View 4 Replies View RelatedAccess Memo Field To SQL Server Text Field
Nov 19, 2006Hi,
I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000.
The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).
I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.
Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import?
I would appreciate any pointers.
MS Access Memo Field To SQL Server Text Field
Aug 20, 2006Hi all,
i've a reasonable amount of experience with MS Access and less
experience with SQL Server. I've just written an .NET application that
uses an SQL Server database. I need to collate lots of data from around
the company in the simplest way, that can then be loaded into the SQL
Server database.
I decided to collect the info in Excel because that's what most people
know best and is the quickest to use. The idea being i could just copy
and paste the records directly into the SQL Server database table (in
the same format) using the SQL Server Management Studio, for
example.
Trouble is, i have a problem with line feed characters. If an Excel
cell contains a chunk of text with line breaks (Chr(10) or Chr(13))
then the copy'n'paste doesn't work - only the text up to the first line
break is pasted into the SQL Server database cell. The rest is not
pasted for some reason.
I've tried with MS Access too, copying and pasting the contents of a
memo field into SQL Server database, but with exactly the same problem.
I've tried with 'text' or 'varchar' SQL Server database field formats.
Since i've no experience of using different types of databases
interacting together, can someone suggest the simplest way of
transferring the data without getting this problem with the line feeds?
I don't want to spend hours writing scripts/programs when it's just
this linefeed problem that is preventing the whole lot just being
cut'n'pasted in 5 seconds!
cheers

Export Access Memo Field To SQL Text Field
May 30, 2006Hi,
Can anyone point me any solution how to export a MEMO field from an Access database to a TEXT field from an MS SQL Server 2000. The import export tool from SQL server doesn't import these fields if they are very large - around 9000 characters.
Thanks.
Converting Yes/No, Access Field To SQL
Oct 24, 2000I did create the field on table as TinyInt. I created an appending query and appended the records to the SQL table. Now I have 0's or 255's in the field.
Shouldn't they be 0's and 1's instead????
What am I doing wrong?
What's the best way to convert the Yes/No fields into SQL, since I want to keep the access front end.
Thanks for any help.
Need To Convert A MEMO Field In Access
Jun 25, 2007I have an Access application with various DB's linked together. One of the DB's contains a field, SOURCECODE, which was mistakenly entered in as an nvarchar(4000) field in MS Sql Server. When I link the table, Access converts it to a memo field.
There will never be more than 10 chars in that field. The company that created the DB says its will be too risky to change the data type. I need to link this field to another field that's a VARCHAR.
How can I do this? Access doesn't allow the CAST feature.
SQL Server Equivalent Of MS Access's "Autonumber" Field
Jan 17, 2001Hi,
I have developed a web database application using ASP and MS Access, however the requirement for hosting the application is that it must use an MS SQL Server database. I converted the database to SQL without any problems, and many features of the application work under SQL Server except the 'add record' function. I realised there isn't an 'autonumber' field in SQL Server (which i use as the primary key for many tables), but an 'int' field. I considered pulling out the latest int from the database, incrementing it manually and adding the new record with this number... i also noticed there is a 'unique identifier' field.
Is there a quick solution for this problem?
Thanks
Can MS SQL Server Generate `AUTONUMBER` Field Like Access ??
Sep 11, 1998I am building a simple table, populated by ASP form, where every record should be assigned a unique ID. When working with Access I used `autonumber` datatype to keep track of every record. Can something like this be done with MS SQL server, if not what do you think is a good way to solve the problem ??
Thanks,

Access Limitation Of Memo Field Mapped
Jan 23, 2014Our company is migrating a Microsoft Access 2010 backend database to a SQL Server 2008 database. One of the memo fields in the Access backend can store up to 150 Kb of Unicode data. To store this data in SQL server, we found that we can use the following data types:
ntext = (2^30) - 1 = 1,073,741,823 bytes.
nvarchar(max) = (2^31) - 1 = 2,147,483,647 bytes.
Because ntext will be deprecated in future releases of SQL Server, the only good alternative to store an Access memo field in SQL server is to use nvarchar(max), which is what Microsoft recommends for large Unicode texts.Storing a large amount of text like 150 Kb in an nvarchar(max) field using only SQL server works as expected. However, if Access is used to store the data in a table linked to SQL server, the maximum number of characters allowed is only 4000. We found that this limitation is imposed by the ODBC driver that limits nvarchar(max) to 4000 characters.
The connection string we are currently using to link a table to SQL server is this:
ODBC;DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};SERVER= SQLEXPRESS;DATABASE=TestDB;Trusted_Connection=No;UID=uid;PWD=pwd;
Any solution for this limitation storing large amounts of data in a Microsoft Access memo field mapped to an nvarchar(max) data field in a SQL Server database?
Memo Field Da Access Into Varchar SQL Server
Oct 2, 2007I'm having some problems importing data from a memo column (Access) into varchar column in SQL Server.
My idea was to use slowly changing dimesion to identify modified and new rows. No matter what data type I use to convert the memo column (using Data Conversion Transformation) and then using the converted column in SCD, I get the following error :
'The SCD transform does not allow mapping between columns of different types except for DT_STR and DT_WSTR.'
What do I have to do to get Memo column 'to behave' as a string?
Same problem with a different data type - decimal (18,5) in sql server - no matter what datatype I use in Data Conversion Trans, I get the same error trying to generate scd.
Thank you for your answers.

