Access To SQL Migration
May 11, 2007
At work we are migrating several Access databases to SQL Server 2005 standard edition. These Access databases have no user interface forms. They do however have a series of macros that execute make table queries.
I'm trying to determine what are options are for replacing the make table queries in the macros. My first thought was to do the work in a SQL Server stored prodecure. I am asking for advice on what our options are. Is a stored procedure the way to go? Any suggestions on how to do it?
Thanks.

Hello all,
Does anyone know of a utility to migrate Access 97 Queries to SQL Server 7?
I've over 400 of them and I am trying not to have to do them by hand.
Also I tried to use to migration wizard from MS instead of the DTS and all I got was Error after error. 'Invalid Date/Time', 'Error with YES/NO field' and 'Timed out' were the most common. In the end only 4 tables out of 89 were migrated.
Any suggestions would be greatly Appreciated.

Hi-
Can you give me any help/assistance on the development process involved with migration from MS Access to SQL Server 7.
Specifically, I need my current MS Access data migrated to SQL, and then I need two (2) fairly simple forms developed for data input and searching on the web.
The developers I have been speaking too seem to want to buy their Hawaiian condo from this one project...which seems like A LOT OF $$ for the development of an off-the-shelf product that costs $15,000.
Any leads and/or thoughts would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THANKS.

I would like to migrate an access data to SQL Server. However, the Access database has an OLE data type field that stores word documents. Is there a way to handle this in SQL Server?

Hello,We maintain a VB6 front-end application using an Access 2000 database. Allcode and forms are in VB6. The program also uses several queries/reportsdefined in Access. For corporate reasons we must move to SQL Server rightaway. Based on our configuration, we're hoping someone can give us a feelfor what's involved here. Since we're only using Access for the data we'renot sure what an "upsizing" would entail. Can someone point us in the rightdirection, tell us the main gotchas, etc. Thanks a lot.Teri Welch

Hello,
I'm very new to MS SQL Server; I just downloaded Express 2005 yesterday. I have it up and running; it seems to be working fine.
Now onto business - I need to migrate data from existing MS Access 2003. How, exactly, do I do this? I've tried searching MSDN, TechNet, and here, and while I get results that seem to tell part of the story, I don't seem to get a true "How to" for this task.
Can someone please assist me with this?
Thank you.

I am in the process of migrating 40 access databases to SQL Server. I am migrating the tables to the backend. All of these databases are Identical in structure and purpose. The goal is to centralize all of the databases backends into one Sql server database, but the data needs to stay seperated by each location. So I added a location field to each table in the database; so that each locations data will be seperated by location. How do I go about filtering out the the data so that each location can only update, delete, an view their own data? (I dont mind a long answer.)

got some MS Access SQL Code that needs converting into TSQL:
SELECT dbo_qryMyServices.FormsServiceID,
dbo_qryMyServices.ServiceName, Sum(IIf(IsNull([CompletionDate]),0,1))
AS Completed,
Count([pkServiceID])-Sum(IIf(IsNull([CompletionDate]),0,1)) AS
Uncompleted, Count(dbo_MyServiceRequests.pkServiceID) AS TotalCount
FROM dbo_qryMyServices LEFT JOIN dbo_MyServiceRequests ON dbo_qryMyServices.FormsServiceID = dbo_MyServiceRequests.PostType
GROUP BY dbo_qryMyServices.FormsServiceID, dbo_qryMyServices.ServiceName
ORDER BY dbo_qryMyServices.ServiceName;
because it's Access and got VBA stuff in it - IIF and ISNULL, I can't figure out how to make it work in proper SQL.
Any help would be most appreciated!

I was really happy to see the Migration Assitant for transferring the Access2000 data to SQL 2005.
Unfortunately, during the migration wizard, when it comes to the window of "connect to SQL Server 2005" it gives an error. It says "Connection to SQL Server Failed. An error has occured while establishing connection to the server... also point out it could be SQL server not allowing remote connections (I checked), and something that says: provider: named pipes provider , error 40" ... I'm stuck at this window. Please please help?
you can email me directly if you wish to fh.erdogan(at)gmail.com
Thanks.
p.s. I have a fresh install of SQL Server 2005. All on the same machine.

Hi guys.
I'm using the SSMA to migrate Access databases into SQL Sever. It's a pretty nifty tool, however, I am having some trouble fully migrating the data over.
When I select 'Convert Schema' the schemas for all the tables are created on the server and *all* the table names appear in the Server Metadata Explorer. There are the usual warnings about name changes and primary key additions and the like but importantly, the output window says that there were no errors. Scrolling through all the tables on the server explorer with the 'Table' tab selected confirms that the schemas for all the tables have been migrated, but for one or two of the newly created tables, the 'Data' tab shows the error message "Failed to retrieve data: Invalid object name 'NewDB.dbo.Pref'" for example. Consequently, when I move on to migrating the data, the operation fails for the tables showing these errors and the error message 'The table 'NewDB.dbo.[Pref]' does not exist in SQL Server' is shown when it is displaying in the Metadata Explorer. When I view the server schema in Management Studio Express, it confirms that they have not been migrated. I have tried to look at the failing tables' schemas and identify any similarities which might be causing them to fail migration but they are all very different so I don't think it's a schema issue.
Any ideas? TIA

Venkatesh writes "In MS-Access table a coulmn is specified as Auto number property.
I want to migrate this table into SQL Server.
We can create a new column that has identity property in SQL Server 2000, which simulate autonumber property of MS-Access.
My access table contains 700 records and I need to set the column (ListID) as Auto number. i.e., I m going to modify this
coulmn with identity property.
But I cant set the identity property for the existing column.
Can u pls send me the sql query that modify the existing column(ListId) with Identity property.

