SSMA (Access - SQL 2012) newbie question about new tables

I have successfully run SSMA and moved the back end tables of an Access project to SQL Express 2012.
Some questions:
- if I add a new table to the SQL backend, how do I get it to appear in the Access project?
- if I want to move the whole thing to another computer, how do I go about it?
- do I always have to have the SSMA app installed?
- I can't see an ODBC datasource on the machine
Thanks for some help
CarolChi

Thanks, I was not clear in my questions:
1. Given that from now on the tables should all be in SQL, I think it would be better to create new tables in SQL them there rather than create them in Access and have to keep moving them to SQL with SSMA. So if I create a new table in SQL how can I
see it in Access? Or can I easily create a linked table in Access?
The table created by SSMA have this property:
If I create a new table in SQL and link it I get a more classic ODBC connection:
2. I am happy with SQL backup/restore, attach/detach. But how does Access know where the SQL Database has gone?
3. I thought the migration was a one time task, but from what you say it is an ongoing "linking" app. So I would be better to export my tables and re-link them to get something that can be moved to another network or computer?
4. The SSMA looks very much like an ODBC connection.
This is a new project so I will have to make lots of new tables and also move the whole thing around to different computers, on different networks.

  • Question about Update Tables

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a question about "update table" entries. I read somewhere that an entry in update table  is done at the time of the OLTP transaction. Is this correct? If so, does this happen on a V1 update or V2 update? Please clarify. Similarly, an entry in the "extraction queue" (incase you are using "queued delta" will happen on V1 update. I just want to get a clarification on both these methods. Any help in this matter is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sreekanth

    Hi
    update tables are temporary table that are refreshed by v3 job.update table is like buffer, it gets filled after updation of application table and statistical table through v1 v2 update .  we can bypass this process by delta methods.

  • PL/SQL web service: question about stub

    hello,
    I'm currently learning how to work with PL/SQL Web Services.
    I have a question about stubs. The point is, I can deploy a web service to the OC4J server and it works. It also works when I create a stub following the WSDL I made with creating the PL/SQL web service. If I go to the endpoint in my webbrowser, the functionality is the same, with or without using a stub.
    My question is: what is the function of the stub?

    A stub is leveraged by a client application to communicate with a corresponding server side object (in this case, the web service implementation). If you think back to CORBA or RMI applications they follow a similar pattern.
    In the case of a web service you would use the stub to write a client application that could invoke the methods of the remote service and return the responses as java data types. The methods the stub class offers are the same as the methods of the web service interface. It's a common way for providing RPC like functionality.

  • Newbie question about Oracle 11G performance

    I have a situation where a newer better faster server running Oracle 11gR1 is running considerably slower than an older slower server running Oracle 10gR2.
    Both of these servers have the same web applications and same dumpfiles loaded into them.
    I personally installed the Oracle 11g on the new server, however, I didn't install the 10gR2 on the older server, some one else did...
    I have checked what I think are the basics: the tables are not missing constraints, the automatic memory management is enabled.
    I know this is a really broad question.
    Newer server:
    Quad-Core AMD Opteron Processor 2352 2.10 GHz (2 processors)
    16 GB memory
    Windows Server 2008, 64 bit
    Raid 5
    Older Server:
    Intel Xeon 1.8 GHz (2 processors)
    4 GB memory
    Windows Server 2003, 32 bit
    Raid 5

    Hi Derik,
    I know this is a really broad question. No, it happens all the time! Here is a similar issue:
    http://blog.tuningknife.com/2008/09/26/oracle-11g-performance-issue/
    +"In the end, nothing I tried could dissuade 11g from emitting the “PARSING IN CURSOR #d+” message for each insert statement. I filed a service request with Oracle Support on this issue and they ultimately referred the issue to development as a bug. Note that Support couldn’t reproduce the slowness I was seeing, but their trace files did reflect the parsing messages I observed."+
    I would:
    1 - Start by examining historical SQL execution plans (stats$sql_plan or dba_hist_sql_plan). Try to isolate the exact nature of the decreased performance.
    Are different indexes being used? Are you geting more full-table scans?
    2 - Migrate-in your old 10g CBO statistics
    3 - Confirm that all init.ora parms are identical
    4 - Drill into each SQL with a different execution plan . . .
    Raid 5 Don't believe that crap that all RAID-5 is evil. . . .
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_raid5_acceptable_oracle.htm
    But at the same time, consider using the Oracle standard, RAID-10 . . .

