Hello a,,
I have a MS SQL database that I use MS ACESS to add data to and also to query.
My question is how can I setup the MS Access database so that it will not allow duplicate entries to be added to the MS SQL database? I know How I could do it using php via a webpage but I need to be able to do this using the MS Access program directly since thats what we use to add and search the dbase with.
thanks
Hi,

Hello all...
I created several SSIS packages on a 32-bit system, using odbc to to access the dbase source file. Finally, after setting up a proxy, etc., we got the package to run and import data. We then needed to move the packages to a 64-bit system. So, we built our manifests, and installed all of our packages. We are using several dtsConfig files for our packages, and in there we specify the DSN that we will be accessing. I understand that MS does not support odbc drivers in a 64-bit world (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=85703&SiteID=1). Has anyone been faced with this issue? How did you get past it? I accessed the 32-bit odbc drivers on the 64-bit system, and i setup a dsn that points to the dbase file, but when i run the job, the log file has an error that the dsn was not found. However, when I run the package itself, it runs as expected...
Please help!! :-)

I am trying to get a handle on the new SQL Server Integration Services in SQL Server 2005. There is a legacy DTS package that I need to get working on our new server (using SQL Server 2005) but I can't seem to get it to work.First, I migrated it and attempted to run the package. It gave me many errors. So, I thought I would just rebuild it in integrated services. Everything was going smooth until I got to the real data transformation part.I added a data flow task and it took me to the Data Flow tab. Then I added a DataReader Source. I am trying to read from a dBase III file and I assumed I would be using an ODBC driver for that. Well... it has been hell trying to get it to see the dBase III file and access it.I have tried two solutions from the internet.This one and this one (by Wenyang) with no positive results.No matter what I do I still get an error in the bottom of the Advanced Editor for DataReader Source that reads: "Error at Sales Transformation [DataReader Source [81]]: Cannot acquire a managed connection from the run-time connection manager."Has anyone attempted anything like this before? Are there any SSIS experts around here that can drop me a few pearls of wisdom?Thanks in advance... I'm dying here.

The memory couldnot be read.Althoug the transform task for one of the files will run, the otherwill not run giving the messageError Source: DTS packageCatastrophic failureAlso, I have an Access database that has links to the same dBasefiles. For files from dBF2 folder, I'm able to see the data from oneof the files, but if I double click to see the data from the other,access crashes with no specific error message. Nothing has changed ondBase related files (permission wise).The transform tasks to extract data from the other dBase folder (dBF1)files are working fine, and data is accesible from Access.Any advice how to tackle this one?

Another option a tried is having a query from 2 different datasources, but I don´t know how to make a reference to the 2 sqldatassources in a new one to be linked to the gridview
Has anyone had any experience using the openrowset function to access a dbase IV file? I can access the file using ADO from within VB but not getting anywhere using openrowset. If anyone knows the syntax or has an example it would be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for a better way to move data from DBase3 files into SQL Server 2k. The Dbase file has approximately 2 million records and after applying a SELECT statement to retrieve the data I need to move, there are still over 600,000 records. To move this data I have used DTS (data pump) to transform the data- THIS IS UNBEARABLY SLOW. Next, I created an exe to transform the data to a flat file and then used BULK INSERT to copy the data. The exe is slow, but the BULK INSERT is fast. I have moved the source and destination to the local Server to increase performance, but with little imporvement.
My question:
Is there a better way to move large amounts of data from DBase3 files to SQL Server without waiting 38 hours to move 600,000 rows? Thanks for your help.
I have some database files with .dbf from dBase and I want to transfer data from the .dbf files to Microsoft SQL database (2000). Can someone help me with that? Thanks.

I have been asked to look into converting a DBase II database on an AS400 to MS SQL Server 2000 or newer running on Windows 2003 or newer.
I know that it can be done but how hard will it be and how long could it take?
Are there any conversion packages out there that will do the majority of the leg work for us?

OBALALU, Babatunde S.
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but I have an issue.
I have a SQL2005 server with SAN drives for the MDF/LDF files. I have updated recently to SP2.
When I detach a Dbase using the appropriate command it strips the Security on the file level (which SP2 is supposed to fix) and I am unable to attach the database.
I am using a domain account to do this with from the query analyser window.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

My question is, I have a stored procedure in our MS_SQL 7 dbase that pukes out the info in a table with MSAccess. What I would like to do is, have a nice customized report be generated via http link. I designed and made such a report that queries the SQL sp_ with Crystal Report 8 I installed the browser plug in on a test workstation launched the report (via web) and I get prompted for access credentials (username & Password). Nothing works except the sa account in on the SQL server (and I am a sysadmin on that server),. I am giving that up in hopes to achieve this goal with a ASP page, but I really do not even know where to start. remember I have a storeed procedure that does the querying for me, so if there is a way to make "form that queries the sp_ maybe? ...I don't know really new at this.
Can i update a field in a table in 1 dbase based upon data in another table in another dbase.

Hi,
I have used the backup tool in MS Access 2000.ADP many times
To make a nice backup of my adp Projects server objects(tables & data) that
I have in my MS SQL Sever 7.0 dBase. and then have successfully restored them back to the same computer that I have backed them up to. .
But now I need to transfer server SQL 7.0 DAT backup files over to two other types of computer setups..
I need to transfer these files and import or restore them onto another
computer that has MS Access 2000 and SQL 7.0 on a NT Server 4.0 platform and
also to a computer that has MS Access 2000 and MSDE on a win98 platform..
Have tried many different things but cannot seem to find a way to transfer or restore the SQL 7.0 DAT files to a different named dbase NT server with SQL 7.0 or to a win98 client with a named dbase on a MSDE file. the ADP client portion is just a simple file transfer but these SQL Server 7.0 DAT backup files... argh!
I am completely stumped even after trying many things and consulting the SQL
server manual.

I've connect some .DBF file to SQL server 7 with linked server option. My table have about 200.000 records. I've tried with ODBC and Jet 4.0 option (found in www.mssqlserver.com) but I've very slow response if I use a "where" in the select instance.
In fact I've the response after 10 seconds and during this seconds the processor go to 100%.
Does anyone found a most speed way to do this?

I've followed the steps on how to use the ForEach loop container using a Flat Text file and it's working fine. I tried reading the text file and put it in my SQL table. However, I have some DBF files as well and the ForEach loop does not work at all with my DBF files.
Here is my scenario:
A connection manager pointed to C:DBF_FILES
On the Control Flow: a Foreach loop container with Foreach file enumerator. (checks for IFUL*.DBF files and retrieves the Fully qualified name.
Within the foreach loop container is my DataFlow (import)
Within the dataflow:
OLEDB datasource
data access mode: Table name or View Name variable
Variable nam: username::Filefound
Now from this point on, I'm already having problems, here is the error:
An OLEDB error has occured.
An OLEDB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers.
Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
Error at data flow task...
There is also some error that say i don't have a destination table specified. Plus the error is on the OLEDB datasource not having a destination table? I don't understand this part.
Please help!
I followed the steps outlined in
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337084.aspx
and was successful at importing ".dbf" files from a dBase 7.0 folder.
However, this import was quite slow: approx. 2000 rows per second. Some of the tables I must import have over 8,000,000 rows, which would then take 4,000 seconds, or over one hour. This import rate seems unaffected by whether or not I put a "Copy Column" Data Flow Transformation task between the "OLE DB Source" and "OLE DB Destination" objects.
In SQL Server 2000 it was much faster to import such large tables. The 8 million row table takes only 14 minutes (800 seconds) with SQL Server 2000 -- giving a transfer rate approx. 5 times as fast.
Is there any way to speed up this process in SQL Server 2005? (In SQL Server 2000 there was a "Use fast load" option on the "Options" tab of the "Transform Data Task Properties." I have not yet found any similar option for SQL Server 2005.)
My receiving database is using the "Simple" model, so there is no need to create transaction entries for loading these large tables. There are also no indexes on these tables: the data are being loaded into new tables created in SSIS.
Thanks for your help with this issue.
Due to some legacy requirements, I'm using an OLEDB connection with the Jet driver and creating dBASE III tables (.DBFs) as the destination for a data export. The source is SQL Server 2000. The SQL table has a bunch of varchar columns, and I can't send them directly to the .DBF because SSIS complains that it can't (implicitly) convert from non-Unicode to Unicode. UNICODE?! dBASE III is ancient. Why would Jet/SSIS assume that these .DBFs are Unicode? As it stands, I have to put a data conversion task between the source and destination and convert all the columns. It's a real pain.
And no, I don't want to make all my SQL Server columns nvarchar. Is there any setting I can put in the connection manager or the connection string to prevent this error? I've already set AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage to True on the OLEDB destination component and the default code page is 1252. That didn't work; I still got the can't convert error.
Hello,
I need a sql server 7 script that will migrate data from
my DEV dbase to my WEB dbase. The data desired is for the field
rig_id for rig number 0018. The shell of both dbases are similar.
The table is called rig. An snapshot is below:
DBASE name - DEV
TABLE name - rig
customer rig_id amount
Williams 0011 328
Borsha 0013 256
Kaila 0018 411
Yoida 0021 347
The rig table also exists on the WEB dbase. However, the Kaila data
for rig_id number 0018 needs to be added to the WEB dbase's rig table.
The Williams, Borsha, and Yoida data already exists on both tables.
I need to perform this migration w/ a TRANSACT-SQL stored procedure.
Thanks Very Much IN Advance,
Dave

