Creating A Link To An SQL Server Table??
Apr 25, 2000
I have used to following Microsoft supplied code to create a link to
SQL server from access: (Is there a way to use a DSN-less connection at comment below? If not is there a way to create a DSN using code?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub ClientServerX3()
Dim dbsCurrent as Database
Dim tdRoy as TableDef
Set dbsCurrent = CurrentDb
Set tdfRoy = dbsCurrent.CreateTableDef("Roy")
tdfRoy.Connect = "ODBC;DATABASE=pubs;UID=sa;PWD=;DSN=Publishers"
***************IS THERE ANYWAY TO USE AN OLEDB (OR OTHER DSN-LESS)
***************CONNECTION HERE? How??
tdfRoy.SourceTableName = "Royalties"
dbsCurrent.TableDefs.Append tdfRoy
End Sub
Thanks, I really appreciate the help

When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?

Hi all,
This is a bit of a general question regarding SQL Server link tables that i hope someone can find the time to answer.
I am looking for the best practice. If I have 3 tables
1) tblCompetition
2) tblTeams
3) tblTeamsInCompetition (this is the link table)
I know the link table should have a related CompetitionID and TeamID,
but should the link table also have a primary key that is an identity
autoincrement by 1 just as you would with the other two tables. In
Access I have never done this, however in SQL Server I have read that
you should do this (but now I can't find the documentation again which
prompts me to ask the question here).
Thanks for taking the time to answer this question.

I am trying to design a SSIS DTS package that imports an Excel named range (acts as a table) into a SQL Server 2005 database table. The direct import (using the import/export wizard) works fine, but I need to use a DTS package with a data transformation step. The DTS fails to create/replace/or update the SQL Server table. Suggestions?

Hello,
I am working on a webapp using VB.net
Right now I am writing to a sql table during a process where the end user
starts entering the contents for a file that is going to be generated once he
finishes entering the data, but the problem is that if more than one user is
doing the same process the data would get mixed up. To avoid this I
thought in creating a temporary table (its name will consist of a string
and the current date time).
I would like to see any tutorial
about creating and working with temp tables. Or if you have any
suggestions, I will appreciate them. Thanks

I have a form with a drop down box so the user can select a quote.. When a quote is selected i need to populate a table of all the records associated with the quote id. I need the table to be created in such a way that the user can add new rows, delete rows and edit the data. Then all of the changes need to be written back to the database. Whats the most efficient/best way of doing this and if you have any ideas can you explain them as thoroughly as possible! I'm currently upgrading an access database to a sql server back end with an asp.net client and it's taking me a while to get to grips with all the changes!Thanks in advance,Chris

Using Microsoft SQL 2000
When creating a table I want to be able to specify not only the db to create it on but also which server to create it on. I have two servers that are linked together, I can view all data without issue.
Doing further research it looks like with the create table command you can tell it the new table name and the database but you can't tell it which server to use. Is there a way of doing this?
Example :
CREATE TABLE LAPTOP.database.dbo.tableName (a INT) gives the following error:
The object name 'LAPTOP.database.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
I am new to linked servers so basically my question is, how do you point to a server within sql before I execute the create table command?
Tx in advance
Mark

I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Thanks

I need to ensure some naming standards to users while creating tables.
All table name should be in same pattern
(ie., ) TeamName_EmpId_tablename
I need a way to restrict user to follow the naming standard. If any user tries to create table without the above naming standard system should not allow.

I am having trouble figuring out why the following code throws an error:
declare
@cols nvarchar(50),
@stmt nvarchar(max)
select @cols = ('[' + W.FKStoreID + ']') from (select distinct FKStoreID from VW_PC_T) as W
select @stmt = '
select *
[Code] ...
The issue that I am having is:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '[' to data type int.
I know that I have to use the [ ] in order to run the dynamic sql. I am not sure what is failing and why as the syntax seems to be clean to me (obviously it is not).

Environment: Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit), 10.0.5520.0
I was doing a code review for another developer and came across this code:
CREATE TABLE dbo.#ABC
(
ReportRunTime DATETIME
,SourceID VARCHAR(3)
,VisitID VARCHAR(30)
,BaseID VARCHAR(25)
[Code] ....
This EXECUTES with no error or warning message.However, if I change this to CREATE the PK in an ALTER TABLE statement, I get the (expected by me) error:
CREATE TABLE dbo.#ABC
(
ReportRunTime DATETIME
,SourceID VARCHAR(3)
,VisitID VARCHAR(30)
,BaseID VARCHAR(25)
,OccurrenceSeqID INT
[code]...
==> Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 17 Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table '#ABC'.
==> Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 17 Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
(note: As the #ABC table is an actual copy of a few of the columns in a "permanent" table, I will likely change the definition as follows such that the columns are defined to match the names / datatypes / NULLability:
SELECT TOP 0
CAST('01-01-1980' AS DATETIME) AS [ReportRunTime]
,SourceID
,VisitID
,BaseID
,OccurrenceSeqID

