Porting Access Database
Nov 21, 2006
I am still pursuing my studies. I have been recently assigned a project for building Database Application for my college's library. And there was no better option to implement it with VB.NET 2.0 & SQL Server 2005.
VB.NET 2005 & SQL Server Express 2005 are the resources at my disposal.
The problem is that the college already has a Library Management System in place, built in VB6.0 with Access. I have been asked to pepare the application from scratch. But the database obviously cannot be left out.
Now, can anyone suggest me an efficient way to port the Access database to SQL Server express. Also, the databse has been desinged poorly & is not properly normalized.
Can I port it to SQL Server Express with some slight modifications to its structure without any loss of data??????

I have a MS Access DB that needs to be moved to SQL Server. I have no clue how to do this or even what the issues and considerations are.
Can anyone provide a link to any resources where I can educate myself? Or offer any advice or "lessons learned".
I anticipate using the same Access DB as a front end since the forms are all set up as we like.
Thanks in advance

I have started a new site using a CMS which can be either Access or MS SQL. For ease of install and cost factors the site is currently running as an Access dbase driven site. If traffic numbers and content grow and Access dbase blows out to, lets say 500meg will I see a major degradation in performance and will it be possible at a later data to somehow export the Access dbase data into MS SQL dbase format. I'm assuming I'd have to engage a fairly competent developer but before I get into the trap of growing a large site, I'd like confirmation that I'd be able to extract all of the data and get it into a more robust solution as and when required. phew!

My database knowledge are with MySql and Oracle, but recently I was asked to evaluate the migration of an existing (and maybe more) from ms access to sql server. My question is simple, if all of the sql are hard coded into the code ... how well this sql will work, I mean is the sql between access and sql server are plug'n'play ? However in any case, I always rewiew all of the sql.

We rewrote one of our legacy C#/asp.net applications that accesses a sql server 2000 database. The new database schema looks very similar to the old one. The major difference is that some of the atributes in the database tables are different. But pretty much we are using the same tables, plus or minus a few.
We need to import the old data into the new database. I have never had to undertake this type of thing before as I am not a DBA, but a developer. I feel a little scared about this whole process. My boss is open to us hiring a contractor to help with the process.
My biggest concern is the referential integrity of the database.
Can someone help me out. Does this sound like something that can be easily done or should I ask for some help.

Can anyone help me in this issue:
How do we replicate database changes (like tables) from QA to production without losing Production data.
We already tried using the DTS export but it is dropping the destination tables before export which will result in data loss in the destination database.

Hi all,
I'm working on porting a solution running under WM 5 Pocket PC to Win32 but I got some problems with type definitions like CEOID, CEGUID... I saw that these types are defined in windbase.h (EDB definition added to preprocessors) ) which includes types and definitions usefull for database managment. Anyway this header file is not present in C:Program FilesMicrosoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2Include, so I was wondering which is the header file I can use instead of it. Thanks

Hey everyone - I get the following error when I try to open up a DTS package that I ported from one machine to another as a file. The error is:
Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Error Description: The parameter is incorrect.
Does anyone know what this error is and how to get the package to open? I really don't want to have to rewrite the package if I can avoid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a situation where I have an app that uses a sql server (msde)database. The app will be used in environments where no one should beable to manipulate the data except the developers (app admins) - noteven site database admins. When the application and msde is installed,a default instance of the database gets attached to msde or built byscript. by default, a built in server acct and approle acct exist tosecure the data accordingly with passwords concealed. What can be doneto keep someone from copying the mdf and ldf files to another machinewhere they have admin rights and manipulating data?Thanks.

