Best way to import access table into SQL?

  • Hi friends,

    I have one database in Access which is having around 20 tables with lots of records...some of them having 2 milion....i would like to transfer all of them into SQL....which is the best way?

    SSIS, bulk insert, BCP???

    Because that table will get refresh every month we need to set up a process to import all refreshed table froma access to SQL....i need to write one script which does everyhting...

    do i need to desing 20 package for this? or One stored procedure which does bulk insert for all 20 tables?

    Any suggestion? we are using SQL server 2005.

    regards,

    vijay

  • I'd use an SSIS package that imports data from all twenty Access tables and schedule it in a monthly SQL Agent job. You can use the Import/Export Wizard in SSMS to create the initial package, then modify it if needed.

  • Ther used to be an Access Upgrade tool that would do this for you. Not sure if Access still has it or not.
