The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Dynamic Creation and Alteration of SQL tables from Access

Asked by jefftwilley in MS SQL Server, Microsoft Access Database

Tags: M$, Access 2003, Sql Server 2000/2005

Hello again Ladies and Gents,
Like most of you Access x-perts, I have a great table driven method of adding new tables and fields to my access database. I don't think I've actually opened or created a table in design view in years. In my TableMod table, I enter a few fields of detail for the item and the startup code does the rest. I never have to worry about it after that.

With my new found enjoyment (SQL Server), I would like to try to do the same kind of thing. And I would like to try to use the same method, down to using the same record itself, to do the creation of alteration for my SQL backside.

Scenario is, we have lots of clients. Some are Access backends, some are SQL. Up till now, the maintenance of the structure changes for the SQL side has been a manual thing. Managing these structure changes needs to happen in one place, one entry in a table, adding the same fields regardless of whether its Access or SQL.

So I go and add a few different field and table options to my TableMod table and I'm pretty sure I can create a passthrough query to feed a stored procedure that will use parameters passed from access to complete an Alter or create statement.

Here's the question then.

I KNOW I'm not the first one to do this. Has anyone already come up with a system/method of doing this that they can share? I'm more than willing to build my own, and I will if it comes to that, but I thought I'd bang this up against my x-pert buds first, and see what was out there.

Thanks already!
