In this blog article, we will examine how to migrate existing Microsoft Access databases to SQL Server in AutoCAD Electrical.
Setup SQL Server Instance
Firstly, we need to create a SQL instance on a server which we will use to transfer the existing Microsoft Access databases to SQL Server. If you already have an existing SQL instance on the server, i.e., for Autodesk Vault, you can use this instance to transfer the databases.

Efficiency, accuracy, and innovation are crucial for staying competitive in the industrial landscape of today. Manufacturing and engineering companies face increasing challenges in managing product development, ensuring design accuracy, and optimising workflows. That’s where Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) come into play.
Implementing a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system can be transformative for any manufacturing or engineering organization, but success doesn’t happen by chance. It takes careful planning, collaboration, and the right tools. In this article, we’ll walk you through what PLM implementation involves, why it’s critical to your organization, the benefits it delivers, and the best practices to follow. We’ll also touch on common challenges to avoid, expected timelines, and how Sovelia Core can support your implementation journey.
Manufacturing companies today need robust systems to manage their operations and product development efficiently. Two of the most important systems in this regard are Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). While they serve different purposes, both play a crucial role in streamlining business processes, improving collaboration, and enhancing overall productivity.
