Access to MS SQL

If you think that working with Microsoft SQL servers meets your expectations more than handling MS Access does, a database converter could come in handy.

Access to MS SQL is a software utility that could prove useful in such a context since it promises superior performance while letting you customize various parameters of the conversion process.

First things first, users should know that installing the application is nothing to worry about, with the entire operation being straightforward. In fact, the same can be said about the very GUI the program features, with a wizard-like structure making all the tasks intuitive.

It is important to point out that the program offers two main options as far as database conversions are concerned. To be more specific, it can migrate your Microsoft Access databases not only directly to a Microsoft SQL server but also to a T-SQL script file.

If you go for the former, the first step you need to take is connect to the MS SQL server using either your Windows credentials or the server login details. Once you complete this task, you need to look into several user-level security settings, but if your database is not protected, you can simply skip all altogether.

Next, the source and destination database names must be specified. In the same screen, you can check other options such as convert table definitions only and skip converting indexes. Last but not least, you need to know that selecting the Microsoft Access table you intend to convert should be a hassle-free operation. Apart from that, filtering data using SELECT-queries is possible.

As for how the program helps you improve your productivity, it must be said that it allows you to create profiles packing all the conversion settings so that you can subsequently launch them in no time. Besides, command line support is offered so that you can automate, schedule, as well as script the conversion tasks.

Access to MS SQL is a powerful database conversion tool that boasts support for all Microsoft Access and SQL Server versions. The program comes with a reliable set of features users can resort to in order to successfully prepare their MS Access databases for migration, all in an intuitive GUI that takes little time to get accustomed to.
