Questions on pass-thru queries

I'm thinking I might want to move the back-end to one of my Access97
applications to SQLServer instead of continuing to use Access jet but
before I start/do that I have several questions I'm hoping can be
answered as I have not yet used SQLServer for a back-end.

1. Just moving my tables from a jet back-end to a SQLServer back-end
and not changing anything else will not improve performance, True????

2. If I create pass-thru queries can they contain Access
functions(like: DatePart, CvDate, ABS, etc....) or do they need to be
pure SQL????

3. Can pass-thru queries be 'action' and 'select' queries????

4. Is there an Access add-in that will tell you which queries can
become pass-thru and which can't????

5. Is there an add-in or third party product that will convert a query
to a pass-thru query at an insertion point on a code page????

thanks
bobh.

1. Just moving my tables from a jet back-end to a SQLServer back-end

Usually true. If the design already folllows good practices for C/S apps,
then you generally would see a speed improvement vs shared .mdb file on the
LAN.
2. If I create pass-thru queries can they contain Access
functions(like : DatePart, CvDate, ABS, etc....) or do they need to be
pure SQL????
They cannot contain Access or VBA functions, however, SQL Server has its own
functions that are similar.
3. Can pass-thru queries be 'action' and 'select' queries????
Yes.
4. Is there an Access add-in that will tell you which queries can
become pass-thru and which can't????
No. Short answer, though, most Access queries do not need to be converted.
Access generally does a decent job of forwarding query logic to the server for
you. A lack of pass-throughh queries is not the problem with most Access C/S
apps that are slow, it is that they retrieve large recordsets from the server
or use code loops where SQL set operations are more appropriate.
5. Is there an add-in or third party product that will convert a query
to a pass-thru query at an insertion point on a code page????


I'm not sure I understand your quesiton.

I keep asking myself this question as I write class modules. What's the best/smartest/most efficient way to send a large object back and forth to a class module? For example, say I have a data access module that creates a large disconnected dataset from a database. I want to pass that dataset back to the calling program. And then perhaps I want to send that dataset to another class module. At first it seems that the "object oriented"...

Hi, I am struggling to understand how to really appreciate object orientation. I guess these are FAQ's but I have not been able to find the answers. Maybe my problem is that my style and understanding are influenced by matlab and fortran.

Hi everyone, I have 2 classes, Company and Contact, a company can have 1 or more contacts. A contact can only be in one company. I have created a Company class object that contains all the properties for my company. I have created a CompanyFactory class that has the methods to Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete a company. I have done the same for the Contact class and ContactFactory.
