How To Use SQL Svr 2005 Express In Excel 2003 VBA Code?

Jun 23, 2006

Hello,

how can I use SQL Svr 2005 Express as database engine in background through VBA code in Excel 2003?

I want to CREATE and DELETE tables and SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE data. Is it possible to use ADO or other database objects to get in contact with SQL Svr 2005 Express?

Thanks a lot.

TSQL + VBA Excel 2003 - Importing Data From MS Excel 2003 To SQL SERVER 2000 Using Multi - Batch Processing

Sep 11, 2007

Hi,
I need to import an SQL string from MS Excel 2003 to SQL SERVER 2000.
The string I need to import is composed by 5 different several blocks and looks like:



Code Snippet

CommandLine01 = "USE mydb"
CommandLine02 = "SELECT Block ..."
CommandLine03 = "GO
ALTER TABLE Block...
GO"
CommandLine04 = "UPDATE Block..."
CommandLine05 = "SELECT Block..."

The detail of the SQL string is at:
http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=2093921&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1



I am trying to implement OJ's suggestion:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2117223&SiteID=1
to use multi - batch processing to import the string to SQL SERVER, something like:




Code Snippet
Dim SqlCnt, cmd1, cmd2, cmd3
'set the properties and open a connection

cmd1="use my_db"
cmd2="create table mytb"
cmd3="insert into mytb"

SqlCnt.execute cmd1
SqlCnt.Execute cmd2
SqlCnt.Execute cmd3

Below is the code (just partial) I have, and I need help to complete it.
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.




Code Snippet
Function TestConnection()
Dim ConnectionString As New ADODB.Connection
Dim RecordSet As New ADODB.RecordSet

ConnectionString = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=myServer;Database=myDBName;Uid=UserName;Pwd=Password"
ConnectionString.Open

CmdLine01 = " USE " & myDB
CmdLine02 = " SELECT ACCOUNTS.FULLNAME FROM ACCOUNTS" ...

CmdLine03 = "GO

DTS Code Works Only With VS 2003 But Not With VS 2005 ?

Feb 21, 2007

Hi;

I wanted to use the following code to run a DTS package from a 2005 Web Page code behind partial class. This code works fine in a VB 2003 module

going against  SQl Srvr 2000.

Here is the code: (It initiates from a button click handler)

Dim conn As New SqlConnection("initial catalog=MY_Data;server= XYZ081552X7X441TRSQL;integrated security=SSPI")

Dim hold1 As Integer

Dim hold_source As String = ""

Dim hold_desc As String = ""

Try

conn.Open()

Catch ex1 As Exception

MsgBox("The Test connection failed to open" & vbCrLf & ex1.Message)

End Try

MsgBox("About to create a DTS object")

Dim oPackage As New DTS.Package2Class (Compiler doesn't like this line) Type DTS.Package2Class is not defined.

 

Dim oStep As DTS.Step (Or this one) Type DTS.step is not defined. 

oPackage.LoadFromSQLServer("XYZ81552X7X441TRSQL", , , DTS.DTSSQLServerStorageFlags.DTSSQLStgFlag_UseTrustedConnection, , , , "cpyPrinters2Excel", )

For Each oStep In oPackage.Steps

oStep.ExecuteInMainThread = True

Next

oPackage.Execute()

For Each oStep In oPackage.Steps

If oStep.ExecutionResult = DTS.DTSStepExecResult.DTSStepExecResult_Failure Then

oStep.GetExecutionErrorInfo(hold1, , )

Else

End If

Next

oPackage.UnInitialize()

oPackage = Nothing

conn.Close()

 

Has Microsoft changed the DTS objects so that they work only with  SQL Srv 2005 ?

Thanks for your insights.

I have around 600 worksheets that i need to import into sql server that are in a somewhat non-table like format.

Could anyone post an example or a link with some examples or explaination code. Thanks in advance.

Excel 2003 To SQL Server 2005 OLAP Cube Timeout Issues

Nov 13, 2007


Hola

We are getting symptoms of a 30 second timeout irrespective of what we do, but only on certain machines. Can anyone shed any light on how the connection timeout can be set, as there seems to be a factor overiding any settings we set?

We are working in Excel (2003) connecting to an Analysis Services 2005 cube through a website https://Datasource connection. When we edit the connection string that the file is using (either by forcing use of an exterior .ODC file and editing the settings in there, or by converting the xls spreadsheet into an xml spreadsheet and manually editing the connection string in there) we get no joy: after 30 seconds the error appears:


"Either a connection cannot be made to the [my server address], or Analysis services is not running on the computer specified".