  • Several unrelated questions about new MacBook

    This is probably bad form, but I thought I'd try to get several newbie questions answered at once.
    1) Screen on my new Macbook 2.16 core 2 Duo seems overly bright and almost washed out. I changed the gamma to 2.2 in the DIsplays panel and that helps considerably--is there any downside to running like this?
    2) I have heard "glossy" screen mentioned a lot, and mine said it was a "glossy" screen, but isn't just the standard screen, or are there alternative screens for the Macbook?
    3) How do I find the build date for this Macbook?
    4) I wonder if there's an easy way to get my Win XP installation on Bootcamp on my iMac into a Parallels or VMWare VM on this Macbook?
    5) I read that one small advantage of the newer Macbooks is that they have a revised and improved (and slightly smaller) power supply block. Mine looks **** the same as a friend's Macbook Core Duo -- is there some way to check for the current power supply? Machine may have been in Amazon stock for a while for all I know.
    6. Doesn't this new Macbook have wireless n? Would there be a significant increase in speed were I to get a new wireless n-capable router/modem (right now I've got a wireless G)?
    I'm sure I have another half-dozen, but I'll practice retraint and hope nobody minds my ganging up on you.

    Hi Pier,
    1) Screen on my new Macbook 2.16 core 2 Duo seems overly bright and almost washed out. I changed the gamma to 2.2 in the DIsplays panel and that helps considerably--is there any downside to running like this?
    None that I can think of. Obviously, if you are doing professional image manipulation then you could calibrate the screen, preferably with professional calibrating tools.
    2) I have heard "glossy" screen mentioned a lot, and mine said it was a "glossy" screen, but isn't just the standard screen, or are there alternative screens for the Macbook?
    The standard screen is matte with glossy available as a free option.
    3) How do I find the build date for this Macbook?
    Look at the serial number and specifically the first 4 digits. Mine is W8717XXXXXX. This tells me that my build date is week 17.
    4) I wonder if there's an easy way to get my Win XP installation on Bootcamp on my iMac into a Parallels or VMWare VM on this Macbook?
    The only way is if you have the original Win XP CD. Installation of software on to another computer is, of course, subject to the licensing terms - EULA
    5) I read that one small advantage of the newer Macbooks is that they have a revised and improved (and slightly smaller) power supply block. Mine looks ** the same as a friend's Macbook Core Duo -- is there some way to check for the current power supply? Machine may have been in Amazon stock for a while for all I know.
    Sorry, don't know but you could pop down to an Apple retail store or dealer and compare the newer power adapters with your one.
    6. Doesn't this new Macbook have wireless n? Would there be a significant increase in speed were I to get a new wireless n-capable router/modem (right now I've got a wireless G)?
    802.11n can be enabled for free if you have purchased the new Airport Extreme Base Station. Alternatively, if you wish to enable 802.11n but have a third party wireless router you can purchase the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler for Mac from the online store - it's only $1.99.
    The following Apple KB document will guide you on how to check if 802.11n is enabled on your MBP:
    *How to tell if 802.11n-enabling software is installed*

    Oh, without doubt, I am sure there are. Don't feel hesitant, that's what these forums are for

  • Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

    Hello:
    I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
    My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a  PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
    TIA,
    Kimberly

    Kimberly,
    How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
    Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
    Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
    Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
    Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

  • Newbie question about loading servlets on tomcat

    I have what is probably a very basic question about loading simple servlets on to tomcat to test its installation. I have followed instructions from numerous tutorials to the letter but still I can't get it to work.
    I have installed tomcat on win2k in c:\tomcat. I set up the jdk, environment vars (JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, TOMCAT_HOME) which all point at the correct dirs. I can compile a servlet without errors. I can also place a test jsp and html file into the root directory and they both work fine.
    However, now I am trying a test servlet and no matter what I do it gives me a 404. I have a servlet class file called "HelloServlet.class" which I placed into the %install_dir%\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes directory. I try to reference it using this url:
    http://localhost/servlet/HelloServlet
    Tomcat is configured to use port 80 and has been restarted after adding the servlet class file. Does anyone have a clue why this is not working for me?
    Many thanks
    Marc

    You have to add in the web.xml file that it is in the WEB-INF dir, the information about your servlet. An example:
    <web-app>
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>HelloServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/HelloServlet</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    </web-app>

  • Newbie question about saving files

    Hi all,
    A newbie question here, and maybe it is a dumb question, but I can't get my head around this and sofar found no answer in the forums here.
    When I save a file on my macbook, I can only save it to "top" folders.
    What I mean is I try to save a file for instance to documents/worddocs/lyrics just to say something, then I have to save the file first to documents, and the move it to the lyrics folder via finder or move it to :worddocs folder and then move it again to the lyrics folder. Hope you still get my drift here
    Is there a way to just save it to the subfolders without going through all this moving around?
    Thanks in advance for any advice
    Peter

    When you click File>Save As, you will see the Save As window pop up. At the top, you will see a box entitled Save As, which has a space for your to enter the file name. To the right of this box is an arrow pointing down. Click it. The full file hierarchy will be seen. Then you can save directly to the file you want.
    Hope this helps.

