Distributed Query: Import XML Using OpenRowSet Bulk From UNC - Access Denied
Feb 26, 2008
I'm experiencing issues importing XML data using a distributed query with the following statement which is run from an XP client named WorkstationA connecting to SQL2005 SP2 ServerB, the XML data is located on ServerC.
AdHoc Queries using OpenRowSet has been enabled and verified.
The SQL Server service is running using a domain user account with permissions to read the remote files. I have logged in locally to the SQL server and verified this. It still fails even if the SQL services are running using LocalSystem.
User on Workstation A is authenticated with Integrated security (SQL Admin) and has rights to read the XML files on ServerC.
WorkStationA = SQL2005 Mgt Studio running the query
ServerB = SQL2005 SP2
ServerC = XML data files
DECLARE @xml XML
SELECT @xml =CONVERT(XML, bulkcolumn, 2)
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK '\SERVERCSHAREPATHDATAFILE.XML', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x
SELECT @xml
Results: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot bulk load because the file "\SERVERCSHAREPATHDATAFILE.XML" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access Denied).
The query fails when it is run from Workstation A connected to SQL ServerB querying data on ServerC via a UNC.
The query is succesful when it is run from the local SQL ServerB. The problem is with distributed queries.
The query is succesful when the XML files are local to the SQL server including referencing them via a local UNC
Hi All Same situation as described here , same issue. SQL Server(SQL2005 on Windows2003) uses domain account. This domain account enabled to be trusted for delegation. Client connects to server using Windows auth. Client issues BULK INSERT with UNC path. Statement returns error:
Cannot bulk load because the file "\Serverpubfile.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.)SQL 2000 runs this statement successfully so statement and file are OK. Everyone has all permissions on network share. Domain account granted all permissions explicitly so there is no access troubles. Audit show anonymous connections. Question is - how to put delegation in work?
I want to do a bulk insert of a file located on a different machine then the SQL Server database.
machine1 and machine2 are running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. SQL Server v8.0 is running on machine2. Neither machine1 nor machine2 are in any domain. (These are servers at a hosting company.)
I use a UNC filename to specify the file to load. It looks something like this:
\machine1.someplace.com eportdata eport200602.txt
I get this error message when I attempt the bulk insert using SQL Query Analyzer:
Server: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Could not bulk insert because file '\machine1.someplace.com eportdata eport200602.txt' could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.). The share reportdata on machine1 has READ permissions for EVERYONE. What do I need to do enable allow the database machine (machine2) to access the files on machine1?
I am facing a issue with bulk upload on Test Server.
Issue: When running Openrowset command from SQL server other that Test Server query runs fine when trying to run the same command from Test Server it gives error.
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "\ServerNameinputFileName.csv" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
For example: If the command is run from System A connecting to SQL Server instance on Test Server Test Server it gives this error. If the same command with same rights is run from any other SQL server instance say Dev1 its running fine.
If the command is run from Test Server connecting to any SQL Server instance including Test Server it is running fine.
Tried: 1) Given the read/write rights on shared folder, to user under which the SQL server service is running on Test Server
2) Given the read/write rights on shared folder to everyone.
Query:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM OPENROWSET
(
BULK '\ServerNameinputFileName.csv',
FORMATFILE='\ServerNameFormat.xml'
)
AS FileList
Please provide me with some solution. What can be the reason for such behaviour?
Hello, I have been looking for an example of how to do an ad hoc distributed query to an MS Access database. I've tried this;
select * from OpenRowSet('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', '\Server1DataCorporateCPSDailyToolsTest.mdb' ;'admin';'',Names)
I recieve an OLEDB provider error when I try it this way. The version of Access is 2003. The database 'Test.mdb' is on a network share, and the table is called 'Names'. The share is located on the machine that hosts SQL Server 2000.
Is there a setting in sql server that can be set to allow/disallow ad hoc distributed queries?
Same with OpenDataSource. SQL 2000, logged in as non-SA.Getting message:Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has beendenied. You must access this provider through a linked server.Can run with SQLOLEDB with connection string to same server(obviously), but when trying to access an Excel file, get the messageabove.It appears that the file name given in the connection string to Excelis with respect to the SQL server, so I have used UNC names to thefile. Nothing.Want to avoid DTS when it's a table that I need and can't use a linkedserver because it's always a one time thing.Any tips appreciated!
