Need Help In Migrating From Access To SQL Express
Feb 21, 2007
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 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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

We are using .Net Framework 2.0. Does it have anything to do with lowering down the performance ?

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 have an application using Express with a smallish user base that is moving to CE in version 2.
Is there some easy way I can move their databases to CE? They don't want to lose their history, and I don't blame them.
I'll code something if I have to, but I would rather do something administratively.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi,
Recently we have migrated our application from MSDE 2000 to SQL Server Express 2005(SP 1). This has significantly reduced the performance of our Windows.NET application which is developed using C#.
For example : While logging in to the application two databases are being attached.
Time taken in MSDE: 16 secs
Time taken in SQL Server Express 2005 : 58 secs
Also note performance is degraded for normal screens where data is retrived from database using inline queries.
Questions:
1) Is there any special(optimum) configuration(installation parameters) while installing the SQL Server Express 2005 setup?
2) Is there any query optimization to be done w.r.t SQL Server Express 2005 ?
We highly appreciate any help towards resolving the above problem.
Regards,
Sasi

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.
Regards,
prad.nair

Looking for help in diagnosing this error:
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition along with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Now here's what I did:
Rather than use the Database Explorer within VB2005 EE to create my database, I thought I would try creating my database externally using the downloadable "SQL Server Management Studio Express" tool. (I figured that if I had a stable data model for my database, I could side-step the copying/overwriting issues that come with creating a database as part of a VB solution.)
So having gotten my database setup and populated with some sample data, I am now trying to connect to it from Visual Basic. In VB (in the context of working on a VB Solution), I do the following:
Select Add New Data Source... from the Data menu to bring up the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Choose "Database" for the data source type and click Next.
Click "New Connection..." to bring up the Add Connection dialogue.
For data source I choose "Microsoft SQL Server Database File", with ".NET Framework Data Provider..." as the data provider.
Navigate to my existing database file (in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" folder).
Use Windows Authentication.
When I click "Test Connection" or just click "OK", i get the Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition error shown at the top of this message.
Is this occuring because I'm trying to access my database as an .MDF file rather than through Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? If this is the case, is there any way that I can tell VB2005 EE to use Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? Is this a fundamental limitation of VB2005 EE?
Thanks in advance to the guru who is able to explain this to me...

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?

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

Hi,
I want to move my sql express DB to a sql 2005 server located at a service provider. I can detach or back, but I am limited on attaching or restoring the DB because the servers are on two limted/seperated networks.
Is scripting an idea? I have SQL manager 2005 running.

I need to find a program that I can change my MS Access databases into SQL databases. My sites on the server are getting to many visitors and access is crashing the server. So I need to find a fast program that can covert a access database into SQL very quickly. I have not found one out there yet so any direction would help. I tried using the upsizing in access and that does not work on my machine so I would like a stand alone program.
Thanks for the help

i have an older asp web application (not .net) which connects to an access database and reads tables. the .mdb file resides on the web server, along with the asp page. the access db is going away, and the tables have been re-created in SQL express. I need to figure out how to connect and read the tables from either the existing non dot.net asp application, or a new php application.
I have read the post
FAQ: How to connect to SQL Express from "downlevel clients"(Access 2003, VS 2003, VB 6, etc(basically anything that is not using .Net 2.0 or the new SQL Native Client))some more fundamental questions are:
1) can I upload the the SQL express MDF file to the IIS server, and connect to it as a stand-alone file (like i could with the access mdb file)? *** note: SQL express NOT installed on this server, just the standalone mdf file uploaded)
1)a) if yes, what additional code will i need? i am unsuccessful in using the following connection string
set conntemp=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=sonnys_inventory.mdf"
conntemp.Open connectionString
1)b) if no - i need to install SQL express on the IIS server. do i then upload the mdf file to the server and "attach" it through the SQL management program and follow directions in the post mentioned above?
thanks for any help.

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?
