Migrating Access To SQL Server
May 4, 2004
We use MS Access 2000 as our database, but run into lots of proplems. So we decided to research the migration to SQL Server.
I used Access Upsizing utitlity to migrate tables and their data to SQL server very easily, and all the relationships, indecies and other information are converted correctly.
Next is to migrate the queries. I found that to be a pain. Is there any tool out there that can do it for me? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Once that's done, then it's the application itself, but I am not worrying that for now.
Thanks, guys

I have a query in Access that has an iif statement in the select system like so:
SELECT [01_qryCommonCost_01].*, tblPercent_Afe.AfeDescription,
tblPercent_Vendor.[Vendor%], tblPercent_Afe.[Afe%], IIf([manual%] Is Not
Null,[Manual%],IIf([PropType]="NonMkt",0,IIf([Vendor%] Is Not
Null,[Vendor%],IIf([Afe%] Is Not Null And [GlType]<>"OpExp",[Afe%],[Gl%]))))
AS [%], 0+round2([Amount]*[%]) AS Allocated,
0+round2([Allocated]*[Salvage%]) AS Salvage
FROM (01_qryCommonCost_01 LEFT JOIN tblPercent_Vendor ON
([01_qryCommonCost_01].GlType = tblPercent_Vendor.GlTyp) AND
([01_qryCommonCost_01].VendorName = tblPercent_Vendor.VendorName)) LEFT JOIN
tblPercent_Afe ON ([01_qryCommonCost_01].AfeNo = tblPercent_Afe.AfeNo) AND
([01_qryCommonCost_01].Group = tblPercent_Afe.Group)
But I can't figure out how to nest the iif statement in T-SQL. Any hints?

Afternoon all,Apologies for cross-posting but as my query covers both Access and SQLServer I thought I'd send it both!I have inherited a project to migrate a fairly complex series ofAccess databases into a single proper SQL database with a web frontend.Its quite a nasty job as people are working on a variety of data setsat several Universities around the world and the data has got verymessy; hence the requirement to put it all on one live web enableddatabase server and provide a web-based front end (particularly assome users insist on using Macs so can't run Access as a front endanyway).If anyone could give me hints on how to perform such a migration or ifanyone knows of any good books or other documents on this I'd begrateful for assistance.Many thanksRich MayMuseum of London

First off, sorry if my cross posting offends anyone. I'm posting thisin Access and SQL Server groups - not sure which one is appropriate.I have a relatively simple ASP.NET/VB.NET application that is nowhitting an Access 2000 database over an intranet. We have to migratethe database to SQL Server 7. My experience with ASP.NET is prettylimited and my experience with SQL Server is nonexistent.We have an MSDN subscription, so I went to the downloads section to getSQL Server 7. Guess what? SQL Server 6.5 is available, as is 2000 and2005, but no SQL Server 7. So my first question is, does anyone know ifit is available for MSDN subscribers?The next question is, does anyone know of a good resource that explainshow to make the transition from Access 2000 to SQL Server 7? I know thedata has to be migrated and the connection between the application andthe database modified, but am really not sure exactly what to first andthe correct way to go about it. The application is a simple productconfigurator. There's not a lot of data and it's not a very complexdatabase.Thanks in advance. If you'd like, please copy responses tolcifers(AT)yahoo.com (AT) = @TIA.Cheers.- Luther

I am migrating my database from Access to MS SQL. I successfully migrated most of the Tables but I am going through a hellish time with queries/views
Can somwone tell me how to convert this query from Access to MS SQL:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT Manage_Pre_Award.A_ID, Manage_Pre_Award.Event_Name, Manage_Pre_Award.Plan_Date, Manage_Pre_Award.Actual_date, Manage_Pre_Award.Rev_Date, IIf([actual_date] Is Not Null,[actual_date],IIf([rev_date] Is Not Null,[rev_date],IIf([plan_date] Is Not Null,[plan_date],Null))) AS workdate,
FROM Manage_Pre_Award
WHERE (((Manage_Pre_Award.Rev_Date) Is Not Null)) OR (((Manage_Pre_Award.Actual_date) Is Not Null)) OR (((Manage_Pre_Award.Plan_Date) Is Not Null));
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have already tried this but get:
The Query Designer does not support the CASE SQL construct.
SELECT Manage_Pre_Award.A_ID, Manage_Pre_Award.Event_Name, Manage_Pre_Award.Plan_Date, Manage_Pre_Award.Actual_date,
Manage_Pre_Award.Rev_Date,
CASE WORKDATE
WHEN [actual_date] IS NOT NULL THEN [actual_date]
WHEN [actual_date] IS NULL AND [rev_date] IS NOT NULL THEN [rev_date] ] ELSE [plan_date]
END AS WORKDATE
FROM Manage_Pre_Award
WHERE (((Manage_Pre_Award.Rev_Date) IS NOT NULL)) OR
(((Manage_Pre_Award.Actual_date) IS NOT NULL))OR (((Manage_Pre_Award.Plan_Date) IS NOT NULL));

