I have to convert my existing MS Access frontend and SQL backend app into ASP.NET web app with sql server backend.The version is 2000.Pls it's urgent?
Hello all,I am doing some research on database conversions. Currently, I aminterested in any information that would help me convert a database fromone schema to another. This could be changes as minimal as adding afield to a table, or as large as deleting tables and changingrelationships. Unfortunately, my experience with SQL Server is minimal.I know how to do a lot, but I do not know a lot of intricacies thatmost experts know. I know how to add tables, delete them, alterrelationships, add fields, work with stored procedures, take care ofsecurity, etc. I also know how to backup, restore, etc.The type of information I am looking for could be:1) Open source software that performs conversions2) Tutorials/books/<any reference> that would assist me in learningwhat I must to complete this task.3) Third party software that could be used on a large scale andwouldn't resort in unnecessary licensing cost if I was to deploy on thislarge scale.I greatly appreciate any information that could be provided me.To give you guys an idea of my experience level:I've been programming C# and .NET for a year now. I've also hadextensive experience in object-oriented design. I've worked with visualbasic, cobol (did I mention this? LOL), asp.net, php, javascript, andseveral other programming languages on an extensive basis. Whileprogramming is my speciality, I've strayed away from database work untilnow. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in researching this matter.Thanks ahead guys,Shock
Source Database: Access 2.0 Destination Database: SQL Server 7.0 Data Transfer: DTS
I have to convert an Access Database 2.0 to SQL Server 7.0. The database is about 500 MB in size. The biggest issue I am dealing with is data scrubbing. For example: The database consists of three main entity tables with numerous allowed values tables. There is no primary key on the allowed values tables and there aren’t any foreign key relationships between the allowed values tables and the entity tables.
Here is my plan: 1) Create the allowed values tables with an Identity column. Import the Allowed values into the tables, there by automatically generating a primary key for each allowed values. 2) Create the Entity tables, and create import tables to temporarily hold the imported data. Write the appropriate scripts to insert the data from the temp tables into the entity tables. The Entity tables would then have the foreign key relationship with the allowed values tables and would have the integer from the allowed value’s table’s primary key.
Advantages: Narrow tables = smaller, quicker, better transactions. The database would be smaller in size and there would be less repeating data. Third normal form.
Disadvantages: Report writing would be harder, more joins for the end users. (The end users are not too technical. Access was their limit.) The data scrubbing stage could be tedious.
The system is more a Decision Support System. Lots or reports and selects. Data is uploaded to the system once a week during off hours. The hardware is more than adequate to meet the needs: Compaq, 2X Processors 600Mhz with 1GB RAM, and 54 GB of Hardware RAID 5.
My main concern is five years from now when the next person converts from SQL 7.0 to what is available.
I can not supply the exact table definitions or data.
Working on trying to support mutliple backend db's against a custom VB6 app. Right now the db is SqlExpress. It's relatively uncomplicated and I just want to move table structures and data over. Using the MySql Migration tool, I am able to authenticate as SA to a server-based instance of SqlExpress, however, only the MS-supplied databases appear as available databases; my databases don't appear. Can't seem to authenticate at all to any local instance of the database, either. Anyone done any successful migrations to MySql through their migration tool?
I have a db in SQL server 2000 developer edition. I am using Visual Studio 2005 standard, and also VWD Express. I would like to just access the database that is in SQL server 2000 so I can get on with developing the site, but VS2005 refuses to recognize the instance. It recognizes 2005 instances right away.The services are all running, the network protocols are enabled, uid's/pw all of that is correct. I am getting the "named pipes" error (the named pipes protocol is enabled).Any suggestions? I'd really rather just work with the db as-is in SQL 2000. But I can't get it to connect. I can connect to it if I export it to SQL 2005, (on the same development machine) but can't get the stored procs over to the 2005 db. So my web app is not finding the stored procs and won't run.Do I need to uninstall SQL 2005 from this box if I want to use SQL 2000?Thanks,--Donnie
I have to import data from Excel file to an SQL Server Database. One of the Excel Worksheet columns it's number (with max value of 4550204008914630000), I will import the column to a char 21 database field. Using a DTS to do the work, when I import that column it will convert the data in something like 4.5502041E+18. Can you give me some help for the DTS.
hello friends, i am facing a problem in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The database created in the SQL Server 2005 Express is when opened in SQL Server 2000, it changes the data type of all the columns of all the table to text type. can anybody help me?
I will be getting data in either Excel or Access form on a daily basis. I would like to automate the process of converting this (excel or access) data to a table in an existing SQL database. Since this conversion needs to performed on a daily basis, note that I need to update the table that contains data from the day before.
Is it possible to do this and if it is possible, can someone tell me how to do it.
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
just wondering if anyone out there has any advice or feedback regarding an upgrade conversion from 6.5 to 7.0 via the wizard? is this as straightforward as it sounds?
the only bad thing i have heard is when an upgrade is done from 6.5 to 7.0 and the 6.5 database utilized system tables . . . any feedback would be sincerely appreciated.
Hello, I would like to convert some of the rows in a column that has a data type of int to a decimal. Should I change the data type of the whole field to decimal or numeric, it seems like no matter what I do I cannot get certain rows to come up with a decimal number even though when I run a cast or convert it gives me the correct number of rows affected when I look at the data it is still in int format. Although this seems simple I am not having any luck getting this to work. Any help would be appreciated.
We had a database MS-Access with DAO statements and we are upgrading our Database to MS-SqlServer which in need to convert the DAO statements to ADO statements. What i want to know is there any free tool which converts automatically to convert DAO statements to ADO statements. If so what is it?
If not what is the easiest procedure to convert or otherwise should I have to do it manually convert all those DAO statements(so many). If I have to do it manually can u explain where i need to take care mainly while converting the statements.
I am in the process of converting my database's columns from char/varchar/text to nchar/nvarchar/ntext.Most of the columns have foreign keys/indexes defined on them.I need to get this done programmatically.Any scripts or help would be invaluable.
Hi! I have a Fact_ETL process with several Lookups. I need to compare a ID-string datatype DT_14 from OLE DB Source to string DT_18 from Dim_salesperson. Then I would collect the ID's from Dim_salesperson into OLE DB Destination. Tried to convert DT_14 to DT_18 before Lookup. No, not working. Decimal[DT_Decimal] not working either... I would be so grateful if someone could give an idea...

