Is there any way of importing stuffs from Microsoft Access to SQL Server?

I have quite a big store of information Microsoft Access DB, but now i am required to switch to SQL Server?
Is there any way of importing to SQL Server, either by Java programming or manually?
Thank you in advance.

I like to give some tips on how to fulfil the requirement.. I haven't tried this. If you succeeded, it is well and good.
1) Using Java:
If you like to Java to import the data from MS Access to SQL Server, you have to write a JDBC Program in such a way that it has to retrieve the data from each MSAccess tables and store it in temperory java varaible.After writng into the temp. varaibles, the same thing will be written into SQL Server. The whole process is repeated for all the tables in MS Access.
2) Manual Process:
Try to get the data scripts from MS-Access for all the tables and Load the same into SQL Server
I hope that Manual Process consumes less time compared in writing the codes for transformation..
I hope that you got some idea on reading this. If you have any doubts, try to get back to me..

AW, Apache & Microsoft Access

My AW7 pieces are packaged using one-button packaging and
placed on intranet servers at my customers that run a Windows OS
with IIS. I place the AW Web Player 2004 on the server and download
it using CODEBASE in the start-up html file. The AW pieces send and
receive user data from a Microsoft Access or SQL Server database
via ASP pages. All works well.
A new customer runs the MacIntosh OS 10 OS. The computers use
OS X. The customer has two web servers: one with IIS and one with
Apache. The customer prefers Apache.
I have reviewed the excellent Mac Packaging article at
http://www.gantekmultimedia.com
and can modify the AW files to run on a Mac. My initial research on
Apache says there will be few problems. I am unsure, however, about
the asp files and the Access or SQL Server database. Will they run
on a server with Apache?
Any other issues that I will face?
Thanks.
Jim

I think there are ASP components for both Linux and Windows
versions of
Apache, though I think the Linux one is not as good.

Exception java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Drive

Hi,
I am writing a simple program wihich will display the list of table for a given database. Currently I am using JDBC-ODBC bridge for accessing MS Acccess data base. When I call getTables method of DatabaseMetaData. Following Exception was thrown. Any clue what could be the reason for this?
Exception java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver]Driver not capable
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver]Driver not capable

This exception occured in the following block:

rs = dbmd.getTables( null, "DBIS", "A%", strTables);
Thanks in advance

Hi Krishna,
First, do you have a correct ODBC setup on the platform your working on -- data source, etc.
Second, please enclose the Java code for your connection, etc..
Good luck!

URGENT :: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]

i am trying to execute the following query using jdbc
String state = "select * from cs_test where Start_Time < DateAdd(\"s\",-19800,now()) AND End_Time >
DateAdd(\"s\",-19800,now())";
/java.sql.PreparedStatement querycs_test = c.prepareStatement(state);
java.sql.Statement querycs_test= c.createStatement();
java.sql.ResultSet rs = querycs_test.executeQuery(state);
when i run the same query at the prompt in MS Access it works fine.
The same line replaced with a simpler query works fine.
but when i run the above i get an error
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1.

Here's the value of your query before preparing it:
select * from cs_test where Start_Time < DateAdd("s",-19800,now()) AND End_Time > DateAdd("s",-19800,now())My SQL refererence doesn't have anything about functions called DateAdd or now. It might be Microsoft specific, in which case when your organization converts to another database your query is going to stop working. Don't use vender specific extensions.
Was your intention to call a Java method called DateAdd or now? Then your problem is a few missing quotes. Otherwise, I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]

Hello. I'm trying to do an INSERT into an MS Access 2002 database, and this is throwing:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '' is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
The INSERT is pretty straight forward:
INSERT INTO Nodes (ID, Name, IP, DateAdded) values ("m22", "Colt,Frankfurt,GR", "213.61.48.52", "2003-02-06")
ID is a TEXT field of length 3 and it is the key (table is currently empty)
Name is a TEXT field of length 50.
IP is a TEXT field of length 16.
DateAdded is TEXT field of length 10.
I tried putting dummy data into the table and doing a SELECT, and that worked without a problem.
Can anyone tell me what is or might be causing this? Thanks in advance!!!
- john ferguson, kansas city

Okay, I fixed this.
The fix was to change the double quotes (") to single quotes (') inside the VALUES part of the statement.
So it went from:
INSERT INTO Nodes (ID, Name, IP, DateAdded) values ("m22", "Colt,Frankfurt,GR", "213.61.48.52", "2003-02-06")
to:
INSERT INTO Nodes (ID, Name, IP, DateAdded) values ('m22', 'Colt,Frankfurt,GR', '213.61.48.52', '2003-02-06')
and now it works fine.

