Force SET IDENTITY_INSERT to take effect faster from MS Access
I'm working on upsizing a suite of MS Access backend databases to SQL Server. I've scripted the SQL to create the table schemas in SQL Server. Now I am trying to populate the tables. Most of the tables have autonumber primary keys. Here's my general approach: For each TblName in LinkedTableNames 'Create linked table "temp_From" that links to the existing mdb' 'Create linked table "temp_To" that links to the new SQL server table ExecutePassThru "SET IDENTITY_INSERT " & TblName & " ON" db.Execute "INSERT INTO temp_To SELECT * FROM temp_From", dbFailOnError ExecutePassThru "SET IDENTITY_INSERT "
