Script Generating
Toad Data Modeler doesn’t generate an SQL script for the Microsoft Access database, but does generate a fully functional source code in the VBA language. The source code can be executed directly in the Microsoft Access as Module. Appropriate libraries in Microsoft Access are necessary - "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library" and "Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.x for DDL and Security" for ADO, or "Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library" for DAO.
To select a suitable library, click the Tools menu | References (in Microsoft Access main menu).
In the beginning of every script generated for Microsoft Access, you will see the following order:
Microsoft Azure SQL Database V12

- Definitions of User and Schema objects are not loaded
- There are differences between Azure SQL Database and SQL Server 2016 in External Table syntax
- Right-click External Tables in the Physical Model Explorer and select Add to create external tables.
