In my SQL Server database I need to mantain the tables linked and in sync with the tables of an MS Access .mdb file.
Lets say I update something or add something in the MS Access database via my own application.
I want those changes reflected in the SQL Server database.
I need a way to push the updates to the SQL Server database, or a way to update the SQL Server database with the new data when I connecto to it.
Trying to be clear: source must be the .mdb file database and destination must be the SQL server database. I need to keep them in sync.
Both databases have the same tables.
I have read a lot of posts, even this one: From SQL Server how do I read from an MS Access database to UPDATE data in one or more table columns? that seems to be the solution, but I can figure out the steps.
The official tool for this is:
SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access (AccessToSQL)
It has a migration feature that, when run, will replicate (adjust) the table schema in the database in SQL Server to match that of the Access database.

I'm trying to migrate a SQL Server 2016 database to SQL Azure via Data Migration Assistant. All the database tables are created, including the temporal ones, but only the temporal ones are missing data. Both main and history tables are completely empty.
Does anyone know if I have to do something special here to get this data filled in? Or do I unfortunately have to move this data over manually?
Specific to your scenario, if migration is the only concern, you can use SSMS to migrate the complete database with some easy steps. I tried it and there is no issue with the Temporal tables. All the temporal tables with data are migrating.
Follow the below steps:
Right click on the database you want to migrate. Select Task and from dropdown options select Deploy Database to Microsoft Azure SQL Database
Click on Next on pop-up window. On the very next window you will get options to connect your Azure SQL Server. Provide your Azure SQL server name, server credentials and click on Connect.
Provide the name for new database that will be creating in Azure SQL Server. Fill the Azure SQL Database settings as per your requirement. Click on Next.
Lastly, you will get a summary of all the settings you have done. Click on Finish to migrate the database.
Once your database migrated successfully, you will get summary with Operation Complete message. Click on Close. Your database has been migrated.
Check for the new database on Azure Portal and verify the data.
I have an external application that uses a MS Access database to store its data.
I do not want to touch anything here, because the application works very good for me.
I have now created a own application and now I need the data from the MS Access database in my application. My application uses SQL Server.
Is it possible to sync the existing MS Access database with a new SQL Server database, so that I can query the MS Access database through my SQL Server?
I really don't want a linked table in MS Access because this can not work since I can not change the application that uses the MS Access database, and it would also be great if I don't have to query from the MS Access database.
I really need a tool the reads data from MS Access and writes it into my SQL Server and the other way around so they always have the same data.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have DB in my SQL Server. I want to replicate the same DB with all the Views inside it into Azure and sync the same SQL Server DB with replicated DB on Azure on daily basis.
I have no idea about Azure.
You can migrate a SQL Server 2005 or later database to a single or pooled database in Azure SQL Database. For best performance during the import process, it’s better to drop indexed views and recreate them once finished. For more details, you may refer to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-cloud-migrate.
You can set up Azure SQL Data Sync by creating a hybrid sync group that contains both Azure SQL Database and SQL Server instances. For more details on how to achieve this, you may refer to this document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-get-started-sql-data-sync.
Note: Does SQL Data Sync fully create and provision tables?
Views and Stored Procedures are not created on the destination database.
You can use SQL Data Sync to sync the base tables of your views but SQL Data Sync cannot sync views. Sync data from views is quite complex and not always achievable and for that reason SQL Data Sync does not do it.
Use the step-by-step procedure described here to configure the synchronization. You need to make your SQL Server instance a "hub", your SQL Azure Database a "member" on the sync configuration. Configure the "Sync frequency" parameter/field to occur every X days or X hours.

I need to sync SQL server database with the Interbase DB. Interbase is the live DB and main application works on this. Now customer wants to cerate an SQL server database and sync it with the live interbase database once everyday. All historical reports will be generated from the SQL Server database.
The Interbase DB does not have timestamp or any column that contains time. Hence I cound not found any way to identify new (and modified also) records. Any idea?
