I know that this could open a can of worms but is the above statement true. I have always avoided using delet and append due to database bloat. I know its more difficult to set the field types in a make table query but it means that the database doesn’t need to be compacted nearly as much as delet and append.
If my understanding is incorrect please explain top me why delete and append are better.
Thanks
How can you determine the name of a table that has/is going to be created by a make-table?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello All, I'm using MS Access 2003 for a web DB... Am wondering.. is it bad to use Make-Table queries for the web..? Or should I just do all the SQL joining and linking stuff just with more SQL code?
Just curious about the impact Make-Table queries have on the Web.. Slower? Not a good idea?
Thanks for any input you can give

I have a linked table with 3 significant columns in it:
Marque
Model
Volumes
(there's actually about 12, but I only need these)
and I need to create a new table summarising the contents and creating new columns at the same time
Marque
Model
Model_name (concatenate marque and model, easy to do)
Vols sorted: Descending
Rank (this is the problem)
I need to 'Rank' the table so the model with the highest volumes is ranked #1 the second highest is #2 and so on.
Is there a command within access to allow this to happen? in SQL-Plus from Oracle I can use the Rownum command to create the entry, but this does not have an equivilent in access.
At present, I'm creating the table without the rank field, then adding it in design view, setting it for autonumber, saving, and resetting it to number. This is long-winded and frankly, messy and wrong. I shuld be able to do this in one go, but I can't. I've been using access for about 6 years solid and have not been able to resolve this 3-month-old problem and it's driving me mad.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have 4 queries needed to power one report. I've tried combining the queries into one so I can run the report off that. However, there is too much data and I get all sorts of errors. My only solution was to toss that data into a table thereby eliminating all the calculations and expressions and cleaning up the data. Is there a more elegant solution to this issue?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to put together a make table query, already got all the fields sorted the way i want the problem is that query is located in my databases Front End and i need the table to be made in the Back End (giggity), the filepath for the back end is actually stored in a "Master Control" table if this makes the process easier...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a complex series of calculations to perform, and I have found the best way to achieve my end is to create new tables by the Make Table queries.
The trouble is I have many tables to create and the downstream tables refer to the previously created tables; I have recently discovered that queries perform much quicker if they are indexed (duplicates OK). I've looked at my tables created by the MakeTable queries, and they all seem not to be indexed.
How do I make them indexed automatically?
I am developing a Make Table Query from 2 tables, one of which has an "Employee Name" field (lastname,firstname) and the other table has separate fields for LastName and FirstName. I've been able to accomplish almost what I need by:
WHERE ((([Table 1].[EMPLOYEE NAME]) Like [Table 2].[LAST NAME] & "*"));
Which works fine except when there are 2 employees having the same last name, then it generates duplicates. I suspect there must be a way to do this by incorporating the first name field in the sql statement but that's beyond my ability. I realize that names are not good things to base a query on, but the 2 existing tables have been preset and populated by others and I don't really have the capability to change them.
I have a make table query which creates the new table on the local front end.I have now split the DB, so need to know how I can get this query to make the table on the BE i.e. how do i link it.

I have a Make Table query that includes a new field concatenated from a numeric field and a memo field, with some assorted text elements -
Issue Description:"("&[number]&") "&[Description]
When I run the Make Table, the new field "Issue Description" is created as a text field, NOT as a memo field.
Is there any way to insure that this field is created as a memo field.
Thanks.

I am trying to run a make table query that involves using a linked table in Ms from a SharePoint list. However, a few columns I wish to include in my Make table query are calculated columns from the SharePoint list.
The make table query will not run saying "Calculated columns are not allowed in SELECT INTO statements".
Can any think of a solution or a potential work around to this?