1) In several tables, in my MySQL version, I created columns usingsomething like the following:`ab_timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on updateCURRENT_TIMESTAMP,This allowed me to ensure that when a record is either added or edited,the value in the field is set to the current date and time. I.E.,ab_timestamp is given the current date and time when a record iscreated, and then it is updated to the date and time at which therecord is updated. I learned the hard way that MS SQL does not like"on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP". So, it looks like MS SQL will allow meto initialize ab_timestamp to the current date and time, but notautomatically update it to the date and time at which the record isupdated. I have plenty of code to port that depends on the behavioursupported by MySQL. DO I have to modify all that code, or is there away to get MS SQL to provide it? (Yes, I know 'timestamp' isdeprecated in MS SQL and that I should use datetime instead, and infact have already done so.)2) I began with a single SQL script that creates all the tables, views,functions and triggers the database needs. On trying to get MS SQL toaccept it, I encountered a number of error messages saying that CREATEFUNCTION and CREATE VIEW need to be the first statement in a script.Why? I know I can work around this odd constraint by putting eachfunction and view (and IIRC trigger) into its own script, but thatseems like a make work effort imposed for some unknown reason by MSSQL, unless there is another way to get around it.3) I see, in the documentation for CREATE FUNCTION, functions are notallowed to use a timestamp for either a parameter or a return value.This is in reference to a pair of scalar functions I am using whichneed to manipulate date and time values. For the purpose ofclarification, is this documentation refering to all date/time datatypes, or only the deprecated timestamp type? As examples, considerone function that needs to return the most recent date in a date columnin a specific table, or another function that computes a date from adate and an offset (e.g. if called with the value returned by the firstfunction as the first argument and '-7' as the second, returns the dateof the day that is a week earlier than that date). These two functionsare frequently used in the SQL code I'm trying to port and I reallydon't want to complicate so many of those statements if I don't haveto.ThanksTed

Hi,
I'm using connection managers for all the connections i have in my packages in one project. However, if i change from one environment to another, i have to go to each connection manager in each package just to set the connection.
is there a faster way to change them like a configuration file lookup or something?

We have been asked to look into using stored procedures with SQL Server 7.0 as a way to speed up a clients site. 99% of all the articles I have read along with all the books all say Stored Procedure should be used whenever possible as opposed to putting the SQL in your ASP script. However one of my colleagues has been speaking to Microsoft and they said that that they were surprised that our client wanted to use Stored Procedures as this was the old method of database access and that now he should really consider using COM objects for data access as itis much faster. Has anyone got any views on this or know of any good aticles regarding this matter ?

Hi All,
I have problems while using the Linked Server in MS SQL Server 2000 for data porting.
The Scenario :
I have about 900 hundred tables created in SQL Server database. These tables are freshly created and has no records.
I have created a Linked Server with a DSN connecting to a Sybase database from which the data has to be ported to the newly created tables in SQL Server.
The database creation as well as data porting is done by a Delphi application by executing the scripts in several .sql files.
I have shown an example script below which does the data porting.
INSERT INTO TEST_DATA (COL1,COL2,COL3)
SELECT COL1,COL2,COL3 FROM [LINK_SYBASEDB]..[DBA].[TEST_DATA]
The Issue :
I often get the below error which stops the data porting process ( the error is logged in the Errorlog by the Delphi application )
D:DBPortTEST_DATA.SQL
[OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed]
NOTE : This error is NOT COMING CONSISTENTLY.Often I get this error and sometimes all the data is ported without this error.
It will be great if any of you can help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance !!!
regards,
Hari Haran Arulmozhi

Understand, I have developed a number of applications using RDBMS,including MySQL, PostgreSQL and MS Access, but this is my firstexperience with MS SQL. I'd bet my bottom dollar that MS SQL supportswhat I need, but I just haven't found where it is explained in anydetail in the documentation I have. The pages I have found strike meas a little too terse for my needs.In MySQL, I used statements like:PRIMARY KEY (`ic_contact_id`),KEY `ic_planner_id_k_tmp` (`ic_rep_code`)at the end of the SQL statement that creates a table. The primary keyhad to be unique but the other did not. Defining the non-unique keypaid huge dividends in the performance of certain queries, sometimesleading to orders of magnitude improvement compared to when the KEY wasnot defined (a few seconds vs tens of minutes). In joins, these keysrelate to primary keys in other tables that function as lookup tables.Otherwise, their primary role is for aggregation functions (max, min,&c.) in relation to group by clauses. The performance improvementsfrom having the KEYs defined are greatest in the latter.I have learned the hard way that MS SQL seems to like my primary keyclauses but not my KEY clauses. I don't know, and at present don'tcare, if this is because MySQL supports my KEYs as an extension to thestandard, or if it is a matter of the two RDBMS interpreting thestandard differently, or something else. What I need to know right nowis how do I obtain in MS SQL the same benefit as the MySQL KEY providedto me.A second question is that, in studying the documentation for the createtable statement, I saw reference to clustered vs non-clustered keys (atleast I assume they relate to keys since they immediately follow, andare indented from, the primary key and unique keywords). What exactlyis clustered and why? BTW, my primary understanding of "clustering"derives from work with numerical taxonomy and biogeography, but I'dwager that is something completely different from any clustering donein an RDBMS.I'll appreciate any clarification you can provide.Thanks,Ted

