Question About Column That Will Link 2 Tables.
Sep 2, 2007
I realize this a Transact SQL forum. If there is another forum more appropriate, please let me know.
I want to think about the best way to begin to set up this database with respect to the column that will link these tables together.
The info below is what has been given to me as my client's list of values/info she would like to include.
Here is my first pass, knowing that the ID columns need to be fixed. Thank you!

I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.

When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?

Hello all, I have a quick question. Is it possible to create linked tables in MS SQL, similar to the was MS Access does?
I have a new application(x) that is going to be dependant on another application(y). I just want to link 5 or 6 tables from y into x for the purpose of not duplicating information. Is this possible?
I apologize if I seem a little lacking in the knowledge of MS SQL, I am new to it and trying to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi all,
I would like to simply link two tables that are in two different databases in the SAME server.
I know that I could use the replication method (snapshot or merge) but I need a simpler method like the Access link table method.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello All,
I am new to this forum and hope that some one can help me with this problem.
I know that in MS Access you can have a linked table in your databse such that as long a the like is not broken, it behaves similar to any other table in the database.
My problem is that I need to do the same thing for multiple databases that I have on a MS SQL Server that ALL currently have copies of the same table in common.
I wish to have a single table that they all share and have access to just link any other table that they currently have but is actually linked.
Can this be done?
And if so, then could someone please guide me in this?
My logic is that if MS Access can link tables then I could suspect that MS SQL Server should be able to also, but I could be wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Lonnie

Anyone has any idea why I havethis problem?
I have a SQL 2K database on a named instance with tables populated with data and they have no relations between them.
I have a MS Access 2000 database.
I have a system ODBC connection on the client computer to the SQL 2K using trusted connection.
I linked the tables into MS Access 2000 to SQL 2K and I can read the data without any problem.
When I try to update the data on the table, I get the message : The recordset is not updatable.
I am the DBO. So I am supposed to have all rights. All the select, update, insert and DRI rights are enabled.
I tried it with another user and it does not work either.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks

Hi All
My manager told me to link SQL Server database tables to access so that he can access the tables in MSAccess to do his SQL queries.
I am thinking of linking server but I am not sure about that.
Is someone can tell me what to do and explain me how.
Thanks in advance

I am trying to do the following:
Insert n rows into A Table called EAItems. For each row that is inserted into EAItems I need to take that ItemID(PK) and insert a row into EAPackageItems.
I'm inserting rows from a Table called EATemplateItems.
So far I have something like this: (I have the PackageID already at the start of the query).
INSERT INTO EAItems(Description, Recommendation, HeadingID)SELECT Description, Recommendation, HeadingIDFROM EATemplateItems WHERE EATemplateItems.TemplateID = @TemplateID INSERT INTO EAPackageItems(ItemID, PackageID) ....
I have no idea how to grab each ITemID as it's created, and then put it into the EAPackageItems right away.
Any Advice / help would rock! Thanks

Hi,
I want to design a report in which it will contain fields derived from 2 different stored procedures. I understand a 'table' can display data from a single dataset. How can i bind these two stored procedures into a single dataset so as when i click on the table and use its property 'DataSetName', to be able to select the dataset which holds all columns from stored proc 1 and stored proc 2. How can i link multible tables ( multible stored procedures with different column names in each one) into a single dataset to feed the report?
Thank you
George

Excuse my illiteracy in this subject, I just learned about this yesterday, I managed to create a report by using business intelligence report wizard, and when I preview it seems that I can view the fields that I wanted to view.
But in addition to that I also want to add hyperlinks to some of the fields, because I am planning to embed the whole report in a web page. For example if I go on the field that I want to add hyperlink and right click->properties->navigation tab->Jump to url, I thought that I can handle it. Actuall it works fine if I link it to http://www.microsoft.com but let's assum e the name of the field is ID, and you want to link to http://somewebsite/somepage.aspx?id= (id in that cell), how can I achieve this parametric behavior, actually I tried right click cell->properties->navigation tab->Jump to url, and filled url text box http://somewebsite/somepage.aspx?id=&(concatenation operator)=Fields!ID.Value but what happens is instead of evaluating the value of ID field, it takes expression as text as text and that's why it links to totally wrong url. Is there a way to get around this problem.
And can somebody suggest me a detailed tutorial on programmatically using reports in .net web applications using c#.
If somebody can help me I'd be really glad.

I'm pulling data from XML into tables, but I'm unsure how to link the data after it's imported. This example has names and tasks, and I can pull the data into two tables, but I can't find any way to link the task to the appropriate person. My person and task tables populate without issue, but there's nothing I can find to link the rows together. So in this example Test 1 would go to the first two Tasks and Test 2 would go to the second two work items.
DECLARE @XML TABLE (XMLData XML);
DECLARE @Person Table (Name NVARCHAR(50), Addresss NVARCHAR(50));
DECLARE @Task Table (Name NVARCHAR(50), Details NVARCHAR(50));
INSERT INTO @XML SELECT '
<process>
<header>
<Person><Name>Test1</Name><Address>123 main street</Address></Person>

I am designing a database schema where several tables have one-to-many relationships to records in other tables. One way to implement it is to create a link table for each pair of tables that have a relationship:
identity
Table1_ID
Table2_ID
1
12
9
2
12
15
3
18
42With the SQL 2005 support for the XML data type, there is the possibility of storing the IDs in an XML column. The XML stored with a record (equivalent to record 12 from the above example) might look like this:
<Links>
<Table2_LinkType>
<ID>9</ID>
<ID>15</ID>
</Table2_LinkType>
<Table8_LinkType>
. . .
</Table8_LinkType>
</Links>The XML column method has the advantage of not requiring that a separate table be created but does not enforce referential integrity. The link table method has the advantage of allowing constraints to enforce referential integrity but has the disadvantage of requiring the creation of a separate table for each pair of tables having a relationship and joining to an additional table has performance implications. Implementing standard Add, List and Delete operations for the link table method is straightforward. As a test and to familiarize myself with the new XML features, I created Set, List and Delete stored procedures for the XML method. Both methods will work.
In deciding which method to go with are there any other issues I should be considering besides database integrity, complexity and possible performance issues?
From the standpoint of best practices and coding standards is one method preferred over the other?
Here is some additional information. The data set I will be working with has table sizes numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Any given record will only be linked to at most a half-dozen records in any other table.
I searched on-line for information and I was able to find plenty of good articles discussing how to use the new XML data type in SQL. However, I was not able to find any information on when not to use the XML data type over equivalent joined-table methods.

Any tool, script, procedure, or otherwise that will solve this problem?
CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )
What is the link between these two tables?
I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."
Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

Is there a way that you could get the column names for each table in a database using 1 query?
something like:
tbl colname
t1 catID
t1 catName
t2 prodID
t2 prodDesc
t3 cartID
...
...
I know it would be long, but I would just be searching through the saved output for specific names.
