Hey everyone. I've linke an access database and I am able to query the tables like so:
SELECT *
FROM QFinity...tblEmployees
I can do that to all the tables, however, I'd like to create a view to this linked database. Is this possible? I have a more complex query I'd like to run:
SELECT dbo_evaluations.eval_id, dbo_evaluations.quality_date, dbo_eval_questions.status
FROM QFinity...dbo_evaluations INNER JOIN dbo_eval_questions ON dbo_evaluations.eval_id = dbo_eval_questions.eval_id;
I get the error "Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'dbo_evaluations'."
I'm afraid I've reached the limit of my know how concerning sql server 2005... I think I read that I need to create a view? But I can't figure out how to do that.
We migrated a MS Access 2003 mdb into MS Access 2007. The mdb has linked tables to SQL Server via a DSN and utilizes a mdw file. In 2003, the username/password is "passed" to SQL Server, so the UID/PWD that is used for opening the mdb, is used in SQL Server.
Opening the same file in 2007 using the same mdw, gives a secondary login on SQL Server.
Is there a way to have MS Access 2007 pass the UID/PWD to SQL Server on linked tables, the same way that 2003 does?
Hi , On my Desktop i registered Production Server in Enterprise Manager on that Server if i go to SecurityLinked Servers There is another Server is already mapped, when i am trying to see the Tables under that one of the Linked Server i am getting the Error message saying that "Error 17 SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
if i went to Production Server location and if i try to see the tables i am able to see properly, no problems why i am not able to see from my Desk top i am using the sa user while mapping the Production Server on my DESKTOP using (ENTERPRISE MANAGER)
And i check the Client Network Utility in the Alias using Named Pipe only, i changed to TCP/IP still same problem What might the Problem how can i see the Tables in Linked Server from my DESKTOP
I have linked a number of tables from a SQL database to a Access front end. I am able to update all but one of the tables (the main table I need!!!). I get the error, cannot update record as it has been changed by another user although there is no other user. I believe it may be to do with the way the recordset is linked to the access database or the referential integrity of the table associations in the SQL database.
I can change the data using query analyser without issue.
Having a little problem with linking to Access tables. I have an Access database that has in it, some linked tables. After setting up the linked server in SQL server, none of the linked tables in Access show up, only the tables that were created or imported show up.
Is there anything you can do to get the linked tables in Access to show up under the tables list in the SQL linked server?
Hello, We are currently live with a CRM solution (Siebel) that uses SQL Server 6.5 as the back end. All is fine and dandy, except I have some reservations about security. Quite simply, it is possible for anyone to open up MS Access and link to any of the SQL Server database tables via the ODBC DSN used by the Siebel front end. This DSN is necessary for Siebel to function. I am bit worried that someone (out of incompetence or spite) might do just that and cause some serious damage. Its probably technically beyond the large proportion of our users (especially those that could make mistakes!), but I can't get the nagging fear out of my head. Does anyone know of anyway to combat this problem? I have scoured the web, including this site, and cant seem to get any information on this. Thanks and Regards Dike
is it possible to define in sql server linked tables to odbc data sources as it is possible to do in access? except Access and vfp, is there another database that allows to create linked tables to odbc data sources?
I need to combine in a database native tables with odbc linked tables, but it would need to use a database more powerful that access or vfp
I have a system that has the tables on an SQL Server with the front-end on a Microsoft access database. They are connected via odbc and the tables are linked to the access front-end. The odbc connects to the sql server via a user created for the purpose that only has rights to this database. This user has rights set so that they can access/alter any data in the database.
When my users try to alter data on some of the linked tables they get "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." This does not happen to every table only on some of them.
This happens even when there is only one user accessing the system. If I log into the enterprise manager I can alter those tables/ records without any problem (as some articles Iâve read say if the problem is connected to a corrupt record its not possible to then alter that record and sql server should give me an error message instead).
I have tired. - Compact and repairing the access front-end. - Deleting the links in the access front-end then re-linking them. - Copying the objects from the access to a new blank access db. - I have tried altering the account the odbc uses to login to the SA account. - I have asked the server admin to do the 'compact and repair' on the s.q.l server, shrink I believe it is, as some articles suggest this could solve the problem. - The admin has also tried this on the transaction files (so he has told me).
None of this has worked.
I'm stuck. I don't have any training on SQL server (nor will I be able to have any as I gather the training budget may be needed to fill some finance holes). If anyone has any idea of the answer to my problem or could point me in a direction that I could try investigating I would be very grateful. I have asked the admin if itâs anything to do with transactions, he has told me he does not know how to see those but he will try to find out if we can. Am I shooting in the dark or does this sound like a transaction/process locking problem? Is there something I should be looking for?
