Hi Everybody,
Can anyone help me in knowing how to migrate the flatfiles to MS-Access.I couldnt find the provider i need to use?
Should i use the OLEDB destination or someother,Please help.
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
SVGP.
OLE DB destination should work. Create an OLE DB connection manager using the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE driver.Hi All,
I am writing an interface between SQL Server and Access. I have chosen to use a linked server using the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider. One of the requirements is to have multiple SQL statements in one transaction, which is where I am encountering the problem. (see below)
BEGIN TRAN
INSERT INTO ACCES...Table
Msg 7390, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "HES" does not support the required transaction interface.
I am having a really really hard time finding documentation on the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider, specifically I want to know for sure if it supports the ITransactionJoin interface.
The main question is - does MS Access linked servers support transactions?
Thank you for your help,
I have exausted all resources available to me in finding out the answer.
Thanks,
Eric
Hi,
as far as I can remember Access does not support DT.

This really is bad news for me. The previous interface was just dropping a file on the network and then access had a utility to import and update, however this methodology was horrible. If any step errored then it was a nightmare to clean up the mess and restart, and the data is so out of sync it is ridiculous. I am trying to find a more ACID way.
Maybe I can use the linked server to prepare some temp tables, then write a utility in C#.net to do the update. I bet the connection in .net can support non-distributed transactions.
Microsoft, I love you and hate you.