Here is one such function:CREATE FUNCTION my_max_market_date () RETURNS datetimeBEGINDECLARE @mmmd AS datetime;SELECT max(h_market_date) INTO @mmmd FROM holdings_tmp;RETURN @mmmd;ENDOne change I had to make, relative to what I had working in MySQL, wasto insert 'AS' between my variable and its type. Without 'AS', MS SQLinsisted in telling me that datetime is not valid for a cursor; and Iam not using a cursor here. The purpose of this function is tosimplify a number of SQL statements that depend on obtaining the mostrecent datetime value in column h_market_date in the holdings_tmptable.The present problem is that MS SQL doesn't seem to want to allow me toplace that value in my variable '@mmmd'. I could do this easily inMySQL. Why is MS SQL giving me grief over something that should be sosimple. I have not yet found anything in the documentation for SELECTthat could explain what's wrong here. :-(Any ideas?ThanksTed

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 need to determine the following about the current authenticated Windows domain user who is trying to access a SQL Server via a trusted connection.
1 Has the current user been granted login access to the trusted SQL Server?
2 Has the current user been granted access to a specific database?
3 Is the current user a member of a specific database role such as (DB_ROLE_ADMINISTRATORS)?
Thanks,

I developed a database with Access 2003 and everything was working good until my tech came in and reformated my hard drive and install a new Ghost image that met our company standards.
Now I cannot go in and make any changes to any of the tables, queries and forms. All of this started when a new Ghost image was installed on my pc.
The message I get when I try to open my database is "You do not have permission to run "tblSwitchboard." I get the same error message when I try to do anything at all on the database.
I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help.

We have a SQL database that uses Active Directory with Windows Authentication. Can users that are members of the Active Directory group that has read/write access to the SQL database create ODBC connections to access the database directly and update the data? They dont have individual logins on the server. They are only members of the Active Directory group that has a login?

I'am doing functionality test on DTS packages and saving my DTS packages to meta data services instead of saving them as local packages. We would like to see what information would be provided by saving them this way, but when we try to open the meta data browser (the 3rd icon under DTS) we get the following error:
An error occurred while trying to access the database information. The msdb database could not be opened.

Hi, I am porting a massive VB6 project to ASP.net 2005. Most of the code is fine, however because the original developers used lots of data controls and my own time restrictions I thought to replicate the functionality by using Sqldatasource controls instead.
These data controls are bound to DBtruegrids. The project has has lots of code like...
AdodcOrders.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 or If AdodcOrders.Recordset.EOF or AdodcOrders.Recordset.MoveNext() or
AdodcDetail.Recordset!FieldName
The problem is the sqldatasource control doesn't have a recordset/dataset property which I can access and manipulate, or does it? What should I do to get round these? The project has thousands of lines like this in so its not feasible to rewrite it (although if I could I would!).
Any suggestions please gratefully appreciated.
many thanks

I've used the ADS sample program and it works well. I looked at the code and changed it to VB (sorry, I'm not biligual yet), and have tried to 'adjust' it so I can connect to a remote PC (XP running IIS) instead of the local PC using the workgroup information database (system.mdw). Any ideas of the connection string that could make the connection?..my intention is to RDA once a week between a mobile device (3g/gsm) and a 'poor man's' IIS web server.
I've tried everything I can think of, and I'm sure its possible since all I'm doing is changing the connection path.

Hello,
I have a quick question regarding getting data from a SQL database but I am slightly confused as to the best way to handle it.
Basically on of the projects I am working on I need to send data to another company, there are several calls required to the database to bring back various options for changing the questions asked on the front end.
Up to now all that has happened is there has been a mutual agreement between myself and this other company and they have just had access to the database to call a series of stored procs which I have written for them to access the data. Recently however the situation has changed and my client wants me stop them accessing the database however they still need to recieve the information from the database they recieve now.
What will be the best way to handle this? My knowledge of SQL is farily limited presently and I am only ust getting into learning a lot more about it.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Lee

I have MS-Access as data source for one of the reports. I can preview the report fine from BI studio however, it does not work when I deploy it on report server.
The error is :
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source '<data source name>'.
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '<UNC location of the MS-Access database>'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
MS-Access database is located on a different server.
Any help to solve this? I understand it has something to do with permission both on server where reporting service is running as well as the server where MS-access database is located. Pls help.
