Using an access project front-end to an MSDE database, I'm trying to
import a spreadsheet using File->Get External Data->Import.
After I select the spreadsheet name, I tell it I want to import into an
existing table and select the table name from the list. The name in
the list is dbo.Cost_Data. When I tell it to finish, it says the table
does not exist.
If I do the same steps as the database owner, the table name does not
contain the "dbo." on the front of it and it is successful.
I am attempting to run an SSIS package that, among other things, imports a spreadsheet from excel into a database table. The package runs without any issues within Visual Studio. I have tried executing the package through both, the MSDB run package and through dtexec (trying to kick of the package through a stored procedure) and I get 2 different behaviors.
Using dtexec (the method I really need to use): The package will run successfully...up to the point when the spreadsheet is imported at which time it fails with Description: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. Here is the code:
Running it through the MSDB Run Package UI...It will also make it up to the point where the Excel spreadsheet is imported but errors with: The Product level is insufficient for the component "Lookup Station and Account Type: (1894) ...and 1 line with that same error for every single task in that dataflow. Here is the code it runs.
/DTS "MSDBPopulateTRTLStationandtRTLUnitMapping" /SERVER "SERVERNAME" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING V
The machine is running 32 bit OS Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Db SQL Server 2005 32 bit. I found one forum posting that suggested turning the Delay Validation property to True...but that did not fix the issue. I did create the package with my username with a ProtectionLevel of EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey. I don't think it is related to the account however because all of the tasks (serveral work tables are created) up to the Excel import will execute.
I really need to get this working as soon as possible so am open to any solutions someone can present.
I am able to import an excel spreadsheet into a table in sql server 2005 using SqlBulkCopy. The only thing that bothers me here is how to check duplicate entries and throw an error to the user regarding the duplicate entries. In the table in sql, there is no primary keys. There are five columns and the way I will have to find the duplicates is to match all those 5 columns. Since the excel spreadsheet can have 40 to 500 entries, how can I check those dupes.
I am looking for a way to import data from a CSV or Excel spread sheet and add the data directly into an Extended field instead of a regular field in the table. for example: let's say I have a comma delimited field with the following info:
NDC_M_FORMULARY,CUSTOM_EXTSIG,Custom EXT SIG NDC_M_FORMULARY,DRUG_CODE,Alternate key, user defined NDC_M_FORMULARY,CHARGE_CODE,From the Charge code table
The first column is the table name Second Column is the Column name in the table The third column contains the description that I would like to store in the Value in the Extended Property Name "MS_Description"
BTW,I did find the following T-SQL which returns the Extended description for a specific Extended Property
Here it is:
SELECT [Table Name] = i_s.TABLE_NAME, [Column Name] = i_s.COLUMN_NAME, [Description] = s.value FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS i_s LEFT OUTER JOIN
I have this situation that I need to read a spreadsheet with user names into a sql table where user name is just one of the columns. I tried using oledb connection to read the spreadsheet and sqlbulkcopy to import into sql table. There was no error, but the data wasn't imported into sql. Does anyone have any suggestion what I did wrong or what is the right way of doing this? Thanks a lot. Mia
I am using the import wizard in SQL Server 2008 R to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into a table I have created.
The spreadsheet contains 3 columns that SQL recognises as DOUBLE and they contain a 1 or 0. What data type do the corresponding fields in SQL table need to be? I have tried BIT, INT and FLOAT but keep getting an error (can't view details of the error because I get chucked out every time the error pops up). I know the problem is with the DOUBLE data because when I 'ignore' those columns the import works fine.
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:

I get the following error when I use SQL Server 2005 Import/Export wizard to extract more than 255 columns from an excel file;

I am new to SSIS. I am interested in using SSIS to import an excel spreadsheet into a SQL server database. My biggest concern is how to handle/manage errors that might occur when the import process occurs. Can anyone give me any guidance on this? I could write some C# code to do the import and to create a custom .txt file listing errors that occur on import. Using C# code to do the import seems like I would just be reinvinting the wheel so to speak.
I have an Excel workbook that needs to be imported. It has three sheets, but it's really the first that is giving me fits. Each of the three worksheets have header info and instructions on the first 8 rows. Worksheet 1 then has, on row 9, the column names for the group informtion. Row 10 has the group information. Row 11 has detail column headers. Row 12 and later have detail information. Worksheets 2 and three do not have detail information, just row 9 with the column names for the group informtion and Row 10 with group information.
