Hi

I currently use version 3.3.03 with an access database but I would like to use the latest version and keep all members. I don't have to keep the posts that have been made, but I do want to keep all the members.

Could this be done?

I would advise you to upgrade from 3.3.x to 3.4.03 still using access. All members and posts and configuration data will be maintained, as long as you specify your existing database in the config.asp file for the new version.

After you have 3.4.03 running ok with Access, then upgrade to SQL Server.

There are several posts explaining how to upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4 and from Access to SQL Server.

3.3.->3.4: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=39276&SearchTerms=,upgrade,3.4.03
Both issues: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=45729

I suggest that you follow these recommendations.

Hi


But when I look in the access database there are relations between the database tables, and when I look in the newly created tables with all the transfered data in the SQL database there are no relations and all the primary keys are missing. Why is that and how do I correct that?

What exactly do you mean primary keys are missing? Where? In the Access DB?

No they are there in the Access database and everything works fine if I use the Access database. But when I use DTS to import the access database to the SQL server 2000 database there are no primary keys what so ever in any of the database tables.....

I have set up the database and created all the database tables. I have also upgraded the Acces databas without problem.
My next thing to do is to use DTS to transfer all the current data into the newly created SQL Database.


So I wonder what settings of the one below I should use.


Transformation - Column Mapping
* Create destination table
* Delete rows in destination table
* Append rows to destination table

And there are two check boxes....
* Drop and recreate destination table
* Enable Identity insert

You need to let Snitz create the new tables in the sql database, then use DTS to move just the data in the tables. DTS doesn't seem to be able to transfer primary keys, default values, and other indices/constraints between Access and SQL Server.

Identity Insert and Append Rows, I believe.

Identity Insert, yes, but you should use Delete Rows instead of Append Rows, to delete the data created by Snitz during table creation.

Lin, this was clearly stated in the post about Access to SQL Server migration I posted a link to in my first post. Had you read it carefully, you'd see there would be no need to ask again.
