Access to MSSQl 2005 Upgrade Challenge with ASP Web Application

To whom it may concern,

I have developed a web application using ASP 3.0 with a Access DB 2002backend.I have decided to recently to upgrade the database to SQL 2005 but I am having issues that I cannotwork out because I am new to MsSql Language. It appearsthat theFORMAT function in Access does not work in MsSql ( does not recognise the function )along with some of the PIVOT and TRANSFORM calls (coming up with "Syntax error near "..."") . Please see the below code. The areas that are showing up as errors when the application is run are highlighted in red.

Thanking you in advance

Darren

Darren,

Is this still an issue?

Thanks!

Wow... i can go over the code but this is a very bad way of asking a simple question... I will do it fast

* The function RecordsetToCSV is not relevant to the question!
* The function evaluate again... not relevant!
* I see some view code (the HTML part is named "view code" at newer tech) again... not relevant!
Where is the DB ?!? I continue...

OK i got it: this is the first relevant code

"set rsd = cn.execute"

Where is the cn initialize?!? probably in the include file="./../../common/includes/i_header_login.asp

we can't do anything :-( soory, the relevant code (connection object) is missing

Maybe this will help in general:

1. connection string to SQL Server: http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2005/

2. This explaing in general how to use ASP3 with SQL Server: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/169377

I hope this was helpful as we can with the information that we have

Looking at the highlighted code in red. We need to use syntax for SQL Server.

1. format(Weekending,""mmmm yyyy"")
If you are using SQL 2012, we have FORMAT function otherwise for lower version we need to use CONVERT or DATEPART function to get the desire format.
Refer FORMAT: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213505.aspx
Refer DATEPART: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174420.aspx

2. TRANSFORM First(UserID)
TRANSFORM is use to convert the result set into Pivot format in MS Access. We have PIVOT/UNPIVOT command starting from SQL 2005.
For PIVOT refer this link, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410(v=sql.105).aspx