Here is how I am thinking of handling this. Run a script, outside of SSIS to save each sheet as a CSV file to a folder. I believe that this must be done because some of the first 8 rows are blank and according to the docs, SSIS cannot have blank rows in imported Excel sheets. Loop over the files in the folder. For each file, exclude the first 8 rows. if the file name is the first worksheet then get the next two rows and process group info get the rest of the worksheet and process detail information if the file name is not the first worksheet then get the next two rows and process group info
My questions are: Does this seem feasible? Is there an easier way to do this? Any hints or tricks that might be helpful? Any pitfalls that I should watch out for?
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;"""

I'm trying to use Excel in SSIS to import the data from spreadsheet to a staging table. The package runs well from the web server using SSMS. But when I deploy and try to execute the package, I'm getting the below error. I've a question, whether I've to install the AccessDatabaseEngine driver in SQL database server or the web server where I'm executing the SSIS?
Error: The requested OLE DB provider Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 is not registered. If the 64-bit driver is not installed, run the package in 32-bit mode.
I'm exporting via dts to an excel spreadsheet. However my database has more than 65000 records. DTS croacks and shoots out that there are too many records in the spreadsheet.
What do I do? Any way to go around that? These are my daily hit logs that are recorded and they tend to get big.
I am trying to simplify a query given to me by one of my collegues written using the query designer of Access. Looking at the query there seem to be some syntax differences, so to see if this was the case I thought I would import the database to my SQL Server Developer edition.
I tried to start the wizard from within SQL Server Management Studio Express as shown in one of the articles on MSDN which did not work, but the manual method also suggested did work.
Trouble is that it gets most of the way through the import until it spews forth the following error messages:
- Prepare for Execute (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: {332B4EB1-AF51-4FFF-A3C9-3AEE594FCB11}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not start session. Too many sessions already active.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020801c: Data Flow Task: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Source 33 - ATable" (2065) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard).
There does not seem to be any method of specifying a number of sessions, so I don't see how to get round the problem.
Does anyone know how I can get the import to work?
when trying to Ãmport files to our database server from a client, I keep getting an error:
- Validating (Error) Messages Error 0xc00470fe: Data Flow Task: The product level is insufficient for component "Source_txt" (1). (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc00470fe: Data Flow Task: The product level is insufficient for component "Data Conversion 1" (175). (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
... doing the same import when logged on the server, hasn't been giving me any errors, how come. I can from my client without trouble import tables from other DB servers but when ever it is files it won't do it.
I tried as mentioned in other threads rerun setup to re-install SSIS, but as it was already installed it wouldn't re-install. My next move would be to make a clean install, but not sure it would help, as I think this is a buck.
I need to take my 'table stats'every week and put them into an excel spreadsheet so that I can track the changes of my table sizes over time (basically I am watching to see how many rows are in each table). What I was planning on doing was to create a view of my table stats that I could then use DTS to transfer on a weekly basis into my excel spreadsheet. I have only used DTS a couple of times, and I have not ever tried it with excel. Now the problem: Everytime my DTS job runs it appends the data to the end of the origional columns that were created. Since my database has over 5000 tables these columns grow quite quickly. What I would like to do is set it up so that everytime the job runs it puts the new data into new columns in the same worksheet of my excel file. Is this possible? Any suggestions?
I'm getting an issue on a MS SQL DTS package that is doing a simple export from a MS SQL table to and Excel spreadsheet. I have three of these running but one is failing. I’m using DTSRun to run all three of these DTS packages. The only recent change was to the DTS package to fix the first step to delete the data in the spreadsheet tab named “Results”. The process works correctly in development (on different servers). The same active directory ID is being used on all three DTS packages and all three do the same i.e. export data to an excel spreadsheet in the same file location but with different names. I’ve Google’d this but only came across access issues which does not make since since it is writing the other two spreadsheets just fine. Curious.
Error I See:
Running DTS package with passed variables ... DTSRun: Loading...
Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong or need to do to resolve my issue. I having problems with one of the columns in an excel spreadsheet that I am trying to upload into the system. One of the columns contain values of both text and numbers such as 'ABC123', 'ABC124', '123456' etc. When I try uploading the sheet into SQL Server 2000 using DTS, the system removes all characters from the one column that I am having problems with. So entry 'ABC123' for example would be truncated to '123'. I tried formatting the column that I am having trouble with in excel to 'General' format as well as tried to transform the column to type varchar in SQL Server while using the DTS wizard but still had no luck. The problem is that SQL server thinks that the column is a float type column from the source and therefore truncates any characters.
Being new to SSIS I wish to loop through a series of excel spreadsheets and within each workbook loop through each sheet. I am aware of the For Each container but how can the each sheet in the workbook be referenced?
