I have two(2) MS Access databases with different connections in different location. Deleting records from the table of the first database is working but inserting new records that was copied from the table of the second database is not working. The table of the first database remains blank. What happened was it was inserted the new records to the table of the second database, that's why the second database have many records because it copied and inserted to itself. What I want is that the copied records from second database will be pasted/inserted to the first database.
SQLStr1 is the location string of the first database SQLStr2 is the location string of the second databas
Dim conn As OleDbConnection
Dim conn2 As OleDbConnection
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand
Dim cmd2 As OleDbCommand
Dim SQLStr1 As String
Dim SQLStr2 As String
conn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=psipop.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=cscfo13poppsi;")
'I used 'psipop' because the database is located the same with the application.
SQLStr1 = "DELETE * FROM pop 'psipop'"
conn.Open()
cmd = New OleDbCommand(SQLStr1, conn)
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
'I used " & TextBox3.Text & " because the textbox3 contains the path of the another database.
conn2 = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source= '" & TextBox3.Text & "' ;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=cscfo13poppsi; ")
SQLStr2 = "INSERT INTO pop SELECT * FROM pop IN '" & TextBox3.Text & "'"
conn2.Open()
cmd2 = New OleDbCommand(SQLStr2, conn2)
cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery()
Please help me to this. Thank you.
E.g.
Using sourceConnection As New OleDbConnection("source connection string here"),
destinationConnection As New OleDbConnection("source connection string here"),
insertCommand As New OleDbCommand("INSERT statement here", destinationConnection),
adapter As New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT statement here", sourceConnection) With {.InsertCommand = insertCommand,
.AcceptChangesDuringFill = False}
Dim table As New DataTable
adapter.Fill(table)
adapter.Update(table)
End Using
That will populate the DataTable
from one database and insert the rows into the other. You'll need to configure the insertCommand
with appropriate parameters. Take special note of the AcceptChangesDuringFill
property, which ensures that all DataRows
have a RowState
of Added
and are therefore ready to be inserted. Without that, all RowState
properties will be Unchanged
and nothing will get saved.