We have a huge Access database located on a server, but now it is going very slow due to the transport of Mb file to the clients.
We could export the tables to a SQL server and attach the tables to the access clients.
So the question is, will access still treat the tables as it use to or could we expect access SQL querys to request the sql server as normal. Will access process the query on the client side?
Thanks

The company i am working for has been using an Access database for purchasing and inventory. this has become to small/dangerous due to the number of records and frequent 'database needs repair' errors. I am trying to migrate the database to a sql server w/ access front end and am runing into problems with most of the VB proceedures that are built into the database. the most common at the moment is a 'Write Conflict' error saying someone else changed the record i am editing. i know this can't be the case becasue i am working on this in an isolated environment. I have traced it to a VB script that changes a field from 'Entering' to 'Pending' (text field) on the click of the 'new record' button. any ideas?

Hi there,
I am totally new at SQL/SQL express.I have downloaded the sQL express server and wanted to know how i can go about exporting my tables which i created using MS access into SQL express.
Also my application is currently working by using Access and ASP...what will be the changes i would need to incorporate in my code other than the queries and Data connection string.
How would the data connection string in SQL look like if i am using it in my asp code?
Any help or useful links would be a very good help!
thanks in advance

Hi,I have developed an application using VB 6 (SP 5), MS Access 2000 andCrystal Reports 9. I migrated from from access to SQl Server 2000.This wasn't a problem as i could import all the tables to SQL Server.Also, i could make VB6 talk to SQl Server.The problem arsies when i run my application. The sql syntax foraccess seems to be different than that for SQL Server. A simpleexample being: In access boolean datatype is true/false ,whereas inSQL Server the boolean equivalent is bit (numerical 1 or 0). Thesekind of issues are causing problems and most queries don't run.Would i need to go and change all the queries in accordance with SQlServer syntax ,which would be very time consuming or is there anyfunction which will convert the access datatype into its equivalentSQl Server datatype??Any input/thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.ThanksJatin

Hey guys, I had purchased a program that generates full operational asp.net pages from an access db. I was unfamiliar with the language, and so that was the route I took. After disecting it and studying I've learned a bit and made it work in my environment. However, I now need to migrate everything over to mssql. I got the db portion down and now I'm trying to modify my scripts to point to a sql db rather than an access db. I thought it was going to be relatively simple but it's proving to be quite a challenge for me.Was wondering if anyone could check my work.
The original access driven page had the following connection strings.vb page had [ public strConn as string="PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=" & Server.MapPath("../") & "/db/db.mdb"end class]and in my aspx. pages I hadAccessDataSourceControl1.selectcommand="SELECT * FROM table "AccessDataSourceControl1.ConnectionString = strConn
My new page now has the following.I got rid of the .vb page and put this in.
Dim myConnection as New SqlConnection("Server=mysqlserver;Database=db;UID=myusername;PWD=my pw;")
Const strSQL as String ="SELECT * FROM table"
Dim myCommand as New SqlCommand(strSQL, myConnection)
further down I have a wmx data grid. I'm assuming I don't need to touch that but there is a line that has,
<wmx:AccessDataSourceControl id="AccessDataSourceControl1" runat="server" ></wmx:AccessDataSourceControl>
and I don't know what the equivilant of that is. I know its pointing to the accessdatasoucrcontrol1 that has the select command, but what would be the equivilant ofwmx:accessdatasourcecontrol?Also, is this the way to go? by that i mean, should I just rescript everything? Also,
1) Am I connecting to the sql db properly? 2) some sites say I have to put a connection string in the web.config file, is that true?3) Does any one have any references I can goto, I'm having some trouble finding a good article that lays down exactly what needs to go where in an sql asp.net environment.
Thanks guys.

Hi all,
We have access database with lots of data in it. I want to move all the dat to the new database which has completely differenet database structure (e.g different tables, different rows).
What I was thinking is that there are 2 ways. one is manually, which will take long tome probably, and the other is to rum queries that will move the data from access to the new sql express. The question is how to that. I know that I used onw CSV files exported for ms access, but now the queries will be much more complex and I will use more then one table for te query.
How can I query from 2 different databases, which from one I read data(access), and from the other I write data (express)?
Thanks alot.

