[AccessD] VB.Net using ADO.Net to pass data from one DB to Another

Hi Vlad,

You can do it like that (C#):

using System.Data.OleDb;

namespace DotNetLanguages
{
    public class TestClass
    {
        public static void Run()
        {
            string sourceDbFullPath = @"c:\temp\sourceDb.mdb";
            string destionationDbFullPath = @"c:\temp\targetDb.mdb";

            using (OleDbConnection sourceConnection = new
OleDbConnection(MakeAccDdbConnectionStr(sourceDbFullPath)))
            {
                sourceConnection.Open();
                string sql1 = "select [SourceField] from [SourceTable]";
                OleDbCommand cmd1 = new OleDbCommand(sql1,
sourceConnection);
                OleDbDataReader rdr = cmd1.ExecuteReader();
 
                using (OleDbConnection destinationConnection = new
OleDbConnection(MakeAccDdbConnectionStr(destionationDbFullPath)))
                {
                    destinationConnection.Open();  

                    while (rdr.Read())
                    {
                        string sql2 = string.Format("insert into
[MyTable](MyField) values ('{0}')", rdr["SourceField"].ToString());
                        OleDbCommand cmd2 = new OleDbCommand(sql2,
destinationConnection);
                        cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();  
                    }
                }
                rdr.Close();
 
            }
        }

        public static string MakeAccDdbConnectionStr(string fullPath)
        {
            {
                return string.Format(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source={0}",
                    fullPath);
            }
        }
    }
} 

Watch line wraps.

For VB.NEt version you can use free online translation
http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/csharp-to-vb/

There could be myriads other ways to do your task in .NET - the above
working sample is just a "quick & dirty" solution but it should work well
(watch out to duplicate quotes if you have some in your source data
fields)...


Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

 

Long time no speak.

 

Sorry for posting a VB.Net and ADO.Net question here, but I've wasted so
much time on this, I thought maybe someone from my old AccessD Group might
know the answer. This is my first solo attempt at a VB.Net app, so be kind.

 

I am developing quite simple application for work that imports a CSV file
into an Access DB that is created on the fly for the task. Everything works
as expected and the data is posted to the table ready for
manipulation/changing and prepared for the transfer and import into the file
separate Access DB.

 

For the life of me I can't figure out how to open 2 separate DB's and
transfer data from one to the other. In fact, trying to find decent examples
of using VB.Net with ADO.Net is in itself a task.

 

Can anyone here please give me an example? One that shows the insert data
syntax? Something like I'm used to would be handy as in similar methodology
to DAO like:

 

Dim dbs01 as dao.database 'Source DB

Dim dbs02 as dao.database 'Destination DB

Dim rst01 as dao.recordset

Dim rst02 as dao.recordset

Dim StrSQL as string

 

Set dbs01 = CurrentDb()

Set dbs02 = OpenDatabase(BELocation)

 

Etc etc ..

 

With rst01

                Do until rst01.EOF

                                With rst02

                                                !MyField = rst01!SourceField

                                End with

                loop

End with

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Vlad
