As you'll recall, we were chatting about this the other day. Since I
already had code to connect to an Access DB from a previous project (which
was linked to FoxPro tables -- yecch!), I modified it a bit to work with a
new project that needs data imported from an Access DB to SQL Server. The
way I went about it is to create a linked server in SQL Server, using an
OLEDB Jet 4.0 connection to Access:
<cfquery ...>
USE Master
<!--- Drops the linked server if it exists already --->
EXEC sp_dropserver mylinkedserver, droplogins
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'mylinkedserver',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = '[absolute_path_to_mdb_file]'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin accessdbname, FALSE, username, password
</cfquery>
<cfquery ...>
<!--- Extract data from the access db and into SQL Server. This creates the
tables in sql server as well --->
SELECT *
INTO [tablename]
FROM linkedservername...[tablename]
</cfquery>
To transform the data using native Access functions, you can use SQL
Server's OPENQUERY() function:
<cfquery ...>
<!--- Extract data from the access db and into SQL Server --->
SELECT
DOB
INTO
tablename
FROM
OPENQUERY
(mylinkedserver,
SELECT
IIF(YEAR(DOB)<1753 OR
YEAR(DOB)>9999,NULL,DOB) AS DOB
FROM
tablename
)
</cfquery>
