View 4 RepliesI have one column in SQL Server 2005 of data type VARCHAR(4000).
I have imported sql Server 2005 database data into one mdb file.After importing a data into the mdb file, above column
data type converted into the memo type in the Access database.
now when I am trying to import a data from this MS Access File(db1.mdb) into the another SQL Server 2005 database, got the error of Unicode Converting a memo data type conversion in Export/Import data wizard.
Could you please let me know what is the reason?
I know that memo data type does not supported into the SQl Server 2005.
I am with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2.
Please help me to understans this issue correctly?
We have a daily process, which copies millions of rows of data from one DB to another over Linked Server. Just checking on the best practise, are there more efficient ways than the Linked server to copy millions of rows of data from one DB to another? I checked bulk insert but that transfers the data from the file to DB not DB to DB.Â

I am trying to import a table from Access and/or Excel. I have attempted with both programs. I get errors possibly due to some bad data over the years. Is it possible to tell SQL Server to import a table and discard any errors? or is there a way to scrub the data before importing to make sure all possible causes of errors are corrected or addressed?
Does anyone out there have a good example of a VB Application for importing data from an Access DB into a SQL Server DB using DTS. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Guys,
I am new to DTS 2005; having trouble on how to connect to MS Access to pull data? what kind of connection manager should I use (OLE?) and what specific Data Flow Source type? Please respond.
Thanks
I hope I am giving the right information here to get help with this.
I am trying to get information from two tables that are in an access database over to sql 2005. I did this via dts and saved the import options as a file, but when I run this as a job I get the following error: Date 2/27/2008 11:14:08 AM

CREATE TABLE GG Products

SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'W:MASTER DOCUMENTSDatabasesChannel_Advisor_Feed.mdb';'admin';'', GG Products)
go
Here I get errors regarding nulls and if I pointed to the correct database, which I have.
Any help with this problem and I hope I have given good information in order to get help.

Hi All,
At the moment i have a piece of software that uses Access to store the data into a number of tables.
I am developing a new piece of software that has been built around SQL express and need to upgrade users that are using access. I have managed to write the installation to install etc and also the start of a script to insert all of the tables. I cant work out how to get the data into SQL express using a script.
Basically the access db (CentralDb) will be stored a a given location C:Program FilesCentralDB.mdb
The tables within the SQL version are indentical to access but i need a way of pulling out the information stored and putting it into SQL, and as there is no DTS i am becoming stuck on how to automate the process.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I am having a problem importing data from xls and access into my SQL2005 DB using SSIS. Would appreciate any help in getting this resolved. Environment: Xeon 64 bit processor machine/Win 2003 64 bit (x64)/SQL 2005 64 bit Some of the resources that I have dug up so far have pointed to Jet Engine SP8 and WOW64.

I'm about to embark on writing some code in perl or VBscript that automatically synchronises a constantly updated Access database with an MSSQL database.
I know MSSQL has an import tool built into Enterprise manager but I'm wondering if theres a stored procedure that does this?
The way I'm thinking of doing it is to read the all the access tables into separate hash arrays and then INSERTing them into the MSSQL database after checking for any duplicates. This all sounds a bit time consuming (there are a large number of tables) and processor intensive.
If anyones done anything like this before, I'd love to hear their views......!
Thanks!

I'm using DTS to import data from an Access memo field into a SQL Server ntext field. DTS is only importing the first 255 characters of the memo field and truncating the rest.I'd appreciate any insights into what may be causing this problem, and what I can do about it.Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,
When I'm importing an excel table to SQL2005 and go to the column mappings it defaults to ignore for columns which were valid in access. It won't let me set it back. Why is that?
I am in the process of upgrading from Access to SQL Server. When Iimport the tables from an access file, everything looks normal inEnterprise Manager. All the tables are listed properly.However, when I login through Query Analyzer, the tables names have aprefix (my username). Why is that? How can I get rid of it?I'd hate to have to modify all my souce code to reflect the "new" tablenames.Bijoy
View 2 Replies View RelatedDear All,
I need to import data from Access 2000 into SQL 2000.
The collection of Access 2000 databases I have are build identically, with differing data. I need to get that data into some tables I have built in SQL 2000 .
I understand there are 3 main methods, DTS, BCP, Bulk Insert.
I would prefer not to use BCP since I want to write a Stored Proceedure to call the data in. Any thoughts ?

