how to convert sql server database to access database

[bimaljr]

Hi
I want to convert Sql Server Database to Access Database ,

I have one database and it has different tables and view also.

please help me how to do this ?

Make a new Access database. Go to the tables tab and right click in the large whitespace area. Select Import. You'll need an odbc connection to your SQL database. You can import all of your tables at once.

For your views, I would try copying and pasting the views SQL into queries. I don't think it will work to import them as queries, and there will probably be some differences in the SQL between Access and MS SQL.

Additionally, if you have to perform this task any more, its quite easy to build a SSIS package to do it for you. That way having a fresh new Access DB is only a click away.

anyone know how to do this in coding vb.net????

Primary Key in SQL Server is call Identity (as far as I Know), and the PK in Access is called, well, Primary Key, you just right click in the field you want it to be Pkey and activate the golden key icon; this is donde under Design View.
Remember to set the pkey to int and autoincremetal, to be compliant whit the atomic properties of a DB.

Hopes this helps

In vb.net, for the structures and data, well, i think that simple SQL queries will do. Just CREATE TABLE XYZ all the tables that are in SQL Server and INSERT INTO... the data.
