I was wondering if there is a way to import an Access database into an MS SQL (MSDE) database using OSQL? I need to write an updater to send out to some customers, that will accomplish this. The Access database and its corresponding SQL database have the same table structure, i just need to update the data. I would like to use OSQL so I can make this process automated, behind the scenes of my GUI updater, for the customer.
I would love to be able to do something like this:
osql -E -Q"IMPORT DATABASE blabla FROM DISK = 'C:labla.mdb' WITH REPLACE"
I am attempting to import data from Microsoft Access databases to SQL Server 2000 using the DTS Import/Export Wizard. I have a few errors.

Insert error column 150 ('VRptTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow. Insert error column 147 ('ViewAppTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.

Could you please look into this and guide me Thanks in advance venkatesh imtesh@gmail.com
I am trying to simplify a query given to me by one of my collegues written using the query designer of Access. Looking at the query there seem to be some syntax differences, so to see if this was the case I thought I would import the database to my SQL Server Developer edition.
I tried to start the wizard from within SQL Server Management Studio Express as shown in one of the articles on MSDN which did not work, but the manual method also suggested did work.
Trouble is that it gets most of the way through the import until it spews forth the following error messages:
- Prepare for Execute (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: {332B4EB1-AF51-4FFF-A3C9-3AEE594FCB11}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not start session. Too many sessions already active.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020801c: Data Flow Task: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Source 33 - ATable" (2065) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard).
There does not seem to be any method of specifying a number of sessions, so I don't see how to get round the problem.
Does anyone know how I can get the import to work?
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK. Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task Add an OLE DB Source component Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list. I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
Still really new at all this, but learning lots thanks to this forum. I was wondering - is there a way to import Access tables into my SQL Server 2005 ? (The Data and the Table Design?)
I recently use SQL 7 import utility to import 62 tables from a Access 97 database. It works OK in terms of table and data. But it did not brign in the relationship nor indexes which are despertely a must. Do I have to get upsizing software? If so, what is your recommendation?
I have some Access tables that I want to import into SQL. I can do this using the AllTasks/ImportData. However if my Access table has a zero length string in a field this is imported into the SQL table as <NULL>. How can I make it import it as a zero length string ?
I want to import an Access table into a SQL table. Some of the integer Access fields have a null value, but when they are imported I want them to be 0 or zero in my SQL table. How can I do this please ?
I want to move my Access 2K database into MSDE. The Access UpsizingWizard crashes (a known bug wi A2K), so I'm using the followingsuggested method:Access --> New --> Project (Existing Database)This asks for the name of the .adp file to create and then launchesinto the Data Link Properties dialog box (so far so good) I select myMSDE server from the drop-down, enter the sa account & passwd, attacha database file and try to select the .adp file that was just created.Unfortunately, the "Select SQL Server Database File" dialog is lookingfor an .MDF file, not an .ADP file.If I try to kludge it and select the .adp file anyway, the TestConnection produces an error:"Test connection failed because of an error in initializingprovider. The header file "D: est.adp" is not a valid database fileheader. The FILE SIZE property is incorrect."Any suggestions on how to proceed?Note:I've got Access 2000 SP1, Visual Studio.Net 2002, MSDE and SQL WebAdministrator running on XP Prof SP2.
Is there a way to import an access table into Microsoft SQL Server Express with Server Management Studio? I prefer not to use the upsize tool from access. Another option would be to import from a text file, if someone can explain how to do this.
I'm trying to import some data from a table in an Access Database into my SQL Server.
It's one field I'm having a problem with and I don't know how to get round it.
Basically the field in Access is called "DueToStart" and is a "Date/Time" type field. It shows values as "09:00:00" etc.
When I try to import this table into SQL, I get the following message, and I don't know how to get round it.
"Error as destination for row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. Insert Error, column 3('DueToStart', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow. Invalid character value for cast specification."
Hi, I have a MS Access database. Can anyone provide me the links to articles which will shows how to import from MS Access to Sqlserver dataabse. I know the import from Excel files to Sqlserver, for this we create the Excel source, Excel Connection manager. How to do the sane for Access?
