I have just finished using the SSMA Access tool to migrate an Access database to SQL Server Express. I would just like some clarification on some of the warning messages please.
1. "New timestamp column 'SSMA_TimeStamp' created." How does SSMA determine whether or not to add a timestamp?
2. Why are indexes and keys represented by strings of numbers in Access? What are the numbers precisely?
3. "The foreign key '{32F3E8B2-03B3-46EE-BEBF-C202040E10F3}' is not enforced and therefore cannot be converted." Does this mean that the represented relationship will not be created on the server if referential integrity is not enforced in Access? If so, why doesn't SQL Server allow for this unenforced relationship?
Warning: 0x800470D8 at Merge Assessments and Invoices, Derived Column 1 1 [11661]: The result string for expression "rt_tran_date_bill + REPLICATE(" ",20 - LEN(rt_tran_date_bill))" may be truncated if it exceeds the maximum length of 4000 characters. The expression could have a result value that exceeds the maximum size of a DT_WSTR.
Is there any way to suppress the warning, or construct the expression so that it doesn't generate the warning?
In this example rt_tran_date_bill will never exceed 20 characters
I am new to databases and need some info that I'm having trouble researching. I just migrated a access database to SQL server 2005 using SQL Server Migration assistant (SSMA). I wondered how SSMA handles NULL values? Also how it treats differences between Access and SQL? Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using the SSMA to migrate Access databases into SQL Sever. It's a pretty nifty tool, however, I am having some trouble fully migrating the data over.
When I select 'Convert Schema' the schemas for all the tables are created on the server and *all* the table names appear in the Server Metadata Explorer. There are the usual warnings about name changes and primary key additions and the like but importantly, the output window says that there were no errors. Scrolling through all the tables on the server explorer with the 'Table' tab selected confirms that the schemas for all the tables have been migrated, but for one or two of the newly created tables, the 'Data' tab shows the error message "Failed to retrieve data: Invalid object name 'NewDB.dbo.Pref'" for example. Consequently, when I move on to migrating the data, the operation fails for the tables showing these errors and the error message 'The table 'NewDB.dbo.[Pref]' does not exist in SQL Server' is shown when it is displaying in the Metadata Explorer. When I view the server schema in Management Studio Express, it confirms that they have not been migrated. I have tried to look at the failing tables' schemas and identify any similarities which might be causing them to fail migration but they are all very different so I don't think it's a schema issue.
I am trying to install the client tools for management purposes only on a IBM T42 laptop which meets all the hardware and software requirements listed on MS support including the HCL list, the Readme, the forums and MSDN but the install still shows the following log messages when the install fails.

