Anything I should know about before I start?
Also I want to work with SQL Express from another workstation instead of directly with the server, which tool do I use to build with it?
Probably very obvious answers but since it is critical to do it right, I wanted to check.
What is the best tutorial in regard to these kinds of functions?
THANKS!
I have a database in MS Access that I would like to migrate to SQL Server Express 2005. How do I do this? Is there a software I need to download?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I'm very new to SQL server and has been asked to convert microsoft access database .MDB to SQL server. In another word, i'd like to migrate access to SQL Server. It's not a huge database. The size of it is roughly 6MB. The reason for migration is simply because our clients don't have microsoft office running on their system. They use SQL Server. This's a new challenge to me as i'm more comfortable with using Access now.
I have been searching and studying it thru the online tutorial about what it's and what it does. I have also downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express edition because it has GUI Interface and it does have the ability to produce reports like Access does. Now my question is how do i start because when i created the database i didn't think of any client/server application? so if i want to run the Access, i just double click it and start using it. how do i migrate it to SQL Server for a testing sake?
I really need some guidance here please.
Thank you in advance

View 5 Replies View RelatedHello allWould it be possible to migrate the MS Access 2000 to MS SQL Server2000?My application is using MS Access 2000 as database and as userinterface such as forms. Now, I want to migrate the backend databasefrom MS Access 2000 to MS SQL Server 2000. However, I want to keep theMS Access 2000 interface. Would it be possible?If I migrate the MS Access to SQL Server, would the queries, back-endVBA, macro, tables and forms be affected? Do I need to change the MSAccess data type to SQL server supported data type?Which tool I can use to do the migration? Upsizing wizard or exportingthe Access database and then importing it to the SQL server?Thanks in advanceCheersBon
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to import from Access, the DTS wizard only allows me toimport tables and queries. OK, I'm not surprised the "macros" andreports don't come over.But it executes each query, and created a _table_ to hold the results.The sensible thing would be that SELECT queries become viewsand the others become stored procedures. But I find no waycontrols I can select to do that.I have to manually create the views/procedures and paste in the SQL.And then I still have to translate it into standard SQL.--Wes GroleauBeware of the man who works hard to learn something, learnsit, and finds himself no wiser than before ...

Dear All,
Sorry for writing little lengthy question,thought can give a clear
information.
Environment:
I am looking to automate a data migration from MS Access 2003 to Sql
Server 2000, Client version I have Sql 2005, So am using Business
Intelligence development studio.
Brief:
Just to give a broader picture of the task , I am going to have a
Asp.net page in which user will provide the DB name and in a click of
a button I need to call the SSIS package and migrate all data from
Sql Server to MS Access.
Current situation:
I am totally new to SQL server and for SSIS too.For now I am able to
migrate data but partially (10%).Rest showing error of length in the
Columns.I am afraid am I using the rite componets ? .Am using "OLE DB
Source" for getting data from Sql server , then connecting it
to "Data Conversion" and from that to "OLE DB Destination".
Is this correct ? and so I need to use these 3 for ever table to be
migrated ? .Problems in this are I need to DB (MS Access) with the
table in place before execution,which is not according to requirement
too.
Kindly help me on this .
Thanks and regards

Hi - is it possible to migrate to SQL Server 2005 Express from MSDE - and still use ASP.Net 1.1? Or will Express only work with ASP.Net 2.0?My MSDE database has simple SPs (no functions), and straight forward tables - can I just use DTS from Enterprise Manager to transfer this from MSDE to SQL Express, or create a backup, and import that into SQL Express 2005?Also, there was a sort of Enterprise Manager available for SQL Server 2005 Express at one point - does anyone know where to find that?Thanks for any pointers/help.Mark

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 would be grateful for any ideas....thanks.

