I need provide some of my users an easy way of accessing a SQL Server table through MS Access so that
they can edit the table.
Please let me know which of the following is more appropriate to accomplish this task.
1. Creating a Data Access Page
2. Creating a Link Table I thought I could it do it though a Data Access Page but I was only able to see the data but not edit it. But, I know there is a way of doing this. Please throw some light on this topic.
I created a user-defined datatype in Microsoft SQL server using the Enterprise Manager. But, I am not able to find options to edit this data type. There are options to delete but not for editing an existing user defined data type.
Can any one help me how to edit this user defined datatype ?
Also, are there any better ways to create and manage user defined data types in MS SQL ?

I'm switching over to SQL Server from Access I have an iif statement in access and i'm not to sure on how to do the same thing in SQL Server, any guidence is greatly appreciated. I was thinking about using a case statement but not sure on the syntax.
Access statment: Sum(IIf([Hit_Ratio]![STATUS_CD]='B',1,0))+Sum(IIf([Hit_Ratio]![STATUS_CD]='Q',1,0))+Sum(IIf([Hit_Ratio]![STATUS_CD]='L',1,0))+Sum(IIf([Hit_Ratio]![STATUS_CD]='K',1,0)) AS Quoted
I'm just posting this to make sure I didn't mess anything.
Is the only way to enter/edit table data (in grid view) is through the VS (Express) IDE?
The reason why I ask is because I installed the Sql Server 2008 developer trial to get the Management Studio and pretty much the only things I can do are create/edit/delete databases, tables and the like.
It would be nice for the Management Studio (and Express at that) to have those capabilites. It would be nice to not have to create connections in the VS IDE to diffferent databases to edit them. Opening up the Management Studio and selecting the database seems like the proper (if not accustomed) way to do it.
I have a database in MSACCESS 2003 that is 680MB (after compacting) and contains 41 tables.
I tried to import these tables to SQL Server 2005 (express edition) using the :"upsizing wizard" provided in MSACCESS. The wizard works fine but all the tables are not being imported to SQL Server (only 19 tables are getting imported) and the size of the database in SQL Server (the ".mdf file") is 1.03 GB (I have tried using the "shrink" option also) . Further, when I try to open one of the tables (which has 625295 rows and 90 columns) , it takes lot of time to display all records.
So, my problem is do I need to set any options for any of these above issues, I tried to look for any information regarding this but was unsuccessful.
Any help on this will be very much helpful for me!
Hello I am developing a web application that will allow users to upload a .mdb file and from that file I need to populate an SQL database. I know the table name of the .mdb file, but I am unclear how to structure my data access layer correctly. How do I pull data from the .mdb file and once I have it how do i populate the SQL database?Any advice would be greatly appreciated.thanks!
This is a basic, remedial question, but I've no experience whatsoever with SQL server or Access (although I'm familiar with basic DB concepts). Even so, I have inherited this project because no one else will take it (besides, I like the challenge of learning something new :-). If I understand correctly, I can use Access 2000 to create and edit DBs on my SQL 7 server, and to run queries. This is done by creating a WBEM ODBC connector (I have no idea how this is done). I'm pretty good at figuring things out on my own, but I sure would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. What I'd like to know is first of all, am I on the right track, and secondly, what do you all recommend as a good source of info on this topic (the Microsoft web site, technet, manuals?).
when I was sending 50 simultaneous connections to the web services, I got these 2 errors: - "1[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. "
- "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)"
Everything worked fine if I ran 10 simultaneous connections. I am using Microsoft ACT to load test the web service. The database is SQL Server 2000. Any idea about why this is happening?
We are using MS Access as a front end to a SQL Server 6.5 Database using ODBC & linking tables in Access.
We are unable to edit certain records using access. We get the following error message:
"This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made.
Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values the other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to make changes."
What the message says is untrue in our case. Worse, there is no way to recover and have the desired change posted. This error occurs only with certain records. This error occurs when there are no locks active (and only 1 client logged in).
I am inclined to think that this error may be the fault of ODBC.
Updating the same change directly into ISQL works fine. SQL Server Permissions have beeen checked & double checked.
If you have suggestions as to how this error can be rectified, please contact me: Mark Blackburn mark@mbari.org http://www.mbari.org/~mark
I want to use SQL Server to query an Access Database with about 40,000 rows of data. If possible, I don't want to upsize the database because others need acess to it in the ACC97 format. Is there a way to use ODBC to connect to the ACC97 database so that I can use the SQL query capability of SQL server to query the database.
I know access allows you to write some SQL queries but I need the power of the SQL server and now it is a matter of curiosity because I've been searching for this answer for about 8 hours.
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition - Client Service for Netware installed. - Access 2000 database in a Novell Directory Services (NDS) Environment - SQL Server service running under local Administrator account.
