum's xcoord/ycoord values, I need to find a way to insert the next highest seqnum and add the same xcoord/ycoord values found for seqnum = 0
How can this be done?
Thanks in advance..........CementCarver:confused:
Not sure how this is done..............
Starting Point For Db.
Jul 27, 2005Hi All.
This may be a bit of a strange one, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas.
I would like to create a db which is a bit like the directions bit of multimap.co.uk
As per the attached jpg, i would like a db so I can input a starting box and end box, and it would tell me the shortest distance, longest distance, route via boxes etc.
e.g
Box A as start and Box F as end. Shortest route is via Box D, longest route via boxes B and C etc.
The db would obviously not for measuring distances between boxes!!!....but thought this may explain it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Frank.

SQL Stuck Point
Oct 17, 2006Hello all,
I am currently working on an sql query to find employees which handled more orders than average in a certain half year. For arguments sake the half year is august-dec1997. I will use two queries, one to calculate COUNT and one for the avg:
So far I have the COUNT query sorted:
SELECT Employees.EmployeeID, Count(Orders.EmployeeID) AS CountOfOrders
FROM Employees, Orders
WHERE (((Employees.EmployeeID)=[Orders].[EmployeeID]))
GROUP BY Employees.EmployeeID;
However, I am uncertain how to proceed from here and find the >AVG part of this query. Any help would be appreciated- thankyou :o
To add to this I think the next table should be like this:
SELECT qrycountOfOrders.EmployeeID, Employees.FirstName, Employees.LastName, qrycountOfOrders.CountOfOrders,
WHERE
FROM qrycountOfOrders, Employees
WHERE qrycountOfOrders.EmployeeID = Employees.EmployeeID;
But I am unsure where to put the >=AVG...
All Problems Point To This
Aug 3, 2006My Access DB is built and works great. All problems that I have seem to revolve around the 2 tables that I link to Excel spreadsheets. The spreadsheets come from downloads. The problems are:
Can't format fields in a linked table. and the download comes unformatted.
Can't make DB Multi-User because the Linked Spreadsheets restrict access to more than one user at a time.
Is it possible (Practical) to build a macro that would access the spreadsheet on a regular basis and import it (Overwriting the previous data in the table) into Access?
I would really appreciate anyone that has a solution. I am ready to pull out the last 3 hairs I have on my head.
Point Me In The Right Direction
Sep 1, 2006Dont use access much but I have basic db dev. skills. That said, here's my dillema:
I have a front desk entry form fro service calls. There is a entry field for customerID. I would like to auto populate f_name, l_name etc... from just entering customerID. I know what I would do in an SQL situation, but how does that transfer over to access? Any help would be great. Thanks.
Remove Zero Before The Decimal Point
Mar 9, 2008Hello,
I have a lot of values that look like this: 0.524, 0.673, and 0.398. I hate to look at these numbers with the zero before the decimal point and would like to find out how to remove them. I know that it's possible in Excel, but I'm not sure of how to do it in Access.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Decimal Point Problems
Aug 7, 2007I am working on a database that tracks things for a welding shop. Because of this I am using heights in millimeters and decimal points are necessary. The page I am using is an input form with a subform tied to a specific record. I can under no circumstance get my decimals to stay put in the input form or in the table. I have tried changing to decimal and putting the decimal to two and the precision to five, long integers with decimals to 2. Formatting with #.## so it maintains it in the text box... but nothing has worked. Has anyone run into this problem?
Thanks

Decimal Point Issue On Currency
Jan 12, 2007ok.. this is not a hugely important issue, however.. it is a slight annoyance that i would like to resolve if it is possible..most of my currencies will be whole numbers like twenty pounds or five pounds..so i chose to set the decimal point to 0 which displays it like this..£50which is better then setting it on auto (£50.00) which my user does not like..(uneccessary zeros)however.. every now and then there will be a carpark cost of £2.30..if i set the decimal point to 0 then £2.30 will display as £2 which is no good.. if i set the decimal point to 1 then it will display it as £2.3 which is no good..so is there a way to make sure that all currencies display as decimal point 0 values.. eg £34.. £2.. £145 and if a price happens to involve some pence.. such as two pounds 30 pence.. then display it as £2.30 or £103.55... etc....i hope that is clear
View 4 Replies View RelatedLaugh And Point At The Syntax Moron
Sep 15, 2005Feel free to pick on me. I can't get syntax right. Ever. So when I can't figure it out I just try to find an example of what I want to do and use it as a guide. But I've not been able to find a single example (and I looked at a lot of threads and the *shudder* help files) of using "OR" in a DSum within a single field. Here is a simplified version of my statement:
=DSum("[Contribution_Amount]","tbl_CONTRIBUTION","[Employee_ID] =" & Forms!frmNew_Contribution!Employee_ID & " and [Special_Case] Is Null")
This works perfectly. I want it to look like this:
=DSum("[Contribution_Amount]","tbl_CONTRIBUTION","[Employee_ID] =" & Forms!frmNew_Contribution!Employee_ID & " and [Special_Case] = 'stringABC' or Is Null")
But this errors. And I've tried every combination of ' " () & # I can think of and everything errors, unless I completely set the OR apart into a new criteria, in which case it executes but produces results that are not what I'm trying to get. It also works if I add "= 'stringABC'" and remove the IsNull. I just can't seem to have both. Does anyone know how to write this properly?