This error is itself rubbish: If a smaller query (one that takes < 30 seconds) is run in the same Excel file and Pivot Table, it connects fine.
What really doesn't make sense is that the exact same file works on some machines and not others. These machines are all inside the same network (and the machines that work have been proven to work on a number of other networks). What's more there is no pattern to the machine capabilities - some newer / faster machines get the error. These machines (that work and do not) have excel 2003 SP3. (Another of the ones that works has Excel 2007).

Changing the connection string to include "Timeout=300" or "Connect Timeout=300" makes no difference, and "Command Timeout" causes a different error so that it wont even attempt to run the query (as opposed to collapsing after 30 seconds of normal progress).
Similarly in the .ODV the tags <ODC:CommandTimeout>, <CommandTimeout>, <ODC:Connect Timeout>, <ODC:Command Timeout>, <meta name=CommandTimeout content=1000> etc. have no effect (the file still gets the 30 seconds error rather than just giving up so no way of working out correct syntax)

The only pattern we can see, and we can't fix this, is that the machines that work have Retail versions of excel, and the ones that do not have corporately licensed versions of excel. We cannot see any difference between them in the Help >Abouts, but thought it might be worth mentioning.

Any help would be fantastically appreciated, we are out of ideas.
Thanks kindly

Amundo

SQL 2005 Express And Access 2003 SP2 Adp. Please Help

Mar 22, 2007

Hi all,

I have SQL Server 2005 Express running and I am creating a database through access (Access 2003 SP2) and no problem it creates the database...

But when I try to create other objects like views and database diagrams, I get the message below which is quite detailed but I just don't know where to get the service packs or updates needed to have this problem solved. Can anyone point out what the problem and the fixes are?

Here is the message that I get:

"This version of MS Office Access doesn't support design changes with the version of MS SQL Server
your access project is connected to. See MS Office Update Website for the latest information and
downloads (on the Help menu, click Office on the Web). YOur design changes will not be saved.

You have connected to a version of SQL server later than SQL Server 2000. This version of Visual Studio
or Access that you are using was released before teh version of SQL Server to which you are connected.
For this reason you might encounter problems.

Please check with MS to see if there is a service pack that you should apply to Visual Studio or Office
in order to get support for the version of SQL Server to which you are connected.

You can continue but any new object types might not be enumerated, and it will not be possible to
save any objects or database diagrams thatyou create using the Visual Database Tools."



Thanks

Access 2003 With SQL Express 2005

Nov 15, 2006

I am a fresher in using SQL with access.

I am using a code in Ms access to link a table that is in Sql express 2005.

I use this linked table name to download records to the local Access table.

The link is then dropped in Access.

Is there any way to write back records into the linked Sql table from Access.

It does not allow me to delete / add / modify records of a linked table.

How can I do this.

Can I Use MS SQL Server Express 2005 In Visual Studio 2003?

Aug 3, 2007




I have been experiencing troubles since I was decided to install SQL Server Expr 2005 in my PC, first I needed to remove the .NET framework 1.1 in my computer because it is suggested before installing sql server expr 2k5 that cause my vs.net 2003 to stop loading because sql express runs in .NET framework 2.0 and vs.net 2003 is in .Net Framework 1.1 then what I did is to install .Net Framework 1.1 in my PC together with .Net Framework 2.0 and my vs.net started runnning again.

My problem now is when I try to connect to a database using Data Link Properties in the Server Explorer it says "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen](Connect()).]Sql server does not exist or access denied." how could this happen if I can see the sql server in the Server Explorer in my VS.net environment?

Please somebody help me I am just learning to this language and I think I cannot proceed to the next few chapters remaining because of this.

Thank you very much!

Access 2003 To SQL Server 2005 Express No Hyperlink

Dec 1, 2006

I upgraded an Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005 Express with the upsize wizard- worked great! Have a field that needs to be a hyperlink data type. There is no datatype in SQL that is hyperlink. Even if it were a text field, possibly inserting a hyperlink would work, but the insert hyplink in Access is unavailable, because the datasource is sql, maybe. I have a command button that ties to this function which won't work, obviously since it is not available. I need this field, it points to a file containing data that is being imported into the database. Huge piece of the database functionality. Making it easy for the user to find the file and using the vba to convert the data.

Saw the option of jump to url, but I don't think that will work? couldn't find the exact syntax either.



Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

SQL 2005 Express And Visual Studio 2003 - Connecting

Jul 20, 2006

I have Visual Studio 2003 and had used it successfully with MSDE. I recently upgraded to SQL 2005 Express and cannot seem to connect to the SQL server. it appears in the list of servers on localhost, but when I try to create a new database it tells me that it "cannot create databases on this server." It will not even open up any existing databases.

I have .NET 2.0 installed. I uninstalled SQL and reinstalled it, but nothing seems to help. I feel I must be missing something, but do not know what.

I no longer have the MSDE installation files, so I hope I can get Studio to talk to SQL Express.

Any help is appreciated.

