Hi,
We have several Access database that we would over time plan to convert
to SQL. I am looking for a tool that works better than the upsize
wizard in helping with the transition - I am looking for something
reliable yet reasonably priced.
Thanks in advance for all your help

what is the proper method of taking a database made in MS Access and converting it so that it runs in SQL Server 7?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am re-writing an application for Windows CE which was originally written for the Palm OS. The original application was written in VB6 using access databases. I will be re-writing it in VB.Net and was considering using SQL Everywhere as it seems to fit the criteria that i need.
There is also an application written for the desktop that synchronizes with the mobile application. This also is written in VB6 and uses Access Databases.
I found the Sync with access CTP which i thought was exactly what i will need for this project. However i have a few concerns about SQL and Access and would like to ask a few questions before i can continue with this project.
I read that this Sync with access will allow me to synchronize the data between my desktop application and the mobile device application.
What will happen when we re-write the desktop application to use SQL?
Will i be able to sync the data between the 2 applications without using SQL Server? i.e. sync using SQL Everywhere.
If not, is there any way around it without implementing SQL Server.
I thought of having an Access Database in between the 2 applications to utilize the Sync with access component. Does this sound feasible?
Also, is it possible to Remotely sync the data without using SQL Server?
Thanks.

I want to upgrade my 6.5 SQL Server to version 7, but it looks like I don't have enough disk space.
I installed version 7.0 and launched the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard in hopes of converting my databases (objects and data)
from 6.5 to 7.0. Instead, the wizard wants to make *copies* of my databases in the 7.0 instance. These databases are large
and I don't have enough room for a second copy of each database. Is there no way to *convert* the existing .dat files from 6.5
to 7.0 format? I want to avoid doubling the disk capacity of my server.
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.

Hello,
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?
Thanks

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?

Is there a way to do this so that I do not have to manually upload one at a time? I tried adding all the .bak files at once to the backup device window but it only did the first one listed. It would be so much easier to restore them all at once so that I do not have to continue this manual process. I am restoring them via device.

I did create the field on table as TinyInt. I created an appending query and appended the records to the SQL table. Now I have 0's or 255's in the field.

Hi,I would like some help converting an access query to a SQL Server query.The access query is made up of the following and then repeated for each field:SELECT Sum(IIf([gender]='Female',1,0)) AS Female, Sum(IIf([gender]='Male',1,0)) AS Male...FROM dbo.applicants I have tried using the following to test out an alternative, but it brings back the incorrect figure:SELECT COUNT(CASE WHEN gender = 'Female' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS FemaleFROM dbo.applicants I've looked at the table and should get back 350, but only get back 193.But using the following query I get the correct figure:SELECT COUNT(gender) AS FemaleFROM applicantsGROUP BY genderHAVING (gender = 'Female') Although I can't use the above query because I want to also count how many 'Male' applicants there are.How can I do this?Thanks

Hope this makes sense.
I am trying to convert an Access based blog app to SQL Server but I'm having some trouble with some SQL.
The sql is as follows:
SELECT *, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblComment WHERE tblComment.blogID = tblBlog.BlogID AND tblComment.commentInclude <> 0) AS TOTAL_LINKS
FROM joinBlog
WHERE BlogIncluded <> 0
ORDER BY BlogID DESC
The access version returns blog entries & the number of comments posted to each entry.
joinBlog is an Access query:
SELECT tblBlog.BlogID, tblBlog.CatID AS tblBlog_CatID, tblBlog.BlogHeadline, tblBlog.BlogHTML, tblBlog.BlogDate, tblBlog.BlogIncluded, tblCategory.catID AS tblCategory_catID, tblCategory.catName
FROM tblCategory RIGHT JOIN tblBlog ON tblCategory.catID = tblBlog.CatID;
I assume I need to make a view out of the Access query, I have done this & that appears to work.
The problem I have is when I try the 1st sql that is in my page with sql server I get the following error:
The column prefix 'tblBlog' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
I can make the following change which returns data but does not attach the blog comment counts to the proper blog entry, instead it returns the total comments in the query:
SELECT *, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblComment,tblBlog WHERE tblComment.blogID = tblBlog.BlogID AND tblComment.commentInclude <> 0) AS TOTAL_LINKS
FROM joinBlog
WHERE BlogIncluded <> 0
ORDER BY BlogID DESC
Can anyone tell me how to convert this for SQL Server? This is my 1st access to sql server attempt.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm using a database through ODBC in an application designed on Macromedia Drumbeat 2000, and use the following query for one of the segments:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Books.ISBN, Books.Title, Books.Category, Books.Description, Books.Price, Books.Pubdate, Books.Keywords, Books.UnitWeight, Authors.au_lastname, Authors.au_firstname, Authors.au_midname, Publishers.pub_name, Books.Pub_No
FROM Publishers INNER JOIN (Authors INNER JOIN Books ON Authors.au_id = Books.Au_No) ON Publishers.pub_id = Books.Pub_No
It works fine if I use the MS Access version of the database through ODBC, but if I try using the SQL version, I get the following error for this query:
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '.'. Statement(s) could not be prepared.
Why on earth is this happenning? I'm completely at my wits end...and pointers would be wonderful.
Thanks...

Hello, I am fairly new to SQL Server so I apologise if this is the wrong forum. I have a Sales analysis table in a SQL Server 2000 database. The table is populated from various sources in our ERP system. via a DTS package For our French branch sales unit of measure is eachs (EA) for actuals, but the primary UOM and our forecast data is normally in cartons. I have a product master table which defines primary unit of measure, and a unit of measure conversion table. So if I wanted to convert the data all to the primary measure I would write the below in Access:
UPDATE (tblSalesReport INNER JOIN tblItemMasterERP ON tblSalesReport.fldProductNo = tblItemMasterERP.fldProductNo) INNER JOIN tblUOMConvertERP ON (tblItemMasterERP.fldShortItemNo = tblUOMConvertERP.fldItemNo) AND (tblItemMasterERP.fldPrimaryUOM = tblUOMConvertERP.fldUOM1) SET tblSalesReport.fldUOM = [tblItemMasterERP]![fldPrimaryUOM], tblSalesReport.fldQuantity = [tblSalesReport]![fldQuantity]/[tblUOMConvertERP]![fldConvFactor]
WHERE (((tblSalesReport.fldCompany)="00007") AND ((tblUOMConvertERP.fldUOM2)=[tblSalesReport]![fldUOM]) AND (([tblSalesReport]![fldUOM])<>[tblItemMasterERP]![fldPrimaryUOM]));
I have found that in the DTS I can add an SQL task, but it seems to only allow UPDATE if there are no joined tables. I found the same thing in Stored Procedures, the SQL designer would only allow me to use one table. I guess I am looking in the wrong places. Can anyone point me in the right direction to incorporate the above sql (or equivolent) into our DTS package. Unfortunately the company decided to dispense with the services of the person who designed the package.
I am switching my database from MS access to SQL server, and i want the following query to br converted to SQL stored procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE FORUM_MESSAGE AS
SELECT *
FROM FORUM_MESSAGES
WHERE ID=MessageID;
here "MessageID" is a run time generated parameter, and is not a field in the database.
thanx