I am trying to update some SQL-linked tables in my Access database by repoiting the existing linked tables to a new datasource. The problem is, when I go to select the machine data source where the table sits, I get an error message saying the MS Jet Database can't find the object. This is because when Access creates the linked table, it replaces the period in the <schema>.<table_name> with an underscore. So when I go to update the links, it is essentially looking for the new table with the wrong file name.
I have about 80 linked tables to update and I haven't been able to figure a work-around. HELP PLEASE!
Not sure if I'm posting to the right group or not, pls tell me where else to post.
My question is: I have a microsoft access database on a client desktop that links to tables in sql server. Is there a way to encrypt the data that goes back and forth between access and sql?
We have an application written in MS Access. The tables are linked to a SQL 2000 database. The problem is that sometimes insert a new record in a table freezes and times out after a while without anything has happened. When installing the application the *mdb file is copied over to the C drive and an ODBC connection is written to the registry. The application is used by many in the company. We have problems on tables defined with IDENTITY columns. Can this be our problem and how can we solve it?
Our business application is running SQL Server in a remote data center and we had been using MS Access from a local PC to occasionally fix data problems in the data base. As the tables continue to grow, it's painfully obvious MS Access just can't handle the volume of data. One of our tables we need to get into is about 200,000 rows, another is over 100,000 rows.
We need to be able to change individual rows, and perform search and replace commands across one or more columns in select tables.
What software can we install on local desktops to allow viewing and editing of SQL table data?
I am using two almost idential laptops, one with XP and one with Vista, the only differences is that the XP laptop has 1G of RAM and running Office XP and the Vista has 2G RAM and is running Office 2007.
I have a MS Access database that has linked tables to a SQL Server 2000 database. The performance of the Access database on Vista is 5-10 times slower on the Vista machine. Just flipping through records or opening forms can take 5 - 15 seconds on the Vista machine while the XP machine takes 1 sec or less.
What gives? I looked at the CPU performance and the network performance while the Access database was busy flipping through records, the network traffic was < 2% and the CPU would spike to 40% on one of the CPUs (dual core) but would remain under 5% most of the time.
I also previously had Office XP installed on the Vista machine and it had the same performance issue so bought and install Office 2007 on the Vista machine and it did not solve the problem.
It seems that Vista is doing something that is slowing down Access with linked tables. Is this a issue between Vista and using an ODBC connection to SQL Server?

I got thrown into a new project that is going to require me to update an SQL server database tables from an Access table on the backend of an Oracle database on another server. At the end of each day the Access dabase will be updated from the Oracle database.
What I need to do, is when the Access database is updated I need to have the table in the SQL database automaticaly updated. When a new record is added to the Access table I need the new record added to the SQL table. When a record is deleted in the Access table I need to keep that record in the SQL table and set a field to a value (such as 0). And when a record is updated in Access, have it updated in SQL.
Needless to say this is a bit out of my area and not sure how to accomplish this.
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 have a application that uses a MSDE database to store information. The application seems to hit into a database corruption problem. Now I would like to view all the datas and tables created in the database. How can I do that using OSQL ?? What are the commands to view all the tables in this database ? Or is there any other better applications to do the viewing ?? Please advise. Thanx a lot !!
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition - Client Service for Netware installed. - Access 2000 database in a Novell Directory Services (NDS) Environment - SQL Server service running under local Administrator account.
Linked server configured as follow:
Linked server: MyDB Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider Product name: Access 2000 Data Source: UNC path to my Access database
Security: Admin with no password (default Access behaviour)
I can connect to my access database by following the next steps:
- Open Management studio on the SQL Server itself (where I'm logged in as Administrator) - Connect using Windows Authentication (Administrator) - Create a new query, run EXEC sp_tables_ex 'MyDB'
This will return all the tables from the Access database.
I can also make a view pointing to MyDB...MyTable.
Enough prove to me It can work....
So far so good
But now the tricky part.
When I login as 'sa', I can't connect and will receive the following message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "MyDB" returned message "'Full UNC to my access database' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.".Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "MyDB".
(In real life I want to connect to my SQL 2005 Server from a ASP.NET (2.0) application using SQL authentication, but as long as I can't get the above working this is not important for now)
We are running SQL Server 2012 on Windows 2008 Server. In one database, we would like to create a view which access objects in another database without giving the user permissions to the underlying base tables in the other database. The ownership chain is broken in this case. Can this be accomplished (considering the ownership chain is broken)? If so, what is the easiest method to accomplish this task? Or
Example 1 (Works):
In DB1: --UserA selects from Schema1.View1 (which access tables in DB2).
In DB2: --UserA exists with select permissions on the base tables accessed by Schema1.View1 (in DB1).
Example 2 (trying to accomplish):
In DB1: --UserA selects from Schema1.View1 (which access tables in DB2).
In DB2: --UserA exists (or may not exists) with NO permissions on the base tables accessed by Schema1.View1 (in DB1).
