- I already use it, sorry for not explaining that. So my problem is if I should loop through the new SQL tables as I must merge them in one table or if I should have a specific treatment for each.Loïc Lopes– Loïc Lopes2015-10-04 08:54:11 +00:00Commented Oct 4, 2015 at 8:54
- I think I need some clarification here. Are you trying to figure out if it is best when migrating multiple Access files to a single SQL Server database if you should take tables from your Access file that would be similar and combine them together to form a single larger table? For example, if you have File_A with Table_A and, File_B with Table_A1 does Table_A have a relationship with Table_A1?Travis Page– Travis Page2015-10-05 13:40:54 +00:00Commented Oct 5, 2015 at 13:40
- No, I want to know what would be the best practice to merge several tables in the same database which have some similar columns (but not all). Should I make a specific treatment for each table or should I put some effort into making something generic I can re use for each table? I hope it is more understandable.Loïc Lopes– Loïc Lopes2015-10-06 08:16:35 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2015 at 8:16
- I think this falls into a scope of knowing your data unfortunately. Depending on the migration source to destination (OLTP vs OLAP) the strategy for normalization is going to vary. Also, the practice of master data management comes into play. Which record is the ultimate source of record? Both of these make it extremely challenging to offer a solution to the problem that someone else may be able to utilize. I hope I have given you at least some clarification. If so, based on the comments I will update my answer to reflect the thread here.Travis Page– Travis Page2015-10-07 01:45:52 +00:00Commented Oct 7, 2015 at 1:45
- The ultimate source of records are the SQL Server tables created from SSMA. I must create new SQL server tables (in another database) which take each information from all the source tables.Loïc Lopes– Loïc Lopes2015-10-07 07:56:42 +00:00Commented Oct 7, 2015 at 7:56

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. sql-server), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
