I have a table in MS Access that I would like to copy/import into SQL Server 2005. I would like to automate this process so that it copies the table over on a daily basis. Can someone tell me how this can be done?
Thank you in advance.
I am not sure I understand the problem I am causing, but I am a beginner!
Here's the situation: I have a table located on MS SQL server database number 1. Said table, which we'll call WIDGET_PRICES, is accessed regularly by my existing source code and has no problems.
At some point, I decide to move operations to MS SQL database number 2 and do a very simple database copy of WIDGET_PRICES from database 1 to database 2 using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
The end result, inevitably, is that my source code can no longer access the very same table as it is located on the new database server. The code hasn't changed, it's still trying to access WIDGET_PRICES as always. And, from what I see on my screen through Management Studio, WIDGET_PRICES appears just fine.
An example error is the one I just got:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e37'
Invalid object name 'YB_ITEMS'.
/yardbark/tampabay/header.asp, line 27
The only clue is that while my transferred tables often look named like "database1.WIDGET_PRICES on database 1, they wind up looking like database2.WIDGET_PRICES on dabase 2.
I include a little more detail and screenshots of the tables in questions at this web page.

An SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.
On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.
Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?
Any inputs will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
I have a Data Flow Source that uses a SQL Command to pull data. In the SQL statement, I used CAST to change all varchar types to Nvarvchar to suit MS Access. I can preview the data from the source. In testing, the SQL statement only pulls about ten records.
I have a Microsoft 2000 Access database table as a destination. Data in each column in the table is required, and all columns have defaults.
I also have a grid data viewer set up. I have the DefaultBufferMaxRows set to 2 so that I can see data going across. When I execute this dataflow, no data is transfered to the Access database table. No data shows up in the dataviewer. There are no errors. The 'Execution Results' tab does not show errors, but indicates that zero rows were transfered. There are no warnings.
How do I begin to isolate the problem? The following is the SQL Statement in the Data Flow Source. Thank you for your help! - cdun2

we planning to create partitioning on existing tables. The partitioning is on date column, there should be one partition for each year.
Creating of new partitions should be automated, and also we dont have any plans of archiving old data, all we want is that new partition creation should be automated.
I is possible to copy the structure of an existing SQL 2000 table to make a new table with Visual Studio 2005?

Hi all,
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.

Hi,
I have an Access 2003 front end that contains a number of linked tables on SQL Server 2005 SE. I recreated the application on a second network for testing and was able to use the Linked Table Manager to refresh the database connections. The problem is when I try and add another linked table. I select Link Tables from the menu and then when I select 'ODBC Databases()' from the 'Files of Type' list box, the Link window closes right away.
Any suggestions?
Hello all.
I was wondering if there was a simple Import statement I could use in SQL to import an Access Table into SQL Server 2005.
I know how to use the SSIS Import/Export Wizard, but that seems excessive to import a single 204 record table
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I`ve create a table which has 10 fields...Now I have to create 12 more tables which has same fields...

This question is about SQL Server 2005:
I have been trying to figure out how to copy tables and stored procedures between 2 databases (on the same server) using SQL Server Management Studio. I have tried right clicking on the table name, "script table as", "drop to", "clipboard", then I click on the 2nd database, and then click on the "tables" . I change the name of the database and click "execute". This creates the table but does not copy the data. I have also tried "create to" "clipboard" and "insert to" "clipboard" and cannot seem to be able to figure out how to get the results that I want. I am new at this but need to get the tables with the data copied along with the stored procedures, even if I have to do them one at a time. When I was using SQL Server 2000, I was able to use DTS to copy objects to other databases easily. Can someone please tell me a way to accomplish what I need to do? I have gotten information here before that was very useful and was hoping that someone can help me again.Thank you so much. Carol Quinn

I'm trying to copy all the data from a single table across to a remote linked server and I'm having all sorts of problems.
The SQL query I'm attampting is this:-
Code:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'GODZILLA', N'SQL Server'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'GODZILLA', 'False', 'rmtUser', 'lclUser', 'password'
Go
--DELETE TABLE
DROP TABLE GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.horse

EXEC sp_droplinkedsrvlogin 'GODZILLA', 'lclUser'
EXEC sp_dropserver 'GODZILLA'
Basically - this doesn't work as an error is returned:-
Code:
The object name 'GODZILLA.Racing.dbo.' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
Now - it has no problem running a SELECT (ie read-only) query from the remote DB but why does it have a problem with writing? And if thats the issue, why doesn't it say so. Am I going about this the right way???