Problem To Connect Access 2003 To SQL Server 2005 Express

Jan 10, 2006

Hello,

after successfully connect Access to the Server I want to add a table. I got an error message:

With this version of MS Office Access you are not able to make any drafts because this version of SQL server you are connected to does not support this. Check the MS Office update website for the newest downloads.

You habe connected to a version of SQL server which is newer than SQL server 2000.

Versions:

SQL Server runs on a MS Server 2003 SP1

Access 2003 (11.6566.6568 SP2) on an MS XP Pro SP1

all on actual patch level. Any ideas what's wrong?

SQL 2005 Express - Remote Connection - Windows 2003 - MSKB 914277

Dec 18, 2007

Hey all!

I've tried all I know in an effort to get SQL 2005 Express to allow remote connections on my customer's 2K3 server and I'm not having any luck. I've followed MSKB 914277, including adding the exceptions to their Windows firewall...even disabled the firewall altogether (for testing purposes), and I still can't get remote clients to connect. As suggested by various other posts, I used netstat -an to confirm that SQL is listening on port 1433 for the desired IP on the server.....and saw that it is listening. Here's a snippet:

TCP 192.168.0.2:1433 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 192.168.0.2:1433 192.168.0.2:1738 ESTABLISHED
TCP 192.168.0.2:1738 192.168.0.2:1433 ESTABLISHED
TCP 127.0.0.1:1433 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

I can connect to the database locally (i.e. on the 2K3 server itself) using just the IP address .... tried with a DSN, UDL, ODBC, and SSMSE...all of which have no problems (as shown by the two, "ESTABLISHED" entries in the netstat results above which were from running SSMSE locally on the server at the time of the netstat). But if a remote computer on the network tries to connect, they cannot connect. Sorry, I don't have a copy of the error message the clients are getting yet.

I asked The customer's IT to confirm that the clients CAN can "see" the server (i.e. that there wasn't some kind of router or firewall blocking their path) and they sent me a copy of the server's pfirewall.log file. Here is an entry from the file that seems to show that client requests ARE getting to the server:

2007-12-17 19:12:13 OPEN-INBOUND TCP 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.2 1213 1433 - - - - - - - - -

I'm starting to get in over my head here (I'm a programmer, not a DBA or Net Admin), but doesn't the above suggest that an incoming request came in from .4 on port 1213 and attempted to connect to .2 on port 1433, but the connection was denied or dropped by the server? If so, why? Is this related to another MS KB I read about connection pooling? I'm way over my head here and could use some help. Did I miss something subtle during configuration of SQL Express?
Thanks in advance.

Whether SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Can Work With Visual Studio 2003 (Ver 1.1)

Mar 3, 2006

We are new to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. We are going to develope a solution for one of our client and we have to decide on which database to use for the solution. Client wanted to have a low cost solution. Thus we were not in a position to push them for SQL Sever 2000.

In the process, we also thought of having MySQL as one of the option. Another option we have is to use SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

We wanted to know if SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be used with Visual Studion 2003 (Ver 1.1) or it can only be used with Visual Studio 2005 (Ver 2.0)?

Hope to get feedback soon.

Regards

Sanjeev

Hi All:

I'm new to using sql express 2005 as the database, so I apologize if my question is very basic.

I can connect to db through sql mngmt studio, but I don't know how to connect through application code. The authentication mode is windows. I'm having trouble with the provider in the application code.

Can someone please tell me where I can find more detailed information on available providers for sql express?

Thanks for any help, as I'm against a tight deadline.

Is It Possible To Execute The T-Sql Code Of Common Table Expressions In VB 2005 Express?

Jan 2, 2008

Hi all,
I have the following T-SQL code of Common Table Express (CTE) that works in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE):

--CTE.sql--

USE ChemAveRpd

GO

WITH PivotedLabTests AS

(

SELECT LT.AnalyteName, LT.Unit,

Prim = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'Primary' THEN LT.Result END),

Dupl = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'Duplicate' THEN LT.Result END),

QA = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'QA' THEN LT.Result END)

FROM LabTests LT

JOIN Samples S ON LT.SampleID = S.SampleID

GROUP BY LT.AnalyteName, LT.Unit

)

SELECT AnalyteName, Unit, avg1 = (abs(Prim + Dupl)) / 2,

avg2 = (abs(Prim + QA)) / 2,

avg3 = (abs(Dupl + QA)) / 2,

RPD1 = (abs(Prim - Dupl) / abs(Prim + Dupl)) * 2,

RPD2 = (abs(Prim - QA) / abs(Prim + QA)) * 2,

RPD3 = (abs(Dupl - QA) / abs(Dupl + QA)) * 2

FROM PivotedLabTests

GO

===========================================
How can I execute this set of the CTE.sql code in the VB 2005 Express via the Stored Procedure programming?

Please help and respond.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
