I am trying to complete a lab in the Microsoft self-paced training kit, Developing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual C# .NET.
They have provided an Access database named Contacts.mdb and a batch file named InstContacts.bat that uses InstContacts.sql to import the data.
I have installed SQLExpress, but when I run the batch file I get the following:
C:Microsoft Press...data>rem The following command line installs the Contact SQL database
C:Microsoft Press...data>osql -i InstContacts.Sql -E
[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[SQL Native Client]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.
Does anyone out there have a good example of a VB Application for importing data from an Access DB into a SQL Server DB using DTS. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to import tables from my access database.

[Note: originally posted this on microsoft.public.sqlserver.programmingbut had no luck there...sorry if you're seeing this twice]Some facts:1) I have an Access database (.mdb file) sitting on my harddrive.2) I have Visual Studio 2005, Sql Server Express, and Sql ServerManagement Studio Express.3) I do *not* have Microsoft Access.What I'm trying to do:I simply want to import the Access database into Sql Server Express. Inother words, I want to end up with a Sql Server Express database thathas all the same tables, keys, and relationships as the Access databaseas well as all the data from it. I can live without the queries storedin the Access database, but those would be nice too.What I've tried so far:I'm able to connect to the Access database using the "Linked Servers"features in Management Studio Express. From there, I was able to writesome simple Transact-SQL queries to find out what tables are in theAccess database and copy them, one at a time, into a Sql Server Expressdatabase.This is definitely a good start, but it doesn't take care of theprimary keys or foreign keys. There appear to be procedures for thoseas well (sp_primarykeys, sp_foreignkeys), but I keep thinking theremust be an easier way.Which brings me to...Questions:Without having to buy additional software/tools, can I import thisAccess database without a lot of programming? If so, how?Thanks in advance,-Dan
I hope I am giving the right information here to get help with this.
I am trying to get information from two tables that are in an access database over to sql 2005. I did this via dts and saved the import options as a file, but when I run this as a job I get the following error: Date 2/27/2008 11:14:08 AM Log Job History (CombinationTable1) Step ID 0 Server D86J0PD1 Job Name CombinationTable1 Step Name (Job outcome) Duration 00:00:00 Sql Severity 0 Sql Message ID 0 Operator Emailed Operator Net sent Operator Paged Retries Attempted 0 Message The job failed. The Job was invoked by User BIZCHAIRDarleneMurphy. The last step to run was step 1 (CombinationTable1).
I have also tried to run this in the following way:
We have a daily process, which copies millions of rows of data from one DB to another over Linked Server. Just checking on the best practise, are there more efficient ways than the Linked server to copy millions of rows of data from one DB to another? I checked bulk insert but that transfers the data from the file to DB not DB to DB.
I have a simple (3 tables) SQL Express database that I would like to downsize to Access, as I am considering removing SQL Express from my machine. I have no need of the extra capabilities of SQL Express; Access will do fine. Presumably I could just reconstruct the tables in Access manually and then populate them from SQL Express (eg. with a C# program), but I wonder if there is an easier (automatic) way?
I am trying to access a SQLExpress database on another computer on my LAN. Using Windows Authentication. I don't really want to go to Mixed Mode authentication as I understand it involves a registry tweak and creating a new user. I am a novice at this.
Getting the following error on running the connection code below:
SQLException was unhandled "Login failed for user 'D37YKC1SGuest'."
No doubt it is a security problem but I am not sure how to get around it. Any help appreciated.
I have SQL Express installed on my machine. I can access it with MACHINE_NAMESQLExpress but not .SQLExpress Because of this, I cannot add a .mdf to the App_Data folder of one of my projects (I assume) because it says "cannot locate server/instance specified".
Im getting ASP.Net 2.0 Beta 2 setup on my home machine to kick around with. Im assuming this error means i have SqlServer Express mis-configured for integrated security. if so, how do i go about making sure that the ASPNET user has at least read access to the Database?

we intalled sqlexpress on a server 2003 ...work well... named server <deval-sqlexpr> instance name of sql is <sqlexpress> we changed the server name to <apps-ii> after that we cannot access the sql instance <deval-sqlexprsqlexpress> we cannot remove (with add and remove program) that unsuable instance.
we have an instance name <apss-iisqlexpress1> and its works well
we cannot change the server name back to <deval-sqlexpr> ...the server is now the DC....
QUESTION:
is it possible to remove and clean out that instance from the server.
Hi all, I followed this excellent tutorial (from Microsoft) about creating and using a SQLExpress db table internal to your website: http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/video-08.aspx and the site I created works just fine - locally. When I publish to my web host provider I get this error: [SqlException (0x80131904): 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)] My web host provider supports .NET 2.0 but doesn't support MS SQL Server. But that should matter - right? Because I'm putting the db instance right in the website? I did a search and followed some of the advice: I went into the SQL Server Surface Area Config Mgr and set SQLExpress for local and remote connections and rebooted/republished. I also have SQL Server 2005 installed as a separate entity (if that makes a difference). I still get the above error. This is the connection string from the web.config: <connectionStrings><add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Customers.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings>And this is the call from the markup: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Customer]"></asp:SqlDataSource> Does any know the fix for this? Thanking you in advance Pat
I initially created an Access application within Access 2003 which I subsequently migrated to SQLExpress 2005 (Tables only) using Microsoft SQL Migration Assistance for Access 2003 (SSMAA) and continue to use Access 2003 as a front end, this really was easy and worked perfect. Now I added a new table to my SQLExpress DB and need to link to it from my Access application but can not find a way to do so in the same way that the SSMAA does. I need to run the Access 2003 application in share mode from multiple PC in the LAN. If I try linking to the table using an ODBC connection I can only access from the PC where the link was done! Any ideas? THanks in advance.