  • Newbie question about downloading files

    Is downloading extra updates, music, etc, risky for your phone, in regards to glitches? Does adding too many applications slow things down? 

    Anything can cause a glitch these days. Always do some research before downloading and installing something.
    You can have many apps installed but, running all of them can slow it down a bit.
    Make sure you close your apps when done.
    Music should not affect it if stored on the memory card but when you play them it will scan all the files for changes and that might take a bit if you download a lot at once.

  • 2 newbies question about diskgroups

    Hi gurus,
    I have 2 newbies question:
    Im working in a RAC Database (11.2.0.3) on Redhat 5.3 with some disk groups. One of this groups have 6 disks on it with different space (134, 236G, 236G, 185G, 185G and 185G).
    My questions are:
    1) What would be happend when the lower space disk will be full?
    2) At this moment the diskgroups are at 45% so i was thinking to change their spaces to have all with the same space (around 193G each), it would create any problem? i should restart database or can do it with database up?
    Thanks

    if a disk is filled, what would happen? could i resize the disks with same size without stop database and without affecting the data stored within each disc?
    By the word 'disk' I assume you mean LUN . When a LUN in a disk group is filled, ASM will use the remaining LUNs to store the data. You should always use LUNs of uniform size to avoid uneven I/O .
    could i resize the disks with same size without stop database and without affecting the data stored within each disc
    You can get the Unix/Storage team to allocate more LUNs for this Server. Once these LUNs are added , check if the following pre-reqs are met for the LUN which is yet to be added to the disk group
    v$asm_disk.HEADER_STATUS = 'CANDIDATE'
    v$asm_disk.PATH = /dev/rdsk/youLUNname
    v$asm_disk.NAME will be NULL
    Now you can add the LUNs using
    alter diskgroup DATA_DG01 add disk '/dev/rdsk/youLUNname' rebalance power 4 ; wait for rebalance to finish (check status in V$ASM_OPERATION)
    Yes. The above can be done without stopping the DB. It won't affect the stored data either.

  • Newbie questions about Database replication, "backups", and sql version

    Just created my first Sql Database using the "SQL Database Management Portal". A blast but three questions come to mind:
    1. Is this DB automatically
    "replicated"? (In other words,  is DB "failover" or clustering,  a feature of all newly created Azure databases?) 
    2. Our on-premise model is to make a daily DB backup which is saved to a nightly tape. If needed, we can restore a two-month old database backup under a new name to compare it with the current one. Does Sql Azure support this capability
    or not? Can it be requested?
    3.  Which on-premise version of sql is "Sql Azure" closest to? (2014?)
    TIA,
    edm2
    P.S. My database was created using the "web" edition.

    Hi edm,
    According to your description, you create a SQL Azure database in Azure platform. The replication feature is not supported by Microsoft Azure SQL database. If you want to sync the SQL Azure database and local database, you can use SQL Azure Data Sync service.
    For more information, see:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_cloud_pilot/archive/2011/10/24/your-first-sql-azure-data-sync-step-by-step.aspx
    In addition, if you have Web or Business Edition databases, you must create your own backup strategy. You can use database copy or Import and Export services to create copies of the data and export the file to an Microsoft Azure storage account. Meanwile,
    Windows Azure SQL Database provides a mechanism for automating the process for exporting a database to BACPAC files on a set interval and frequency. For more information, see:
    Schedule an Automated Export:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh335292.aspx#automate
    Windows Azure SQL Database Backup and Restore strategy:
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3057/windows-azure-sql-database-backup-and-restore-strategy/
    Currently, Azure uses a special version of Microsoft SQL Server as its backend. It provides high availability by storing multiple copies of databases, elastic scale and rapid provisioning, when we check the version of SQL Server, it shows as follows.
    Microsoft SQL Azure (RTM) - 11.0.9216.62

  • Newbie question about livecycle data services es

    Hi all.
    i've downloaded the LiveCycle ES2 VMware virtual appliance, setup it up on a esxi server, workspace, content space, all are up and running, but here comes my question, how do i install livecycle data services in there?how do i set it up to start working with the rest?
    i've read the documentation on how to install, but i'm a bit confused.
    can anyone give me any pointers about this?
    help would be appreciated
    thanks in advance

    1) In Workbench ES2 create a process to create a new user. If you need to create a group there is also a service to create group. Create a short-lived process using the Avoka service > Create User operation. The Create User operation has the inputs depicted below.
    2) Create a process variable called 'newUserXml' of type 'xml' and declare the variable as input. Ideally, create a schema for the xml.
    3) The Create User operation has a single output, a string containing the user ID. Create a process variable called 'userID' of type 'string' and declare the variable as output.
    3) Save, check-in, and deploy the process.
    4) To test the process, invoke the process from the Workbench. For the input variable, plug data into an xml structure such as this...
    <NewUser>
    <Login/>
    <Password/>
    <CommonName/>
    <CanonicalName/>
    <Description/>
    <Email/>
    <Initials/>
    <OrgName/>
    <Address/>
    <Telephone/>
    </NewUser>
    5) If the test succeeds, you are ready to create the Flex application. If not, figure out why.
    6) Build a Flex app. Once you deployed the process, the remoting endpoint is automatically created and can be accessed by Flex. Here is a stub.