I was testing the SSMA with SQL Server Express yesterday and it converted the database over from Access 2000 to SQL Server without incident using the wizard; that is until I attempted to execute the final step and connect the SQL Server Express. At that point, I was unable to move the database into SQL Server because I the connection failed. It failed in the sense that I was able to enter the Server name but the boxes to move forward in the process were all grayed out.
Has anyone used SSMA (SQL Server Migration Assistant) with SQL Server Express?
I don't see all my MySQL tables inside SSMA 5.2 after connecting to the MySQL server and database. Some tables are shown but many are not.All tables are Innodb in mysql and in the same database. I can see the tables using many tools, such as MySQL Workbench. I also have a linked server in SQL Server 2012 that links to the same MySQL server and database and sees all the tables -but SSMA 5.2 does not. The LinkedServer uses the same ODBC connection, and the same credentials (username / password).
I have SSMA for MySQL Extension Pack installed, and I am using “Server Side Data Migration Engine” to migrate the tables.
I have done a "check table" from within MySQL on one of the missing tables, and there is no corruption.
I tried to use the LinkedServer to connect from within SSMA, but it appears that SSMA does not allow me to use them?
I have an ODBC connection with both the 32 big and the 64 bit driver. I'm running this from 64 bit Windows Server 2012.
I am using ssma to migrate database from oracle 9i to sql server 2000. I successfully migrated oracle tables,views,procedures,functions etc.. But can you please help me on how to migrate packages and triggers? Here i can able to view the headings like"Triggers", "packages", "Indexes" in SSMA. But none of my oracle objects are displaying under these headings. what could be the problem?
I have SQL 2000 and installed SQL 2005 Express. Had done some test migrations of Access 2003 to SQL2000 using the tool for that. Upgraded that migration assistant to SQL 2005 (my mistake) and now I have 2 instances of SQL2005 running (according to surface area configuration) and even the server mgr for SQL2000 can see those instances.. but SSMA 2005 refuses to see them.. My migration test project is dead in the water.. Can I get a copy of SSMA for SQL2000 back?..Anybody?.. Thanks..
I have 53 tables I need to load from Oracle into SQL Server as part of a migration to a new system. All but three of the tables load perfectly. Three tables load approximately 95% of the rows. The problem tables have between 300,000 and 1,300,000 rows. Oddly some of the tables that migrate successfully have more than 10,000,000 rows. What to check to determine why these tables are failing to load?
I want to migrate DB from sybase to SQL server 2012 and i am using SSMA for it. Till yesterday it was working fine. Today when i try connecting sybase i am getting below error.
Unable to find specified provider.Error occurred while establishing connection to Sybase server. If you have 64-bit connectivity components installed on the machine, you can run 64-bit version of SSMA application whose shortcut can be found under the Programs menu. Or you can install the 32-bit connectivity libraries form Sybase product media or download it from Sybase web site.
I am running SQL Service Migration Assistant for Access 6.0 and I am getting the following error when I attempt 'Refresh from database':

I've clicked on the link above and installed the Access 2010 Runtime that I found there, but that is not working the problem. I'm running Access 2013 (32-bit) on a Windows 8.1 (64-bit).
I have spent days searching the web and forums for an answer to this simple question and cannot find an example.
I have built a service broker application on sql server 2005. The application puts some xml on an incoming queue which is basically a few parameters to be used in a query. This queue will then call a stored proc which does some business logic and puts the resulting results in another queue also in xml.
I have written a test harness in SQL to put messages on the inbound queue and then some sql to retrieve the returned code from the outbound queue.
What I want to do is be able to convert the SQL which does this into .net code to be used by an application. i.e. write in .net some code to put xml on a queue and then write some .net code to retrieve xml from another queue.
I wouldn't have thought this would be a difficult thing to do and would have been done hundreds of times, but unable to find anything to simply send and retrieve XML to service broker queues....
thanks for your help.. its really needed. I found some links, but they are really vague and often doing select statments in service broker or something like this. I don't want to call any sql, just send and recieve XML on the queues.
any example code that does this, would be really helpfull
I am getting the following warning message in the event viewer. I have only one schedule in sql. there is no other schedules in task scheduler or database management.

Hey guys....I have a quick question. I am having a problem with a certain app which connects to my SQL 2000 SP3a Database. It only occurs when I have a ^ in the password, both using SQL and NT authentication.
I have checked on MSDN and they do not list that character as one to avoid. I did find in the books online documentation that the ^ performs a bitwise exclusive OR operation....has anyone tested using ^ as part of a password to authenticate to a SQL db?
ALTER TABLE [konnik].[PORTAL_CONFIG] ADD CONSTRAINT [DF_PORTAL_CONFIG_AUTOPM_ON] DEFAULT (1) FOR [AUTOPM_ON]
and i received the following warning
Warning: The table 'PORTAL_CONFIG' has been created but its maximum row size (12068) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes.
Bear in mind that this table come from Access through the Dts. Could anyone translate this for me? How can i overcome this???

