After the meeting about NULL values, your supervisor approaches you and asks you to come up with a better strategy for importing the Access database into SQL Server. She feels the manual process might eventually work but is tedious, error prone, and labor intensive. She points out that in the tables you and your colleagues created, there is not only inconsistent treatment of null values but also inconsistent specification of key fields where some fields with the same name in multiple tables are declared with different datatypes.
She asks you to find a tool or tools that would automate the process and then use it to create the new database. Once completed she wants you to send a project update to her to explain the tool you chose, how it treats null values, and how it treats differences in datatypes between Access and SQL. She wants you to note what you think the advantages are of the particular tool you chose.
Finally, she'd like you to include a screenshot of your system where you use a tool or a command line to list all of the tables. (To get a screen shot, press the Print Screen button while you have the tables listed on your screen and then press “ctrl?? and “v?? at the same time from within a Microsoft word document). You start to ask her about a couple terms that she used, but she cuts the conversation short by saying that you will have to research them yourself because she's got too many other priorities to help you further.