  • Newbie question about component and UDF usage.

    This will be the 1st time I'm coding a component and UDF. I
    kind of understand the concept but not sure about how to write it
    in detail.Such as passing the parameter, etc.
    I'm starting to write a user login, verifying users before
    allowing them to enter into the app.
    So I have 2 fields in my login form, Login and password.
    Upon submitting this form, on the actionpage.cfm I'm calling
    a component. This is how I call the component:
    <CFINVOKE Component="cfc/loginaction"
    Method="AuthentiCateUser" ReturnVariable="UserInfo">
    Then in my Component I have the following:
    <CFCOMPONENT>
    <CFFUNCTION Name="AuthentiCateUser" RETURNTYPE="Query"
    hint="Use for user login">
    <CFARGUMENT Name="login" Type="Structure"
    Required="true">
    <CFARGUMENT Name="password" Type="Structure"
    Required="true">
    <!--- checking user authentication --->
    <CFQUERY NAME="Authenticate" DATASOURCE="sendfast">
    SELECT * FROM tblcustomer WHERE Login = '#Login#' AND
    Password = '#Password#'
    </CFQUERY>
    <CFRETURN AuthentiCateUser>
    </CFFUNCTION>
    </CFCOMPONENT>
    When I run this code, I got error, it said :
    The parameter LOGIN to function AuthentiCateUser is required
    but was not passed in.
    The error occurred in
    C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\KDt_Mod\userloginaction.cfm: line 18
    16 : <CFSET
    UserLoginInfo["Password"]="#Form.Password#"> 17 : 18 :
    <CFINVOKE Component="cfc/loginaction" Method="AuthentiCateUser"
    ReturnVariable="UserInfo">
    19 :
    My question is:
    What should I do in order to pass #Form.Login# and
    #Form.Password# to my UDF within my component?
    I'm using CFMX 6 and Micrisift SQL 8

    I've applied cfinvokeargument and my login and password were
    passed to my component.
    But I'm facing new problem: Where should I write my
    authentication? should I write user authentication within my
    component or
    loginaction.cfm (the calling template)
    What I mean by authentication is something like this:
    <CFIF #Authenticate.RecordCount# IS NOT 0>
    <cfset session.CustomerID
    ="#Authenticate.customerid#">
    <cfset session.Name ="#Authenticate.Name#">
    <CFCOOKIE NAME="UserLoginIn"
    VALUE="12345_pn#Authenticate.customerid#">
    <cflocation url="index.cfm?loc=home">
    <CFELSE>
    <script language="JavaScript">
    alert("Username/password is not found, plese try again");
    history.go(-1);
    </script>
    <cfabort>
    </CFIF>
    If I keep this code in my loginaction.cfm what is returned
    from my function is not recognized by the component, the error said
    Authenticate.RecordCount is not recognized.
    Also I'm still confuse with what should I put in the
    RETURNTYPE. If I put query, it gave me error, also, what is
    returned by CFRETURN.
    This is my component:
    <CFCOMPONENT>
    <CFFUNCTION Name="AuthentiCateUser" RETURNTYPE="Query"
    hint="Use for user login">
    <CFARGUMENT Name="login" Type="Structure"
    Required="true">
    <CFARGUMENT Name="password" Type="Structure"
    Required="true">
    <!--- checking user authentication --->
    <CFQUERY NAME="Authenticate" DATASOURCE="sendfast">
    SELECT * FROM tblcustomer WHERE Login = '#Login#' AND

  • Newbie question about datasets

    Say I wanted to use data from a recordset from an asp page
    from an access database for the dynamic table, would the data have
    to be made into an xml file first? or what? If so anyone know of
    some good articles on turning access database tables/querys or
    recordsets into xml? I'll real new to all the xml stuff, it look
    great, but I just do not see the benefit unless you can some how
    right it on the fly

    so once you get your specific data base info set up, in it
    -db connection info
    -sql statement
    If you are using the manual mode, set up your required node
    names.
    If you are using the automatic version, just get up the db
    info and go.
    then you can use it directly in your Spry page.
    var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("yourXML.asp","root/row");