If you have a package that uses an environment variable for an indirect configuration and the environment variable is not present when the package runs you get the following warning:
The configuration environment variable was not found. The environment variable was: "Seer.ConnectionManager.CUECommonReference". This occurs when a package specifies an environment variable for a configuration setting but it cannot be found. Check the configurations collection in the package and verify that the specified environment variable is available and valid.
IMO, if the package is expecting to find something and cannot find it then it should cause an error, not a warning. I'm happy for people to disagree tho :)
I'm having a problem with one of my packages due to a truncation warning that I can't get rid of. It's not the end of the world, because the package still works. It's just extremely frustrating.
The problem arises in a derived column item in a data flow task. There is a postcode field in the data flow which has space for 20 characters. I create a derived column from this which simply removes any spaces:
Derived Column Name: Postcode
Derived Column: Replace 'Postcode'
Expression: REPLACE(" ",Postcode,"")
Data Type: string [DT_STR]
Length: 20
Code Page: 1252 (ANSI - Latin I)
However when I use this expression, or anything else which uses the replace function, I end up with the warning message:
Warning 1 Validation warning. Create Staging Tables: Derived Column [20555]: The result string for expression "REPLACE(" ",Postcode,"")" may be truncated if it exceeds the maximum length of 4000 characters. The expression could have a result value that exceeds the maximum size of a DT_WSTR.
I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of the warning. Is there some way I can use the replace function, but not have the system convinced that I'm about to go over the maximum size limit?
Can some one please help. Lately I am getting an error: LAZY WRITER WARNING: LRU List is Empty
Than the system locks! can anyone help. This is driving us crazy. There is no reference in the KB. We are trying to insert records into a table by a SP.
I'm running SQL Server 6.5, with the latest Service pack on NT 4.0 with SP4. A couple of days ago I started getting a warning message in my event log right after a scheduled task ran. The scheduled task calls three stored procedures (data dumps for master, msdb, and a production database) it also runs a consistency check on each before dumping them. I can interactively run each stored procedure and get NO error messages. Prior to getting the warning message (which occurs after the scheduled task runs) I get normal informational entries that the dumps occurred without a problem and the files are written to the proper area. The error is in the Task Engine category and are Warning type messages. Here is the text:
SQL Server Scheduled Task: 27, 'Proddata Dump' -- Status: Failed -- Task Invoked on: 5/20/99 5:00:00 AM -- Message: Database 'ASSMTCTRPROD' (116647 pages) dumped to file <1> on device 'D:DATDUMPASSMTCTRPROD_990520_DATA.DMP'. (Message 4035)
Any help that anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I'm getting a strange sql server agent warning in my server's event log (not in the sql server log). Its occurring after each agent job runs and says:
"Unable to determine if the owner (sa) of job Trans Backup has server access (reason: Unable to connect to server - check SQL Server and SQL Agent errorlogs)."
I have checked the errorlogs - nothing. My job completes OK, but I get this warning.
I'm running SQL Server 2000 SP2. I'm running in a cluster. The problem has only occurred since a reboot yesterday.
I've recently restored one of my development databases from it's production backup. The restore completed successfully, users were able to connect to the database without any problems. However, when I checked the error log I found the following message:
Bypassing recovery for database 'Test' because it is marked IN LOAD.
I could not find anything on the web or in BOL. Any ideas?

I use VB 6.0 with ADO 2.6 to access an SQL-server. I know that the table I wish to create generates this warning.
But from today ( without any changes to the SQL-server ) , this warning is reported as an error to the client instead of continuing. So my error trap routine traps this as an error now.
I have a workaround that I would to avoid and that's reinstalling the SQL-server ( Only the MSSQL ).
Does anybody know a better solution.
PS : Changing the table structure is not possible in this case.
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online.
how do i get hold of Internet Information Services I installed it on vista premium.
While intalling SQL 2005 on an x64 machine, I got an error message that warned that some functions of SQL would not install unless IIS was installed (and enabled) on the machine. It did not say what would not install, but I gather it is Reporting Services. I don't recall getting these warnings in previous (32 bit) installations of SQL 2005.
On the other hand, when I go into the BI Intelligence Studio on a (32 bit) server that does not have IIS, I seem to be able to create a report anyway (Not really my area of expertise ). Does that mean that Report Services is working without IIS?
Hi,I have a few create table statements which create temporary tablesthat has row definitions which exceeds the 8060 size limit, this causesa warning message being generated (Message 1708).Is there a way I can disable/avoid the warning message from beingprinted ?Thanks,joe