I need to take the records from my MS Access DB and migrate them to SQL. I have both db table structures somewhat mapped out and its only about 43 records or lines. The data in Access is all kept in a single table and in SQL I need to have it populate seperate individual tables.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI’ve been asked to migrate many Access databases to SQL Server. There are no reports, queries or forms in these databases. There are two different database structures. Each has many copies with different data. For example, 80 people each have a copy of abc.mdb. Each copy has the same tables, but different data. The databases cannot be merged without modifying the structure of the databases and the programs that access them. There are over 100 databases ranging in size from 2 MB to 60 MB.
What’s the best approach to do this? I don’t want to manually run each through the upsize wizard.
Should I use a local SQL Server Express or a central SQL Server?
Will there be any benefits to doing this? Will the performance improve?
Personally I’d rather redesign the databases, merge the data and modify the applications that use the data. But it’s not my decision.
I migrated a DB from Access 2000 to SQLserver 2000.The tables are OK, but I see the old Access views... as TABLE inSQLserver!!Any suggestions?--

I am trying to migrate from MySQL 4.1 to MS SQL Express 2005
1. do i need to create an empty db under Express
2. can this be done from within Express by pulling from MySQL into Express or do I need to work from command lines
3. what would be the cleanest way to approach this
I have a MySQL dump and did look at the result from within Express, but it was not an import, I would like to find a way to import if possible that data. Table by table would be fine.

hello,
i have no idea what i am doing here and could use some help from someone who knows what they are doing.
i have a proliant ml350 g3 server running windows 2003 server with sql express 2005 software.
all the databases are running in compatibility sql 7 mode.
I would like them to be in sql 2005 mode if possible. Is there a way to upgrade the databases in the process?
here's a plan I came up with:
take sql workgroup 2005 edition evaluation, install it on a machine.
Mount all databases on the machine.
Wipe out the sql express 2005 machine, reinstall workgroup edition on the new server.
but here is my question
is there a way to migrate the data from the workgroup edition over to the new server through a DTS copy process, and if so, will it create a new version of the databases with the proper collation or the proper english?
please let me know. if this works, i will be thrilled!
I've got about 2 months worth of daily databases created in SQL Express 2005 for a pilot project, which the client is converting to a purchase. Unfortunately they're using SQL Server 2000 and I can't figure out how to migrate the databases to the older version. All my searching turns up how to do it in the expected direction.
Any pointers to how or where to search appreciated.
Thanks,
Wendell
Hi,
i am very new to databases. I use VWD 2005, Sql Server Express 2005 and have a remote database through a host rather than my own server. i have managed to create sql databases fine. Its with Access Databases Im really geting confused:
Can i use an access database I have created using VWD and sql server Express 2005? Or would it run just through VWD and the remote ?
If i use VWD I dont usually need to use IIS but if the latter of the two options is what I must do then i would manually need to create a virtual folder?

I just downloaded SQL Server Express from online and I'm unable to access it now. I cant make a connection nor can I create a database. Could anyone help me out with this and let me know what I've done incorrectly?
Thank you!
Hi,
I've installed Visual Studio Express C# and Visual Studio Express Web Designer along with SQL Server. I've downloaded the example databases and have installed them - I can access the databases using the SQL Server tools.
When I try to access any SQL Server databases (specifically the Northwind example DB) via the Add Database Connection dialog in either C# or Web Designer, I get an error box with message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".
I get this when I manually enter Northwind in the Database Name field; if I try to browse, the whole dialog exits, or, sometimes Visual C# Express crashes. Since the same problem occurs both within C# and Web Designer, I'm assuming the problem is in SQL Server, which is why I'm posting in this forum.
I'm sure I have some configuration problem, and a complete uninstall/reinstall is certainly a possibility, but I'm hoping someone has an idea about how I can around this problem without having to reinstall.
Thanks for your time,
Larry
I have been developing a database application in MS Access that is intended for distribution. Before I go any further I would like to make sure that I should be using MS Access and not SQL Server Express. Can someone point me to a good source of information on this topic?
