    I have an MS Access db that needs to export to Sql Server on daily basis. The access database contains numerous tables and views associated with it. Everyday basis, this gets updated and it's ok to replace the database on daily basis. Sometimes the structure remains the same, but the data in many of the tables will be more on each day. Modifications to existing structure is also possible sometimes. So, rather than appending data to the existing tables, I would like to replace the whole database on daily basis in Sql Server and perform operations on it.And it should be scheduled at a particular time. So I am looking out which will be the best option to do the same. Will the SSIS packages helpful? Please suggest possible ways.

      Create a linked server in SQL Server, point to your Access-database, SELECT INTO to where you need them.

        There is a right tool for this job. DBConvert. Convert / Sync from Microsoft Access to Microsoft SQL Server[^] DBConvert/ DBSync for Access and Microsoft SQL Server are powerful cross database migration tools for upsizing and synchronization of Access x86/x64 data to MS SQL Server. Good: - This does almost everything related to cross dbs. Database migration, conversion, export.. etc. - Daily scheduler is quick Bad: - May be expensive for personal use - Need to spend some time when you are implementing/configuring