Hi guys
I need help, I am building an Intranet for my company, and we have a system here that we use to clock in and clock out, and the data is stored in an Access database. Now the HR manager needs to run a report weekly for all the temps to see what time they clocked in and out. I have designed a web form where he puts in the date from and date to and select the employee, BUT the problem is I'm using SQL Server, I import the Access database to SQL every morning. Now I need to know How can I have Job in SQL that will import the data automatically without me having to do it manually every morning.
How do I do this using SSIS and DTS I'm using SQL Server 2005.
Thanx guys, plz help

Let me describe my situation
I am running SQL Server 2005. I created all the tables/columns/keys I needed. I export the data to Access.
In Access, I add all the data for the tables. Then I use SSIS to import-append the data back in to SQL Server 2005.
I get this error:
-------------------------
- Pre-execute (Error)

-----------------------
I can use the import tool (SSIS) to create new tables, but not append the data. Creating new tables makes all the tables to lose information about field lengths etc, so this is not an option
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

We are attempting to import data from Microsoft Access databases to SQL Server 2000 using the DTS Import/Export Wizard. I have a few questions.
1) Some of the Access tables have a single field for combined date time with the Access data type set to Date/Time and no formatting set. When the conversion happens these become text data type in the SQL Server. Is there a way to have these become either the smalldatetime SQL Server data type or datetime SQL Server data type?
2) On some other Access Tables with the data type set again to Date/Time again no formatting is set but some columns are dates with the date in the Short Date format, and some columns are times in the Short Time format. Some of these columns may contain null values. This is causing the following error.
Error at Destination for Row number 1. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.
Insert error column 152 ('ViewMentalTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Insert error column 150 ('VRptTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Insert error column 147 ('ViewAppTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Insert error column 144 ('VPreTime', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Insert error column 15 ('Time', DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), status 6: Data overflow.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Invalid character value for cast specification.
We thought maybe it was due to the naming of the one field as "Time" so we changed the name of that field but again the same error occurs but with the new field name.
When we click on the transform button to view the data types none of them are listed as timestamp.
Is it possible that the DB Admin saved some tables and then later on tried to add tables to the same database that is causing this error?
Are we better off trying to import the table structure first and then fill the tables later?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi there,I have a situation where an application needs to import data fromnumber of access mdb files on a daily bases. The file names changeevery day. The data import is very straight forward:insert into sql_table select * from acess_tableThere are up to 8 tables in each access file and some access files willhave less. So the process needs to figure out which tables exist inAccess mdb file and import them whole into sql staging tables.Any recommendations are appreciated.Thanks

An error occurred while the report Bank Account Transactions By Type was being imported: Item has already been added.

What is the meaning of those errors? I thought it was because ReportServer was trying to add 2 or more parameter with the same Name but for example in my report Bank Account Transactions By Type i only have one textbox that use the name trans type. So is someone have an idea?

I know it is a simple question. I am writing a query to import a table (MyTable) from an Access Database (MyDatabase.mdb). MyDatabase.mdb is in C: in local. This is the query from BOL.
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyDatabase.mdb';'admin';'mypwd', MyTable) AS a
By BOL, admin and mypwd should be user_ID and password. But I am doing testing in local, and don't set user_ID and password. How to handle two things.

Getting the following error when trying to import an Access 2002 database into Microsoft Reporting Services:
--The given path's format is not supported--
Please advise if you know what this is referring to.
[Note: originally posted this on microsoft.public.sqlserver.programmingbut had no luck there...sorry if you're seeing this twice]Some facts:1) I have an Access database (.mdb file) sitting on my harddrive.2) I have Visual Studio 2005, Sql Server Express, and Sql ServerManagement Studio Express.3) I do *not* have Microsoft Access.What I'm trying to do:I simply want to import the Access database into Sql Server Express. Inother words, I want to end up with a Sql Server Express database thathas all the same tables, keys, and relationships as the Access databaseas well as all the data from it. I can live without the queries storedin the Access database, but those would be nice too.What I've tried so far:I'm able to connect to the Access database using the "Linked Servers"features in Management Studio Express. From there, I was able to writesome simple Transact-SQL queries to find out what tables are in theAccess database and copy them, one at a time, into a Sql Server Expressdatabase.This is definitely a good start, but it doesn't take care of theprimary keys or foreign keys. There appear to be procedures for thoseas well (sp_primarykeys, sp_foreignkeys), but I keep thinking theremust be an easier way.Which brings me to...Questions:Without having to buy additional software/tools, can I import thisAccess database without a lot of programming? If so, how?Thanks in advance,-Dan
