Apr 10, 2000I want to upgrade my 6.5 SQL Server to version 7, but it looks like I don't have enough disk space.
I installed version 7.0 and launched the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard in hopes of converting my databases (objects and data)
from 6.5 to 7.0. Instead, the wizard wants to make *copies* of my databases in the 7.0 instance. These databases are large
and I don't have enough room for a second copy of each database. Is there no way to *convert* the existing .dat files from 6.5
to 7.0 format? I want to avoid doubling the disk capacity of my server.

Converting Yes/No, Access Field To SQL
Oct 24, 2000I did create the field on table as TinyInt. I created an appending query and appended the records to the SQL table. Now I have 0's or 255's in the field.
Shouldn't they be 0's and 1's instead????
What am I doing wrong?
What's the best way to convert the Yes/No fields into SQL, since I want to keep the access front end.
Thanks for any help.
Converting Query From Access
Dec 6, 2007Hi,I would like some help converting an access query to a SQL Server query.The access query is made up of the following and then repeated for each field:SELECT Sum(IIf([gender]='Female',1,0)) AS Female, Sum(IIf([gender]='Male',1,0)) AS Male...FROM dbo.applicants I have tried using the following to test out an alternative, but it brings back the incorrect figure:SELECT COUNT(CASE WHEN gender = 'Female' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS FemaleFROM dbo.applicants I've looked at the table and should get back 350, but only get back 193.But using the following query I get the correct figure:SELECT COUNT(gender) AS FemaleFROM applicantsGROUP BY genderHAVING (gender = 'Female') Although I can't use the above query because I want to also count how many 'Male' applicants there are.How can I do this?Thanks

Converting Access App To Sql Server
Dec 14, 2005Hope this makes sense.
I am trying to convert an Access based blog app to SQL Server but I'm having some trouble with some SQL.
The sql is as follows:
SELECT *, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblComment WHERE tblComment.blogID = tblBlog.BlogID AND tblComment.commentInclude <> 0) AS TOTAL_LINKS
FROM joinBlog
WHERE BlogIncluded <> 0
ORDER BY BlogID DESC
The access version returns blog entries & the number of comments posted to each entry.
joinBlog is an Access query:
SELECT tblBlog.BlogID, tblBlog.CatID AS tblBlog_CatID, tblBlog.BlogHeadline, tblBlog.BlogHTML, tblBlog.BlogDate, tblBlog.BlogIncluded, tblCategory.catID AS tblCategory_catID, tblCategory.catName
FROM tblCategory RIGHT JOIN tblBlog ON tblCategory.catID = tblBlog.CatID;
I assume I need to make a view out of the Access query, I have done this & that appears to work.
The problem I have is when I try the 1st sql that is in my page with sql server I get the following error:
The column prefix 'tblBlog' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
I can make the following change which returns data but does not attach the blog comment counts to the proper blog entry, instead it returns the total comments in the query:
SELECT *, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblComment,tblBlog WHERE tblComment.blogID = tblBlog.BlogID AND tblComment.commentInclude <> 0) AS TOTAL_LINKS
FROM joinBlog
WHERE BlogIncluded <> 0
ORDER BY BlogID DESC
Can anyone tell me how to convert this for SQL Server? This is my 1st access to sql server attempt.
Thanks.

It works fine if I use the MS Access version of the database through ODBC, but if I try using the SQL version, I get the following error for this query:
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '.'. Statement(s) could not be prepared.
Why on earth is this happenning? I'm completely at my wits end...and pointers would be wonderful.

