I have a excel file which is originally a sqlserver table that was
exported as a excel file. I have added more data to this excel file
and now want to import it again to its original table,i.e, it will
overwrite current data in the table but with no change in the schema.
How should I handle the issue of PKs in the current table that will be
over-written. I know sqlserver dose not adjust PKs when data is
over-written, like my case.
I am writing a custom application which will allow users to upload data in a Excel to SQLServer.
The problem I have is that Excel can come with a number of worksheets. I would ideally like to read from the default work sheet - is there a way I can specify that my code should only pick up the default worksheet?
I am trying to import an xlsx spreadsheet into a sql 2008 r2 database using the SSMS Import Wizard. When pointed to the spreadsheet ("choose a data source") the Import Wizard returns this error:
"The operation could not be completed" The Microsoft ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine (System.Data)
How can I address that issue? (e.g. Where is this provider and how do I install it?)
Iam new to the world of ASP .Net. Right now iam building an application that will IMPORT about 5,000 records from an Excel spreadsheet to a table in MS SQL Server. Right now the code works correctly, but i feel it is not efficient and takes a little bit of more time in doing the import. Could you guys throw some light on how i can make the code run more faster ? Someone suggested me that i can use DataAdapter and update the table in the database thru an update method available with it. I dont know how to do it? Could anyone share with me a snippet of code that does this ?
Here is my code:
Private Sub ProcessRecords() Dim ds2 As New DataSet ' readExcelSheet is a user-defined function that reads a spreadsheet and returns a DataSet object ds2 = readExcelSheet("C:InetpubwwwrootProject1Book2.xls", "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]") Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = Connection() ' user-defined function that returns a SQLConnection object myConnection.Open() Dim strSQL As String = "insert_member" ' stored procedure that inserts records Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(strSQL, myConnection) myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure myCommand.Parameters.Add("@salutation", SqlDbType.NVarChar) myCommand.Parameters.Add("@firstname", SqlDbType.NVarChar) myCommand.Parameters.Add("@lastname", SqlDbType.NVarChar) myCommand.Parameters.Add("@company", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
Dim i, j As Integer Response.Write(Date.Now() & "<br>") For i = 0 To ds2.Tables("Members").Rows.Count() - 1 myCommand.Parameters("@salutation").Value = ds2.Tables("Members").Rows(i).Item("sal") myCommand.Parameters("@firstname").Value = ds2.Tables("Members").Rows(i).Item("firstname") myCommand.Parameters("@lastname").Value = ds2.Tables("Members").Rows(i).Item("lastname") myCommand.Parameters("@company").Value = ds2.Tables("Members").Rows(i).Item("company") j = myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() If (j > 0) Then Response.Write("Record Inserted - " & i + 1 & "<br>") End If Next Response.Write(Date.Now() & "<br>") myConnection.Close() End Sub
Hi all, I am trying to import excel file to SQL server using web application. I have been browsing all day long trying to get some helps but I found none that really solves my problem. :( I am aware that I can use DTS in SQL server, however I want to build a web application for it. I can upload the file on the server, my problem is I want to load the data in excel file dynamically; I will need to create a table in the server dynamically everytime I import an excel file. Please help!!!Thanks Irma
ARRGGH, I'm going to kill Excel or SQL Server!! I've spent an hour on this and I can't get it working. I'm importing some address data, and several of the zip codes are importing as NULL, even though in the Excel sheet, they look fine! Excel is complaining, something about the zip codes are numbers entered as text..whatever.. so I edited my SQL import and made it so the ZIP field gets created as varchar 50 instead of float. It still won't import right.
I need to import some excel files in the Database via DTS. The problem is, that I don't know the names of the Excel Sheets (there are multiple sheets in the excel file). Is it possible to get the names of those sheets? (via activeX or SQL Query or anything, but from a DTS package)
Various excel files with the same structure will reside in a folder. These excel files should be exported daily in a Sql server table. If the data within the excel file according to an id is new then all data should be appended to the table, otherwise if the id exists in the sql server table then it must update the remaining corresponding fields.
I know how to export an excel file to a sql server table, i need some help in comparing the excel file data with the sql table so to make the appropriate updates.
Hi, please any one is expert in Data Base help me, i would like to import two Data columns from Excel file 2003 instead of two columns in a table in Sql Server Express 2005 , How Can i do that? and what is the way if I have Sql Developer 2005, thank you .
I am trying to import an Excel file - when I pick the file I get the message "Could not open file for reading. Close any other application that may be locking the file." I have verified that the file is not open - I have even rebooted the machine - still the same message - what am I doing different? Please advise. Thanks
My database has mirgrated from Access to a SQL Server. As of now, we use SharePoint for our data entry form and it works great exporting an Excel workbook to my desktop and then import to the SQL Server and drop it in the tables that apply. The management team wants to get rid of SP and have all 110 project owners use a template Excel workbook I created and then anytime they have new projects or changes to existing they use this template and email it to me. The problem is the template has partial text, combox boxes, checkboxes and drop-down boxes. In Access I can spend a couple weeks creating VBA code to import this but not sure how this is done in SQL Server. The 2nd issue is why in the heck would they even want to go this route. This seems to be a coding nightmare, then I have to store all the Excel workbooks somewhere for history sake. It just seems to me that keeping the SP site is much smarter for them and for me. My question is not related to SP because I am going to push to keep that up anyway. I just want to know is it possible for SQL Server to import a workbook that has form functions on it easily or is it a stored procedure coding nightmare?
Hi everyone got a problem here! I have an existing data in excel and it is more than 10,000 cells that I need to import to my new SQL Database. How can I transfer those records easily without using INSERT commands in SQL? Because I'm afraid it's too hard to do.
I need to import data from more than 10 excels having the same format in to a single sql server table.
I tried to use
INSERT INTO MyTempTable SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 11.0;Database=C:Book1.xls', [Sheet1$])
but got the below error Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server.
If DTS package is used then I am not sure how I can place 10 excels at a time so that they can be picked one by one and data is imported in to table.
I asked a similar question like this yesterday but i didnt work the way I wanted it to work. So I will ask in a diffrent way:
I have an Excel list which i want to import into a table in my SQL Server 2005. The ServerTable has one more column (for the the primary key which is created automatically) than the ExcelList. How can i import the ExcelList in a way so that I the first column of my ServerTable is not filled by a column of my ExcelList??
That is how far I came:
select * into SQLServerTable FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=D: esting.xls;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')
Firstly, i'm new to integration services and have only done a little with DTS jobs.
I'm trying to create an integration services project which will import data from an two worksheets in an Excel spreadsheet to two different tables in a database. I'm looking at only one table at present to make things a little more understandable.
One stipulation i have is that i need to be able to specify a variable value and insert that as an additional column in the database. I have and Excel source and a SQL destination both of which have been set up with there specific connection managers. I also have a variable which i add in using the derived column task.
When i try to debug this i am getting a few problems. I think these may be to do with the fact that although the worksheet in Excel has 20 rows (1st column shows these numbers) i only want those rows with data in them. If i preview the excel table it shows all the rows including those with null columns. Is there some sort of way that i can only get the rows that have data in the columns after the row number. I.e. can i select rows that do not have a second column value = to NULL.
I hope this makes sense and that someone can help me out with this problem.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Grant
P.S.
Apologies. I have this resolved now. I didn't see the option to use a SQL command as apposed to a table or view when setting up the Excel source.
I am still however getting the following errors which i'd appreciate some help on:

Hi, 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.
l've some excel files controlled by Vendor which changing frequently. The only thing does not change is the header name of each column.
So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
I would like to import an Excel file into my SQL Server 2005 Express db. I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express to manage my db. I appreciate your suggestions,
I try to import data from excel file, my excel file have column called Name, the value of this column is text: ex: Binh Chanh, 1,2,3,4,5.....When i import into sqlserver 2005, these rows which have value 1,2,3,4,5 (number) , now have Null value in SQL server 2005.
i am handling a project where user can choose the excel file and the field in the excel file to export into sql server 2005. which mean there will be dropdownlist where the user can choose the field and so on. anyone know how to do this?
I have an .xlsx file where I need to import the data into a table. If there is not a way to do this, is there a way to import either a tab del file or different type of .csv file into the database?
Do not want to use the SSIS or import feature from SQL2008 as I tried to save the steps and running it wont work either.
I was using linked servers to import Excel spreadsheets into SQL Server Express 2005. This worked fine with Windows XP and Office 2003.
I have just migrated all my stuff to Vista and Office 2007. Linked servers just can't be created:

The parameter values I used are:

I gave full access rights to the Data source file and folder to NETWORK SERVICE and SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$MOZART$SQLEXPRESS where mozart is my PC name.
If I change Data source or Provider string to some garbage string, the exact same error message appears. So it appears the error might be in the Provider?

Hi, I'm a Student, and since a few months ago I'm learning JAVA. I'm creating an application to call and compare times. For this I create in Excel a time table which is quite big and it would be a lot of typing work to input one by one the data in each cell in SQL Server, considering that I have to create 8 more tables. I was able to retreive the data from excel usin the JXL API of JAVA but it doesn't give all the funtions to perform math operations as JDBC. That's why I need to move the tables from Excel to SQL. I found this site http://davidhayden.com/blog/dave/archive/2006/05/31/2976.aspx which gives a code to do so, but I guess that some heathers are missing or maybe I don't know which compiler to use to run that code, I would like you help to identify which compiler use to run that code or if there is some vital piece of code missing.// Connection String to Excel Workbook string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft .Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;""";
// Create Connection to Excel Workbook using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString)) { OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand ("Select ID,Data FROM [Data$]", connection);
connection.Open();
// Create DbDataReader to Data Worksheet using (DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader()) { // SQL Server Connection String string sqlConnectionString = "Data Source=.; Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True";
// Bulk Copy to SQL Server using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString)) { bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "ExcelData"; bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr); } } } On the other hand in this forum I that someelse use that link but implements a totally different code which I'm not able to compile also http://forums.asp.net/p/1110412/2057095.aspx#2057095. It seems this code works as I was able to read, but I do not know which language is used. Dim excelConnectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft .Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;"""
' Using
Dim connection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString)

I have a excel sheet with some data and blank columns. I have a ssis package using to import data from excel to sql table. For blank excel columns it is importing as null instead i want to show them as '0'. If data comes in it should update the data.
