Hi all,
I have a large Excel file with one large table which contains data, i've built a SQL Server DataBase and i want to fill it with the data from the excel file.
How can it be done?
Thanks, Michael.
I have a predefined excel sheet template.I want to create excel sheet report by exporting data from sql server tables into this excel sheet template.
This package i will be calling from C#.net windows form application.
I want to know is this is possible through Sql server integration service (SSIS) ?

I am transferring data from Oracle tables into text files, and facing these errors.
1. I have a varaible working as an expression and my query goes into that variable and onwards that variable is passed to dataflow task, which parse the query. my query is simple saying "Select * from PLS.ABC" where PLS is my schema, but the task generates error "Opening a rowset for "Select * from PLS.ABC" failed. check that the table exists in the database. and surely the table is there.
2. I have a foreach loop that iterates through all the table names and the table names are passed onwards to the varaible query, the dataflow task inside the foreach loop gets the variable query and will generate text files based on tablenames which i have supplied in another variable to the connectionstring property of the flatfile destination. Is it possible or not. all the tables have different columns and i need the output in text files.
Dear All,
I am working on a project to migrate a .net desktop application to web based application using ASP.NET 2.0.
The present app has lots of tables with data in sql server 2000. The new app is to have Oracle 10.2 G as data store.
Although the data store is being changed most of the tables in the present database will remain same along with the data they hold.
My problem is:
1) how to transfer the tables to the new datastore 10.2 G in an automated way?
After all it's not possible to create each table afresh in Oracle and then insert records into each table one by one. If that is done it will take atleast few months if not years.
2) can I export the tables to a xml file and then import it from Oracle.How to do that?
It has become a nightmare for me.
Pls suggest the easiest way and which takes the minimum time.
A solution to the problem will be gratefully accepted.
Thanks.

I have managed to add the DTS wizard as a tool and saved the routine. However, I do not know how to schedule my PC to automatically run this DTS procedure. I have tried to use scheduled tasks, but it does not seem to want to start.
Pls help.
Using SQL Server 2005 Standard
The basic question
What is the best way to export data from an excel spreadsheet into a sql server table?
My Application
Getting data indicating hours worked from employee timesheets into a centralised DB, then running analysis reports on it.
The columns and datatypes in the excel sheet are as follows:
Week (int) | EmployeeID (int) | JobNum (int) | ActivityNum (int) | Hours (int)
There will be a new excel file each week that, once the employee has filled out the data, would need to be saved and exported to the sql table. The columns in the sql table are exactly the same as the excel table with the addition of a RecordID primary key column.
Can I create a macro button that they can push when they have completed their timesheet OR would it be better to tell the employees to save copies of their timesheets in a certain folder on the company network and then run a batch on all the files in the folder at the end of the day?
Or is there another more efficient solution? Would I use SSIS for this or something else?
I've never used SSIS before and am a newbie at SQL Server too.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
I thought this should be easy... but, so far it has not been. I want to export data from SQL Server using a query to an Excel spreadsheet. I'm using SQL Server ODBC for the source connection and a Connection To Excel as my destination source. The spreadsheet exists and has the first row with column names. My mappings and query work fine. I don't have any warnings before trying to execute. BUT it will not insert the data into the spreadsheet. Here are the errors I'm getting:
[Destination - TEST$ [28]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
[Destination - TEST$ [28]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - TEST$" (28) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
TEST$ is the sheet that I am trying to add the data to and I'm using Excel 2003.
My query is simple:
SELECT OrderDate AS Date, VendorName AS Vendor, Item AS Product, TotalCost AS Amount
FROM osv_Ordercaldwecs319
All fields have been converted to varchar although I started with not trying to convert them so I have tried both ways.
What is causing the errors? Where can I look to find the problem? I'm guessing it's a data conversion problem but I made everything varchar and no formating on the spreadsheet (although I've tried that as well)
HELP please!!!
Thanks,
Linda
I need to export data, from within a MSSql stored procedure to excel. Right now we use DTS, but its cumbersome and the users always screw it up.
I would usually just send the tabel to a .csv fiel and pick it up in excel, but I have a field that has preceding zeros and excel truncates them and uses a general fromat.
Any ideas
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been tasked with the following: Export data from old table, to newly created table(s). I say tables because there's three destination tables total, and only two source tables. The two old tables are virtually the same, so the new table will be a combination of the two. More importantly I'll need to chop out some data from the old tables and create new details with them. As you can see, the old table was very "flat" in the sense that they kept adding new fields for bits of detail data (10 for one type of detail, 15 for another type of detail). I'd like to house that data in separate linkable tables. This is an example of the old and new data structure:
OldTable1 (SOURCE)
Name | Acct | Detail1Min | Detail1Max | ~~~ | Detail10Min | Detail10Max | DiffDetail1Min | DiffDetail1Max | DiffDetail1Rate | ~~~ | DiffDetail15Min | DiffDetail15Max | DiffDetail15Rate |
OldTable2 (SOURCE)
Name | Acct | Detail1Min | Detail1Max | ~~~ | Detail10Min | Detail10Max | DiffDetail1Min | DiffDetail1Max | DiffDetail1Rate | ~~~ | DiffDetail15Min | DiffDetail15Max | DiffDetail15Rate |
| | |
| | |
VVV
NewTable (Destination)
AutoID | Name | Acct | TYPE | * Newly created field so I know which table it came from (OldTable1 or OldTable2?)
NewTableDetail (Destination)
AutoID | NewTableID | DetailMin | DetailMax |
NewTableDiffDetail (Destination)
AutoID | NewTableID | DiffDetailMin | DiffDetailMax | DiffDetailMax |
In the new data structure, the AutoID from the main table (NewTable) will link to the two newly created detail tables using NewTableID.
Hello Everybody,
Not sure if this is the correct Forum, anyway lemme me know your views. I
have SQL Server running in two remote machines (in different geographical
locations). I need to import a database from one SQL Server
installation to another installation. What is best possible solution:
1) Transfering the .mdf and .ldf file from one installation to another installation
2) Generating the records of all the tables in the database to a common
file format CSV and then loading it in destination database. If this is
ok then how to generate import and export data using CSV format
3) Any other options?

