I have a problem when I try to import some test data from Excel to SQL Sever 2005.
My Excel file (Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP2) contains the following rows:
Test data
1
2A
3
I use SQL Sever Import and Export Wizard from Microsoft SQL Sever Management Studio.
On the Choose a Data Source page, in the Data source list, I select Microsoft Excel and verify that the Excel version box contains Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and the First Row has column names check box is selected.
On the Specify Table Copy or Query page I select Copy data from one or more tables or views
On the Select Source Tables and Views page I select Sheet1$ check box in Source column and write [MyTestDB].[dbo].[TestData] in Destination column. Click Edit Mappings..
On the Column Mappings page in Mappings table I see:
Test data Test data float ¦
I dont understand why I see float data type!!! It should be nvarchar (¦).
OK, I change float to nvarchar (10) manually and click OK, Next and Finish.
After importing data is completed I go to the new table Test data? and look at the imported data.
I dont understand again - why I see NULL instead of 2A?.
So I have such data:
1
NULL
3
Can anybody help me how to get 2A instead of null?
Thank you.
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error". OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.". Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
I wanted to export data from sqlserver and import into excel. My issue here is, when i import into excel, i wanted to update the records in excel if the same record exists in excel. Any one can help me on this...
now, how do i import excel 2007 files in SSIS? i don't have office 2007 installed on my computer, but i've got some .xslx that i would like to try ro import. i tried to create an OLEDB connection, but i don't know which provider to choose.
anyway, can i do it without the sp2 or office 2007 installed on my server?
I need to import data from excel file to SQLserver. What is the best way to do this? Please give as much explanations as possible (code example would be very-very helpful).
I want to import data from an excel sheet to SqlServer.... I use a linked server... I execute the following code:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ExcelSource', 'Jet 4.0', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls',NULL, 'Excel 5.0' GO
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin N'ExcelSource', false, sa, N'ADMIN', NULL GO
SELECT * FROM ExcelSource...Sheet1$ GO
and I get the error:
Server: Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 OLE DB provider 'ExcelSource' does not contain table 'Sheet1$'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table. OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName='ExcelSource', TableName='Sheet1$'].
When I execute the command:
select * from OpenRowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=c:ook1.xls',Sheet1$)
this is thiru from India, hope i shall get answers here for my questions.
1. I need to import an Excel spread sheet to a remote sql server database through ASP.Net web application. I brief the process im following now please go through it.
Import Process:
a. select a fiile(.xls) and upload it to server. b. using M/S Odbc Excel driver, and the uploaded excel file as datasource, c. query the excel sheet to populate a dataset. d. iterate through the rows of the dataset(I could not bulk copy the excel data, because have to check the database, if record exists then update, else insert) to import to the SQL Database
Performance issues: 1. I have to import spreadsheets having upto 60,000 records or even more at a time. 2. Is this a good option to use a webapplication for this task (I use this approach because my boss wants to do so). 3. some times the excel file size grows up to 7 mb(Though i shall adjust config settings, uploading and then querying a 7 mb file shall be an ovverhead i think.) 4. is there any possibility to get the datasource with out uploading the file to the server (Like modifying the connection string as "datasource=HtmlFileControl.PostedFile" instead,)(I tried this but it gives me "unspecified error").
please analyse my problem and suggest me a possible solution. I thank all, for your efforts, of any kind. have a nice time, ........thiru

An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E09. The ProcessInput method on component "Excel Destination" (22) failed with error code 0xC0202009. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0202009.
I am using framework 1.0 to do the above tasks. Since there is no fileupload function in .net 1.0, i will be using the html control tools (file field) to do the upload option.

I installed Visual Studio 2005 (released edition) that I downloaded from MSDN, and then went to install the released edition of SQL Server 2005. On the SQL Server 2005 setup "components to install" screen, all but the last choice ("Workstation components, Books Online, and development tools" are grayed out so I cannot install them.The machine on which I was installing these had just been re-imaged and was clean.How do I get around this so I can install SQL Server2005?

We do our development in SQLServer 2005. We want to backup and restore our database into the client's side who use SQLServer 2000. Backup and restore cannot work. We try to script the database in 2005 and change the option script to 2000. This fails also. What other option I can use?