I need to setup a dts package to import all tables from an Access 97 database into a SQL 2000 database. Do I need to specify each table in the package or is there a better way to grab all the Access tables?
Is there a way to create a general dts to import tables from access mdb file? so that i will not have to change the dts for every table i am adding to the access file? something like foreachtable? or a way to read the tables list from the access file in the sql connection?
When I'm importing an excel table to SQL2005 and go to the column mappings it defaults to ignore for columns which were valid in access. It won't let me set it back. Why is that?
I am in the process of upgrading from Access to SQL Server. When Iimport the tables from an access file, everything looks normal inEnterprise Manager. All the tables are listed properly.However, when I login through Query Analyzer, the tables names have aprefix (my username). Why is that? How can I get rid of it?I'd hate to have to modify all my souce code to reflect the "new" tablenames.Bijoy
Dear All, I need to import data from Access 2000 into SQL 2000. The collection of Access 2000 databases I have are build identically, with differing data. I need to get that data into some tables I have built in SQL 2000 . I understand there are 3 main methods, DTS, BCP, Bulk Insert. I would prefer not to use BCP since I want to write a Stored Proceedure to call the data in. Any thoughts ?
how can i import reports from Access. I tried from regular tool but when i try to view the report's query and it does not work!! how can i get it to work.
I need help, I am building an Intranet for my company, and we have a system here that we use to clock in and clock out, and the data is stored in an Access database. Now the HR manager needs to run a report weekly for all the temps to see what time they clocked in and out. I have designed a web form where he puts in the date from and date to and select the employee, BUT the problem is I'm using SQL Server, I import the Access database to SQL every morning. Now I need to know How can I have Job in SQL that will import the data automatically without me having to do it manually every morning.
How do I do this using SSIS and DTS I'm using SQL Server 2005.
I am running SQL Server 2005. I created all the tables/columns/keys I needed. I export the data to Access.
In Access, I add all the data for the tables. Then I use SSIS to import-append the data back in to SQL Server 2005.
I get this error: ------------------------- - Pre-execute (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Destination - tbl_name" (19) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) -----------------------
I can use the import tool (SSIS) to create new tables, but not append the data. Creating new tables makes all the tables to lose information about field lengths etc, so this is not an option
I have an access database that i upsized a few weeks ago and i need to add another table form that database, however when i use the DTS import wizard to get the particular table i wish i get as far as picking the table but i cant preview or do the import, i get the following error message on it!
Error Source: Microsoft Jet Database, Error Description: record(s) cannot be read; No permission on the table 'InternetBilling', Context: error calling openrowset on the provider.
Ive working on a copy of the access database and given all user groups read persmission and im still getting this, how do i get around it?
I am trying to import a table from Access and/or Excel. I have attempted with both programs. I get errors possibly due to some bad data over the years. Is it possible to tell SQL Server to import a table and discard any errors? or is there a way to scrub the data before importing to make sure all possible causes of errors are corrected or addressed?
We are attempting to import data from Microsoft Access databases to SQL Server 2000 using the DTS Import/Export Wizard. I have a few questions.
1) Some of the Access tables have a single field for combined date time with the Access data type set to Date/Time and no formatting set. When the conversion happens these become text data type in the SQL Server. Is there a way to have these become either the smalldatetime SQL Server data type or datetime SQL Server data type?
2) On some other Access Tables with the data type set again to Date/Time again no formatting is set but some columns are dates with the date in the Short Date format, and some columns are times in the Short Time format. Some of these columns may contain null values. This is causing the following error.
Error at Destination for Row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. Insert error column 152 ('ViewMentalTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow. Insert error column 150 ('VRptTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow. Insert error column 147 ('ViewAppTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow. Insert error column 144 ('VPreTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow. Insert error column 15 ('Time', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow. Invalid character value for cast specification. Invalid character value for cast specification. Invalid character value for cast specification. Invalid character value for cast specification. Invalid character value for cast specification.
We thought maybe it was due to the naming of the one field as "Time" so we changed the name of that field but again the same error occurs but with the new field name.
When we click on the transform button to view the data types none of them are listed as timestamp.
Is it possible that the DB Admin saved some tables and then later on tried to add tables to the same database that is causing this error?
Are we better off trying to import the table structure first and then fill the tables later?
Hi there,I have a situation where an application needs to import data fromnumber of access mdb files on a daily bases. The file names changeevery day. The data import is very straight forward:insert into sql_table select * from acess_tableThere are up to 8 tables in each access file and some access files willhave less. So the process needs to figure out which tables exist inAccess mdb file and import them whole into sql staging tables.Any recommendations are appreciated.Thanks
Hi! When i'm importing into ReportServer report made with Access i've got those errors:
An error occurred while the report Bank Account Transactions By Type was being imported: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '[Bank_x0020_Account_x0020_Transactions_x0020_By_x0020_Type].Parameters![trans type]' Key being added: '[Bank_x0020_Account_x0020_Transactions_x0020_By_x0020_Type].Parameters![trans type]'
An error occurred while the report Bills from Purchase Orders by Supplier was being imported: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '[Bills_x0020_from_x0020_Purchase_x0020_Orders_x0020_by_x0020_Supplier].Parameters![vendor]' Key being added: '[Bills_x0020_from_x0020_Purchase_x0020_Orders_x0020_by_x0020_Supplier].Parameters![vendor]'
What is the meaning of those errors? I thought it was because ReportServer was trying to add 2 or more parameter with the same Name but for example in my report Bank Account Transactions By Type i only have one textbox that use the name trans type. So is someone have an idea?
