MS Access versus SQL Server

Folks,
I've created a Crystal Report, querying SQL Server. I'm wanting to change the datasource location to an MS Access db (db and table structure exactly the same) but the query fails.
Here's the query against MS SQL Server and succeeds:
SELECT "AddressList"."AddressLine1", "AreaAddressList"."AreaID", "AreaAddressList"."ProjectUPRN", "Area"."AreaDescription"
FROM ("test"."dbo"."AddressList" "AddressList" LEFT OUTER JOIN "test"."dbo"."AreaAddressList" "AreaAddressList" ON "AddressList"."ProjectUPRN"="AreaAddressList"."ProjectUPRN") INNER JOIN "test"."dbo"."Area" "Area" ON "AreaAddressList"."AreaID"="Area"."AreaID"
Here's the query against MS Access and fails:
SELECT `AddressList`.`AddressLine1`, `AreaAddressList`.`AreaID`, `AreaAddressList`.`ProjectUPRN`, `Area`.`AreaDescription`
FROM (`AddressList` `AddressList` LEFT OUTER JOIN `AreaAddressList` `AreaAddressList` ON `AddressList`.`ProjectUPRN`=`AreaAddressList`.`ProjectUPRN`) INNER JOIN `Area` `Area` ON `AreaAddressList`.`AreaID`=`Area`.`AreaID`
any ideas?
thanks

Hi Poonam Thorat,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm unable to create a command object using the query. The error I'm getting is along the lines of '...Microsoft Jet Database Engine...Join expression not supported...'
I've managed to solve this particular problem by rejigging my query. I've come to the conclusion that it's a limitation of the Jet db engine, but would like to know what exactly the limitation is!
Regards,
dom

How can I develope a native mobile cross platform app that can access an SQL server.

I would do it in html5 as a web app but I also need to access an SQL server and upload data(text) pictures from the camera and
geolocation data etc.
I've developed many web based applications, but this is this first attempt to integrate native device functions AND interact with an SQL database.
So it would have to be able to use form data then add a photo and geolocation and send everything to the database.
A site with examples and/or tutorials would be nice.
To make things worse, I'd also have to be able to work offline and re-sync when networks connections allow.
If a native app would be too complex, then I was thinking I might be able to develope an app that gathers data then
passes the info on to a browser to connect with the database.
But as much as possible I don't want to have to swing back and forth between a browser and an app.
Pete

Here is a page a I bookmarked a while back to use jQUERY to access a php scripts sitting on a server that can then interact with the database in the usual way. This means that you will be able to use DW to create the usual HTML CSS and jQuery to make an interactive app.
I havn't yet tried this but a quick look over the script looks good. Make sure you use php that sanitizes input.

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
09 Mar 2005
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
// output the columns for each row.
while (resultSet.next()) {
for (int index = 1; index <=columnCount; ++index)
String value;
switch(resultSetMetaData.getColumnType(index))
case 2 :
case 3 :
value = resultSet.getString(index);
break;
default :
value = """ + resultSet.getString(index) + """;
break;
outPut.print(value + (index < columnCount ? "t" : ""));
outPut.println();
outPut.close();
resultSet.close();
connection.close();
System.out.println("Done");
catch (SQLException exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
catch (Exception exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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"?

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..

MS Access querying SQL Server: How to configure Network ACL?

I need to set up a highly restrictive ACL for access to a particular SQL server in our network. This ACL will reside on our core switch at the "front door" of our network and permit access to the SQL server only using the ports that
are necessary. The purpose is to A) Try to keep unauthorized users from gaining access to the host server and B) Should someone somehow gain unauthorized access to the host server. keep them from being able to "hop off" to other PC's on
the network.
The server will be accessed by clients using MS Access to query the SQL database and bring back reports. A few admins are actually able to make minor changes to the database such as updating a user list or location list. In other words, both
read and write access is needed to the SQL database.
I know that the default SQL server port is 1433, but according to a Microsoft Support article I read, "client ports are assigned a random value between 1024 and 5000".
I was really hoping I could just put something like "permit PC1 access to SQL Server on Port 1433" in my ACL, but after reading the MS Support article it sounds like I've got to allow almost 4,000 ports through?
Could someone help demystify this for me so I can build the right ACL?

The tool to use is SQL Server Configuration Management.
But what you can configure is which port SQL Server listens to. Which port the client listens to is not controllable as far as I know. But that can of course be many, since a client can have many connections to SQL Server. (And the range is not
restricted to 1024-5000. I connected over TCP locally, and I see this with netstat -a
TCP 127.0.0.1:6621 NATSUMORI:ms-sql-s ESTABLISHED
Then again, I don't see why you would have to open any ports for the clients at all. I have never heard of this being a problem.

Using the -force command as Saleesh noted should work, but will kill your contacts. If it's just a few users that are acting up, you can restore the contacts from backup for these users (export-csuserdata before you start).
Is it all users, or just a handful?

BOXI R2 deployment on Solaris, data access to SQL Server and DB2

Have you deployed BusinessObjects XI Release 2 on Solaris and are accessing Microsoft SQL server 2000/2005? How about DB2? We had planned on using JDBC for SQL Server, and StarSQL 5.x for DB2. We are having trouble with configuration planning.Anyone have experience with this?

RH server 8 - upscaling from Access to SQL Server 2008?

