I was given an Access2016 database to make some changes to and was trying to get the SQL View of a query, but that option is not available.
All my searching on the internet pretty reveals that SQL View is not available for "web databases".
So, how do I verify that the database is a "web database" and if so, how to convert to a "standard" database or is there a way to get SQL View back?

I don't know why but I can not see the stored procedures appear when I connect the database to Tableau (I use MariaDB). I can only see the data tables.
Anyone has the same problems with me? I am a newbie so I am not sure if my description is clear or not.
Use the stored procedures.
I found that Tableau does not connect to stored processes and that one way around this is that when you connect to your server, you should use the initial query function. Once you log in, grab Custom SQL and for that script simply use
select * from #nameoftemptable
and Execute.
I am using the Knockout: Contacts editor example http://knockoutjs.com/examples/contactsEditor.html as the template to start my MVVM project.
At the top of my page I have a set of cascading combo boxes that allow the user to drill down to a master record. When the user clicks the refresh button, an AJAX call finds the corresponding detail records from the server matching the user's search criteria. I load them into my viewmodel using ko.mapping.
My viewmodel is not as nested as the example, so I don't have anything at the "phone number" level. I do still want to add and delete records at the "first name / last name" level.
I am familiar with making AJAX calls to the server. I've looked at countless examples, but I still haven't found a good example of what the server side code should look like. Could someone point me toward an example that uses a list of objects like the example I am working with and what the VB.Net code looks like on the controller for adding, updating, and deleting database records using entity framework?
In my program I have multiple databases. One is fixed and cannot be changed, but there are also some others, the so called user databases.
I thought now I have to start for every database one connection and to connect to each data dictionary. How is it possible to connect to more than one database with one connection by handing over the data dictionary filename? Btw. I am using a local server.
thank you very much,
André
P.S.: Okay I might find the answer to my problem.
The Key word is CreateDDLink. The procedure is connecting to another data dictionary, but before a master dictionary has to be set.
Links may be what you are looking for as you indicated in the question. You can use the API or SQL to create a permanent link alias, or you can dynamically create links on the fly.
I would recomend reviewing this specific help file page: Using Tables from Multiple Data Dictionaries
for a permanent alias (using SQL) look at sp_createlink. You can either create the link to authenticate the current user or set up the link to authenticate as a specific user. Then use the link name in your SQL statements.
select * from linkname.tablename
Or dynamically you can use the following which will authenticate the current user:
select * from "..\dir\otherdd.add".table1
However, links are only available to SQL. If you want to use the table directly (i.e. via a TAdsTable component) you will need to create views. See KB 080519-2034. The KB mentions you can't post updates if the SQL statement for the view results in a static cursor, but you can get around that by creating triggers on the view.
I'm completely new with SharePoint. How can I create a new page where the user can essentially click a button that will call a stored procedure on the same server? Am I going to need to create an ASP.NET application?
SharePoint 2007 and SQL Server 2008
SharePoint Designer will allow you to put a DataViewWebPart on a page and let you tweak it endlessly. The DataViewWebPart can be populated from all sorts of data sources including SQL databases so it might be able to meet your needs.
You could create this as a webpart. There's a built-in project type for a SharePoint Visual WebPart. Would this be just a single button that always executes the same stored procedure? Does there need to be a list of procedures to choose from? Would the list always be the same, or would it need to be populated dynamically?
I am trying to display a sql query result on a page in my Sharepoint site. After looking around I found instructions on how to do that using the Content Query Web part. The instructions to enable that feature instructions here include activating the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure. I currently don't have that option. Is there something I can install to my sharepoint site to get that option? Is there a better/easier way to display the results of a sql query in sharepoint?
Make sure to look in your "site collection features" instead of your site feature. This feature needs to be activated at the root level of the site collection.
FYI the Content Query WebPart only retrieve content from your site collection (by crafting a relevant CAML query, which is finally transformed to SQL query). You don't have the possibility to create a direct sql query and receive the result.
If you need to query another database than the one SharePoint is using (avoid accessing it from SQL at all cost !), you'll need to rely on the Business Connectivity Service, a data view webpart (using SharePoint designer), or create a simple webpart that will be responsible for everything (connecting to the db, doing the query and rendering the result in any way).
Hope it helped.
