Has your business outgrown your home made Access database?
Upsizing is the process of migrating some or all database objects (tables and queries) from a Microsoft Access database (.mdb)
to a new or existing Microsoft SQL Server database.
If your business is growing and you demand a scalable database solution,
upsize from Access Jet to the robust SQL Server environment. SSW Upsizing PRO!
is the tool that prepares your Access database so you can convert effortlessly to SQL Server.
Upsizing PRO! will prevent known errors, ensuring a smooth migration.
Microsoft Upsizing Wizard upsizes the mdb (if successful) and then creates a report that provides a detailed description of all objects created,
and reports any errors encountered during the process.
Microsoft have had their Upsizing Wizard for a many years and while it works fine for some,
other developers report to newsgroups that it has a surprising amount of shortcomings.
While some of them are bugs, most of the issues are simply because Access and SQL Server have different functionality.
We believe the best approach is to fix errors in the mdb first and this is the approach that
SSW Upsizing PRO! takes.
Our clients often ask us to upsize their database from Access to SQL
Server. With Upsizing PRO, what used to take us hours can now be done at
the click of a button.
Works with SQL Server Versions:2000, 2005, 2008

SSW Upsizing PRO! checks your database the way the 'Microsoft Upsizing Wizard' should have done. After you use the generated
reports, and made the recommended changes, you can upsize to SQL Server without any worries. Here are some of the useful features of SSW Upsizing PRO!:
