将数据从Mulitple访问数据库文件导入到MS SQL Server

Question

Am working on a project where a user has to import multiple access database files (up to 20 mdb files at once ) with same table structure into Ms SQL server where the system links with the data for further Analysis. i would like a most efficient way of accomplishing this task (using c#, Ms Sql Server) , without consuming too much time while exporting data to sql server. i have not done this before, so can you kindly guide me through.

thanks in advance

Answer 1

If this needs to be run in an automated fashion, you should write an SSIS package and schedule it as a job. If it needs to be run once, you can just use the Import wizard in SQL Server.

Answer 2

You might want to check out SQL Server Integration Services ( SSIS ). There are some answers on StackOverflow already (eg here ) that show how to use SSIS to move data from Access to SQL Server.

If you build an SSIS package you could call it repeatedly from a C# program and set the parameters (path to the Access database file, table name, etc). See here for an example.