I am trying to write some admin only procedures which will collect information to one of my development server from other production and development servers.
I have created linked servers to access these other servers on the development server. This development server is SQL Server 2000 EE. Other servers which I want to access are 2000 and 2005 (vaious editions)
E.g I have another development server called PRODTEST which is SQL Server 2005 and on the development server I have created a linked server pointing to PRODTEST called TESTLINKSRV. I want to access new object catalog view (as I do not want to use sysobjects)
When I run the following query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys].[objects]
I get following error,
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName=' TESTLINKSRV ', TableName='" DBNAME "."sys"."objects"'].
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider ' TESTLINKSRV ' does not contain table '"DBNAME"."sys"."objects"'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
So I try this query
SELECT * FROM [TESTLINKSRV].[DBNAME].[sys.objects]
and I get following error
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name TESTLINKSRV.DBNAME.sys.objects'.
So bottom line is how do I access catalog views on a 2005 server from a 2000 server using linked server?
I hope someone understands what I am trying to achieve. Please let me know what is it that I am doing wrong. Thank you
Hello,to accelerate loading xml data from many files into a table using openrowset (bulk...) I want to use a variable in the file specification and increment it within a loop similar to this:
declare @datnam varchar(100); DECLARE @MyCounter int; SET @MyCounter = 1; set @datnam = 'c:XML_DatenPOS_LOG_200608_'+ltrim(str(@MyCounter))+'.xml'; INSERT INTO GK_TO_KFH_ADAPTER_XML_NS (LOC_ID, MSG_CONTENT) SELECT @MyCounter, MSG_CONTENT FROM ( SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET (BULK @datnam, SINGLE_CLOB) AS MSG_CONTENT) AS R(MSG_CONTENT)
But I got the following error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 8 Incorrect syntax near '@datnam'.
Is there a way to this in that manner? Or is the bcp utility an alternative?
select * from openrowset(bulk '\server1c$file.txt', SINGLE_BLOB) as t works from sql server itself, but doesn't work from any other machine. I got "Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.)." I am running as the domain admin, the file.txt has full control for everyone. In server1 even log, I see Anonymous Logon.
I am trying to import some data from csv files. When I try it using bulk insert I get a conversion error. When I use the exact same format file and data file with an openrowset it works fine. I would prefer to use the BULK insert as I can make some generic stored procedures to handle all my imports and not have to code the column names in the SQL. Any suggestions?
BULK Insert stuff
From 'c:projects estdatalist.txt'
with
(FORMATFILE='c:projects estdatamyformat.xml')
insert into stuff (ExternalId, Description, ScheduledDate, SentDate, Name)
select *
from OPENROWSET (BULK 'c:projects estdatalist.txt',
FORMATFILE='c:projects estdatamyformat.xml')
as t1
The destination table has more columns than the data file. The Field IDs represent the ordinal position of the columns in the destination table. Column 1 in the destination table is an int identity. The conversion failure is from trying to convert column 5 to int which makes me think bulk insert is ignoring the name attributes in the XML and just trying to insert the columns into the table in order without skipping.
Hi, recently I encountered the following problem: I tried to execute a stored procedure on the newly installed SQL 2005 Server (now on x64 Win Server 2003) which imports an Excel-File into a DB table. We use OPENROWSET to access the Excel data. But I recognized this is dependent on Jet OLE DB which seems is not available for x64 windows.
Is there another way to import excel data using a stored procedure.
Hi ,I have been trying to connect to access database from SQL Server 7.0.This machine is having 7.0 as a default instance and 2000 as a namedinstance.Also the machine doesn't have access installed and Microsoft.Jet.4.0is of version SP8 for Windows 2000The access database is password protected.I have tried all, OPENROWSET, OPENDATASOURCE, linked server, and ODBC.These are some of the commands which I have tried but gives followingerror.*******************************************SELECT a.*FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','F:Geerimainilling.mdb';'bhagath';'bhagath', Employee)AS aServer: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Line 1Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot start your application.

I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.
