I've set up two different tables with two connection strings. Now I want to move data from one to the other but I'm not sure where to start. Has anyone else coded up some solution for this. If so I would really appreciate some tips/advice on where to start. My tablestorage tables are small. Some are around 500-2000 rows. I would just like to make sure that data does not get lost.
Please note it is tablestorage that I am using and NOT Sql Azure
Thanks if you have some ideas.
If you're dealing with only a few thousand rows then this is easy.

There is an option to export all data from a table to an XML or CSV file. Once you have your file then use the import option with the file and import it into the other table.

Here is the situation: I'm 'having fun' really using Microsoft Access for the first time for small personnal project/tools ideas.
I don't know anything about VBA yet, and unless I can't do without it, I don't plan to learn it this time (already a lot else to cover).
So I tried to use Python to automatize the main table filling. I did find pyodbc package and succeeded to connect, read and write some data out of my database.
However, I wanted to experiment a little further, and one of the fields could contain hyperlinks (could be handled somewhere else in another script later, but I am curious about the functionality anyway)...
But I couldn't figure how to insert hyperlink data in the table. I only get the displayed text set, but not the target one.
Is this feasible using pyodbc or am I on the wrong track?
Thanks in advance!

The hyperlink field in MS Access consists of three parts, separated by #:
display text # filename or target # location within the document
So an example of the data of a field can look like this:

See the docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/access.application.hyperlinkpart

So my problem is quite stupid but I cannot find a way to resolve it. I have one 15 GB file on external SFTP server that I need to copy to my data lake. The thing is that column delimiter is a comma and I have some nested lists as well. So when I am trying to use ADF copy activity, the result looks like that:
And most of my data is gone(as nested structures get cut on the first occurence of comma). So maybe I could ignore delimiter. I have tried to set pipe as a delimiter just to get this whole dataset as one column but this doesnt work either.
Powershell? I have tried different scripts that used to work with smaller files and I am getting an error every time.
I have even tried to upload it manually via Azure Storage Explorer but it fails as well after some time. I am not really sure how to make it work at this point.
Thank you for any advice!
I've noticed that whenever I try to import data from an Excel file, the Server Management Studio importer will append a $ to the name. I'm not sure why this is, but it is awkward because then you end up with tables like table$ instead of the table you want it imported to.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to avoid it?
Thanks in advance,
I'm currently working on maintaining some old (new format .xlsx) excels with more than 60+ connections each that feed some various tables from a SqlServer.
I'm in search of some kind of toolkit, module, standalone script (or anything really) that let me bulk change the command text inside each connection properties.
The change should be not harder than changing part of the table name as the new table only contains the information that the table needs.
So far, the only thing that gets near what I need are those python modules but they don't appear to implement anything for handling connections.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
So, there is this website where I have to log in and insert values in the add content->person roles and I have to take values from an excel file. I tried entering the values in the database directly but got nowhere. The database is too randomly generated.
I want to know- how to go by this problem? I think python would be the best way but I am more comfortable with java. The images bellow will help understand the situation better-
The log in from:
The form to be filled:
Try using feeds module:
https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds
Install it on you site first of course. Or look for some similar import module. Maybe this one:
https://www.drupal.org/project/datasources
If nothing succeeds then try making import script on your own. You have to parse document (would be much easier to open it from excel and export as CSV if possible http://php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php) and have some loop to write content into Drupal system. Use Drupal's functions for that, do not directly write to database. It's not hard as it looks like:
