Dears,
I have OpenText ECM with Several Documents, I need to add one more Column to an existing table of OpenText DB.I have another DB in DB2 with all the information, I need a solution for updating Column from DB2 Table to SQL Table of OpenText both tables has a unique value.
Don't change OpenText core tables. Never. I'm sure you can achive your goal by create a new table and a foreign key that reference the table you would like to modify.

I want to create a new table with one of the columns linked/updated by a table on another database (but on the same server).
so when table A column is updated it will automatically update table b's column with the same information no data will be entered into this column from table b.
I have tried various different ways but can't find a way to do this with out updating column manually or setting up a server agent any help would be great.
if you want to make cross server query, please check sp_addlinkedserver

Once it is linked, just create a trigger, where you can use
select * from [server].[database].[schema].[table]
I found this link that could be the solution to my question, but I need some clarification.
I have two DBs on one server, the one DB is a backup. I have a broken table and want to replace the table values/records with the table from the backup DB. Can I use the method from the link above, or is it only if the destination table is empty that I can use the "INSERT INTO destination"?
My goal is to overwrite the table with the backup values.
Since your goal is to replace the entire table with the table from the backup database, you can TRUNCATE the target table and then reload from the backup table using INSERT...SELECT.
You will need to be mindful of foreign key constraints. TRUNCATE is not allowed if FKs reference the table so you will need to use DELETE to empty the table instead.
Situation:
I have quite a few tables created in SQL
These tables are linked to MS Access
I can very easily "add" new entries to all but one of the tables
This table includes a Foreign key reference (but so do others)
All tables are created the same way and linked the same way
Problem:
I cannot add entries in the Spreadsheet View in Access. Generally you have some sort of entry like (where there is a * as well as empty row beneath the table you can click in and begin typing)
However this table looks like:
Right clicking on a record has "New Record" and "Delete Record" grayed out, while I can use this on other tables
I am creating the table using:
CREATE TABLE ProjectApprovers (
ProjectCode varchar(50) FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES ProjectCodes(ProjectCode),
RACFApprover varchar(50)
);
The reason I am confused is that it does not appear to be a SQL permissions problem because I can run the following code in Access:
INSERT INTO ProjectApprovers (ProjectCode,RACFApprover) VALUES ('ValidProjectCode','test123');
It seems these restrictions are only limited to the spreadsheet view. Additionally, identical syntax is used to create other tables which do not have this problem.
I am using this code to link my database tables.
Is something like this a permission problem? I have never referenced this problem table with permissions.
If Access doesn't recognize a primary key in the linked table, it will present the table as read-only in Datasheet View.
Fix this by adding a primary key in SQL Server. Then recreate the link in Access so it can notice the changed table structure.
I have access database called road.mdb.
Inside road.mdb, I have a linked SQL table and
the table name is student.
I can insert records using query design in MSAccess
But I cannot update nor Delete
when run delete query below, the error is: could not delete from specified table
delete from student where studentid=303;
and when I run update query below, the error is: Operation must use an updateable query
update student set Name='BOB' where studentid= 303;
I have full access to the sql database and I can run the query OK using sql management studio.
Is it impossible to delete and update using query design inside MSaccess??
The weird thing is I can insert new records using query design inside MSaccess
thank you
I SOLVED this by adding primary key to the SQL table and re linked the table to ACCESS
Thanks everyone...
In the case that you can't manipulated the table on SqlServer, you can get around the problem by telling Access which/s column/s are meant to be the primary key. This is done on the last step of creating a Linked table, the window title is "Select Unique Record Identifier".
You will find that the following steps will most likely solve your problem:
In SQL Server: set a primary key on the table you are working with and make sure the primary key is of type int, not bigint as Access will not properly deal with bigint data type.
In SQL Server: refresh the table.
In MS Access: re-link the table.
(You can easily check if 'things are OK' afterwards by adding a record to the SQL Server table and accessing it through the MS Access linked table. When all is OK you should not see #Deleted when viewing the data from MS Access side.)
Hope it helps ;-)
In my case, the linked table only had keys. I had to modify one of the keys to be a primary key and then I could truncate truncate the table via a DELETE table.* FROM table via access.
In my case the problem was a BIT column. I think the problem occurs when the the bit column contains a NULL value.
To resolve the issue, I either deleted the entire column, or set a default value.
I have a table which I need to get rid of. But there are several tables in the database referencing this table. Before I remove it, I need to modify the columns in the referencing tables. How can I find out which tables are referencing the table I want to remove?
If they are defined as foreign keys to the database table you can use the command
sp_help TableName
and that will list all of the constraints.