I have some XML that I'm passing through a variable into the XML task in SSIS. I also have an xsd file that I'm using and I want to validate (I think) that XML and have the XML task output an excel document. I've got the xsd file all set up in the "second operand" part of the XML task and the XML I'm passing in as a variable and that's in the "input" part of the XML task. My question is are there any tricks to make an excel document with these two things? Is there something I need to do in the xsd file to tell it that I want excel? Below is my XML and xsd:
Two problems / questions I could do with some help on please......
1). How do you clear a spreadsheet before loading it ? I am sending a spreadsheet by Email on a regual basis. Each time I run my SSIS package the data is appended to that of the previous run. I need just the contents of this data load to populate the spreadsheet each time. I have tried various methods / techniques for achieveing this so I just need to know the accepted method. Sorry if this is very basic ( as it should be ?!) but I seem to be missing the point somewhere.
2). I have tried to resolve issue 1 above by having an empty 'template' spreadsheet and copying that one over the top of the previously populated one. I get an error saying that the source spreadsheet ..'is in use by another processes.' Amusingly, as a test, I can delete it but I cannot copy it !
Are there any decent workthroughs on working with destination excel speadhseets ? Im struggling.
I BCP out a table and then import back. While BCP IN, i get the following error: #@ Row 303, Column 5: Invalid character value for cast specification @# #@ Row 296, Column 4: String data, right truncation @#
Hi, trying to import data from a MySQL DB to MSSQL 2005. Having some errors with collating it looks like. Maybe the syntax is incorrect...not sure. Never imported this way.
here is the import to create a table.
SET AUTOCOMMIT=0; START TRANSACTION;
CREATE TABLE "tbl3215" ( "id" int(11) NOT NULL, "IttNumber" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "IttTitle" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "IttDescription" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "IttJustification" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "TechSolution" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "DateReceived" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "DateRequired" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "Customer" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "OrgID" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "Funded" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "HBApID" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "Disapproved" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "DisReason" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "Completed" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "CompletionDate" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, "Priority" text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY ("id") ) AUTO_INCREMENT=4735 ;
here is the error returned.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near '='. Msg 448, Level 16, State 2, Line 6 Invalid collation 'latin1_general_ci'. Msg 448, Level 16, State 2, Line 7 Invalid collation 'latin1_general_ci'. Msg 448, Level 16, State 2, Line 8 Invalid collation 'latin1_general_ci'. Msg 448, Level 16, State 2, Line 9 Invalid collation 'latin1_general_ci'. etc...
Now, i am not sure how to make this work, i am thinking sql2005 may not recognize latin1_general_ci? Is there a quide to which databases use which character sets and their incompatibilities?
I have created a DTS to import some data into a table. It is importing a tab delimited text file and I am getting an error when importing into a decimal field.
I have imported the data into a table with all the fields as varchar. The reason that I am getting this error is that the column that is giving me the errors is trying to populate the cells with a " " when there is no information!
Is there anything that I can do in order to treat that as a null?
I'm using the import wizard to create a new table from. The table gets created but no data gets copied. In preview all is OK. I have MS Windows Samall Bussines Server 2003R2 Premium Edition with SQL 2005 WorkGroup Edition. In help/manual for this version is SSIS including but SSIS as service dosn't run.

I received this type of error once before and got around it by removing all constraints from the table. I was able to import the table when the data types were nvarchar. I changed the data types to varchar and this occurred. How do I know what the message is specifically referring to or can I see more details of the import command. This is my first posting.
I've got an Excel Spreadsheet with 5 columns of data which I need to get into an SQL Table. There's 13,000 rows in this Spreadsheet so manually doing it is out of the question.
I am new to SQL and can do queries OK on SQLTalk. I need to know if there is a script to retrieve data and then export to an Excel spreadsheet for internal company use. Is there such a beast and is this the right place to look???
Ok, so my boss handed me a spreadsheet that contains about 1,000 records as retrieved by a SQL query.
My boss now wants me to run a query on ONLY the records given to me in the spreadsheet. He wants me to grab two more fields of data for each of the records in the sheet.
Naturally, my first question to my boss is, "Why don't you just give me the SQL code that was used for that query, and I'll just add a string or two to grab those additional fields? ...And then we'll run the new SQL?"
My boss says, "Isn't there a way to run a query on just the records I've given you? Someone in another department has been able to do that before."
I've never heard of this. Can anyone provide insight into how I might accomplish what my boss wants before I tell him he's full of crap?
