SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedures to MS Access 2000 Queries
hi all!
i would like to ask you guys regarding MS Access 2000 and SQL Server 2000: Is there a possibility that I could get all of my stored procedures from SQL Server 2000 to my MS Access 2000? If not, are there any other alternatives as to how I could transfer my stored procedures to MS Access (i.e. 3rd party applications that would generate a stored procedure and convert it to MS Access queries)? I have written a near-finished program using SQL Server when my client wants it to be in MS Access database because it would be easier for him to deploy the application. I'm not as familiar doing things in MS Access, the mere thought of breaking down my stored procedures into too many queries in MS Access would drive me nuts! (maintenance and organization of logic data) Please help! I would really appreciate it! Thanks! --A |

SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedures to MS Access 2000 Queries
If your client insists on using Access and the SPs you built in SQL Server
is more than simple "SELECT..." queries, I think you probably are going to rewrite your app, at least, the Data Access Layer. If your SPs are fairly complicated, like using CURSOR, TRIGER, TABLE VARIABLE, UDF, temporary tables, and so on, I do not see how you can do similar things with JET at database end. You have to move big portion of these server side computer processes to client end - your app, therefore, rewrite your app. "CS" wrote in message ... hi all! i would like to ask you guys regarding MS Access 2000 and SQL Server 2000: Is there a possibility that I could get all of my stored procedures from SQL Server 2000 to my MS Access 2000?

... I have written a near-finished program using SQL Server when my client wants it to be in MS Access database because it would be easier for him to deploy the application. Hum, but what is the customer using for the client part of the application? (sql server don't have forms, or anything to develop the application with?). So, my first question would be what IDE for development of the front end UI did you use? (ie: VB, c++ ms-access etc?). I'm not as familiar doing things in MS Access, the mere thought of breaking down my stored procedures into too many queries in MS Access would drive me nuts! (maintenance and organization of logic data) Ms-access can be used natively with sql server. On the office cd, there is a free desktop edition of sql server that is 100% compatible with the full blown sql server. So, you could consider using the desktop edition of sql server, and deploy that. It is just not clear what the client tools are that you using to build the UI with for this database? Remember, ms-access is not a database, but only a set of tools like VB, c++ etc to write code and build forms with. What data engine ms-access connects to, or uses is your choice. Since you are taking about ONLY a data engine, then ms-access is not really in question here. (however, the default data engine is JET). -- Albert D.

SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedures to MS Access 2000 Queries
Why don't you recommend you client to use Access Data
Project (ADP) which uses Access Front-End as the GUI but the data resides on the SQL Server. In this case, you should be able to use your SP with the Access Front-End. If the client doesn't want to fork out the money for the SQL Server license, you can use MSDE (restricted but free version of the SQL Server) which can handle your SPs. Grab a big Access book and read everything about ADPs. HTH Van T.

Much fewer hassles. If the client wants the BE to be in Access do up an estimate and explain how much more it's going to cost him.