Linked server configured as follow:
Linked server: MyDB Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider Product name: Access 2000 Data Source: UNC path to my Access database
Security: Admin with no password (default Access behaviour)
I can connect to my access database by following the next steps:
- Open Management studio on the SQL Server itself (where I'm logged in as Administrator) - Connect using Windows Authentication (Administrator) - Create a new query, run EXEC sp_tables_ex 'MyDB'
This will return all the tables from the Access database.
I can also make a view pointing to MyDB...MyTable.
Enough prove to me It can work....
So far so good
But now the tricky part.
When I login as 'sa', I can't connect and will receive the following message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "MyDB" returned message "'Full UNC to my access database' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.".Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "MyDB".
(In real life I want to connect to my SQL 2005 Server from a ASP.NET (2.0) application using SQL authentication, but as long as I can't get the above working this is not important for now)
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 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.
Hi guys! I am using SQL 2005 and I wonder why I am encountering the error "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Syntax error or access violation" everytime I am trying to create stored procedure with temp table and table variable. See my code below with temp table.
Any thoughts will be appreciated!
CREATE PROCEDURE DBO.SAMPLESP (@DETAILS AS VARCHAR(8000), @ID AS VARCHAR(15))
AS
BEGIN TRANSACTION
CREATE TABLE DBO.#TEMPTABLE { ASSET VARCHAR(50) }
DECLARE @INSTINSERT AS NVARCHAR(4000) SET @INSTINSERT= 'INSERT INTO #TEMPTABLE(ASSET)' SET @INSTINSERT= @INSTINSERT+ @DETAILS
EXEC sp_ExecuteSQL @INSTINSERT
INSERT INTO InstDetail (TrackNum, ASSETID) SELECT @ID, A.ASSE FROM #TEMPTABLE A
DROP TABLE #TEMPTABLE
IF @@ERROR != 0 BEGIN ROLLBACK TRANSACTION RAISERROR('There was an error in here', 11, 1) RETURN END ELSE COMMIT TRANSACTION
rst.MoveFirst Do While Not rst.EOF lstEntity.AddItem (rst.Fields(0)), 0 'lstEntity.AddItem (rst.Fields(1)), 1 rst.MoveNext Loop
The Stored Proc is as follow:
Code Block set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_DefaultEntityData] AS BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT tblEntities.[Name], tblEntities.PrimaryKey FROM tblEntities ORDER BY tblEntities.PrimaryKey;
END
The table contains 24 entries
As you can see in the VB code, I am trying to read the returned "table" into an Access ListBox. The listbox should display the entities Name but not the Primary key, but the primary key should still be "stored" in the to so that it can be used to access other data.
I have moved the tables from Access to SQL Server 2005, and would also like to port all the sql queries to sp's in SQL Server. The old way for populating the listbox was a direct SQL query in the RowSource property field. I have tried to set the lstEntity.RowSource = rst but it did not work.
Here are my Q's: 1) As what does the SP return when it is called and is there a better way to catch it than I am doing at the moment? 2) How do I read the values into the listbox, without displaying the primary key in die box?
Thank you in advance! Any help is very much appreciated.
Hello, Can someone tell me how I can search for a table name in Microsoft SQL Server? I'm thinkg it is something like: Select table_name from All_tables where Table_name like '%Cust%' Thank you Jon
I have a table with data in it. Now I want to change the Data Type from int to varchar. Is there anyway to do this because I don't want to delete all the data and re-enter it. That seems to be the only way I can see to change the data type. I would appreciate some help. thanks.
I read on this forum that it is possible to move a device by:
Update the sysdevices table to point to the new location (ex: D:SQLTESTDB.DAT) Stop the SQL Server Physically move the file to the new location Restart the SQL Server.
Hi. I am not sure why, but i can't change any of the values in my Table Designer. I want to change my primary key's "IsIdentity" value to "yes" and the Identity Increment to "1" but everything is greyed out and nothing is editable. Please help! I am not in debug/run mode when i am editing these values. I have a feeling that I am going to feel stupid when somebody points out what i am (not) doing. So, any takers?
I'm having a bit of a nightmare with MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager(running on XP Pro SP2).
Basically I've been running it on my laptop and my desktop with no problems for months and suddenly I can't seem to edit any data in any table?
Basically I'm using Enterprise manager to connect the database which is hosted externally by Fasthosts. I've called them and explain the problem, they told me to increase my Query Timeout to 300 seconds, which I have done but still no joy.
I can open and query tables but when i simply open a table and return all rows, even the smallest of tables (i.e. just 2 rows) as soon as I try and edit even just a field containing a bit of data is just hangs for about a minute until I get the following error;
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure
I've again called Fasthosts who assure me that it was working at their end etc and that was about all they could do !! very helpful...
Anyways, does anyone have any ideas ? As I really need to edit some data in the tables for a deadline and this is extremely frustating as it was working just a few days before. I've tried removing SQL server and re-installing but I'm still getting the same problem.
