Migrating An Access Database To SQL

by Joel Tipke 12. November 2009 04:09

If you need to migrate an Access database to SQL this tool works. I've used it successfully on a few projects, one of them a very old Access databse.

http://www.microsoft.com/Sqlserver/2005/en/us/migration-access.aspx

The only issue I ever ran into was nvarchar(MAX) fields in a classic asp application showing up blank. The fix for this was to just go into the SQL database and set a specific size nvarchar(255) or similiar based on your actual requirements for the field. I think the driver specifed in the connection string was ancient and didn't know about a (MAX) datatype.... Just a guess though...

VistaDB.net is a good alternitive to Access.  And its very easy to convert over from SQL.

Hi I just wanted to find out on what is the difference between blogenenigne and wordpress blogs? Is it easier to use or more efficient? I amseeing a lot of blogs powered by this software popping up lately and wondering if it is better or not? Thanks...
