Does SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access preserve the table relationship?
0
I was just migrating the Access database to SQL Server. I was really happy about the fact that it preserves primary key ,sets up auto-increment etc. However, looks like it does not preserve the table relationship. Did I do something wrong while migrating or is there no relationship preservation feature?

Ah, yes. Well, I guess you do lose that. It's more of a graphical convenience. It's not really a 'hard' setting, like you have with the schemas. I can't think of any setting or control that would preserve those relationships, especially because it's graphical and there can be an infinite number of combinations. I suppose you can re-create those pretty easily, especially if you have 2 monitors, right.