Update/Insert Date Field, Which Did Not Import From Access
Jul 12, 2007First off, it has been a few years since I have done extensive work with SQL and that was using Oracle. But I am trying to develop a simple asset database for work, as we have nothing in place. I started out with Access, and decided to move to SQL express for many reasons.
What I have now is that I imported my data from my access 97 database to Excel, only my AssetTable did not import dates, I assume because Access and Sql Express handle dates differently... so a the time I just ignored that column.
Is it possible to insert the dates into the now populated SQL Express database AssetTbl where the AssetID's match? Here is what I have.
Sql Express Database Name: BAMS
Table Name: AssetTbl
fields: AssetID, SerialNum ...(many other fields)... DateAcq <- currently Null
Excel file: AssetDateAcq.xls
fields: AssetID, DateAcq (in format 07/12/2007)
To me it sounds like I need to do a short script/program to loop through the file read an AssetID from the excel file, and the DateAqcuired and then have it do an update on the DateAcq field, but it has been so long since I've done any work with SQL that I am finding there is a lot of "Dust" to blow off, and I don't know if I'm heading down the right track... or completely off course.
Thank you.
Error Trying To Add Information To DateTime Field Using Data Access Layer
Sep 20, 2006I am taking my first stab at a 3 tier architecture within ASP.Net. I have been adding datasets and creating a new Insert to add certain parts to a table. I am trying to add a date field called 'DateAdded' and is setup in SQL as a DateTime. When Visual Studio auto created the dataset, the Insert function is not "DateAdded as Datetime" as I would have expected, but it is "DateAdded as System.Nullable(Of Date)". There is a space in between 'Of' and 'Date'. If I keep the space in there the insert function shows an error that says "Arguement not specified for parameter DateAdded of funtion( etc. etc.). If I take the space out, the error on the insert function goes away but there is an error within the "OfDate" that says "Array bound cannot appear in type specifiers". I am confused on why the date format changed and how I can get a date to go into the database using the autogenerated datasets from Visual Studio. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike
View 1 Replies View RelatedAccess Crashes Filtering A Linked SQL Table On A Date Field
Jun 29, 2006I have an MS Access 2002 application that is distributed to a number of PCs around our office. The data for this application is stored on a central SQL Server that is linked in through ODBC.
This application has been in place for two years and working fine. We recently formatted and restored a PC, and now that particular PC has issues with the Access application.
Every time it tries to filter one of the linked SQL tables on a date field, Access goes unresponsive and GPFs out. If it's in a query that is behind a report, I get the old standard 'Catastrophic Failure'. If I open the table and right-click filter or run a query manually, Access GPFs.
I've tried recreating the ODBC, linking the tables through TCP/IP as well as Named Pipes. Nothing fixes it. All Windows and Office updates have been applied. This is not the first time we've reformatted a PC in the office, but we've never had this issue.
Has anyone run across this before?
Thanks!

View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL Express 2005 Forms: Default Field Format After Access Up-conversion
Apr 12, 2008I am converting an Access 2003 database into SQL 2005 Express for purposes of evaluating the SQL server environment as a future home for my data. One of the motivating factors in the conversion is the integration of LINQ with VB 2008.
Assuming that there was no conversion tool to migrate Access forms for use with SQL and VB 2008, I converted the Access data table and used the VB 2008 form designer to databind textbox controls to fields in the converted SQL database. Here are some basic questions:
The conversion from Access to SQL apparently did not include the default numeric formatting (currency, percentage, etc.) which was part of the Access data table. Is there a place in the SQL server environment to supply a default data format so that forms and reports referencing the field do not need to be manually formatted for each reference?
After converting the data table and spending 2 hours designing the dataform for the 80+ fields, I inadvertantly changed the table structure and found that the dataform was not happy (oops). I corrected the databindings manually for the few errant field references, but wonder if there is some wizard to do this automatically?
Is there a way to print out the dataform itself? I used the following code snippet in my Access form code-behind and I wonder if there is an equivalent VB 2008 function:
Code Snippet
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
Finally, Access can instantly change from dataform to datasheet presentation screens. Can this be done in VB 2008 with two views simultaneously presenting the same SQL data?
Please excuse my naivete, but in contrast to Access 2003 where program functionality is encapsulated into readily apparent controls, menus, and dialogs, the SQL server environment seems foreign, spartan, and all the words are different. Thanks, -BGood

ODBC/OLEDB Failure Accessing MS Access Attachment Field In Query
Mar 12, 2008We are experiencing failures when accessing a datatype="Attachments" field in a query in an MS Access 2007 database using ACE ODBC or OLEDB drivers.
We are using an MS Access 2007 database
ACE ODBC/OLEDB drivers installed (i.e. Office 2007, which installs these drivers)
DB contains a table with a field of type "Attachments" (which is new in MS Access 2007)
DB contains a query that selects the fields of the above table
Using ACE ODBC or ACE OLEDB drivers to display the table works fine. The "Attachments" field is displayed as the file name of the attachment(s).
However, using either ACE ODBC or ACE OLEDB to display the query (i.e. NOT the table) results in either incorrect results or unexpected failures of the ODBC/OLEDB drivers.
Error using ODBC (using "ODBC Test"):
=============================
select * from Query1 does not give an error, but displays a "1" for the Attachment field.
select Attachments from Query1 gives the following error:
stmt: szSqlState = "HY000", *pfNativeError = -3087, *pcbErrorMsg = 97,
*ColumnNumber = -2, *RowNumber = -2
MessageText = "[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Reserved error (|);
there is no message for this error."

Viewing SQL Currently Being Ran
Apr 2, 2008Hi all,
I'm very new to SQL Server having previously worked with Oracle 10g for the last couple of years.
Anyway, in Oracle there is a view called V$SQL that provides information about SQL that is or has recently been executed. I'm trying to find a similar sort of functionality in SQL Server.
Basically, what I'd like to do is list all of the SQL statements that are running at a given moment. Or even better would be a way of listing all statements that have run in the last 10 minutes.
Appreciate any help for a newbie.
We're on SQL Server 2000 8.00.194
