As title says I’ve used odbcconnection to sqlconnection and for the life of me cant get it to work.. Copied a bunch of code from this site but cant get them both to work.
The program just hangs so maybe I am doing something wrong, but would appreciate maybe a bare bones template that i could just fill in the connection details and bulk copy the table to table..
x
using (OdbcConnection myConnection = new OdbcConnection())
{
string myConnectionString = @"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" +
"Dbq=//####/data/Toronto/wrkgrp/wrkgrp30/Business Risk Oversight and Control/DATA INTEGRITY/CDE/CDE Testing Portal Requirements/Migration Requirements/RCM/Mutual Funds/Mutual Funds.mdb;";
myConnection.ConnectionString = myConnectionString;
myConnection.Open();
//execute queries, etc
OdbcCommand cmd = myConnection.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM RCM_MF_New_Accounts_Samples";
OdbcDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader(); // close conn after complete
DataTable myDataTable = new DataTable();
myDataTable.Load(reader);
//myConnection.Close();
string destinationConnectionString = "Data Source=####;Initial Catalog=DYOF_STAGING_BROC;User ID=;Password=;Connection Timeout=999";
SqlConnection destination = new SqlConnection(destinationConnectionString);
SqlBulkCopy bulkData;
//destination.Open();
Exception ex = null;
try
{
Console.WriteLine("step1");
bulkData = new SqlBulkCopy(destinationConnectionString, SqlBulkCopyOptions.FireTriggers);
bulkData.BulkCopyTimeout = 1;
bulkData.DestinationTableName = "Load_CTR_Sample_Account_Opening2";
bulkData.WriteToServer(myDataTable);
bulkData.Close();
Console.WriteLine("moved from here to there");
reader.Close();
//destination.Close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
ex = e;
}

Read the data from Access into a DataTable:
string strConnect = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;data source=D:TempMyDB.accdb";
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
using (OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(strConnect))
{
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM MyTable", con);
con.Open();
OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);
}
Then use SqlBulkCopy to update SQL:
string strConnect = @"Data Source=GRIFFPCSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Testing;Integrated Security=True";
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnect))
{
con.Open();
using (SqlBulkCopy bulk = new SqlBulkCopy(con))
{
bulk.DestinationTableName = "Test";
bulk.WriteToServer(dt);
}
}
Of course, there is a much easier way to go straight from Access to SQL Server, using VBA, SQL , or other methods.
