How to import .sql file into MS Access


This is an assignment. I have to import a .sql file into MS Access. The file preferably will be NorthWind Database (.sql file). I have downloaded one from: https://northwinddatabase.codeplex.com/releases/view/71634 and it contains a .sql file. What to do next?

(Please note that importing/connecting MS Access from/to MS SQL Server through ODBC is irrelevant to this problem. The problem is to import a generic .sql file)


Solution

  • That's plain impossible without a major rewrite, and I seriously doubt if that is the assignment given to you.

    The SQL for download is in T-SQL for building the complete database in SQL Server.

    The Nortwind database is for download in an Access version if that is what you need.