I'm using the gui to create a view which requires my connecting to another database on the same server. I've tried to create synonyms; however, I can not access them (they do not display) on the synonym tab when I try to add them to the view.
I'm a novice so any suggestions to get me on my way is greatly appreciated.

User is using MS Access linked table to query database (using ODBC). User can open the query in MS Access. However when the user goes to export the data to MS Excel format, the user receives the error message:
"Unexpected Error from External Database Driver (22)."
A trace on the db, reveals that the user process is attempting to log in to the server as 'Admin'. However, when the query with the linked table is first opened, the user is prompted for username/password (non Windows authentication).
Any ideas? I googled and found some stuff, but nothing directly related and most of what I found was supposedly fixed with SP1.
I am using ADOX to create linked tables in a jet database from an ODBC datasource. The tables in the ODBC data source does not have a primary key. so I am only able to create read only linked tables.But I want to update the records also. I tried adding a primary key column to the linked table while creating the link. but I am getting an error while adding the table to the catalog.
The error message is "Invalid Argument".
I use the following code for creating the linked table
Sub CreateLinkedTable(ByVal strTargetDB As String, ByVal strProviderString As String, ByVal strSourceTbl As String, ByVal strLinkTblName As String)
Dim catDB As ADOX.Catalog Dim tblLink As ADOX._Table
' Name the new Table and set its ParentCatalog property ' to the open Catalog to allow access to the Properties ' collection. .Name = strLinkTblName .ParentCatalog = catDB

When using Sql Server Enterprise Manager and viewing a Database / Tables section, most of the tables if not all have a create date of 11/5/2004.Except for one, DNN_Users, has a creation date of 7/10/2007What factor could have caused that create date to have changed?What factors go into the date being set on that column in the database design? Does the date get updated say if I were go go in and change a datatype in a table?
Hi, I have developed a software which is to run on multiple PCs on a network sharing the same database on an inhouse server. There is another database which has some similar tables that sites on a server where the website is. I need to have the common tables synchronized. How is this possible and what issues will I have in doing this? Well there be a problem if the synchronization happens when someone is using our software which is making some changes to that table at the same time? Or if someone on the website is entering some information that updates the database?
I am using Visual Studio 2005 with C#. Access Database.
we canīt open most of the sql server tables from our Access project any more, which has to be related to collation or extended property problems.
trying to open any table will result in the information "The stored procedure has been executed but did not return any records" after the first try and later on nothing will happen any more; tables wonīt open.
basically this started to happen after recreating the sql database due to resolution 1 in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 318989: collation of the server is Latin1_General_CI_AS collation of the old database was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, which led to the error described in the article. collation of the new database is set to <Database Standard>, now i have the problems described above.
anybody some good help on that?
ps: we canīt really rebuild the user database all the time, because we got flight data in about 4 billion records in there, so we will need anything quick and easy... thanks
Hi All, I have recently moved jobs. From my last job I created a holiday database for the organisation, than I copied it on a storage device. Now, in my new job I would like to use same database. But the problem is most of the tables were linked. I know I can convert linked tables to local tables and I have tried it but it asks me for the new location with the same table names. Can some one please helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp I as I am really very desperate.
I am pretty new to SSIS, so please excuse me if this is a trivial question.
I have a denormalized database table in an Access database that I need to import into several different tables in a SQL 2005 database. You can think of the Access table as a CustomerOrders table. For example customer related information (i.e. CustomerName, CustomerID, etc...) is repeated with each record in the Access table. When this data gets moved to the SQL 2005 database, I need to insert one record for each distinct CustomerName/Customer ID record into a Customers table. I then need to insert and link every "Order" record into an "Orders" table.
I am sure that this is probably a pretty common task, but I have not found any examples or articles explaining this particular situation. What ways can this be done?
I was thinking I need to loop through each DISTINCT Customer record in the Access (source) table and insert a Customer record into the destination database's Customer table. I would then need to iterate through each row of the Access (source) table and "Lookup" the appropriate CustomerID/Key Field and insert an "Order" record.
The Access table contains over 75,000 rows of data. I am looking for the most appropriate way of doing this with SSIS (so that I don't have to write a custom application to do this!). Any help, input, links, articles, etc. is appreciated!!
We are upgrading from SQL 2008R2 to SQL2014 but we have discovered that a couple of our applications are not supported on 2014. We'd like to keep one 2008R2 server and one 2014 server until we have time to upgrade the applications and move everything to the new server. The problem is we have custom code in some of the 2014 databases that access tables in the 2008 databases.
I know we can easily do cross server joins by using a linked server, but it would be a huge undertaking to find all that code and add a linked server name in front of every table, stored procedure, etc. So my question is, is there any way to move a database to a different server and still be able to access it without having to qualify the object names with a linked server? Is there some kind of server/database synonym that can be setup that would be recognized by all databases?