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Optional fe

Could it be that the driver is not installed for that?
I am connecting like that:

connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ="+path, "", "");
Thanks for your help.

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few...

Can someone please help me? I get the error java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1.
The offending section of code is:
int resultsTableID = 0;
query = "SELECT results_table_01 FROM dbo_results_table_01 WHERE image_1_id = '" + file1ID + "' AND image_2_id = '" + file2ID + "'";
System.out.println(query);
rs = s.executeQuery(query);
The select statement comes out:
SELECT results_table_01 FROM dbo_results_table_01 WHERE image_1_id = '115' AND image_2_id = '116'
There does not seem to be a problem with the parameter separations, so if anyone can spot what I have done wrong I would appreciate it.
Thanks

I have just tried what you advised: Not using single quotes, and I got the same error.
The query now looks like:
query = "SELECT results_table_01 FROM dbo_results_table_01 WHERE image_1_id = " + file1ID + " AND image_2_id = " + file2ID;
Thanks for your help, but it did not work.

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid ar

Hi, I'm getting an error in the eManager server log when running a load test:
Error executing prepared statement: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcPreparedStatement@189ff39
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid argument.
I found this on the MS site concerning the 2GB size limitation for MDB files:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=835416
The RSWReport.mdb file is more than 2GB in size, so I'm assuming that this file is causing the problem.
Is there anyway to purge this file? Will compacting the file or splitting the file as MS recommends fix the problem?
James

You can always just create a new mdb file and run with that. I typically create a new MDB for each project I work on, or build of an app.
The windows ODBC controls will let you create a blank MDB file.
1. Start - Settings - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Data Cources (ODBC)
2. Chose the reporter ODBC - click configure - create. I tend to name by date and project, etc.
3. In e-Load, chose Manage - Databases - New. In that window, chose 'Create e-Load tables in the database, give it a name, enter the DSN name, chose 'set as current e-Load database' and click ok.
You should be good to go with a clean MDB file. If I missed a step or the instructions aren't clear let me know.
SQL will give you better performance, but if its not an option managing the MDB files will help.

Error: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]

I am having a problem inserting/updateing date field of MS Access database with JDBC. I have tried several solutions. Serveral Field formats in the db and several methods with java. I will post my most recent attempt. I can read from the database I just can't write the date to the db, though I can write to any other field with a different datatype.
Please don't bash me for using MS Access, it is my only option.

I can insert a new row and add all the fields (includeing date (as string)), but I have to use SQL statements. I cannot get the result set functions to work.
I can retieve a rs just fine and print all the contents of the rs.
My problem is with rs.updateRow();
my code is below,

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( database ,"","");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement(

ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
     ResultSet Cpu = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Cpu");
if (Cpu != null){
     while ( Cpu.next() ) {

               tSys = Cpu.getInt("Sys");
               tWio = Cpu.getInt("Wio");
               tIdle = 100 - (tSys + tUsr + tWio);
               tTotal_Cpu = tSys + tUsr + tWio;
               Cpu.updateLong(8, tTotal_Cpu);
//or Cpu.updateLong("Total_Cpu", tTotal_Cpu);
// I get the same error as the post above

Error: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too

Error: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1.
I am getting above error in my sql to access database. The program works fine if I remove where clause. But I need where clause for my prgoram. Actually, I am trying to work on user management aspect and it won't allow me to do.
String query = "select * from user where username="+name; s.execute(query);

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean
Can you please further explain. I have a value against which querry is run. Say that value is stored in
String value; (stores the user names as string)
and then i create a querry like
String query = "select * from user where name= 'value'";
s.execute(query);
in above query
user is table name
name is a field which stores usersname.
if I put 'value' it does not work but i put actual names 'xxx' it works. But I cannot put actual names here.