The SSIS ETL server that i am running on SSIS packages doesn;t have MS ACCESS install on it.. one of the SSIS packages need to grab the ACCESS DB which is in the network folder and process it .. since the ETL server dosn;t have MS Access , it keep giving me an error "Can not open the source file".

Hi all, I've just installed the Sql Server 2005 Express Ed + Management Studio Express and I can't get how to import data from a MS Access 2003 file. From what I've read is not possible to do through the Management Studio Express so is there any other tool to do that?
hi, my company needs to import 3 access or excel ,customer order table, into ms sql database daily.orders(basic customer info), items(product info and quanity), options (options of quantity). The problem is that 3 table has to get additional column when it is imported into sql. For example, when an order comes in its intranet application, it will keep track if it is in stock or out of stock checking the product table. those 2 databases ms sql and access or excel has identical columns but sql one has more in addition . This is my first time to work this kind of case and if somebody could give me a abstract step or suggestions to accomplish this.I'll be very happy;)
When importing a Microsoft Access97 database table, I noticed it imported Text fields as datatype NVARCHAR instead of VARCHAR. Why is this, and will this cause me any problems in the future (i.e. related fields in other tables may be VARCHAR,etc)? If so, what can I do about it? Randy
I have many, many Access databases that are roughly 1.5GB-3GBs each and they have millions of records. Each MS Access Database file corresponds to one Database in SQL server. I'm trying to simply transform the data as it is in Access to MS SQL 2005.
I'm using the 64 bit version of Windows Server 2003 and the 64 bit version of SQL 2005. The server is running four dual core AMD Operton processors and has 8GB of RAM with a 1TB RAID 5 configuration. I think the hardware should be sufficient but the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard can't seem to handle the large number of tables/records. If I do one table at a time, it works well; however, it produces the following error message whenever I try to import the entire database:
Pre-execute (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: {5A5BF7AD-E86B-4316-AD43-1912358C56F4}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020801c: Data Flow Task: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you, Cody
I have created some DB tables on SQL Server. Now I want to import some data from Access using Data Transformation Services.
The APPLICATION table I have created has the following columns:
AppID, AppName, AppMnem, GripsID, Decommissioned, Last Modified, Modified By
AppID is the primary key and is an identity column with an autoincrement on insert.
The query I used to import the data from Access is:
select `T>Application>General`.`Application Name`, `T>Application>General`.`Application Mnem`, `T>Application>General`.`GripsID`, `T>Application>General`.`Decommissioned`, `T>Application>General`.`Last Modified`, `T>Application>General`.`Modified By` from `T>Application>General` where `T>Application>General`.`Application Mnem`='TMS' order by `T>Application>General`.`Application Mnem`
The transformation I used is:
'************************************************* ********************* ' Visual Basic Transformation Script ' Copy each source column to the ' destination column '************************************************* ***********************
Function Main() DTSDestination("AppName") = DTSSource("Application Name") DTSDestination("AppMnem") = DTSSource("Application Mnem") DTSDestination("GripsID") = DTSSource("GripsID") DTSDestination("Decommissioned") = DTSSource("Decommissioned") DTSDestination("Last Modified") = DTSSource("Last Modified") DTSDestination("Modified By") = DTSSource("Modified By") Main = DTSTransformStat_OK End Function
However, I keep gettting the following error:
Error at destination for row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. Instert error, column 1 ('AppID', DBTYPE_I4), status 10: Integrity violation; attempt to insert null data or data which violates constraints. Unspecified Error
I'm trying to import data from Access table using DataFlow with TransactionOptions- Required. I just want to "remove" (rollback) all records which my SSIS Dataflow inserts into SQL Server. First I tried to use normal Jet 4.0 provider - but it causes strange error. Then I tried to use .NET Jet 4.0 provider - it produces this error :
Code Block
[DataReader Source [540]] Error: System.InvalidOperationException: The ITransactionLocal interface is not supported by the 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider. Local transactions are unavailable with the current provider. at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal.EnlistTransactionInternal(Transaction transaction, Boolean forcedAutomatic) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal.EnlistTransaction(Transaction transaction) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.EnlistTransaction(Transaction transaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.ManagedHelper.GetManagedConnection(String assemblyQualifiedName, String connStr, Object transaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSConnectionManager90.AcquireConnection(Object pTransaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.DataReaderSourceAdapter.AcquireConnections(Object transaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostAcquireConnections(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper, Object transaction) Any ideas how to do this? I really need transactions in my solution. With Excel file it works fine. Thanks for help.
