I installed SQL Anywhere 16 Developer and need to import almost 200 Tables originating in Microsoft Access. I have tried the following:
Is there an easy way "import" tables into SQL Anywhere from MS SQL Server database? The migration tool is a little confusing and I am a "newbie" to writing source code. In google searching, I see lots of information for importing from SQL Anywhere to SQL Server but not much on importing from SQL Server to SQL Anywhere. I need an easy solution so I can move on to other design & visual basic programming tasks. |

Thanks Breck, I figured it out on my own after doing something else and letting my subconscious think about how to do it. I used the Open ODBC Administrator to create an ODBC source file (64-Bit) pointing to the Access database I wanted to import into SQL Anywhere 16. Then I used the Migration Wizard to connect to the Access ODBC source file and selected "all tables" - it worked great! My last step was to delete all "Proxy" tables.

Please tell us exactly what you mean by "Tried the Migration tool".
The Sybase Central - Tools - SQL Anywhere 16 - Migrate Database wizard does not create any ".sys and .dbo files", it creates and fills table in a SQL Anywhere 16 database...
Sybase Central - create and connect to a running SQL Anywhere 16 database
Tools - SQL Anywhere 16 - Migrate Database...
Create Remote Server Now...
(NOTE: the following uses SQL Server, but you can migrate directly from Access as well... just pick you poison from the list)
Connection information: DSN=MSSTEST;uid=sa;pwd=j68Fje9#fyu489
Create an external login...
Login name: sa
Password: j68Fje9#fyu489
The following SQL will be executed...
CREATE SERVER "MSS" CLASS 'MSSODBC' USING 'DSN=MSSTEST;uid=sa;pwd=j68Fje9#fyu489';
CREATE EXTERNLOGIN "DBA" TO "MSS" REMOTE LOGIN 'sa' IDENTIFIED BY '***';
Select Tables - Add All >>
Which user do you want to own the migrated tables? DBA
Thanks - I answered my own question (see above)
