I got a big Access file (1 400 tables) to convert to SQL and I would
like to be provided with some automated tools, except upsizing wizard
and DTS, to convert it on my own.
I got a lot of forms and query to convert too.
Can someday provide me with at least one tool name ?
Please someone tell me, is it possbile to run Reporting service in MS-Access environment? I mean to say i have to use MS-Access as user interface to design and generate report (instead of Visual studio IDE) and the Sql server 2005 should be Report Server. If it is possible then how can i implement it.
I have a problem at the company I work for. For historic reasons many developers and users know the sa passwords for SQL. Obviously this is not a good situtation to be in. Now the obvious answer it to just change this but for reasons unknown to sanity half of our applications are hardcoded to use sa passwords.
Now as a DBA coming into this this puts me in a tricky position as its impossible for me to control who is doing what etc. Is it possible to put triggers or something to monitor logins which will deny access to anyone accessing via the sa password not through an application. Ie if an application calls then the sa will have to be allowed but if a user using Query Analyser for example tries to use sa then they are denied access ?
Long term all these passwords are going to change but it the short term I still need to create some control on the system. Anyone have any thoughts ?
I'm a relative newbie to SQL Server so pardon me if this is dumb. However....
Microsoft provides a visual database tool for designing a query. The only way I know of firing up this utility is from EM. To get to it you must drill down to the table level and say "Open Table...Query" to get to it. Is there an easier way to get to this? Or am I missing something? Doesn't it make sense that when you are in Query Analyzer that you should be able to easily go into the Visual Query Designer since that's all your doing in QA is designing queries??? A toolbar button would be nice. Maybe I haven't worked with it enough and there is a way. Any help is appreciated. -Mike
I am currently running sql 2005 express on a W2k3 server, 4G ram. I would also like to install a named instance of SQL 2005 Developer Edition on this machine. Is this ok to do? I am assuming that I can access all of the instances through the SQL Server Management Studio, is that correct?

Hi,We have several Access database that we would over time plan to convertto SQL. I am looking for a tool that works better than the upsizewizard in helping with the transition - I am looking for somethingreliable yet reasonably priced.Thanks in advance for all your helpKR

I have trying to access a 2nd SQL Server instances running on my WHS 2011 server from my Windows 8.1 Pro client.
The first SQL Server instance I installed is SQL Server 2014 Developer. This has been in place for many months and access from my client pc is not a problem. The Developer instance was installed using standard settings so uses TCP port 1433 and I have verified this by checking the firewall rules. This instance name is <SERVERNAME>
As I want to host a personal website on my server I installed SQL Server 2014 Express as a 2nd instance on my WHS 2011 box for website database purposes. After this installation both instances are accessible via Management Console on the WHS 2011 box.Â
The second instance is named as <SERVERNAME>SQLEXPRESS.
However, I am unable to access the SQLEXPRESS instance using Management Console on my client pc. I know it is a firewall issue as when I turn off the firewall on the WHS 2011 box I can connect successfully. The errors reported have resulted in my trying many things to resolve the problem but none have worked, e.g.
Use the default SQLEXPRESS instance to listen on all TCP ports (default installation option). I checked the necessary firewall rules were set up correctly and they were, i.e. UDP ANY and TCP ANY for the SQLEXPRESS sqlservr.exe file.
Change the default SQLEXPRESS instance to list on a specific TCP port, e.g. 19344
Create an ALIAS for the SQLEXPRESS installation
The instance is definitely set up for Remote Access and is not Hidden.
Are there any other firewall rules I need to apply?
I would like to be able to view the complete SQL command that is sent from a Microsoft Access query which has linked SQL Server tables through ODBC, and the query also has some VBA functions manipulating and filtering data.I tried using the SQL Profiler to view the sql command send to SQL Server but all I see is the simple query format and some of the fields. I don't see the fields that have a VBA function such as trim(fieldname) etc in the column. And If I use a VBA fucntion in the Criteria then nothing shows up in SQL Profiled under the TextData column.How can I see the complete SQL command sent to SQL Server?

