Hi,
We are planning to migrate data from access to sqlserver. I have good knowledge on sql server...but never used access to migrate. Can anyone help me with the basics to be kept in mind and methods and errors you get in migrateing data.If possible explain in detail and what is to be done while migrating data.....thank you in advance.And its urgent please.
I want to migrate my Access XP database to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The Start Menu does not display any migration assistant in SQL Server 2005 Express menu list.
How to migrate it?
I tried various ways to migrate an access 2003 database with 1 table to
sql Express 2005 Edition without success, I can only find the resulted
sql database in Sql Server Express Edition 2005 without data.
Please advise if any help.
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?
Hi,
I need to migrate my access database to SQL2000 Server. I have three tables in my access database. In each table have 3000-6000 records.
So how to put all these records in to sql2000 server tables.
The table structure in Access database and sql2000 database are same.
Here core work is just insert all these 3000 - 6000 records (rows) from Access database to sql2000 database
Thanks in Advance!!
With regards

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
View 9 Replies View RelatedFirst 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
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 !

If I plan to use to restore database option, should I restore all user database first, then the system databases(master, msdb) or should I restore the system database first and the user databases second??

i am migrating data and schema from oracle server to sql server., when i try to do the dts it gives me an error saying could not resolve tnsnames.ora. iam not sure what is the problem.
My oracle server host is dbserver.hari.com.edu
and its name is Prod (name of the machine)
i tried both it still gives me the same error., but when i install an oracle client on the machine and configure the same it is working great.
My question is, is it necessary to install oracle client to migrate database from oracle to sql server. If not how do i do the same...what is the process to do it. since this is a prodction machine we don't want more of applications running on the same machine.
Your help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I just wanted to know what the easiest way would be to migrate a SQL Server 2012 database to Oracle?
Apart from the tables and views, the database also uses a number of stored procedures and functions which will also need to be migrated over onto Oracle.
I guess the problem with generating scripts for the database (right clicking database > tasks > generate scripts) is that the TSQL scripts will not run in Oracle which uses PSQL? Is this correct?
I have also considered using the import/export wizard. Do I need to install a feature to use this to export to Oracle?
Hi all,

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 am migrating a database TESTDB from SQL 2008R2 to a new server running SQL Server 2012.
Management has decided the current sql users should have "better" user names. So the login and username "BadUsername" on the old server should be called "GoodUserName". Goodusername should have the same permissions as Badusername.
I have now restored a backup from the old server to the new server.
I used the following script for creating the login:
CREATE LOGIN [GoodUserName] WITH PASSWORD=N'difficultpassword', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
Then I run the following script:
ALTER USER Badusername WITH LOGIN = GoodUserName, NAME = GoodUserName
But the results are not what I wanted. I now have two database users: Badusername and GoodUserName. I would have preferred if BadUserName was "replaced" by GoodUserName, but it won't be a problem if I have to delete badusername manually. Worser is that GoodUserName have NOT "inherited" any permissions from Badusername.
Is there an easy way to transfer permissions or do I need to loop through the permissions of badusername and apply those to badusername?
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));
Hi guys, its been awhile. I inherited a database thats an MDB and I need to get it on to sql server but I am having problem with this query, can anyone help please. Its suppose to give you the month and year when you click on it, you just put that in and up come the results on a query or report, now I have something similar to this but the code is very different.
SELECT Format$([Main Table].Date,'mmmm yyyy') AS [Date By Month], [Main Table].[Action Type], Sum([Main Table].[Action Type]) AS [Main Table_Action Type]
FROM [Action Type] INNER JOIN [Main Table] ON [Action Type].ID = [Main Table].[Action Type]
GROUP BY Format$([Main Table].Date,'mmmm yyyy'), [Main Table].[Action Type]
HAVING (((Format$([Main Table].[Date],'mmmm yyyy'))=[Enter the month and the Year]));
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

i am migrating one database from SQL Server 2008 where I have around 20 databases to SQLServer 2012. To migrate the login I was thinking about to use SP_Help <g class="gr_ gr_114 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="114" id="114">revlogin</g> store procedure but now what I believe is this SP scripts out whole server level login and I don't need all the logins in the server except related to the database that I am migrating to.

best way to migrate logins only related to the specific database to the new server.
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?
Access 2000/2003, SQL server 2000
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

I've a database in Access 2003 that I want to migrate to SQL CE since Pocket Access is no longer supported.
I've researched extensively this issue to no avail.
Even tried to use the ADS but it's not feasible,
Please, any help is welcomed!
Hi there
I am new to SQL Server, but the current project that I am working on has the following requirement:-
1) Migrate the application (a servlet based web application on Apache Tomcat) from Solaris to Wintel
2) Migrate the supporting database from SQL Server 2000 to Sql Server 2005
3) Get IIS to communicate with Tomcat for serving servlet/jsp etc to the client
Though I successfully completed item 1 above, am stuck at item 2. Details are below
Actions taken for item 2
A. Installed MS 2005
B. Created new database in MS 2005 (logged in as user 'sa')
C. Generated SQL scripts (such as create table table_A etc) from existing MS 2000
D. Genearted SQL scripts (such as insert into table_A etc) from existing MS 2000
E. Created new schema in MS 2005
F. Ran scripts C & D in the new schema. All tables are records populated.
G. Obtained new JDBC driver and test run to see if connection is working fine, and it worked. Even ran an sql statment
Code Block[select count(*) from sa.table_A]
and got appropriate response.
H. When I made the application to talk to this new database (which is a copy of Production from step C, D above), it's behaving as though it cannot find the record.
I. When I further debugged, I realised that the web application is excuting queries without mentioning the schema. For eg.
Code Block[Select firstName, lastName from table_A]
Or rather it assumes that the user connecting to database is same as the schema name.
J. To further ascertain my point, I ran the query
Code Block[Select firstName, lastName from sa.table_A]
and it worked!
Now the real problem is that I cannot modify the existing code to append a schema name and this approach is rather not recommended best practise.
I tried to match the user name with the schema name, even made this schema as default to the user. But still not finding any luck.
I request all you experts out there to help me out with this problem.

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
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey 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.
I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.

I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?

I have restored a database that was held on the SQL Server 2000 onto SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
All the stored procedures have been restored as well but when I try to modify it and then save it, it will save it as '.sql' in a folder that I can choose but how wld that wrk? Can't I save it as a stored procedure like on SQL Server 2000?
I'm new to SQL Server 2005 so any response will be highly appreciated.

I'm looking for advice/caveats about how to convert/export information on AS database / cube roles. The reason why is because we have to move the server into different windows domain and all the roles reference windows accounts in the old domain. Using the MS SQL 2000 version.
Thanks in advance.
