We run a daily job to load Exact Online into a SQL Server database for reporting purposes with Sumatra.
We now want to redirect the SQL insert statement to another database on the same SQL Server.
Connections are:
<connection name="EOLIN_MUT" ...>
<database order="20" alias="eol" provider="ExactOnlineAll" connectionString="apiUrl=https://start.exactonline.nl;api-client-id=SOMETHING;apiredirecturl=https://eolclientredirect.invantive.com" />
<database order="10" alias="sql" provider="SqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=something;UID=datahub;PWD=moresecrets" AllowConnectionStringRewrite="false" />
I've already change the name of the connection from EOLIN to EOLIN_MUT but without result.
How can I redirect to another database?
You have three alternatives that you can use:
Change default database of user
Change default database on connection
Switch database.
To change default database of the user, have you SQL Admin change it in SQL Server. There is no database listed yet in your connection string.
To change default database of connection, see connectionstrings.com on SQL Server. Add database=NAME; to your connection string in settings.xml.
To switch database, change the Invantive SQL script you use by adding:
use XYZ#sql
where XYZ is the intended default database on SQL Server and sql is the alias on the SQL Server data container.
With use, you can also select multiple data containers, such as:
use XYZ#sql, 123123#eol, 456456#eol
which select XYZ on SQL Server and companies/administrations/divisions 123123 and 456456 on Exact Online with alias eol. More documentation on use statements.
Please note that the default SQL Server provider of Invantive does NOT allow you to select multiple database to be used for a query. So when using Exact Globe or Navision, you will need to explicitly include all companies in your query.

I have an Access 2019 front-end database that links to a SQL Server 2017 Express database.
I'd like to export a table or query from the VBA code in the front-end into an Access (Jet) format database (as a portable data format to use for updating a remote site)
The code I've tried (for a table called FileLocation) is:
Access.DBEngine.CreateDatabase "C:\Temp\ExportTest3.mdb", DB_LANG_GENERAL
docmd.TransferDatabase transfertype:=acExport, databasetype:="Microsoft Access",databasename:="c:\temp\ExportTest3.mdb", objecttype:=acTable, source:="FileLocation", destination:="FileLocation", structureonly:=false
This "works" but the table created in the ExportTest3 database is a link to the SQL database (with the Connect property set in MSysObjects) so is dependant on the SQL Server connection, but I'm looking for an independant portable .mdb file that can be read on any PC.
Edit: I've discovered that I can use
docmd.RunSQL "select * into FileLocationLocal from FileLocation"
and then use TransferDatabase to export the FileLocationLocal table as a non-linked table
But is there a way to do this as a single step, or is there a better approach?
Consider:
Access.DBEngine.CreateDatabase "C:\Temp\ExportTest3.mdb", DB_LANG_GENERAL
CurrentDb.Execute "SELECT FileLocation.* INTO FileLocation IN 'C:\Temp\ExportTest3.mdb' FROM FileLocation"
I have a database in Oracle and a database in SQL Server.
I want to write a query in Oracle and I need to use one of SQL Serever table in it.
Before I used database link but now I must to do this with ODI (Oracle Data Integrator).
The way I used before:
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK "DBLINK"
CONNECT TO "MatrisApp" IDENTIFIED BY VALUES ':1'
USING 'dg4msql';
INSERT
INTO everyday_deposit_temp ***/*this is a table in oracle*/***
(
"DEP_ID",
"REF_DEPOSIT_TYPE",
"REF_DEPOSIT_SUB_TYPE",
"LEDGER_CODE_SELF"
)
SELECT "DEP_ID",
"REF_DEPOSIT_TYPE",
"REF_DEPOSIT_SUB_TYPE",
"LEDGER_CODE_SELF"
FROM dbo.vw_deposit_changed#dblink
Please help me with this
The most common way to get data from MS SQL Server to Oracle through ODI is to use LKM MSSQL to ORACLE (BCP SQLLDR).
Now if you really want to use a dblink, I would try this approach:
Duplicate a Oracle IKM you want to use
In the definition tab, check the Multi-Connections checkbox and set Microsoft SQL Server for the Source Technology.
In the Options tab, add a new option DBLINK_NAME with Value type.
In the Tasks tab, find the task responsible of the insert and edit the target command to add this after the table name : #<%=odiRef.getOption("DBLINK_NAME")%>
Create a mapping using the new IKM. In the Physical tab, click on the target table and add the dblink name in the Option.
I have got a query which is as below:
SELECT * FROM thema.."<view_name>".
When I check all the schema in the db, I am not able to see any schema name called thema. Is it something which is internal to sql server 2008?
SQL Server uses up to four parts in a name: server.database.schema.table. If you omit the schema name (f.e. dbname..tablename) SQL Server will use the default schema for your user.
My SQL Server database table has a column that needs to be Updated with data from an MS Access file. How do I query the MS Access data to perform such an update?
Import Wizard seems to only handle Inserting of new data and not UPDATE existing data? Or am I misunderstanding how to use the wizard?
Sounds like you want to run that operation from the SQL Server side ... "pull" the Access data into SQL Server. If so, you can set up the Access file as a linked server within SQL Server. I've not done that, but have read cases where other people have. I copied these steps from How can I link a SQL Server database to MS Access using link tables in MS Access? at SQLServerPedia.
1) Open EM.
2) Goto the Server to which you want to add it as linked server.
3) Then goto security > Linked Servers section from console tree.
4) Right click on the Client area. Then New Linked Server.
5) Give a name and Specify Microsoft Jet 4.0 as Provider string.
6) Provide the location of the MDB file.
7) Click OK.
Alternatively, you could run the operation from the Access side, and push the data to SQL Server. If that could work for you, use Olivier's instructions to set up the ODBC-linked SQL Server table. Or you do it without creating a DSN: Using DSN-Less Connections.
Either way you link the table, the UPDATE statement you run from within Access might then be as simple as:
UPDATE
linked_table AS dest
INNER JOIN local_table AS src
ON dest.pkey_field = src.pkey_field
SET dest.access_data = src.access_data
WHERE
dest.access_data <> src.access_data
OR dest.access_data Is Null;
First set up a ODBC DSN in Windows. Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC). Note that on 64 bit Windows, this might open the 64-bit-administrator. However, if you have a 32-bit Access, you need the 32-bit-administrator (%windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe).
Then you can link the SQL-Server tables to your access db. In the Link Tables dialog, choose "ODBC Databases()" as file type.
You can then query the linked SQL Server tables as if they were access tables.

I have a MS SQL Server Database in house (but on a different network) that I am trying to connect to via cold fusion. However I keep getting this error: "Datasource could not be found."
Remote connections are enabled including tcpip.
Account name is correct. I can log in via test without any problems.
Here is my code:
<cfquery
name="getIT"
datasource="RemoteServerName_OR_ipAddress.DATABASE_NAME.dbo"
username="test"
password="test"
>
It looks like you need to set up the datasource in the Coldfusion Administrator.

You need to first set up the datasource in ColdFusion Administrator, then use the datasource name - see the documentation adding data sources
