Import Tables Through ODBC Connection Into SQL Express
May 13, 2008
I'm trying to import data from an Oracle database into SQL Express. Basically I have a database that's local to my machine (C# front end with a SQL express back end) but I need to tie in some data from an Oracle database. The reason I'm trying to import it instead of just using a connection in C# to hit it is that I need to be able to access the tables while I'm offline so I need a local copy. I couldn't find any references on doing it through stored procedures or anything like that. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
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?
If I create any other user (test, felix, fido, etc) in my database, that user can login successfully through Management Studio Express except not through an ODBC connection. Thus, this is a very bizarre issue. I have made sure this user has the same roles as SA. My instance is configured to handle SQL Server Authentication and Integrated. This works fine in Studio Express, but not in the ODBC connection.
When using "SA" login, I can connect to Management Studio Express and through an ODBC connection. Seems rudimentary enough, however, if I change the name in the ODBC connection i get
"Connection Failed,
SQLState '28000', SQL
Server Error 18456,
Microsoft SQL Native Client SQL Server Login failed for user 'xyz'"
Any ideas? Do I need a different ODBC Administrator?
I have a SQL Server database that I connect a front end to using an ODBC connection. Our LAN folks upgraded the server recently and now I can no longer see any of the tables through the ODBC connection that the user used for login has permission in SQL Server Enterprise Manager to see - throught the ODBC connection the user can only see things like:
I've tried deleting the user for the connection and re-establishing it with owner permissions. I've tried deleting the dsn and re-establishing that as well but nothing so far.
I am attempting to setup a SQL Server 2005 Express database as a backend to an Access MDB, and need to establish an ODBC data source for the backend database. On two different systems (Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 SBS), I get an error that says I cannot connect to the SQL Server. I get a message that says:
Connection failed: SQL State 08001 SQL Server Error: 2 [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server
That is followed by a Login timeout expired and a suggestion that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
I have shared memory, named pipes and TCP/IP protocols enabled, and the firewall set to allow connections on port 1433. And the Express manager seems to work OK.
I see several posts about issues with ODBC, but none of the suggestions seem to help in this situation. Can anyone suggest something to try? Thanks in advance.
Hope one of you can help me. I've got SQL Server 2005 Express installed on a laptop. I'm trying to create an ODBC connection to it so that I can access the database from a program locally that will be writing to it. I can connect to the SQL instance by listing the server name as DSR-XXXXXXX(ComputerName)SQLEXPRESS
However... when I access that ODBC connection, it doesn't see the database DBProScout (which was created inside SQL Express on this laptop locally), and I cannot access the tables within it. The only tables that I can access are system tables associated with SQL Server Express.
I maked ODBC for SQL erver data base and linked with Access database which is working good but when I check ODBC link in access it shows alot of other stuff and all tables related to that database .
Is there any way to remove irrelevant tables/views etc from that ODBC - thanks for help
I have a MS Access database (mdb) containing the following tables:
Crime
Criminal
CrimeCommitted
Hideout
CriminalType
The Criminal table contains information about each criminal and the CrimeCommitted table contains information about the specific crimes. I've written the following query to return only the latest crime committed by each criminal:
Code Snippet
SELECT Criminal.CriminalID, Criminal.Firstname, Criminal.Lastname, Criminal.Nickname, Criminal.Gender, Criminal.DOB, Criminal.Eyes, Criminal.Complexion, Criminal.Weight, Criminal.Height, Criminal.Build, Criminal.Scars, Criminal.Occupation, Criminal.CrimeOrgID, Criminal.IQ, Criminal.Hideout, Criminal.CriminalType, Max(CrimeComitted.Date) AS Last_Crime_Comitted FROM Criminal INNER JOIN CrimeComitted ON Criminal.CriminalID=CrimeComitted.CriminalID GROUP BY Criminal.CriminalID, Criminal.Firstname, Criminal.Lastname, Criminal.Nickname, Criminal.Gender, Criminal.DOB, Criminal.Eyes, Criminal.Complexion, Criminal.Weight, Criminal.Height, Criminal.Build, Criminal.Scars, Criminal.Occupation, Criminal.CrimeOrgID, Criminal.IQ, Criminal.Hideout, Criminal.CriminalType;
This query works fine for obtaining the Criminal table data, but once i've include CrimeCommitted.Country in the SELECT statement, the data returned contained all the crimes committed by each criminal (i just need the latest crime).
The query doesn't work when another table, other than Criminal, is selected. How can i obtain the columns in the CrimeCommitted table in this query?
I've developed an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I created a DSN to connect to the database through ODBC. Currently, I am testing locally and everything works fine.
I would now like to install my application on another workstation and connect remotely to the database located on my development machine.
The client workstation does not have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it because I would just like my application to connect remotely by creating the DSN and using ODBC. What I'm missing here are the database drivers. The "SQL Natice Client" is not available on this client workstation. How can I deploy the necessary drivers with my installation file so that I may create the required DSN name using the SQL Native Client driver?
I am using SSIS 2014 with the below .net framework version and installed in Windows server 2012 R2 . I have installed my client's odbc drivers (both 32 bit and 64 bit) in my production server and created ODBC system DSNs for 32 bit and 64 bit.
When i open SSIS 2014 and tried to create the odbc connection but i can able to see only the 32 bit system DSN connection ,i can't able to see my 64 bit odbc system dsn connection.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated) Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.5.51650
SQL Server Integration Services Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version 12.0.1524.0
And i installed my client odbc drivers(32,64 bit) and created ODBC system DSNs in my local system and when i open ssis 2014 and i can able to see both the ODBC system DSNS(32,64) connections from SSIS ODBC connection.