appending the deltas (changes) to the dbase on a different, say production server for each affected field
prompt the user (dba, developer, super user) for the fields to involve in the comparing and documenting of changes (deltas).

Hi,
I am trying to use linked tables to connect SQL Server 2000 to a legacy system using dbase III files. (I need real time read only access to these files)
I have created a linked table from SQL server to a folder on the C drive which contains the dbase III files, using an ODBC DSN which uses "Microsoft dbase driver (*.dbf)". DSN tested successfully using Excel. Linked server connection is then created using "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers".
The dbase tables appear OK in Enterprise manager, but I cannot get a query to work in SQL Anayzer, using the 4-part name syntax.
My query is just :
SELECT * FROM LinkedTable...customers
Error message is "Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'". Now I am pretty sure dbase files do not support any sort of schema / catalog set up, so I suspect SQL Server is looking for something it is not going to get.
One clue might be that in Enterprise manager, under the catalog column, I get the pathname to the dbase file, ie c:customers.dbf, which I cannot enter in the 4-part syntax.
Any suggestion welcome !!!

Approximately once a month, a client of ours sends us a bunch ofcomma-delimited text files which I have to clean up and then importinto their MS SQL database. All last week, I was using a Cold Fusionscript to upload the cleaned up files and then import the records theycontained into the database, though obviously, the process tookfriggin' forever, and could have been done 500x quicker had I done itdirectly on the server. My SQL knowledge is somewhat limited, however,so I had no choice but to stick to what I know, which is Cold Fusionprogramming.In the process of cleaning up some of these comma-delimited text files,I inadvertently messed up some of the 10-digit zip codes, by applyingthe wrong Excel formula to the ZIP columns. These records were importedinto the database with obviously incorrect zip codes (ie: singledigit). So now, I have to find the best and quickest way possible tocompare these records in the database (that have the single digit zipcodes) with the unmodified data, and to update the zip codes with thecorrect data.I've had no luck setting up a TEXT file as an ODBC datasource, -- soI've ruled that out completely. I've also managed to import theunmodified data into an Access database, and to set it up as a ColdFusion datasource. But it seems this 2nd road I've been traveling downis not the ideal approach either.My question is, -- assuming that I'll be able to import the recordsfrom the Access database into their own table on the SQL server, -- howshould I go about the process of updating these records that have theincorrect zip codes?Here is the specific logic I would need to employ:* Here is a list of records, each of which contains an incorrect1-digit zip code (Database A / Table A)* Here is a much longer list of records (which contains all of therecords from Database A / Table A + thousands more), each of whichcontains a correct 5-digit zip code (Database B / Table B)* Compare both lists of records and run the following query/update:When a record in Database A / Table A has matching "name", "address1",and "address2" values as a record in Database B / Table B -- update therecord in Database B / Table B with the zip code from the matchingrecord in Database A / Table A.Would anyone care to write a sample query for me that I could rundirectly on the SQL server, or at least give me some pointers?The specific field names are as follows:name,address1,address2,city,state,zipThanks in advance!- yvan