View 13 Replies View RelatedWondering whether it is possible to use the 'Make Table' function in conjunction with a union query. My early attempts have failed and I am relatively new to Access.
I am using Access 2010.
I can add to my make table query UDate: Date() that will add a populated field to the output table that has today's date in it.
I can also add something similar like this for example V_Num: [V_Number] and when ran, will prompt with a dialogue box to add some data, it will then create the table with that new field name and populated with the text from the dialogue box.
But how can I automate this to skip the dialogue box and just add it to the expression?
I have a make table query that gets its info from another table that is updated weekly. I would like that when we run the Query Type (Make Table), we would like to add a primary key to a field that exists already starting at 1 every time the query is run.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a running total query that seems to run but when I try to total the query results then Access will be "Not Responding". I tried to change it to a Make Table query because I need to use the running total result in another query. So I created a table but when I try to run the make table query it just says "Run Query" at the bottom. Here is the query:
SELECT [OTMissing].[Employee], [OTMissing].[AsOf], [OTMissing].[HRsEarn], (SELECT Sum(OT1.[HRsEarn]) FROM [OTMissing] As OT1
WHERE OT1.[Employee]=[OTMissing].[Employee] AND OT1.[AsOf] <=[OTMissing].[AsOf]) AS RunningTotal, [OTMissing].[RemainPP] INTO OTGenerated
FROM [OTMissing]
ORDER BY [OTMissing].[Employee], [OTMissing].AsOf;
My OTMissing query is 47061 rows. Does that have something to do with it? The only other thing it might be is that most of the records have 0 although I'm not sure why it would be a problem I thought I would at least mention it.
Have a Make table query that needs to create (add) several new fields where each field must be numeric design.
Have tried:
Score1: Not Null - does not seem to work (results in a Binary field)
Score1: 0 - which does give me the numeric field designation but every field in table contains a 0.
Would like to show Blank field (makes data input easier at a later time) but still have the Numeric designation.
I am trying to make a crosstab query to filter my records from my table.
Here is the scenario.
I want to make a query that will return me my Rep ID, Rep Name, his Bonus and his GV-Q (another value) based on every month.
Now I make a crosstab query and here is the syntax.
Code:
TRANSFORM First([TBL Qualification Data India].[Bonus Rank]) AS [FirstOfBonus Rank]
SELECT [TBL Qualification Data India].[Rep #], [TBL Qualification Data India].[Rep Name]
FROM [TBL Qualification Data India]
GROUP BY [TBL Qualification Data India].[Rep #], [TBL Qualification Data India].[Rep Name]
PIVOT [TBL Qualification Data India].Period;
This resulted in a column for Rep Number, one column for Rep Name and columns for all the period of Bonus I am going to have., so there are basically 9 columns for this till this month for each month and bonus value shows as values for all these month (period) columns.
Now in this same syntax, I want to have my Rep GV-Q value as well as his bonus to show in the same query, I read and came to know that it's not possible to directly have two values or two column headings in a crosstab query, I must have to make a new crosstab query and then use a normal select query to display records from these two crosstab queries, so I went ahead and made a new similar but with one value field changed crosstab query and here is the syntax for that.
Code:
TRANSFORM First([TBL Qualification Data India].[GV-Q]) AS [FirstOfGV-Q]
SELECT [TBL Qualification Data India].[Rep #], [TBL Qualification Data India].[Rep Name]
FROM [TBL Qualification Data India]
GROUP BY [TBL Qualification Data India].[Rep #], [TBL Qualification Data India].[Rep Name]
PIVOT [TBL Qualification Data India].Period;
Now after this how to make a select query to show the data from these two queries.
I can make a normal query based on these two crosstab queries and manually add all fields and then I would have my result but then after every month I have to manually enter these two extra month details from both crosstab queries to my final query and that's not what I want.
Is there any method to do this by gathering data from these two queries into one and achieve the result I want or if there is any other approach to tackle this.

I am fairly new to Acces 2010.I have two seperate tables hat I need to use to compare data. As you can see table A and table B have some of the same item numbers but they also have different item numbers that are not other table. Also some of the item numbers are duplicated in each table but that is okay because the cost of the item is different. Both tables contain item numbers for the products. I want all of Table A item numbers including the item numbers that are in table B. But I also want Table B item numbers except for the item numbers that are also in Table A. In the real raw data file some of the item number fields are blank but the other fields have values. How should I query these tables so that I achieve the correct results?
