I 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.
DECLARE @datetimeoffset datetimeoffset(3)
DECLARE @datetime datetime
SELECT @datetimeoffset = '2012-11-08T17:22:13.575+00:00'
SELECT @datetime = @datetimeoffset
SELECT @datetimeoffset AS '@datetimeoffset ', @datetime AS 'datetime'
__________________________________________________ ___________
Result of above SQL is

The result should be '2012-11-08 17:22:13.575', why the milliseconds value is incorrect
We made a poor decision a long time ago when designing our databasestructure. We used bigint data types as the identity keys for many ofour base tables. For many reasons I would like to change these fieldsto int at the largest. The largest data in these fields is around200,000. I know that int can easily store this.What should I be worried about when changing these fields from bigintto int? If anything. Your help is appreciated. I did severalsearches without much luck.

I'm using DTS to import data from an Access memo field into a SQL Server ntext field. DTS is only importing the first 255 characters of the memo field and truncating the rest.I'd appreciate any insights into what may be causing this problem, and what I can do about it.Thanks in advance for any help!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been asked to investigate the feasibility of converting an Invoice Number field from 6 to 7 digits, and allowing alpha characters. This means CHAR. The Invoice Number is not used outside of the application, but changes would have to be made to the database, and VB code that runs the app. Any ideas on how to proceed?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
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.
Hi 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

Is there a built-in SQL function that does this (likeusing CONVERT) or do I need to write my own?Thanks!Lisa

I am trying to convert an Access based blog app to SQL Server but I'm having some trouble with some SQL.
The sql is as follows:
SELECT *, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblComment WHERE tblComment.blogID = tblBlog.BlogID AND tblComment.commentInclude <> 0) AS TOTAL_LINKS
FROM joinBlog
WHERE BlogIncluded <> 0
ORDER BY BlogID DESC
The access version returns blog entries & the number of comments posted to each entry.
joinBlog is an Access query:
SELECT tblBlog.BlogID, tblBlog.CatID AS tblBlog_CatID, tblBlog.BlogHeadline, tblBlog.BlogHTML, tblBlog.BlogDate, tblBlog.BlogIncluded, tblCategory.catID AS tblCategory_catID, tblCategory.catName
FROM tblCategory RIGHT JOIN tblBlog ON tblCategory.catID = tblBlog.CatID;
I assume I need to make a view out of the Access query, I have done this & that appears to work.
The problem I have is when I try the 1st sql that is in my page with sql server I get the following error:
The column prefix 'tblBlog' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
I can make the following change which returns data but does not attach the blog comment counts to the proper blog entry, instead it returns the total comments in the query:
SELECT *, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblComment,tblBlog WHERE tblComment.blogID = tblBlog.BlogID AND tblComment.commentInclude <> 0) AS TOTAL_LINKS
FROM joinBlog
WHERE BlogIncluded <> 0
ORDER BY BlogID DESC
Can anyone tell me how to convert this for SQL Server? This is my 1st access to sql server attempt.

Hello, I am fairly new to SQL Server so I apologise if this is the wrong forum. I have a Sales analysis table in a SQL Server 2000 database. The table is populated from various sources in our ERP system. via a DTS package For our French branch sales unit of measure is eachs (EA) for actuals, but the primary UOM and our forecast data is normally in cartons. I have a product master table which defines primary unit of measure, and a unit of measure conversion table. So if I wanted to convert the data all to the primary measure I would write the below in Access:
UPDATE (tblSalesReport INNER JOIN tblItemMasterERP ON tblSalesReport.fldProductNo = tblItemMasterERP.fldProductNo) INNER JOIN tblUOMConvertERP ON (tblItemMasterERP.fldShortItemNo = tblUOMConvertERP.fldItemNo) AND (tblItemMasterERP.fldPrimaryUOM = tblUOMConvertERP.fldUOM1) SET tblSalesReport.fldUOM = [tblItemMasterERP]![fldPrimaryUOM], tblSalesReport.fldQuantity = [tblSalesReport]![fldQuantity]/[tblUOMConvertERP]![fldConvFactor]
WHERE (((tblSalesReport.fldCompany)="00007") AND ((tblUOMConvertERP.fldUOM2)=[tblSalesReport]![fldUOM]) AND (([tblSalesReport]![fldUOM])<>[tblItemMasterERP]![fldPrimaryUOM]));
I have found that in the DTS I can add an SQL task, but it seems to only allow UPDATE if there are no joined tables. I found the same thing in Stored Procedures, the SQL designer would only allow me to use one table. I guess I am looking in the wrong places. Can anyone point me in the right direction to incorporate the above sql (or equivolent) into our DTS package. Unfortunately the company decided to dispense with the services of the person who designed the package.