I am using below version of .net framework in my local system which was installed in windows 7 and i have SSIS 2012 also installed in my system and i can able to see both ODBC connections using 2012 as well in my local system.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated) Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.5.50938

why i can not see the ODBC 64 bit system DSN connection from SSIS in my production server ?
I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?
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
I'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.
I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!
So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?
Is it possible to import tables into a SQL 2000 Database via an ODBC connection? The source files are dBase III (*.dbf) and reside on a different network from the SQL 2000 server. If so, would it then be possible to update those files via the same method?
I am trying to import unidata into SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.
I can successfully import data into MS Access. It is simple. I just tell Access to look at the appropriate system DSN, put in the server, database name and password, and there are all the tables to choose from.
The ODBC data source is not one of my choices in the Import/Export Wizard in SSMS.
How do I use the Import/Export Wizard to import unidata?
we have recently purchased a server with sql 2005. One of the things we are looking to do is pull our entire informix database over onto the sql box. I have tried using the import/export wizard however when it comes to the copying I the option to copy all tables is greyed out. I have been able to do this sql to sql but not when i select the source as odbc and destination as sql.
I need to try and resolve this quite quickly and any advice/help would be appreciated. Please bear in mind that im relatively new to this stuff. I have had a look at other posts, and am getting the impression that this cannot be done simply. My initial understanding was that this could be done using the DTS in sql 2000 quite simply, but was also told that it should be even easier in 2005..
Hi, there; I want to importing data from ODBC, I created DataReader Source which use a .NET Provide Odbc Data Provider and connected successfully. My destination is a OLE DB Destination that points to SQL2005. I set the SQL command as "SELECT * from ....". I also have problem to create new table in SQL2005 using SSIS Import and Export Wizard, it doesn't know the source table table schema (two date type column). So I create the new table manully and run the package, I got error:

Can any one know what's wrong here?
And it is quite pain that you have to specify the table name every time you want to create a new table in SQL2005. It is so easy in SQL2000!!!
How do you import using integration services or what ever to import from a Citadel database? I have created an ODBC Data Source using National Instruments ODBC driver for Citadel? I have tried using Microsoft Access, but the field names are longer than 62 characters and Access won't "link" to the ODBC Data Source.
The SQL Server Management StudioTasksImport Wizard doesn't appear to have a way to specify an ODBC Data Source.
I am trying to import tables from an ODBC data source into an SQL Server 2005 database. I presume that one way to achieve this is to create an Integration Services package, via Business Intelligence Studio (I already used DTS in SQL Server 2000, but not Integration Services) ?
Or is there a simpler way ? For instance, is there an import wizard that woult include an ODBC Data source ?
I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum. Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it. I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list. As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?
Has anyone had an issue with the ODBC data source that when you set it up for SQL, it does not retain the username and password you entered and keeps defaulting back to the NT windows verification instead of using the SQL verification that you choose?
I add a datasource, select validation based off of SQL profile/password assigned, enter the user and password I assigned on SQL, go through the setup and test successfully. Then I try to connect using that datasource with my VB application and it says connection failure. When I go back to the datasource, it has changed back to NT verification and removes the user/password I entered for SQL verification. Maybe there is an service pack from MS on this?
any help is appreciated. At the very least, I can just hard code into my VB app, but that is my last resort. Thanks!
I installed the MS SQL server 7.0 on a Windows NT 4.0 SP 4 server. The network runs with TCP/IP. I want to connect the SQL server by a ODBC-connection. Only a connection on the server (local) was successful.
The odbcping-utility reports following: COULD NOT CONNECT TO SQL SERVER
SQLState: 08001 Native Error: 6 Info. Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNMPNTW]Selected SQL server not found.
I am currently running a application and a database server they are connected via ethernet. Only the application is connected to our network. Is there a way to connect MS Access to the database server without connecting the database server to the network? I've tried several different approaches and it still dosent work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dale
Would someone provide a code snip example of a T-SQL script using an ODCB connection against a non-SQL2K database. I can hit the outside database using DTS (so I know it is possible) but I'm having trouble with the parameters using a script.
Hello - I'm trying to creat an ODBC connection and the db I created is not showing up in the dropdown for 'Change the default database to:' option. I'm logged into SQL using Windows Authentication, create the db, restored it w/ a backup and then added a user w/ no problems. Any ideas?
I am trying to connect to SQL Server using a 3rd party report generating software (dbextra). Everything is located on my local box. I am trying to establish connection through ODBC. Is this installed during setup or is this a function I have to manually set up and configure?
I have front-end visual basic program that use an ODBC connection to connect with SQL server, and my questions is there any automated procedure to configure this ODBC connection instead of configure it manually specially of the user profiles was changed I have to configure it again.
We have three users that access a particular sqlserver database via microsoft access, two of the users have no problem, the third user used to be able to use the access database but is now getting a sql server error 18452 followed by an error message 'login failed for user '(null)' reason: not associated with a trusted sql server connection. When reviewing the odbc setup that the user that is having problems has, we find two sqlserver entries when it asks 'which sqlserver do you want'. How do i go about finding out where that entry comes from so i can look into removing one of them. None of the other users have two sqlserver entries. The othere users have no problem accessing this sqlserver database via ms access, I'm trying to find out why all of a sudden this one user is having problems