Hi all...
I noticed that when transferring tables from the local server to the remote server that some colums lost its properties ... For example, If I am sepcifying a column to have identity seed and identity increment, it is transferred to the server without these properties...
How make a carbon copy of tables from my local to the remote server ?
Thanks in advance
I need to export data from multiple tables into one single file. The big problem here is that the tables will have different column types.
I am attempting to create something that allows users to be able to send me the contents of their tables's, through either email or ftp. I would prefer to make it easier for them so they only have to deal with one file, instead of the multiple files that bcp and dts create when exporting from multiple tables.
I was thinking of using DTS or BCP and then join (append) the files (either zip them or append the files together in some fashion), but I was hoping that there was an easier method out there.
Any ideas on how I may accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I'm fairly new to MS SQL & I have a problem copying tables from one d/b to another. When I do an import or export select Copy tables, the tables & the data get transferred, but all the Identities are set to NO. My D/Bs have 188 tables & it's a pain to reset all of them manually.
Is there a setting I don't know about that will transfer the tables & maintain the Identity?
(I'm using SQL Server Management Studio 9.0)

Hi.
I've tried to create a SSIS package to simply export a bunch of tables as flat files, and am having troubles because when the for each loop hits the second table the column mappings in the flat file destination are not synchronised with its schema.
I created a for each loop with an enumerator that returns the table names and sets a user variable.
I created a data flow task which dynamically connects to the table name variable.
In the Flat File Destination there is a column mapping property, but I don't know how to reset these mappings on each iteration.
Any ideas?

As my sql statement is complex joining many tables. I am wondering wheteher there are other best ways to deal such type of transformations.
I am sure this is very simple question but yours feedback will be much appreciated.

I have to develop a simple ETL package that reads data from a csv file and writes them to an xls file; the problem is that when the number of rows exceeds the maximum number of rows allowed for an xls file i get an error.
There is a way to solve this problem? for example adding a new sheet or creating a new file?

I have an OLEDB source that i would want to ideally take in Excel with a dynamic file name. Right now, i am exporting the data successfully in a flat file (csv) destination. I checked the integrity and it seems like when i try opening the file with Excel ,one of the columns is not fitting in one cell, instead, its taking two cell space ?
With Excel , i was getting the error message saying "Field Name ABC cannot convert between unicode and non unicode string data types".
Any help is appreciated...

We have a requirement where in we need to sort the data after exporting to excel .But when we are trying to apply the filter on the excel and trying to sort we are getting an error ..
Is there any workaround for this??
I am curious what the "best practice" is for exporting data programmaticly from SQL Server to Excel. Â Is it best to do it straight from SQL Server, or should I do it with in my C# code? Â My program is going to pull the data, put in the excel file, then email the file. Â So I could write an SP that gets the data and puts it in the file, then have the C# code run the SP and email the file; Or I could have the code do everything, pull the data, export it & email it.
If it is considered better to have the SP do it, why and what is the best way? ROWSET functions?
