From SQL To Excel 12 Via A DataSet - Exports In Binary (xlsb)
Jan 29, 2008
Hi,
I am experimenting with taking a dataset from SQL and putting it directly into an excel via a DataSet. It works but the exported Excel is in "binary" format. Does anyone know of a way to get it directly into xlsx? I *may* end up doing it in a foreach anyway, but it would be too cool to be able to just transfer my dataset from one connection to another :-).
Thanks, here's my code:
DataSet dsXLData = new DataSet("XL");
string myQuery = "SELECT table1.Email,table2.FirstName FROM Contacts table1, Users table2 where table2.UserID = table1._UserID";
SqlConnection sqlcon = new SqlConnection(DataAcquire.ConnectionString);
SqlCommand comStatus = new SqlCommand(myQuery, sqlcon);
SqlDataAdapter dasql = new SqlDataAdapter();
The trouble I am having is that I have a drilldown report that exports the detail to Excel, but I want the summary exported to Excel.
I perform the following steps but get wrong results. Please help me identify the correct steps for the correct results. Thanks you.
1) Select Matrix. 2) Right click, select Properties. 3) Select tab Groups. 4) Select item in Columns list, click Edit. 5) Select tab Visibility. 6) Select Initial visibility: Hidden, and click okay to the Grouping and Sorting dialog box.
Now I can export summary to Excel okay, but now I can not expand the summary in the report itself, so I do the following:
7) Do one through six above (but do not close dialog box), then click visibility can be toggled by another report item. 8) Select the report item in the Report Item drop down list.
Now the report functions normally in the Reporting Services report web page, but when I export on the summary level, again it exports the detail to Excel, but what I want it to export is the summary.
I am building reports with red, amber, green highlighting........I am using 'Tomato', PaleGoldenrod' and 'LightGreen'....but the lightgreen turns to grey when exported to excel...
The only green I have found so far that exports ok is YellowGreen but it looks terrible inside a browser....
Is there some way I can get something like LightGreen to export to excel ok? Is there something that I might be able to do or is this a limitation in the rendering to excel?
I have a well-structured but also very large binary data-set that is generated by a C++ application every five minutes. The data needs to be accessed by SQL applications. Since data is generated every five minutes, performance is key, both for write and read. The data set is about 500MB.If data is written to the file system, the write performance doesn't involve SQL server. For reading it, I have a CLR to read the portions of the data that I need based on offset and length. That works and is very fast. The problem is that data is stored in the file system, so it is not self-contained within the database.
A second option that I haven't explored yet, is to write the data into a table as VARBINARY(MAX). I would read the data using SUBSTRING with appropriate offset and length. Performance of SQL write/read of binary data of this size, and whether there is a third option I haven't thought off. I'm using SQL Server 2014.
hi i used to export my tables to excel file but now i have tables which have binary (image) data what happens to them? is there any way to backup these data?
Hi, Is it possible to have sql write a file out as an RSS.XML file? Basically I have one table with one group by. The resulting displays: ----- New Items Item 1: Feb 2008 - Widget added to database Item 2: Jan 2008 - Cog added to database New Releases Item 1: Feb 2008 - Widget released for sale Item 2: Jan 2008 - Cog released for sale ----- I would like to know if it is possible for MSSQL to export this file as an RSS file so I will be able to have users subscribe to it. Thanks.
Main goal is to parse an Excel Worksheet and save it as a HTML table to SQL.
I have a web form (aspx) where a use is able to browse and upload an excel documnt. I then select the data from the worksheet and use a OleDBDataAdapter to build a Dataset from the Excel data. I fill the dataset with the data from the Excel document. What I need to do from this point has me lost. I need to re-engineer the excel data into a HTML table to display within a orgianl asp code. I was planning to build the html table...save it as a large string to SQL database table. And then from asp page - read the table and re-display it. Im not sure how to do this...anyone with experinece, please help. Other things I have tried. After I have the excel data saved in the dataset...I can read it via Readxml and display it within the asp.net code. So, I dont knwo if it is possible to save this dataset information as HTML to a string...?
