Datatype conversion for express transfer statements

Table 9-2 shows the acceptable source datatypes that the access service can convert into corresponding target destination datatypes.

If a column match is incompatible, the transfer ends with an error. If data conversion errors occur, you should try swapping the connections to the drivers used for the primary server and the secondary server.

NoteThe datatype conversions identified in Table 9-2 may not be available for express transfer. Availability varies depending on the ODBC driver that is used.
