I have to extract data from Microsoft Dynamics NAV and save it as CSV files. And I am trying to do it by creating an SSIS package.
Is there a way I can find the corresponding SQL table to a NAV table?
I remember one of the developers using a tool called 'Zoom' to view the tables. I do have access to Zoom but not sure how to find the underlying SQL table.
Tables on SQL server named the same as in Nav plus two things:
Not allowed characters are replaced with underscore. So "G/L entry" will become "G_L Entry"
If table exist for each company then company name with dollar sign as separator is added before table name. Like this "Cronus$G_L Entry".

I am trying to insert data into some related table in SQL Server 2008R2 and I am trying to figure out whether there is an easier way to insert data manually (visually) using the related columns and not the IDs. If you check the two snapshots of the tables and table WFUserGroup basically I am trying to see if I can have a bound query (like in MS ACCESS) where I can see the Name column instead of the ID and the name of the Group instead of the group_id
I know that with a TRANSACTION block and INSERT INTO statements I can create a new user in WFUser table and then relate it to a group in the WFUserGroup table, but I am telling myself there should be an easier way. Anyone knows a workaround?

Using Edit Top 200 Rows Feature:
You could use a flat file with data in a .csv or excel and use the Import feature in SQL server.
how to navigate, right click on the database and tasks--> Import then the wizard to select the necessary file and tables.
I do see that there are primary key and foreign keys so you have to make sure that its considered in your files you are going to import.
Need to migrate data from Sql tables to SharePoint 2013 lists. The database size is approximately 80 GB and need to move the contents from Sql tables to SharePoint lists with same schema.
Just want to know if there is any tool available for this. Or do we need to create an application (probably in .net) to fetch data from Sql and write back to SharePoint lists.
Any suggestions.
Try to see this article:
How to: Create an External Content Type Based on a SQL Server Table
In addition, see CodePlex, if you will use SSIS to perform the exportSharePoint List Source and Destination in the Microsoft SQL Server Community Samples: Integration Services project on CodePlex.
Using current toolchain you may consider using this path:
Open Excel
Add a data connection to your SQL Server
Import all data you want to have as a SharePoint list - you got a sheet now
Save as *.xlsx file
Go to SharePoint 365, select "New List"
Choose "Import from Excel" in the "New" dialog
There appears a sheet preview where you can adjust column types (most likely needed)
Click "Next", give the list a name (you may need to remove the silly Guid attached to the generated name, apart from this the name is the table name)
Click "Create"
Done
For a single table with roughly 800 records it takes 2 mins approx.
I have been using Oracle Catalog Manager to determine which reports are being affected by RPD columns. I'm wondering if there is any ORACLE table where all these data is kept.
For example, by using SQL, am I able to get these data:
How are the report columns defined back in metadata?
What are the OBIEE objects (Analysis, BIP Reports, Prompts and filters etc.) that are being referenced by a column(s)?
How are columns mapped through metadata?
Who are the owners of reports?
Presentation Catalog objects are not stored in a database. They are XML files on the file system in the folder structure holding your catalog!
What you want to get you get through Catalog Manager the fat client tool or through the command line runcat.sh/cmd which is basically Catalog Manager wihtout a GUI
I am creating a report in Crystal reports from a set of SQL database tables I have two tables that are to be linked, when I select the two tables and then go to set the links, the field that I need to select for the link in one of the tables is missing from the list of fields in the database expert links tab. Upon further inspection a number of fields are missing, there doesn't seem to be any specific field type or order or reason to why these fields are missing. I also found if I just use that one single table to create a report, all fields show in the field explorer. Also if I use the two tables and select a different available field to link the tables, all of the fields show in the field explorer. So all the fields are there and contain data and work correctly however when in the database expert, Links tab, a number of fields do not display in the one table. I have created probably over 1000 different reports and used many combinations of tables (just not this particular table) and have never seen this problem. This table has about 120 fields (which is larger than most that I use) and only 80 of those fields show in the database expert links tab. I am using Crystal Reports 11.5.8.826, SQL Server2008 R2. I have tried starting over, rebooting, etc.. Thinking it may be some sort of limitation to how many fields are listed in the links tab?
Appears that the missing fields were Text fields. Had to change the data type in SQL to varchar. Not sure why, but Crystal Reports doesn't allow text fields for SQL for file links.
Very new to the world of advanced access and SQL Server 2005. I have now developed all my tables in SQL Server and added them to my blank database now in access using a ODBC connection. This topic is just for advice really, what would be the best way for me to create a form so that users within the company can input customer data without having to go onto SQL?
I have three tables 'Customer Table' 'Enquiry Source' & 'Admin Staff' - the 'Enquiry Source' & 'Admin Staff' consist of Enquiry Source ID, Enquiry Source Name, Admin Staff ID & Admin Staff Name which than have a link to the Customer Table.
When updating the tables myself in the SQL Side I use the ID's as integers but now I am in access I would like my users to be able to update these using the appropriate names on a list box. I have created a View in SQL and exported it to access but when I complete all the information and try and save the record it won't allow me to update multiple tables - which I understand is due to it being a View.
Is there an easier way of doing this so my teams can add new customers on the MS access front end system?
The Enquiry Sources are names of methods of referal: Newspaper, Recommendation, Google etc
The Admin Staff are names of employees creating the Customer.
Thanks Guys!
Callum
Link the three tables or three simple views on the tables. Use the form wizard to create a form based on the customer table. Use the list box or combo box wizard to create a control based on each of the two look-up tables. See create form to add records in multiple tables for some notes on how to use the wizards.
