I remember having "converted" a mdb (Access ) DB into SQL Server 7, some motnhs ago.
Now I have installed SQL Express, and would like to do the same (just
converting the tables, so I don't have to create them by hand again).
But I am unable to find any menu option to do that in SSMSEE. Is it
feasible?
The website i'm building is using an access97 database. Actually the database isn't very big but i hope it will become. So i would like to convert it to SQL 7.0 which seems to be more powerfull. Is there a software which can do it automatically? What are the modifications needed by ODBC ?

We have an application with database with Sortid 50 (binary) in SQL 6.5 We're planning to upgrade to SQL2000 and use the default Sortid 52.
Can we change it when using the SQL2000 upgrade wizard ? I tried and got a warning msg "code page / sort order configuration between import and export SQl server do not match or not supported. A successful converison cannot be guarenteed"
Or we should bcp the database out from the old SQL 6.5(soritd 50) and then bcp in another new SQL 6.5(with sortid 52),then rebuild all schema, then migrate this new SQL 6.5 to 2000 with migration wizard as normal ?
Or we do the migration first, then use copy database wizard to copy it into another SQL2000 database with different sortid, i.e 52 ? (As I recall SQL2000 support databases with different character set and sorting order ) Anyone has any thoughts ?any pros and cons for various ways of converting it, Thanks. Anthony

I need to convert all datetime columns to smalldatetime in the whole database. I really don't want to do it by hand and It would probably take me a whole day to figure out how to write such a procedure. If someone could help me out that would be great. My database is divided into schemas just like AdventureWorks. Also, no need to worry about date conversion, value could be set to current date.
I am working on my database design for a webapplication. Every table is setup with an id. I have used an identity int.
Now I was looking at uniqueidentifier, newid() and was wondering if this was a better solution.

I want to take both these fields and put them into a field that is database timestamp so I have converted DSRHDATI to 10 character field. I am then trying to use substring to put both into 18 character field using derived column transformation editor. but it does not like the below. It's red syntax error what am I missing.
(SUBSTRING(Copy of DSRHDATI,1,4) +' /' + SUBSTRING( Copy of DSRHDATI,6,2) + '/ ' + SUBSTRING(Copy of DSRHDATI,9,2)) + SUBSTRING(DSRHTIME,1,2) + '.' + SUBSTRING(DSRHTIME,4,2) + '.' + SUBSTRING(DSRHTIME,7,2)
One I get the above to work I plan on convert 18 char to datetimestamp.
Dear Experts,Ok, I hate to ask such a seemingly dumb question, but I'vealready spent far too much time on this. More that Iwould care to admit.In Sql server, how do I simply change a character into a number??????In Oracle, it is:select to_number(20.55)from dualTO_NUMBER(20.55)----------------20.55And we are on with our lives.In sql server, using the Northwinds database:SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2)) as a_number,cast ( STR(r.regionid) as int ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044SELECTr.regionid,STR(r.regionid,7,2) as a_string,CONVERT(numeric, STR(r.regionid,7,2) ) as a_number,cast (STR(r.regionid,7,2) as numeric ) as cast_to_numberFROM REGION R1 1.00112 2.00223 3.00334 4.0044Str converts from number to string in one motion.Isn't there a simple function in Sql Server to convertfrom string to number?What is the secret?Thanks

Hi, I have a SQL Server 2005 Database that I would like to export to SQL Server Express. How do I go about this? I've tried backing it up, creating a new (blank) SQL Server Express Database and trying to restore it, but get the following message: TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio------------------------------ Restore failed for Server 'PRODSOL-LAPTOP1SQLEXPRESS'.