When I try to migrate a database on a SQL Server 2000 server to a SQL Server 2005 server with the Copy Database Wizard of the SQL Server Management Studio, I'm confronted with the following problem;
Performing operation...
- Add log for package (Success)
- Add task for transferring database objects (Success)
- Create package (Success)
- Start SQL Server Agent Job (Success)
- Execute SQL Server Agent Job (Error)
Messages
* The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details. (Copy Database Wizard)
When I take a look at 'Event viewer' on the SQL 2005 server, the following error is displayed;
InnerException-->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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I already enabled the MSSQLSERVER network configuration protocols (TCP/IP and Named Pipes ).
How do I solve this problem?

I've developed a website and it's hosted by a hosting company. Lately i've registered a new domain with a new virtual hosting account. I've transfered my web files succesfully. But migrating the sql server failed for a couple of times now. My database containes many tables with many products. My hosting provides doesn't give me the opportuniy to restore my backup which i've backuped from my old server. First I tried to use the import and export tool of sql server 2005. This was very easy and it succeeded. But this tool only migrates the tables and the views. All the common stored procedures of asp.net membership are not exported. So I can't login at the moment. I've tried to generate a sql script with all the stored procedures with sql server management studio. But If i want to run this script on my new db, it fails with various errors. I tried to use the aspnet_regsql tool to create all the membership tables and stored procedures. If this succeeds, I can import and export my old db to the new one. But i'm getting a error while trying to use the aspnet_regsql tool. The error number is 290 and the error is: How can I fix this? Er is een fout opgetreden bij het uitvoeren van het SQL-bestand InstallMembership.sql.

Hello!
We are planning migrating to different server.
I know the answers how to migrate all jobs and DTS packages.
But the only question I have is "How to migrate logins and passwords?"
What is the best way to transfer logins?
Can't you just export syslogins table into text file and then import it into the new server?
Thank you

I have another question regarding migration process to diffrent SQL Server.
Last time when I did migration I didn't restore system databases (master in particular).
I only restored user databases and of course I've got login errors such
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) Error 15023: User or role '%s' already exists in the current database.
I just used sp_change_users_login to fix those orphans.
I've read articles in MS knowledge base and not quite sure is this a good idea to restore master database prior to restoring all user databases on the new server in order to keep all logins?
I'll try to use recommended article for transfering logins with password instead of restoring master database from backup
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q246/1/33.ASP
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I am migrating MS SQL Server 6.5 databases to a new server and wanted to create the data & log devices differently than they are on the old box. My dbcc checks are giving me 2558 errors because my devices weren't built the same size in the same order. I thought if I didn't copy the master, I didn't have to rebuild the database exactly the same. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to rebuild different device sizes and do a successful restore ? Thanks in advance !

I have a program that uses ADO to read/write to/from an Oracle back-end database. I'm hoping that given the underlying schema is the same, I can simply change the database driver I'm using and use a SQL Server database instead. Has anyone migrated an application using ADO from Oracle to SQL ? Are there any issues/problems/tips that I should be aware of ?
Thanks in advance..

The Setup: I'm moving a SQL Server 7 Database from a SQL Server sp'd somewhere between 3 and 4 (7.00.1028) to a SQL Server without any service packs. The old machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2400 (about 3 years old) and the new machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2650 with dual gigabit nics (and I have them teamed). Both machines run Windows 2000 Server. Mostly default installation on both the OS and SQL Server.
The Problem: When I restore the database to the new server (and resolve the orphaned login issues, etc.) the server hangs unbelievably. Most of my users can't even connect, much less work in their vb apps. I can ping the machine, but can't run the simplest T-SQL against it.
Any ideas?
Help would be greatly appreaciated.

Hope somebody can help a novice, so I can impress my boss.
I've got to move a database to a new server and I'm trying to use Gregory A Larsen's sp_help_revlogin script http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/2228611.
It works perfectly for all users, but I want to limit it to one database by using his suggestion shown on that page:
SELECT sid, name, xstatus, password FROM master..sysxlogins
Your_db..sysusers b on a.sid = b.sid
WHERE srvid IS NULL AND name <> 'sa'
However, when I make the changes, so it looks like this:
SELECT sid, name, xstatus, password FROM master..sysxlogins a join
int_test..sysusers b on a.sid = b.sid
WHERE srvid IS NULL AND name <> 'sa'
I get this error when I try to run it:
Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12
Ambiguous column name 'sid'.
Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12
Ambiguous column name 'name'.
Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12
Ambiguous column name 'password'.
Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12
Ambiguous column name 'name'.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong.
The database that I want to limit the script/procedure to is called int_test on the same server, and I've checked that the table sysusers does exist, and that it has a column called name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