The SQL Server is installed on SERVER-A. SERVER-A and SERVER-B are Windows 2003 servers on the same Windows 2003 domain. The SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services are running under the domain account SQLSERVICE. SQLSERVICE is a member of the Domain Admins group. The Domain Admins group is part of the local Administrators group on SERVER-B. The SQLSERVICE account has also explicitly been given Full Control to the folder referenced by \SERVER-BSHARE xp_cmdshell use has been enabled on the SQL Server.
If I run the following command in SQL:
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'whoami'the following is returned: DOMAINSQLSERVICE If I change the command to access the c: drive instead of a network drive, it executes successfully.
Can anyone shed some light on why I still cannot access any of the files in this folder using xp_cmdshell?
I'm trying to access Excel file from SQL Server management studio using OPENROWSET using the below query but getting the error listed below.
Query: SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=E:TestFilesExcelFile.xlsx', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]' )

When i am trying to start our hospital software based on SQL server 2000, it shows Following Error.Search Condition is not valid, (DBNETLIB) Connection Open (connect()). SQL server does not exist or excess denied. Due to Fetch data.I run our software in Windows 8.1, while it smothly runs in previous version of Windows XP and 7.
For a flexible import in our SQL database (SQL 2000 on a Windows 2003 server) we use OPENROWSET. In our development on a local instance of SQL Server, we have no problems with a connection to Accesss. However, when we deploy the same code with the same Access database to our test server we get an error indicating to use a Linked Server.
We set all neccessary parameters for allowing ad hoc queries and encounter no problems with queries to different SQL Servers and Oracle databases. Also, when we execute the query to the Access database on a local disk from a job, it works fine. Run the same query to an Access database on a fileshare from a job results in an error.
How come the OPENROWSET selection cannot be run from the query analyser or to an Access database on a fileshare? What security settings are blokking?
We use the following query: SELECT top 10 * FROM OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:Testdata est.mdb'; 'admin';'',Table1)
MS SQL Server 2005 Express. I'm trying to connect to Access DB (having System Database) via OPENROWSET. Everything (client, server and access file) is on local drive.
This works (ODBC):
select * from openrowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:MBK.mdb;SystemDB=C:SECURED.MDW;Uid=me;Pwd=pw;', 'select * from [Mbk]')
This works (Jet.OLEDB):
select * from opendatasource('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source=C:MBK.mdb;Jet OLEDBystem Database=C:SECURED.MDW;User ID=me;Password=pw;') ...Mbk
This won't work (Jet.OLEDB):
select * from openrowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'MS Access;Database=C:MBK.mdb;System Database=C:SECURED.MDW;UID=me;PWD=pw;', 'select * from [Mbk]')
saying ... "Wrong argument".
This won't work (Jet.OLEDB):
select * from openrowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'MS Access;Database=C:MBK.mdb;SystemDB=C:SECURED.MDW;UID=me;PWD=pw;', 'select * from [Mbk]')
saying ... "There are no permissions for usage of object C:MBK.mdb". It seems that it simply hasn't found system database file C:SECURED.MDW, cause when I change SystemDB=C:SECURED.MDW to something like BlahBlahBlah=C:SECURED.MDW the same message is shown.
So, what is the right syntax for stating System Database in OPENROWSET query string? And why 'System Database' won't work?
S: Running SQL Server Express V: Running SSIS package in VS.Net F: Shared folder host excel files
And an openrowset SQL statement: select * from openrowset(..... \Fexcel.xls....). This statement can be run in SS management studio connecting to S using my Windows logon(integration security) without any problem.
However, the same SQL running inside SSIS package (integration security using my Windows account) get the following error:

I am trying to simplify a query given to me by one of my collegues written using the query designer of Access. Looking at the query there seem to be some syntax differences, so to see if this was the case I thought I would import the database to my SQL Server Developer edition.
I tried to start the wizard from within SQL Server Management Studio Express as shown in one of the articles on MSDN which did not work, but the manual method also suggested did work.
Trouble is that it gets most of the way through the import until it spews forth the following error messages:
- Prepare for Execute (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: {332B4EB1-AF51-4FFF-A3C9-3AEE594FCB11}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not start session. Too many sessions already active.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020801c: Data Flow Task: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Source 33 - ATable" (2065) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard).