Accessing MS Sql Server with Java classes - problem connecting to socket

I found an example at this location which uses java classes to connected to MS Sql Server.
http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci1065992,00.html
--bummer - it is a login location - so I will include the article
Anyway, the example is using Websphere, but I am still on Jbuilder (will get wsad soon). So I planted the classes from the example in
C:\Borland\JBuilder\jkd1.4\jre\lib\ext\...the classes
Then I copied the code from the example to my jpx project and got an error that it could not connect to the socket. The only thing I changed in the code was the connection string:
--original string from example:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://1433", "");
I was getting an error with the 2 argument version of DriverManager - and the second argument here was empty (properties argument). Here was my connection string:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://Myserver:1433;User=sa;Password=");
I am only using the 1 argument version of DriverManager. Note that the password=" is blank because my RnD workstation is standalone - no one accesses the sql server except me - so no password. I also left out the last semicolon I noticed. Any suggestions appreciated how I could fix this.
Thanks

Sample code: Accessing MS SQL Server database from the iSeries
Eitan Rosenberg

Rating: --- (out of 5)
Nowadays with the help of Java the iSeries can be integrated with other databases quite easy. This tip shows you how. The code included here uses the free Microsoft driver that can be downloaded from here. (SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3)
If your SQL server does not include the Northwind Sample Database you can find it here.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=07287b11-0502-461a-b138-2aa54bfdc03a&displaylang=en
The download contains the following files:
msbase.jar
mssqlserver.jar
msutil.jar
Those files needs to be copied to the iSeries directories (/home/r_eitan/ExternalJARs).
Here's the directory structure (on the iSeries) for this sample:
/home/r_eitan/ExternalJARs - Microsoft files (msbase.jar,mssqlserver.jar,msutil.jar)
/home/r_eitan/JdbcTest02 - My code (Main.java,Main.class)
The Java code
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
class Main {
* Connect to Microsoft SQL server and download file northWind.products as tab
* seperated file. (products.txt)
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
PrintStream outPut = new PrintStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("products.txt")));
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
//Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://1433", "");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://Myserver:1433;User=sa;Password=");
System.out.println("Connection Done");
connection.setCatalog("northWind");
String sqlCmdString = "select * from products";
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(sqlCmdString);
ResultSetMetaData resultSetMetaData = resultSet.getMetaData();
int columnCount = resultSetMetaData.getColumnCount();
// Iterate throught the rows in resultSet and

switch(resultSetMetaData.getColumnType(index))
case 2 :
case 3 :
value = resultSet.getString(index);

break;
outPut.print(value + (index < columnCount ? "t" : ""));
outPut.println();
outPut.close();

My guess is that the server's host name isn't right. It necessarily (or even usually) the "windows name" of the computer. Try with the numeric IP address instead (type "ipconfig" to see it).
First aid check list for "connection refused":
- Check host name in connect string.
- Check port number in connect string.
- Try numeric IP address of server host in connect string, in case name server is hosed.
- Are there any firewalls between client and server blocking the port.
- Check that the db server is running.
- Check that the db server is listening to the port. On the server, try: "telnet localhost the-port-number". Or "netstat -an", there should be a listening entry for the port.
- Try "telnet serverhost the-port-number" from the client, to see if firewalls are blocking it.
- If "telnet" fails: try it with the numeric ip address.
- If "telnet" fails: does it fail immediately or after an obvious timeout? How long is the timeout?
- Does the server respond to "ping serverhost" or "telnet serverhost" or "ssh serverhost"?

