Hey all,
I recently began converting all of our firm's Access databases and Queries to SQL Server due to size/efficiency/etc, and I was hoping someone could recommend a better way for me to complete this process. For each of our clients, we receive monthly or quarterly data files (usually in a Text file) and essentially run this file through a series of 8 different access databases like an assembly line. Each time we receive a text file, this file is imported to a large table in the first Access Database, and a series of about 30 queries is run to format this data and extract the necessary information into databases 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 which each run a series of about 10-50 queries. I am now taking all of the Tables from this series of access databases, and importing them to SQL Server manually using the Import Export Wizard. Once these tables are all in SQL, I then transcribe all the queries to SQL code (Usually about 250+ queries). Lastly, I set up Delete Queries that delete out last month/quarter's data and bulk inserts that automatically perform the Text File Import. This process works, and once all queries and tables have been moved to SQL, the entire script runs in about 10 minutes, which is beautiful. My issue is that I need to do this same process for roughly 15 other Clients. Is there any way that I can take my series of databases and queries and import everything into SQL without having to manually go through and re-write hundreds of queries each time? Even if there is a program out that there that would help me to accomplish this, I would be willing to purchase it. Thank you all in advance for any help you can provide me with.
