upsizing ms access 2007 db to sql server 2008 - sql-server

i keep getting an error:
The upsizing wizard does not work with this version of SQL Server to which your access project is connected.
has anyone else seen this issue.

There is another version of the Upsizing Wizard: Migrating to SQL Server 2008
It's called the SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access (SSMA Access) and you can download here.

You can use DBWScript to generate sql scripts, such as CREATE TABLE.

Migration of SQL Server 2012 database to Oracle 12c

I'm trying to migrate a SQL Server 2012 database backup file, which I wanted to migrate to Oracle 12c. I tried to use SQL Developer tool for migration using this reference:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
The problem is in SQL Developer tool, I didn't see any option where I can generate database capture script for SQL Server 2012, because there is no option which is showing up there.
I'm open for other suggestions as well. the SQL Server is installed on my same system, where I've installed Oracle 12c, so even if there is way by which we can directly connect with SQL Server on my local system.
Hello for migration from SQL SERVER to Oracle. There are many articles are available on web. You can google it. For as one reference use this article and try for migration of data.

SQL Server Migration Assistant - How to migrate access to SQL Server 2008 r2?

I'm trying to migrate our Access Database to a database on SQL Server 2008 R2.
When I try to migrate it, I get an error message:
You cannot connect to an older version (SQL Server 2008) of target SQL Server from a higher version SSMA project (Project type = SQL Server 2014)
I downloaded and did a 'Typical' installation of 'Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v5.3 for Access' but when it loads, I get the loading screen for a brief second that says 'Microsoft SQL Server 2014' and then the Migration Assistant loads.
I try and migrate my databases but at the end, I get the above error message.
I have MS Sql Server 2014 Management Studio installed on my computer. Perhaps, the migration assistant is using the native engine to load the Migration Assistant? Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
During the migration, you get a screen where you can specify the Migration name and the path for the Migration Project. In that same window, there is another drop-down where you can specify what you would like to migrate to. The choices are SQL Server 2014, 2012, 2008 and 2005.
I selected 2008 from the drop-down in the 'Migrate To:' field and clicked on Next.
Migration was eventually successfully completed.

Unable to retrieve tables from SQL Server using Oracle's sql developer

I am unable to browse SQL Server tables using Oracle's SQL Developer. I am able to connect to SQL Server using SQL Developer, but when I try to expand the database in SQL Server, I get this error:
in newer version (Oracle IDE 19.2.0.206.2117 with Thirty party jtds-1.3.1.jar) of Oracle SQL Developer it is working.

Proper way to Import data from Access to SQL Server?

I'm asking for the proper way, in SQL Server's T-SQL (I think that's what it is) code or using another language, to import data from a Microsoft Access MDB Database into a new SQL Server Database.
Now, typically I would just import it in. The problem is I'm writing a .SQL script (I could use another technology if needed) to do all this leg work as this will need to be done fairly regularly. Likely at least once a week, for about 5 months in the year.
To digress a tad, I had wanted to implement a single database and distinguish separate source database using something like a DatabaseID field, but the powers that be overthrew me there.
I was previously using SQL Server Management Studio 2012 with SQL Server 2008 running the T-SQL (on a production machine) that worked fine. I've now migrated to a local SQL Server Management Studio 2012 with SQL Server 2012 (for development) and the code that used to work doesn't anymore.
This code is what used to work: SELECT * INTO [dbo].[Controls] FROM OpenDataSource('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source=C:\Show.mdb; Jet OLEDB:Database Password=BobSaget')...[Control] The password has been obfuscated for security ...
That's likely a sloppy solution. What's the ideal way?
Thanks in advance!
I would recommend using Microsoft's SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access.
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool from Microsoft that simplifies database migration process from Access to SQL Server. SSMA for Access automates conversion of Microsoft Access database objects to SQL Server database objects, loads the objects into SQL Server, and then migrates data from Microsoft Access to SQL Server.
SSMA for Access v5.2 is designed to support migration from Microsoft Access 97 and higher to all editions of SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2012, and SQL Azure.
You can find it here.
You may need to fix the structure after the migration as it tends to over exaggerate many of the data types.
Have you checked your DCOM security on MSDAINITIALIZE?
I had this problem when moving to a local instance of SSMS 2012.

sharepoint 2007 from sql server to oracle

I installed WSS 2007 on one of our test server to see if sharepoint is worth going forward for our group. The problem is, it installed a version of sql server and we are using oracle. So, I will need to move sharepoint from sql server to oracle. We can't use sql server we have to use oracle.
I have two questions:
1. sql server to oracle transition for sharepoint
2. Is there a performance drawback when we move from sql server to oracle with sharepoint.
I tried to look for resources on web but couldn't find much. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
This is not possible - SharePoint can only run on SQL Server:
Installation Guide for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
The database server must be running
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 with the most recent
service pack.
Enterprise Sharepoint? – Port it to Oracle
I have concluded my only real problem
with SharePoint is that you can’t run
it on Oracle.
If you had shown me SharePoint, not
told me it was from Microsoft and said
you can use it with Oracle as a back
end, I am sure my reaction to it would
have been far different.