Questions about the future directions of InfoPath and Microsoft Access

Because I have been confused about the future directions of InfoPath and Access, I wrote a short blog post, which I have pasted below. My question is, can Microsoft provide some more guidance on Access vs InfoPath? If Access is indeed the
the future direction, can you please provide some pointers to resources that can help us transition.
A Short Review of MS Access, SharePoint ,InfoPath (2013)
After the November 2012 SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas (#spc12) there were a number of blog posts and people saying that Access 2013 was great and would be replacing InfoPath.
Marc Anderson and
Ruven
Gotz have short posts summarizing #SPC12 and touch on the subject of InfoPath and Access. I also spoke with several individuals shortly after #SPC12 and they were excited about Access 2013.
Since I rely heavily on InfoPath for much of what I do, I wanted to kick the tires and see what everyone was talking about. First, a few notes about SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013.
Microsoft should rename Access: If you have tried to
bing the word Access, then you know that the search results are overwhelming, because the word "access" is used for so many other purposes.
Use the RTM version of Office 2013! I was performing my investigations by leveraging the Office 365 Beta and the Office Applications that come with it. Not much was working! After I uninstalled the Beta
version of Office 2013 and Installed the RTM version everything seemed to work.
Windows 7 and IE 9.0: The drag & drop that is being touted as
"manna from heaven" seems to work well with Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and IE 10, but it does
not work with IE 9!
Non Microsoft browsers are still second class citizens (except for the drag & drop): Microsoft has finally done away with the Active X's for datasheet view (that is brilliant!) One can now see the newly
minted datasheet view in many browsers. But I still find that one needs to be in IE to do a number of key manual opeartions. For example pasting numerous rows of data from a spreadsheet into the new sheet view works only in IE.
Access 2013
Microsoft Access is touted as a non developer tool. I know a number of people who are on the business side and love Access. These people will like the renewed energy that Microsoft has applied to Access. One should note that conceptually
this functionality existed in SharePoint 2010. Here is what I see that is new:
+The new version works better:Although I haven't tested it fully, it seems that many more features that work on the Desktop version of Access, now work in the published Web Application which is hosted by SharePoint 2013.
+The new version has fairly robust browser based forms: End users can now fill in data using forms that are rendered in the browser.
+The published version that resides in SharePoint now uses its own SQL server tables. So the engine appears to be SQL Server, not a modified version of Access built for a server. This stands to be quite robust, but I imagine
that some quirks will surface due to new model.
The limitations are:
- Access is pretty much its own application and does not integrate with SharePoint building blocks. For example, an Access table is not easy to integrate with a SharePoint workflow. Further, although Access forms now are visible
in a browser, they are not nearly as rich as InfoPath forms. InfoPath forms cannot easily integrate with the Access tables. In order to integrate SharePoint features and Access, one needs to tie SharePoint list(s) to Access as data sources.
This overcomplicates the model and one may very well run into synchronization issues.
In short, although I believe there will be some people who will be happy with newly minted Access, I do not think that Access will be able to replace InfoPath and Workflow technologies. I do agree that Microsoft does not seem to have put much energy into
InfoPath. If they leave a vacuum in this space, then others may very well take over, for instance Nintex Forms.

Although I agree with the comments made by Ruven and Marc after the conference please note that those blog posts are their own personal opinions and that they don't work for Microsoft. A lot of people have asked Microsoft to clarify the future of InfoPath
and the response up until now has been a deafening silence. In my opinion speculations about Access replacing InfoPath are premature.
I should also point out that most of your comments about Access 2013 above are actually about Access Services in SharePoint Server 2013. Access Services are NOT Access they are a shared service offering in SharePoint that convert and publish Access
databases and forms. As you point out once an Access database is published through Access services it is converted to SQL Server and no longer resides in Access. Of course I don't work for Microsoft either so these are all just my personal opinion.
Having said that I doubt you will get the confirmation/response that you are hoping for from any official Microsoft channel.

The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file \\fileserver\db\access.mdb

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard SP1. I am using linked server, and Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable to access my database file made in Microsoft Access (.mdb) from network file server.
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'
My SQL service is running with domain service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$ , i have added Full control for file share and NTFS permission on my file server folder (C:\Files).
When I open (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my DB server SQL Management studio, I can browse tables and everything works.
The problem is, if I open SQL management studio (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my File server or any other computer, when trying to browse my linked server i got error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&LinkId=20476
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Synesis_3PRO2013". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=11.00.3000&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=7303&LinkId=20476
When I try to place simlpe Select SQL query I got error:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "MyLinkedServer" returned message "The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file '\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another
user, or you need permission to view and write its data.".
I do not have any other program using my access database, and user has full control. I am trying to use in security mode - "For a login not defined in the list above, connections will be made without using a security context", i have also tried all four options.
I am confused becouse it works from SQL server but from any SQL client domain member computer/server it does not work.
I have same problem in another environment where I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
Please help.

NTFS must be fine since it works from same server using same accounts.
As I understand, adding my access file to Access trusted location could be a problem. I have tried now to add my access database file location to trusted locations for user which is my SQL service user (Windows Service - AD managed service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$)
and my test user which I use to connect to sql server as a client from sql management studio. (Account is Domain Admins and have full permissions on SQL server also)
I have added this .reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Documents]
"LastPurgeTime"=dword:01592874
"DisablePromptOpenNetworkTrustedDocuments"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations]
"AllowNetworkLocations"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\Location0]
"Description"="My file server"
"AllowSubFolders"=dword:00000001
"Path"="\\\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\\files\\"
I have done this for SQL service account user and my personal test account as I said. I have tried to logoff and restart sql service and all servers also.
The same problem still persists.
Anyway, thank you for giving me a hint.