There does not seem to be any method of specifying a number of sessions, so I don't see how to get round the problem.
Does anyone know how I can get the import to work?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1]( [idCodeLevel] [int] NOT NULL, [idFirm] [int] NOT NULL, [valCodeFrom] [varchar](15) NOT NULL, [valCodeTo] [varchar](15) NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
[code]....
I googled and found out that I might have to use the format .fmt. But how can I convert a csv file to fmt. I have seen code to create fmt file from sql table.
I am trying to import a data file, which is tab delimited, using BULKINSERT. I have used BCP to create a format file, since the destinationtable has around 20 columns, but the data file has only three.Here's the problem: The columns I am trying to import comprise ID (anint identity column), Name (a varchar(255) column and Status (a smallint column). The data file contains identity values for the firstcolumn, so I am using the KEEPIDENTITY modifier. The Status column ismandatory, so I have set all rows in the data file to zero for thatcolumn. All of the other columns in the destination table either allowNULL or have default values. When I BULK INSERT the file using theformat file the identity columns are NOT imported and the Status columngets value 3376. The Name column is the only one that gets importedcorrectly. Here's the format file:8.031 SQLINT 0 4 " " 1 ID""2 SQLCHAR 0 0 " " 2 NameSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS3 SQLSMALLINT 0 2 "" 4 Status""Sorry it's a bit messy.Where is 3376 coming from, and why are my identity values for column IDnot being imported?
We are trying to import a flat file from a remote machine using the BULK INSERT command.
We have mapped the remote directory on the server.
we have used the following command.
Bulk insert table_name from my_servermy_sharefilename.txt
The error it gives is operating system Error number 5.( Access denied)
We are able to access the same file from the Windows explorer. We also refered the books online and as suggested, have set the System Path to the same share name.
I have imported data in my table using the bulk insert command. I was supposed to fill specific columns of my table with that data so I used a view to put them in the column I wanted.
The table looks like this now:
id | id_param | val_param +-----------+--------------+ 1 | no_tel | 742062141 2 | sex | 1 3 | age | 23 4 | no_tel | 765234157 5 | sex | 1 6 | age | 34
When I want to select only the val_param that is=1 for the id_param=sex using this interogation:
select * from bd_rox where id_param='sex' and val_param='1'
it returns no value and I don`t know why.The wanted result should look like this:
id | id_param | val_param +-----------+--------------+- 2 | sex | 1 5 | sex | 1
i have a log file, i am trying to import data from it to SQL in order to analyze the data (able to query on the data), however that task seems impossible. In fact the log file contains a varying number of column fields (error logged, various types of data logged demand varying number of columns). More than that the fields themself are hard to extract.
An example of data in my log is:xxxxxxxx is some alphanumeric chars2008-01-09 20:16:05,4784E36F.req,10.1.1.26,xxxxxxxxx,OK -- SMPP - xxxxxxx:xxxxx,Sender=xxxx;SMSCMsgId=2028eecc;Binary=1;DCS=8;Data=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx...2008-01-09 20:16:05,4784E338.req,10.1.1.26,xxxxxxxx,Retry Pending - ERROR: Timeout waiting for response from server or lost connection -- SMPP - xxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxx,Sender=xxxxx........
I may use regular expressions to extract the data, and maybe use a regular INSERT to put in the right table. Thus it seems like making a manual Bulk Insert(yeah and it may take much more time), it seems strange, can i use somehow some additional tool (in SQL package or external), to assist somehow.
Let me preface this request with the info that I am relatively new to sql server so I may be asking something that is rally basic, and/or is not a best practice but here goes....I need to import data from an excel spreadsheet - one of the columns may be null or may have an integer value. I'd like to replace any null values with a 1 during import so that calculations can be done with the field once the data are imported. Can someone give me an example of how to do this? I had planned to use the bulk insert option but if there's a better way please let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice.
I need to import (pereodicaly) large ammount of data to my CE database. When tested import on network this take a lot of time. That's why decided to send raw data in ASCII files (because of small size) and to import files to CE database.
Certainly, it's not a problem to write those cli by myself, but it's interesting if someone already did this...
