Usinf OPENROWSET To Read From A .ttx File
Mar 5, 2008
I have a .ttx file similar to this:
"xxxxxxxxx" "dc8" "184:30" "168:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" 0 0 0 1
I want to read from this file from T-SQL, I saw in a previous post that its possible to do it using OPENROWSET (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190312.aspx)
I don€™t have a clue what parameters i must use on the OPENROWSET T-sql command (provider name to ttx ?)
I would appreciate if anyone could give an example of how to do this
Thanks !
SQL 2012 :: OPENROWSET To Read In Data From Excel 2010 File (XLSX)
Jun 12, 2015I have a test server (TEST1) running SQL 2012 and Windows 2012R2. One of the developers wants to use OPENROWSET to read in data from an Excel 2010 file (an xlsx file).
I have loaded the Microsoft Drivers in "AccessDatabaseEngine_64.exe" and enabled the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries option in SQL.
This is the sample code we are working with:
SELECT
X.MEMBID
FROM OPENROWSET(
'MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=etworkserverFolder1Folder2MEMBIDs.xlsx',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'
) AS X
I can run the sample query from my laptop with SSMS (I have admin rights) and I can also run it as SA from my laptop. So all is good, right?
But if I RDC into TEST1, I cannot run the query. I get this error:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".But wait! It gets better.
I can run the query as SA from TEST1.
And of course, the developer can't run it either.
And it works fine in the production server.
I'm thinking the basics are there but something isn't right in some permission somewhere.
MDF File Cannot Be Read By SQL Server 2005
Feb 10, 2006Newbee question: I am trying to use some of the "101" samples in VS 2005 with SQL Server 2005. These samples use SQL server express MDF files.
The error is: "... you cannont open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.ext. You must re-create the database."
Do I need to install SQL server express? What are the issues with installing express when I am already running SQL Server 2005?
How do I update or "re-create" the express MDF database file in SQL Server 2005?
Thanks!
Any Idea Why OpenRowSet To Open Excel File Doesn't Work Well In SQL 2005?
Mar 3, 2007Maybe it worked once, but in most time it doesn't work, query like below
select top 10 *
from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webablefilessitefiles4000010
eibcactive.xls',
'select * from [crap2$]')
I got error
OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
but the same query can run without any problem on a SQL 2000 server run on a server in the same network.
Any idea?

Import Excel-File (OPENROWSET) On X64 SQL Server
Jan 7, 2008Hi, 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.
thank you in advance, rene
OPENROWSET T-SQL Function
Jul 11, 2006Hi everyone,
I have some doubts about OPENROWSET T-SQL function . According to my knowledges about this, openrowset function provide us to use a data from a different Server only that time that we use this function. After we use this function, there is no any linked server trace on the local server. So is this true ?
I see that everyone use different parameter for this function. For instance, everyone firstly use OLE DB name and then the second srvprovider name changes programmer to programmer, so why ?
And lastly, I wonder about the relationship between ad hoc method and openrowSet function.
Thanks
SQL Server 2012 :: Loading Image From File System Into Query Using Openrowset
May 14, 2014I have a directory with images and a table in my DB with the path of each file. The main application allow me to create reports where I can display an image, so I was thinking to use a query like:
SELECT [ID]
,[PT_CODE]
,[FILE_PATH],
CASE WHEN [FILE_PATH] IS NOT NULL THEN
(SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK [FILE_PATH], SINGLE_BLOB) TT)
END
AS IMAGE_LOADED
FROM [DB].[dbo].[TABLE_MR_FILES]But I keep getting the error:
Incorrect syntax near 'FILE_PATH'.I have try multiple combinations without luck to make the OPENROWSET read the path stored in the column [FILE_PATH]. What am I missing?
Note: I am using MSSQL 2012. I don't want to import the images into the DB just load them in the fly as needed by the report runned from the application. I have full access to the DB so if a store procedure is the solution I can go with it.

Restoring 2000 Backups On 2005 With Read-only Db And File Groups
Mar 30, 2007We have a set of databases some are fully read-only others have read-only file groups, is there any way to restore backups of these taken on an MSDE 2000 to an SQL Express 2005 instance?
When doing the inplace upgrade we change these to read-write before the upgrade and set them back after the upgrade.
These databases are used in the field by customers althought the controlled upgrade requires a backup before (and blocks if it fails) and tries a backup after if the post upgrade backup fails (due to disk space) we might need to recover from this odd situation.
The only solution I have is install MSDE some place restore to this then do the controlled upgrade again, any other ideas?

I've 64 bit SQL Server.
Attach the code, the Numeric field is SCORE.

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET Does Not Respect ORDER BY Clause On SQL Server 2005 EE
Jul 3, 2007Hi,
I need to pass data from a SQL Server data base to an Access data base. To do this I use the OPENROWSET as followed:
FR
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:Aux.mdb'; 'Admin'; '',Test) (Id, Name, TypeId) SELECT Id,Name,TypeId
FROM Test
ORDER BY TypeId
FR
On SQL Server 2000 or MSDE the data is transfered as expected, respecting the specified order. But when I run the same clause on a SQL 2005 EE the data is transfered, but the order is not respected.
So my question is if I have to activate an option for the order to be respected or if this is a bug.
Best regards,

OPENROWSET On XML File Through HTTP
May 7, 2008Hi everyone,
I am currently using the OPENROWSET command to read a XML file.
-- Use OPENROWSET to read an XML file from the file system
SELECT @xml = BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c:file.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) TempXML
However, the file I wish to process is being generated externally and published through a web server. The file is constantly being updated, and I need to have the latest data frequently. Is it possible to do something along the lines of:
-- Use OPENROWSET to read an XML file from the file system
SELECT @xml = BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'http://webserver/file.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) TempXML
If it is not possible, can someone recommend the best method to copy/download the file? I have considered standalone Windows Services and utilizing SQL Server. Are there significant pros or cons to either approach? Are there other methods I am not awere of? Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

From Sql Column To File, OPENROWSET?
Aug 28, 2006Hi There
I am using OPENROWSET to import a file from disk to a varbinary(max) column in sql server.
However as far as i can see OPENROWSET is only to import into Sql Server. However i need to reverse this as well, by that i mean export a varbinary(max) column data to a file on disk. How can i do this ? (The file is a compress text file).
How does this work for file types, i mean you can import any file as binary but when you export it back to disk will the file typr still work, will a .xls or a.exe imprted and exported like this still function 100%.
Thanx?

DROP TABLE tests
go
DECLARE @SQLSTR varchar(255)

CREATE TABLE tests (Results varchar(255) NOT NULL)
INSERT INTO tests EXEC('master..xp_cmdshell ''ISQL -E -Q"dbcc checkdb(master)"''')