Is there a way to read from a table to get values that will be contained within a "where" clause of another SQL statement that can be ready one by one(meaning the same sql statement will be executed mutliple times) that will export a tab delimted file?
I have a table with 10 rows with a varbinary column
I wish to concatenate all the binary column into a single binary column and then write that to another table within the database. This application splits a binary file (Word or PDF document) into multiple segments (this is Column2 as below)
I'm using a bit-wise comparison to effectively store multiple values in one column. However once the number of values increases it starts to become too big for a int data type.you also cannot perform a bitwise & on two binary datatypes. Is there a better way to store the binary data rather than int or binary?
I have a report with multiple datasets, the first of which pulls in data based on user entered parameters (sales date range and property use codes). Dataset1 pulls property id's and other sales data from a table (2014_COST) based on the user's parameters. I have set up another table (AUDITS) that I would like to use in dataset6. This table has 3 columns (Property ID's, Sales Price and Sales Date). I would like for dataset6 to pull the Property ID's that are NOT contained in the results from dataset1. In other words, I'd like the results of dataset6 to show me the property id's that are contained in the AUDITS table but which are not being pulled into dataset1. Both tables are in the same database.
I have a small number of rows in a dataset, Table 1. There is a CLOB on a large dataset, Table 2. They join on a PK. I would like to retrieve this CLOB and add it to the data flow for Table1. In short I want to emulate the following:
Table 1: Small table without CLOB, 10 rows. Table 2: Large table with CLOB, 10,000,000 rows
select CLOB from table2 where pk = (select pk from table1)
I want this to return the CLOBs for the small number of rows in Table 1. The PK is indexed obviously so it should be a fast look up.
Table 1 and Table 2 live on different Oracle databases. How do I perform this operation efficiently in SSIS? It seems the Lookup and Merge Join wont do this.

I found out the data I need for my SQL Report is already defined in a dynamic dataset on another web service. Is there a way to use web services to call another web service to get the dataset I need to generate a report? Examples would help if you have any, thanks for looking
Hi, I have a stored procedure attached below. It returns 2 rows in the SQL Management studio when I execute MyStorProc 0,28. But in my program which uses ADOHelper, it returns a dataset with tables.count=0. if I comment out the line --If @Status = 0 then it returns the rows. Obviously it does not stop in if @Status=0 even if I pass @status=0. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyStorProc]
(
@Status smallint,
@RowCount int = NULL,
@FacilityId numeric(10,0) = NULL,
@QueueID numeric (10,0)= NULL,
@VendorId numeric(10, 0) = NULL
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF
If @Status = 0
BEGIN
SELECT ...... END If @Status = 1 BEGIN SELECT...... END
i have two datasets.one dataset have old data from some other database.second dataset have original data from sql server 2005 database.both database have same field having id as a primary key.i want to transfer all the data from first dataset to new dataset retaining the previous data but if old dataset have the same id(primary key) as in the new one then that row will not transfer. but if the id(primary key) have changed values then the fields updated with that data.how can i do that.
D2 is a list of data. each row in D2 has a classid. D2 may or may not have all the classids in D1. all classids in D2 must be in D1.
I want to show fields in D2 and group the data with classids in D1 and show every group as a seperate table. If no data in D2 is available for a classid, It shows a empty table.
=CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!Released_DT.Value = Fields!Date2.Value, Fields!Name.Value, Nothing)) Released_DT = a date - 09/03/2015 or 09/02/2015 Date2 = returns another date value in this case 09/03/2015
What I'm trying to do is: count distinct number of people (Fields!Name.Value) if the Relased_DT = Date2.My IIF statement is returning a zero value.
Hi every body... I have a probleme I have a web Services which contains a method getValue(IDEq (int), idIndicator(int), startTime(dateTime), endTime(dateTime)) I need to call this method. But my problem is how pass parameter ? I see the tab Param but it isn't work as I wait,... maybe I do a mistake...
I want that statTime and endTime are select by the user via a calendar for example... now idIndicator and idEq was result of an other dataSet from a xml datasource...