Hi,I keep getting the error:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '@qty' to data type int. When I initiate the insert and update.I tried adding a: Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text), but it didn't work..

Hi does anybody know how to programmatically convert an SQL Server table into a dbf or an excel spreadsheet? I'm using C#. Also, i need to put the new table into a different folder. Thanks.
I am getting a "Syntax error converting the varchar value '10,90' to a column of data type int." error when I run the following procedure:
@myList varchar(200)
SELECT column1 FROM table1 WHERE table1.ID IN (@myList)
When @myList is a single value, I get no errors. However, when @myList is a comma separated list like in the message above, I error out. I am using SQL Server 2000.
How else can I build this list of IDs? Thank you in advance for your comments.

I faced somehting wierd today while trying to convert between SQL Data types to C# data types:
Check the image please, the problem is that, different value number is being given to each column type, by using both: syscolumsn.type and syscolumns.xtype, which one to use ? which is the best used to convert to C# ? Are there any place where data types of SQL Server are being converted to C# data types ?

I'm searching on a smalldatetime field in SQL Server so a typical value would be 09/21/2005 11:30:00 AM. I have a search form which offers the user a textbox to search by date and unless they enter the exact date and time, no matching records are found. Of course I want I all records for a given day to be returned. This is how I'm doing it now. Thanks. Dim dteDate_Requested As String = txtDate_Requested.Text If dteDate_Requested <> "" Then strSqlText += " Date_Requested='" & dteDate_Requested & "'"End If
