access thread: Transfer info from Access to SQL


Message #1 by "Simon Garstin" <sgarstin@t...> on Thu, 6 Dec 2001 11:15:23
Hi all,



I have a web site which uses Access database. We want to transfer the site 

to a new host using SQL server.



The Access database can obviously be downloaded to my PC. 

What we then need is a quick way to then "read" the Access database 

configuration and data, eg. into a file, which can then be uploaded and 

quickly "written" to the on-line SQL Server database so that it has the 

same configuration and data. 



The MYSQL database uses the command "mysqldump" in this way and it's very 

effective - it takes about as long as the time to type a couple of 

commands and do a quick FTP upload.



Is there a similar way to do this with Microsoft ?







thanks



Simon Garstin

Try using the following:



SQL SERVER/Enterprice Manager/Right-click database/All tasks/Import.....

Thanks Helga,



unfortunately I may not have access to Enterprise Manager becuase it will be

on someone else's server.



Also *what* would I import, and how would I generate it (the thing to

import) from Access ?



cheers