But I don't how integrate dynamically... I try to enter a parameter via the param tab, and create and expression : =First(Fields!idEq.Value, "EquipmentDataSet") but when i execute the query, the promter display <NULL>... So I don't know how to do and if it is possible ! I hope someone can help me ! Thank you !

Hello,I am trying to serialize (binary) a class and save it in a database. I followed a few examples I found in internet and this is what I came up with: 1 ' Rows 2 <Serializable()> _ 3 Public Class Rows 4 Implements ISerializable 5 6 Private _Rows As New Generic.List(Of Row) 7 Public Property Rows() As Generic.List(Of Row) 8 Get 9 Return _Rows 10 End Get 11 Set(ByVal value As Generic.List(Of Row)) 12 _Rows = value 13 End Set 14 End Property ' Rows 15 16 ' New 17 Public Sub New() 18 End Sub ' New 19 20 ' New 21 Public Sub New(ByVal siRows As SerializationInfo, ByVal scRows As StreamingContext) 22 End Sub ' New 23 24 ' GetObjectData 25 Public Sub GetObjectData(ByVal siRows As SerializationInfo, ByVal scRows As StreamingContext) Implements ISerializable.GetObjectData 26 27 siRows.AddValue("Rows", Me.Rows) 28 29 End Sub ' GetObjectData 30 31 Public Sub Serialize(ByVal filename As String) 32 33 Dim sRows As Stream = Stream.Null 34 Try 35 sRows = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite) 36 Dim bfRows As New BinaryFormatter 37 bfRows.Serialize(sRows, Me) 38 Finally 39 sRows.Close() 40 End Try 41 42 End Sub ' Serialize 43 44 Public Shared Function Deserialize(ByVal filename As String) As Rows 45 46 Dim sRows As Stream = Stream.Null 47 Try 48 sRows = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read) 49 Dim bfRows As New BinaryFormatter 50 Return CType(bfRows.Deserialize(sRows), Rows) 51 Finally 52 sRows.Close() 53 End Try 54 55 End Function ' Deserialize 56 57 End Class ' Rows After serializing the class I need to save it in an a SQL 2005 database.But all the examples I followed use the filename ... Anyway, do I need to do something to save this into an SQL 2005 database or can I use it as follows? And how can I use this?This is the first time I do something like this so I am a little bit confused.Thanks,Miguel
Hy friends!I'm new in WebApplications that have SQL SERVER DB.My problem is that...In the DataBase I have a table with varbinary column and in the program I want save in this column a value of binary[] variable! How I can make it?Another question.... If I want select (by a query in the application) the value of the binary column, where I store it? because if I want select an integer value I take this in a int variable, and if I want select an string value from a DataBase I take this in a string variable..but How I can make it with binary column?Thanks in advance!!
Hello, I have a table which uses binary data to store passwords. How do I view the contents of the "binary data" column, ie. the passwords? It just shows it as <binary data>?
I have a binary column with length 20 in SQL server table. I store dynamically C# byte[] value range from 0 to 19. So for example, If I store length of 16 and when I try to retrive it back into byte [] in C# it returns whole length 20. When I see in debug it has value from 0 to 15 which I want to use but from 16 to 19 is zero. How can I get just length value which I stored.
I use DataRow to get whole row and from the row object I extract byte [] based on column name.
I have a field in my database defined as a bit. I need to bind this field to a checkbox I have stored in a datgrid on my webform. I'm having problmes finding the right call in the html
We have a dll that sends a hexadecimal data (const. length) to MS SQL Server database. It's declared as String in VB, the db column data type is binary.
Here is the SQL String that has been executed successfully in Query Analyzer:
When I am trying to do the same thing in the insert stored procedure, I get an error message: "Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type binary, table 'MyDB.dbo.MyTABLE', column 'MyCOLUMN'. Use the convert function to run this query."
How does one go about getting a graphic image into SQL Server 6.5. For example, let`s say I have a company logo that I want to include in a company profile table to be used on some reports. The graphic is now a .BMP or .GIF or .JPG file.