I have 2 tables (#raw1 & #raw2). Each has a year (yr) and month (mnth) and a count (cnt1 / cnt2) field. I need a table created as follows:
2013 2014 2015
cnt1 cnt2 cnt1 cnt2 cnt1 cnt2
jan 5 77 77 8 88
etc....
Normally, I would ask about a pivot but since it is months down one side and year and columns on the top, I don't know if a pivot will work.
create table #raw1 ([yr] int, [mnth] int, [cnt1] int)
insert into #raw1 values

I have used the Microsoft code below to create a link to SQL server from access. I am using DAO not ADODB. Someone said that I should use dblib instead of ODBC in the connection string below in order to get the connection to work.
Does anyone know the correct syntax for OLE DB connection string and can it be used with DAO? I am getting an error "ISAM path not found"?? Seems I have wrong connection string syntax?? Please advise.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi,
I'm looking for a possible way to access tables from SAP but in another database. This is not possible using ABAP from SAP. Therefore I wonder if it's possible to define some kind of virtual table in a database which in fact refers to a table in another MSSQL database...
Help and/or tips highly appreciated,
Paul

Tell me please how can I make a foreing key constraint for a table using from another not all primary key or not all data. For example, I need to link a table "subject" with primary key "dscp_num, depart" using depart as a foreing key. But there is no table with such primary key, there is only table "codif_values" where selecting records by condition "codif_num = 1" gives the relation with necesary primary key to link. Also I need to link "subject" table as a primary key table with the table "ses_curr". But this table doesn't include "depart" field. It includes field "reg_num" that is a primary key in table "students". This table include field "stgroup" as a foreing key for table "groups". The last table includes "speciality" field that is a foreing key for table "specialities". And only this table includes "depart" field. Tell me please how I can make a foreing key constraint for table "ses_curr" by table "subject".

Hello All,
I have a question on linking tables with SQL Server. I have SQL Server 2000 with database A on machine A. I have SQL Server 2000 with database B on machine B. I want to link tables from the database on machine A into a database on machine B. I am not quite sure how to do this - I believe this can be done as I have seen it before. Any information and or resources to direct me to would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
We have lookup tables we share on 6 database servers. We keep copying these very large tables to every database we use on each server, obviously a great waste of space. We don't mind copying these tables onto each of the servers but we want to be able to link to these tables from each database from within our servers. How is this done? Thanks in advance.

I need to append data to the existing Table1 from a .txt file stored in a link e.g. "http://xx00xx0123.abcdef.net/ABC_REPORTS/DATA/Table1.csv"
(Columns in both tables are identical)
This .csv contains a rolling 7 days of stats. which means if it is added every Morning 6 of those Days will have been added before and must be Deleted.
I would like to schedule an automatic procedure to create a temp table in the server every day and a script removing duplicates.
I have a few questions:
*) Can I shedule from the Enterprise Console to read/create table from the above link to do this?
**) I heard I need an SQL agent. If so why and what is it?
***) Is it better to append data and then script removing Duplicates, or is it better to import into a temp table run comparison between the 2, Delete from Temp what is Common and then append whats left of the Temp to the Table1?
****) Please could someone paste a sample of CREATE TABLE from a http link like the one above?
Thanks for your help,
Gezza

I have the following query that will serve as a basis for SSRS report
SELECT TOP (1000) d.Project_Name, d.Status, d.Country, d.Region, p.Period, p.Quarter, p.Year, d.Brand, d.Store_Opens_Actual, d.DA, d.DPN, d.StoreNumber,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), CASE WHEN ISDATE(d .Store_Opens_Actual) = 1 THEN d .Store_Opens_Actual WHEN ISDATE(d .Store_Opens_Forecast) = 1 AND
ISDATE(d .Store_Opens_Actual) = 0 THEN d .Store_Opens_Forecast WHEN ISDATE(d
[Code] ....
This returns a dataset, that I need to convert into a PIVOT table that should look like the attached spreadsheet.
Having trouble writing the PIVOT table query. I feel like I am missing something conceptually as I am not doing any summing or aggregation. I don't know if dynamics SQL is the solution here or which route to take. I don't know if there is such things as PIVOTING without aggregation. CROSS TAB came to my mind as well.

Using an MS A2K front end running on WinXP and ODBC connections to SQLServer 7 on Win 2K server; there are about 10 users who access thefront end via Terminal Server and use the same front end; there areabout another 10 users who run a copy of the db on their local machine.SQL server has 2 databases, with approx. 20 tables between them (oneis for processing ckts from a remote sql server for local use, theother is a site database).There is one user that always has to refresh the same single table eachtime a release of the db is copied to his local machine. Once thetable is refreshed in link manager, the front end is good to go...untilthe the next release is made (about every 2 months--for changes inbusiness rules). We have gone and checked his WINS and DNS settingsand at this point, the only difference between other users and this onewho can't get the table normally, is that he is using a different brandmachine (he uses a toshiba satellite, all others use a ibm thinkpad).Since purchasing a new laptop for him is out of the question, doesanyone have a suggestion for correcting this problem?TIA for the help,EricO.