Hi gang-
We are currently running RoboHelp Server 8 on the default Access database and Tomcat. We would like to increase the number of help projects that are tracked by the RH Server, and have concerns that Access will handle the increased load, so we are considering upsizing to SQL Server 2008.
Our IT people think this should be fairly straightforward, but want to know if Adobe provides any tool or has any recommendations when upsizing from Access to SQL Server.They are concerned about retaining things like primary and secondary keys, as well as any indexes that are currently in Access.
If anyone has experience with such a migration, please share!
Thanks,
-=Ed.

We are also currently on an Access DB and considering (have been for some time but that's a different story) upgrading to SQL Server. There is no migration tool from Access to SQL Server provided so you'd have to allow some additional effort if you want to retain the data. I am not an expert on DBs but I'm sure there are ways to migrate the data. I have found a few links when searching on Google. For example:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237980
Adobe does provide a cheat sheet at the link below which may be useful to you.

Any way of importing from Access to SQL Server?

I have a huge store of information in Access. But now I'm required to use SQL Server.
Is there any way of importing the information from Access to SQL Server by Java programming?
Or is there a manual way of doing that?
Thank you in advance.

I need to use Java because this is for a client. I
can't expect the client to follow those steps. As a
result, I want to create something simple for the
client to convert from Access to SQL Server.
Any other way of doing that?
That argument does not make sense.
There is no way that a 'client' is going to be able to manage MS SQL Server without understanding how it works. MS SQL Server is a complex database and requires at least some dedicated support, even if it is only part time.
For example consider the following:
-MS Access does not have a log file. MS SQL Server does. How is the log file going to be sized?
-If the log file fills up (like for a run away query) MS SQL Server comes to a screeching halt. How is that problem going to be fixed?
Now maybe you are going to provide that support, which means you can run those scripts. Or the client is going to support it in which case they need to have someone who understands it - and they will need to know how to run those scripts (since it is rather basic knowledge.)

Issue while accessing a SQL Server table over OTG

Hi,
I have been learning oracle for about 1.5 years and am just starting to learn some OTG pieces. I am wondering about an issue. The issue is:
"We need help with an issue we are having while accessing a SQL Server table over OTG. We are getting the following error message in Oracle :
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Oracle][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unicode conversion failed {HY000}
The column it is failing on is "-----------" in the view --------------- in the SQL Server database pointed to by the Oracle DB Link ------------------- thats created in the Oracle instances ---- and -----.
This was working before, but is now failing, we suspect its due to new multi-byte data being added to the base table in the above column."
I took out the details and added ---- instead. I am wondering your guys thoughts on fixing this issue and helping me learn along the way. Thanks

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response, here are the details:
1. What is the character set of the Oracle RDBMS being used. What is returned by -
select * from nls_database_parameters;
NLS_CHARACTERSET
AL32UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
UTF8
We get SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_C1_AS and 1252 as Collation Property and Code Page
The datatype of the column in question in SQL Server is nvarchar(100).
When I do a describe on the SQL Server view ( desc CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@------- ), I get the error below;
ERROR: object CK_DATA_FOR_OPL does not exist
Select * from CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@------ where rownum =1 does get me a row.
create table tmp_tab as
Select * from CK_DATA_FOR_OPL@----- where rownum =1;
desc tmp_tab shows the datatype of the said column in the table created in Oracle as NVARCHAR2(150).
Not sure why a column defined with size 100 in SQL Server should come across as 150 when seen over OTG. We see something similar in DB2 tables we access over OTG as well.

What is the best NLS config to be near the ACCESS or SQL Server characters set

Hi all,
I am working with an Oracle for Windows.
I have serious problems with my actual characters set.
What is the best NLS config to be near the ms-Access or SQL Server characters set behavior ?
For exemple :
I have a table with city names
I want to find the nearest >= city name of a given criteria. so i do this SQL
SELECT Nom FROM TLCommune WHERE Nom >= 'LIMOGES' ORDER BY Nom, Pays, Dept, Insee
This SELECT give this result under SQL plus worksheet (same via VB and ADO)
Why the cities from krosno to Limerick are listed regarding on the WHERE clause Nom >= 'LIMOGES' ?
NOM
krosno
La Manche et la Mer d'Irlande
Laesv
Lancashire
Landes
Lappi (Lappland)
Latviya
Legnica
Leicester and Rutland
Leipzig
Leningrad
NOM
Leon
Lirida
Leszno
Liberec
Libiria
Libye
Limburg
Limburg (Limbourg)
Limerick
LIMOGES <--------------------------------------- the city in the nom >= 'LIMOGES' in the SQL statement
LIMOGES-FOURCHES

Hi,
Try these steps:-
* Open the GUI of Root bridge
Go to Security/SSID Manager/create SSid/map it to the radio
* Under Client Authentication setting
Check the box Open authentication with no Addition ..
* Then click Apply
* Go to Ecryption Manager page
Under Ecryption Modes
Select Cipher ---TKIP
Under Encryption Keys
Select Encryption Key 2 ------Don't put any key ... Leave the box blank and key size be 128bit
Then click Apply
* Come back to SSID Manager page
Under Client Authenticated Key Management ..
Select Key Management:- Mandatory
Check the box:- WPA
Under WPA Pre-shared Key:- Type atleast 8 character key..
Click Apply:-
* Then we need to repeat the same settings on Other bridge except the station role will be non-root.
Now to troubleshoot...
* First make Bridge are able to talk to each when there is on security setup
* Set a simple Pre-shared Key ... example 1234567890 on both bridge .. Bridge will not associate if key mismatch..
Hope this will work for you.