I've downloaded the migration tool to convert an Access 2000 DB to a SQL DB. The VB code utilizes DAO (3.6) for hourly automatic compaction and the creation of an encrypted security database. ADO is used for the data maintenance functions. I expect the current connection methodology of ODBC using Jet 4.0 will need to be modified (many articles here address this). All the SQL code is inline and also must be modified. The Coldfusion code utilizes Micrsoft Access with Unicode via an ODBC connection with only SQL Select statements. At another job, I migrated an Informix 7 database to MS SQL 7 and for the most part the SQL code remained the same except for the wildcard spec from * to %.
I'm looking for insights and/or shortcuts on this effort, primarily in the SQL command mods area. I'm perusing the threads here as we speak, but hoped someone knew of a specific thread I could go to....laziness is alive and well for us chronologically gifted people, i.e. over 55.
Any help or links are greatly appreciated!

hi,
I migrated the Northwind database using SQL Migration Assistant for Access. it worked fine and I was able to link the access forms to Local machine SQL Server 2005 and it worked fine.
Now i want to link the same Northwind access database to Another Server on the network.
When i try to run the wizard again, it won't migrate the user objects like tables to server, it will just create a database and that is it.
it will give me this error too.
No User objects were selected.
any idea,
Thanks,
Fahim

I've installed SQL 2005 Express Addition which created a default database using Windows Authentication -- MachineName/SQLEXPRES. I want to convert some access databases to sql server in the migration assistant, however, when I try to connect the migration assistant to the default database I can't find the database in the drop down box wizard? I'm perplexed? Please shed some light or point me to some articles that will help. Thanks.

I attempted to use SSMA to migrate a 2000 file format .mdb into SQL Server Express (and, as I've just purchased VS2005 Pro, into SQL Server Developer Edition).
The file is actually a backend, so nothing to migrate other than tables.
After several runs during which I received (and fixed up) some errors, the process runs smoothly with no errors or warnings, until it comes to the last step; migrating the data itself.
Data migration into 'parent' tables works fine. However, wherever I have data in a table with a foreign key relationship to any of the aforementioned 'parent' tables, it refuses to migrate it. The text of the error message will be very smiliar to the following (from the log):
[Datamigrator: Error] [464/7] [2007-09-23 14:18:54]: Exception: The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "Branch$CompanyBranch". The conflict occurred in database "DPMTest", table "dbo.Company", column 'CompanyID'.
There is nothing wrong, so far as I can determine, with the relationships involved.
I can insert data into the tables using any of the following methods:
1. Directly in Access, in the source backend.
2. Using the original Access frontend application, attached to the source backend.
3. Using VB.Net forms I am developing, in the 'upsized' database.
4. Directly in the Management Studio, in the 'upsized' database.
None of these four methods complains in the least about the relationships which SSMA balks at.
I would be grateful for any ideas....thanks.

Hi all,
I downloaded the Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access 4 weeks ago. Today, I tried this program for the first time. I added one Database with 3 Access 2003 Tables to the Access Metadata Explorer. I right clicked Databaes on the Access Metadata pane and did not see the "Convert Schema" highlighted!!!??? What is wrong with the program? How can I make it highlighted? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

we recently migrated from our in-house domain to the Enterprise domain. Everything went smooth except for the fact that I can no longer accept my dBs using my SA or my domain admin account. There is only 1 account I can get into the management studio with but it has no admin privileges, so I can't make any password changes or add accounts. I don't have a test environment so kind of hesitant to experiment with our production system.

I have developed a database on my local machine using MSDE. I am using Visual Studio.net to add tables/stored procedures to the database. I have created asp.net pages. I need to get this database on a web server that runs Enterprise SQL Server. Can I just use the 'sp_detach_db' and 'sp_attach_db' to move the database between servers?

Hi There,
Greetings! Many of my clients are on SQL 7.0 (Win NT) and want to upgrade to SQL2K (Win 2003). We have approximately 1200 Stored Procedures (SPs) per module.
Our porting exercise involves changing keywords of SQL 7 to SQL2K (eg. LTRIM, RTRIM, GROUP BY etc).
Is there a tool available online which can run thru the SPs and do the porting job? Otherwise I have to hand-code these changes
Also, has any one out there done this exercise before? What are the things to lookout for to avoid goofups?
Thanks in advance