I am running the November Katmai CTP and am attempting to import an access report in the Business Development Studio. I am running vista ultimate and office 2007 professional. However, when i attempt to load the report i get there error 'Could not load file or assembly Interop.Access....'
Has anyone else come across this? do i need a specific version of Access installed locally in order to use the import mechanism? Thank you Jason
I have to import some Access 2003 tables into a SQL Server 2005. Since I have to do this every 6 months (different Access db into same SQL-Server) and since I have to check every single row I can't do it with the import data wizzard. I need to import the access tables into "temporary" tables in sql server and from there I'll put the rows into the correct tables...
Does anyone know how to import Access tables into SQL-Server 2005 with C#?
I have to do a lot of inporting from Access files. Is there a place where I can change the default datatype conversion for Access Text from nvarchar to varchar?
I have report that in access 97. When i run that report every morning, it's update technician time, mileage and money. I want that report to be update every min like real time report in sql reporting service.
The main thing i want to know is how to import report from access 97 to sql reporting service. I am not really familiar with reporting services in sql, can you be little more specific where to set up time? The report only update when i run query every morning. Queries and Tables are in access 97. When i tried to migrate tables with ssma, i wan not able to convert all of the query.
when i run this function i get an error : "You cannot use ODBC to import from, export to, or link an external Microsoft Jet or ISAM database table to your database"
when i try to import in the same way a dbf file (insted the csv file) with VFP it's working well.
what seems to be the problem? how can i fix it? or if some one know how can i import a large csv file into access DB in an efficient diffrent way?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, but was as close as I could get. I am an amateur stumbling thru this to "learn by doing". I am trying to set up an access front end for a SQLExpress database, currently all local for experimenting. Trying to import Excel data to a table in the database, using Access "get external data" function. I get errors and the data wont import. Error message won't give me a clue to what is wrong. All fields are named the same. If I convert the excel to a csv or tab delineated, it imports correctly. Just not the excel. Any ideas?
I have been looking for a way to import data from sql server 2005 or access into sql compact edition.
The short end of the story is that our product supports 3 databases, sql server, mysql, and access(for standalone deployments)
if we can use sql compact instead of access i believe it woudl simplify our support and maintenance, however i am struggling to find a way to get our existing data into compact.
This product is not a mobile application, and the .sdf files will be deployed to desktops, the only way ive seen to convert data so far is to use activesync over a mobile device.
is there any other way to get our existing sql server or access databases into compact?
Hi, I'm developping a web application and I need to import a data from an excel file to sql server 2005. It works very well locally (visual studio & sql server & the excel file on the same machine). But it doesn't work when visual studio & excel file are in a machine and sql server is in another server. I have always the same problem: 'C:Documents and SettingsmomoBureauFile.xls' n'est pas un chemin d'accès valide. Assurez-vous que le nom du chemin d'accès est correct et qu'une connexion est établie avec le serveur sur lequel réside le fichier. Could any one help me please ?! Thank you in advance.
We have a production Access database and SQL Server database. When I created a DTS package to import data from Access and run manually, it works fine. But when I schedule, it doesn't work, saying some one already opened the file or no permission error.
WE CAN'T get permissions for the Access file to the account that is assigned to SQL Server agent. It's internal policy of the company,because that account is used on all the sql servers to run the agent. Is there a work-around to import data from access. We do have a service account which has access to the Acess db.
