Morning/Afternoon Hello all,
Have little question to ask; well that's the world’s biggest bluff.
I'm currently looking after a highly used database, but i know that it is full of tables that are not being used (Need deleting) as it’s taking up so much space that can be freed up; basically these tables have been left behind by developers. I did go ahead and think about just randomly deleting them but then i thought that some of these might still be used.
So here's the question is there a way that when a table is access as in an update, select, delete that i can record it in a table along with the date it was accessed (and even what type of access it was I know this is pushing it) and then query that table at a later date so i can tell what are the true tables being access and then hopefully go ahead and delete the correct ones and not make a fool of myself.
Any help or ideas on this would be a great help for me. I am still quite new Sql Server.
Hope you can help
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK. Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task Add an OLE DB Source component Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list. I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
I have set up a link from ACCESS to a SQL 7.0 database using ODBC (File DSN saved on a shared DRIVE). The link works well only from the workstation where the link was created. But How can I create a link so a group of users can view the linked table in ACCESS without type a password? Any suggestion is appreciated.
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.
Strange one here - I am posting this in both SQL Server and Access forums
Access is telling me it can't append any of the records due to a key violation.
The query:
INSERT INTO dbo_Colors ( NameColorID, Application, Red, Green, Blue ) SELECT Colors_Access.NameColorID, Colors_Access.Application, Colors_Access.Red, Colors_Access.Green, Colors_Access.Blue FROM Colors_Access;
Colors_Access is linked from another MDB and dbo_Colors is linked from SQL Server 2000.
There are no indexes or foreign contraints on the SQL table. I have no relationships on the dbo_ table in my MDB. The query works if I append to another Access table. The datatypes all match between the two tables though the dbo_ tables has two additional fields not refrenced in the query.
I can manually append the records using cut and paste with no problems.
hi all, is there any query to move certain data from a sql data to access table through query. i am having a requirement where i have to fetch the records from a sql table that falls within a specified range to a ms access table. is this possible through a query.
Question is: I have table1 in first db and I would like to access this table in second db. In oracle, we create db links to achieve the same. How do we achieve the same in SQL Sever?
Another question about SQL Server tables and access grants.I've created an user 'user1' as Access account, ad also as db_owner of aselected database.Then, I've created a table as user1.table1.When I try to access the data of the table, with the account name of user1,I must specify the owner ('select * from user1.table1') even if I've loggedas user1 (I need to access the data just with 'select * from table1').What's the problem?Thank youFederica
I have a database like DemoData . It contains some tables?
I want to allow the updations and editions for the fields of table1 in DemoData into Outlook calendar.
My process is..... 1. I want to access the Outlook2003 Calendar fields like Subject,Location,StartTime ,EndTime and Contacts and Categories etc and to place them with the DemoData table1 fields using C# windows Application. Letus assume the Table1 contains the columns as.. Subject,Address,Stime,Etime, Contact and Cate
2. same as the above question i want to access the Tasks in Outlook2003 with another table fields.
so if we want to work like this what we have to do?
I have some junk tables in my database, but I am not sure if they are really not in use. Does sql server log the last time that a table gets accessed? when I say access I mean any actions toward the table, including select, update, insert, etc.thanks in advance.

My problem is that I can't query a couple of tables. I created them using DTS myself, in a db called contracts, and called one of them 010425. I've logged in as SA, and making sure the correct DB is shown in Query Analyser.
Here's the query...and very simple it is;
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM [dbo].[010425]
I just keep getting the following error message;
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid object name 'dbo.010425'.
But it shows up in Sysobjects and EM!
I can query the system tables, using EXACTLY the same syntax...no problem there.
I've got SQL Server 7 running on W98. Everything is happening locally.

One of my user gets the following error from MS Access running from his local machine and linking to the database & appropriate tables. The MS Access application uses back end SQL server to get info from. ODBC connections are fine, I tested them already. His machine uses DHCP to connect to the network. Recently he got new upgraded PC and since than this problem arose. He was OK on his older PC. No changes has been made on sql server side. One thing I'd like to mention is: We have Citrix server on which this application is published and this user can connect and perform the same tasks using the Citrix client. He gets this error only when he tries to run it on his local PC and connect to the database on a remote server. Any ideas what & where else to look? Thanks

I have an MS Access 2003 database from which I want to seek a specific record in a SQL Server Express 2005 database. I can connect to the table and get a recordcount but the recordset.supports (adseek) and recordset.Supports(adIndex) both return false. Any suggestions? Specific code I'm using is as follows:

Set rsWSC = New ADODB.Recordset rsWSC.CursorLocation = adUseServer strSQL = "DailyData" rsWSC.Open strSQL, cnxn, adOpenKeyset, adLockReadOnly, adCmdTableDirect
I have an access database that i upsized a few weeks ago and i need to add another table form that database, however when i use the DTS import wizard to get the particular table i wish i get as far as picking the table but i cant preview or do the import, i get the following error message on it!
Error Source: Microsoft Jet Database, Error Description: record(s) cannot be read; No permission on the table 'InternetBilling', Context: error calling openrowset on the provider.
Ive working on a copy of the access database and given all user groups read persmission and im still getting this, how do i get around it?
Does anybody know of a way to determine the last date/time a table has been accessed (query/update)? I've done enough research to know that this isn't easy. However, perhaps somebody has figured out a way through some of the stats that SQL Server keeps to determine the last access of a table. I have recently been put on a team that had no DBA and has a number of databases out there. They would like to determine which databases are inactive and get rid of them. I am a developer and haven't had much SQL Server Administration experience. Any info will help greatly! Thanks!
