Hi,
Having done this for a while... thought, we have essentially two options,
a) using Access's Upsizing Wizard
b) using MS SQL Server's built-in DTS capability or its equivalent
Background info:
The Access I have is 2000 and I have 3 instances of MS Server running,
one is 2000, one is Express (2005?) and another SBiz, none of them
have the DTS equivalent for importing an Access DB.
My computer is: a 64bit Windows 7 Professional with 4GB RAM.
Solution attempts:
Attempted the above a) option, received err msg: "overflow", googled
solution at Microsoft site is no longer available.
For option b), none of the SQL Server instance and its management
studio express has DTS equivalent.
Downloaded an eval copy of SQL Server 2012 (standard edition), installation failed because .NET FRAMEWORK 4 failed to be installed and err msg is: generic trust issue. Attempted to install this framework separately failed as well.
Since my goal is to import an Access database to a SQL Server (not too specific about its version, preferably 2008 and above), so, which SQL Server version (eval/trial ) might have a better chance to be installed with either DTS or SSIS?
Thanks in advance.