Help Required Converting From MS Access SQL To TSQL
May 20, 2008Hello, I am fairly new to SQL Server so I apologise if this is the wrong forum. I have a Sales analysis table in a SQL Server 2000 database. The table is populated from various sources in our ERP system. via a DTS package For our French branch sales unit of measure is eachs (EA) for actuals, but the primary UOM and our forecast data is normally in cartons. I have a product master table which defines primary unit of measure, and a unit of measure conversion table. So if I wanted to convert the data all to the primary measure I would write the below in Access:
UPDATE (tblSalesReport INNER JOIN tblItemMasterERP ON tblSalesReport.fldProductNo = tblItemMasterERP.fldProductNo) INNER JOIN tblUOMConvertERP ON (tblItemMasterERP.fldShortItemNo = tblUOMConvertERP.fldItemNo) AND (tblItemMasterERP.fldPrimaryUOM = tblUOMConvertERP.fldUOM1) SET tblSalesReport.fldUOM = [tblItemMasterERP]![fldPrimaryUOM], tblSalesReport.fldQuantity = [tblSalesReport]![fldQuantity]/[tblUOMConvertERP]![fldConvFactor]
WHERE (((tblSalesReport.fldCompany)="00007") AND ((tblUOMConvertERP.fldUOM2)=[tblSalesReport]![fldUOM]) AND (([tblSalesReport]![fldUOM])<>[tblItemMasterERP]![fldPrimaryUOM]));
I have found that in the DTS I can add an SQL task, but it seems to only allow UPDATE if there are no joined tables. I found the same thing in Stored Procedures, the SQL designer would only allow me to use one table. I guess I am looking in the wrong places. Can anyone point me in the right direction to incorporate the above sql (or equivolent) into our DTS package. Unfortunately the company decided to dispense with the services of the person who designed the package.

View 5 Replies View RelatedProblems Converting Data From MS Access To MSSQL
Oct 15, 2007Hi All,
I am converting an old MS Access database to MSSQL. While I do get some data into MSSQL, some weird things are happening that are beyond my capabilities.
The database I am trying to convert exists of several tables. The first few are converted perfectly, but one of the last is giving difficulties. What I do is:
SET @SQLQuery = 'INSERT INTO TableName ( ' +
'[field1], ' +
'[field2], ' +
'[field3], ' +
'[field4], ' +
'[Date], ' +
'[field6]) ' +
'SELECT ' +
'[field1], ' +
'[field2], ' +
'[field3], ' +
'[field4], ' +
'[Date], ' +
'[field6]) ' +
' FROM '+ RTRIM(@LinkedServerName) +'...TableName'
EXEC (@SQLQuery)
I do the same for each table, all with their own TableNames and field names. 80% of the tables have a date field, which is of type DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP in Access and datetime in MSSQL.
As mentioned: the first tables are converted perfectly, however one fails with error message:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 8, Server XXXXXX, Line 1
Error converting data type DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP to datetime.
If I leave the date field out of the query for that table, it all works (obviously, with an empty date column). The weird thing is that most of the other tables have a date column as well, they are the same data types as in this column and the conversion query is very similar as well.
I have Googled on the full error message and on DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP alone, but all results I get seem different to what I have. I have tried using convert to put the date in the correct format (format in the date tables is DD-MM-YYYY), but this doesn't help. Would have been funny if it had helped, as all other tables use the same date format, and according to the specs, DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP should be automatically converted to datetime anyway (which in all other tables works)...
Basically, what I am saying is: I have 8 extremely similar tables, which I all try to convert using the exact same method, 7 tables succeed and one fails...
Thanks in advance for your help!

Converting Stored Procedures Back To MS Access Queries
Mar 15, 2007I know its a weird request, but we have created an application with sql server but our client wants a version which can be put onto disk.
We decided to create the stored procedures into queries, would this be the best idea and if so does anyone know if there is a freeware software that can do this or will I have to painstakingly re-create the queries?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mar 13, 2008The project I work with consists of about a dozen databases. One of the .mdf files was deleted by one of the team members. Since we are still exploring with the data structures to some degree, we didn't have a backup for this file, but we do have the .sql file that created the database. Now, however, we cannot access any of the databases because the OS reports that it can't find the one file. The log shows that it connects to the others fine, but gives us a login failure because of one missing file [Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11]. Losing the file is of no importance to the team, but it sure is causing a problem for SQL Server 2005. How do we get the rest of the databases to connect and just drop the damaged one to recreate it later?