I am currently in the process of writing an application to convert an Access database to SQL. Basically, I have created an odbc link in access and then I transfer the data from the access table to the linked table.
The problem is where I have to transfer the Identity keys. I can transfer all the data but the keys. They will auto increment. I tried using INSERT_IDENTITY tablename ON but it just returns an error mosty of the time. I have gotten it to transfer once or twice by stepping through.
Here is the basic code:
The code that causes everything to error is commented out.
Private Sub CopySQLRecordSet(ByVal stTableName As String, _ Optional ByVal blIdentity As Boolean = True, _ Optional ByVal stSearch As String = "") Dim cat As ADOX.Catalog Dim tbl As ADOX.Table Set cat = New ADOX.Catalog Set tbl = New ADOX.Table Dim adoCommand As New ADODB.Command, stCommand As String Dim adoSQLCommand As New ADODB.Command Dim errorString As String

Who convert access dba to ms sql 2000 standard. I try with access conversion, but some buttons commands and rules don´t work. The dba contains tabs, forms, rel´s, macros, modules and relations with tabs and examination images. It´s possible convert everything without damage or transform this itens? The dba contains critical information about identification and personal clinic story about patients, but the access capacity it´s out (2GB) and i need to expand this dba.
I have some urgency to this problem, it´s depends to buy a windows 2008 server and mssql server 2008.
Hello does anyone know how to convert this access code to sql. Also is there a program out there that will do it for you.
IIf([Ceridian]![UnionIndicator]="U" And [YearsService]>=3,[HealthBenefits]![medplan.Bi-WeeklyURBio-Rad]*26,[HealthBenefits]![medplan.Bi-WeeklyBio-Rad]*26) AS MedicalCostER, IIf([Ceridian]![UnionIndicator]="U" And [YearsService]>=3,[medplan]![Bi-WeeklyUREE]*26,[medplan]![Bi-WeeklyEE]*26) AS MEdicalCostEE
I am being asked to convert this access query into sql server 2000. Access query SELECT Left(Trim([Notes_Primary_Key]),InStr(Trim([Notes_Primary_Key])," ")) AS PcnPID, Trim([Notes_Secondary_Key]) AS PcnTicketNum FROM tri_offnotes;
I'm new to SQL and am not familiar with which function replaces the InStr access function.
I have an Access database that used to produce a mass of Performance Indicators from Access tables. The data is now held on SQL Server and I run the Access queries from the SQL tables. I wouldlike to move all the queries over to SQL but not sure if I can do that. Here's an example of one of the queries (the SQL view)
SELECT tblCalls.* FROM tblCalls WHERE (((tblCalls.Call_date)>=[Forms]![ReportParams]![SDate] And (tblCalls.Call_date)<=[Forms]![ReportParams]![EDate]) AND ((tblCalls.NotAccepted)=False) AND ((tblCalls.Completed_time) Is Not Null) AND ((tblCalls.Category)="fly tipping"));
SELECT Month([Call_date]) AS Mnth, DateSerial(Year([Call_date]),Int((Month([Call_date])-1)/3)*3+4,0) AS Qtr, Sum(Work_Days([Call_date],[Completed_time])) AS RespTime, Sum(1) AS Count, Sum(Work_Days([Call_date],[Completed_time]))/[Count] AS AvgTime FROM qryFlyTippingStatsSummary1 GROUP BY Month([Call_date]), DateSerial(Year([Call_date]),Int((Month([Call_date])-1)/3)*3+4,0) ORDER BY Month([Call_date]), DateSerial(Year([Call_date]),Int((Month([Call_date])-1)/3)*3+4,0);
I'm going crazy trying to convert an Access Function to SQL.From what I've read, it has to be done as a stored procedure.I'm trying to take a field that is "minutes.seconds" and convert it to minutes.This is what I have in Access:Function ConvertToTime (myAnswer As Variant)Dim myMinutesmyMinutes-(((((myAnswer * 100)Mod 100/100/0.6)+(CInt(myAnswer-0.4))))ConvertToTime =(myMinutes)End FunctionWhen I tried to modify it in SQL:CREATE PROCEDURE [OWNER].[PROCEDURE NAME] AS ConvertToTimeFunction ConvertToTime(myAnswer As Variant)Dim myMinutesmyMinutes = (((((myAnswer * 100)Mod 100)/100/0.6)+9CInt(myAnswer-0.4))))ConvertToTime=(myMinutes)EndI get an error after ConverToTime.
First off, I apologise if this is classed as off topic as it's concerning access but I couldn't see another forum that was better suited for this question.
I'm trying to run this query in Access. I designed it in SQL Management Studio with a test database that I set up and it runs fine. However, when I tried to run it in access I get a syntax error on the subquery bit. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
UPDATE tblInvoice SET tblInvoice.PeriodID = (SELECT p.PeriodID FROM tblPeriod p INNER JOIN tblInvoice i ON i.TransDate BETWEEN p.PeriodStartDate AND p.PeriodEndDate WHERE i.InvoiceID = tblInvoice.InvoiceID)

I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise under Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise. My current backup strategy uses T-SQL jobs run by SQL Agent (writes out *.bak files) and then I have an Integration Services job that copies the *.bak files to our NAS device. I have performed a restore without issue. The jobs are all automated every four hours via SQL Agent. Is this a sound strategy or are there additional benefits to using 3rd party tools? If so, what are the advantages and which tool provides them?