Hi,
I have right now sql server 2000 instance installed on a server (serverone) which is accessed on all nodes through an ODBC connection.
Now we have upgraded our server to windows server 2005 which will be on other machine servertwo. I have right now installed sql server 2005 in servertwo. Wish to copy the database from serverone to servertwo. Once it is copied and everything is working fine. I want to uninstal sql server 2000 from serverone.
What is the best way to do this? I am trying different things like tried running code Advisor on serverone which is not recognising the sql server 2005 instance of servertwo. It's giving message as since the sql server is installed on default settings it can't be accessed remotely. I see that SQL server 2000 database is accessible on all nodes including servertwo. Why is it that servertwo sql server is no where accessible?
What it is that I am missing?
Kindly help me.
Thanks, regards.

Hi
I have an sqlserver setup locally to chew thru pricefiles from our suppliers. The pricefiles comes in various formats mostly txt-files and are inserted via bulk-inserts and separeted by GO-statements, in the end I end up with a table containing unique partnumbers, the average price for the part, and number in stock. What i would like is to have a transact- statement in the end of all thoose sql-statements that copies the final table to a remote sqlserver that contains the DB used on my website. How do i connect to a remote server thru a sql-statement? is it possible?
If i just get the connection part explained, i can figure out the rest by myself.
Thanks

Hi all,
I got a situation here.....
From a source table (in SERVER1) I get ids of candidates and from another source (in SERVER2) I get their CVs (text files stored in various Folders). My destination table (in SERVER3) has two fields, CandidateId & CandidateCV.
I have to transfer the data in above fashion for nearly 1 million records.
How can I write a DTS package which picks up the text file from SERVER2 based on the CandidateId which comes from SERVER1? Probably I need some kind of looping mechanism which changes the candidate id & his CV file.
Can anyone help???
Thanks...

Hi,In SQL 2000 if I wanted to take a complete copy of another running sqldatabase all did was create a new database locally and right-click itand select import and point to another database and click copyeverything (stored procedures as well) and it did it for. I can't seemto find the same functionality in SQL 2005. You can copy tables andviews but not the whole database. Is there another way of doing this?Our SQL database is hosted externaly and they recommend using theimport/export feature to do it. Does anyone know I can copy everything(such stored procedures, data table relations...etc)TanksMA.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen copying data to a remote SQL2K5 destination from a SQL2K5 source database, both using mixed sql server security mode, my job generates the following error:
[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Execution failed with the following error: "Cannot apply value null to property Login: Value cannot be null..".
This occurs after the destination database tables have been truncated and replacement data from the source would begin to copy.
The same process can be successfully completed from the Management studio with a simple data export process. However, when I run the saved package again from the BI interface, I get this error.
My search engine searches have yielded numerous hits of others having the same problem with one microsoft rep indicating it was a bug and would be resolved in sp1. I am working with sp1. Oddly, there is only mention of this in the forums. No KB article from MS addresses the problem and I do not see it addressed elsewhere at sqlservercentral.
It appears that others have switched to Integrated Security and resolved the problem. However, I do not have that option with a remotely hosted database.
Does anyone have any information concerning this problem?
Hi,
I have an SSIS package designed to copy across a file from local machine to a location on the network.
The SSIS package works fine when I run it directly run it in the Designer, ie, it copies over the file to the network.
But when I run the package through the Job server agent, it fails giving me a validation error on the network path..
Does it have to do with the permissions of the User account used here? Could anyone please provide any information on this....
Thanks

Hello, As the heading states, I'd like to copy a database table from VWDE over to SQL SME, where it'll replace its namesake. I've tried the 'attach' method but was denied due to server permissions. Is there another way of doing this, or will I have to delete the database and then run a script to reinstate (annoyingly convoluted)? This would be so much easier if the host supported SQL 2005 Express. Thanks in advance

Hi,I am having

"Access is denied", but if I try to copy the file from the Command

something like this:"Check in Services and make sure that the MSSQLServer service is run as
a domain user and that domain user has rights to these network
resources."Well
it sounds plausible, but I don't know what are the exact steps to do
this. How do I know which user is running the MSSQL Server service? Are
they referring to the user which I use to connect to my SQL Server
Database engine throuhg the SQL Server Management Studio?Also they are suggesting 'domain user', and as I said before I do not have domain network just regular simple workgroup network.Here
are some details of the user that I use to login. I generally login
into my Windows 2003 Server machine with user called 'User1' and I use
the same 'User1' to connect to SQL Server through the Management Studio
