Import Excel Files Realtime
Nov 6, 2007
Hi,
Using SSIS, I am successfully importing data from excel files into a table in sql server 2005.
These excel files are ALWAYS open and are being updated from external sources i.e. third party tools.
After doing alot of investigations, I have reached the conclusions as follows:
When the excel files are NOT being updated, then the ssis package works
BUT when the excel files are being updated, then the ssis package does not work. The error is:
[Excel Source [749]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Please note that the excel files MUST be open so that they get updated by the third party tool.
AND, every few minutes i.e. 5 mins, my ssis package should import these excel files.
Question:
How is it possible to load the excel data while it is being updated by external third party.
Thanks

Ther eis an excel file.
This file is open all the time so the excel sheets get populated by an external third party application real time.
So the data inside the spreadsheets are constantly changing. This spreadsheet is only capable of being updated with data when it is open.
And I would like to import this excel data on a certain interval into sql server 2005.
Tried using the import wizard but it seems the import does not work if the source i.e. the excel file is open.
Is there an alternative please?
Thanks

Scenario:
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.
Can anyone please help me get started?
Regards,
Panos

I am having with trying to import XLSX files into SQL 2012 64 Bit.
I have installed the Access driver (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe)
I have configured the script to run the following SP
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OverRide
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1
[Code] ....
So I first create my Temp Table
The run the SP above then I run the insert into the Temp table defined
INSERT INTO tempdb.dbo.TempTRBZ (IsNew,CoID, Zip, City, County,StateCode,Rate,Taxable,TaxShip,TaxLab,CountryID,StateID)
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','EXCEL 12.0;Database=C:TempNotInTrbzJan.xlsx;HDR=YES','SELECT * FROM [Data$]')
[Code] ....
The error message I get back is
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".
What I have set wrong on the import? Using SSIS at this point is not a real option.

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?)

While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice14.0Access Connectivity EngineEnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
• xls
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";"
by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.

I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100DTSMappingFiles
Assuming one of these will control Excel defaults, which one is it? None of the names lend themselves to the Excel as a source. SqlClientToMSSql10?

I have created a stored procedure to handle xml data.
One of the inputs to this procedure is xmldata which is basically the contents of the xml in a file.
Now I would like to create a SSIS package that takes the xml files from the network and uses this SP.
Should I have a file system task inside a for loop container?
How do I get started on this please?
Thanks

Is there a way to copy a table schema into a new table rather than having to generate a create table script?For example, I have table dbo.MyTable and I want to copy the schema to newuser.MyTable without a script? I know you can restore into a new database from an existing database so maybe you can do this?thanks-c

Is SSIS a tool for extracting realtime data from staging to data warehouse? Realtime in my case can be loading every 15 minutes but no more than 30 minutes. I've a data warehouse which data refresh once a day and it worked fine. The data that I extract into the warehouse is from a Staging database which is realtime replication of multiple production databases. Once a day, I've to have replication pauses on staging for a couple hours to refresh the data warehouse. That's the only way so SSIS can pull the data correctly; if I've replication on while SSIS pull data, it will always copy less rows than it supposed to.
I cannot afford to have replication pauses every 15 minutes just so I can refresh data warehouse. Does anyone every have this problem? or any best practice how to do this?
Thanks,

I have 8GB of text files which are basically log files from the past few years.
There is 24 text files per directory which are labeled for every day (so they are not all in 1 folder).
It would make reading them much easier if I could import them to SQL but I only seem to be able to import 1 at a time? (with the wizards :eek: )
Surely there is a way to mass import without all the costly applications that google searches give me?
cheers :P

I have a script which imports the contents of a csv file from our CRM system and updates a table in my database. This works OK but the problems I have are that a) sometimes there is more than one file in the folder, and b) that I wish to move any csv files that have been imported into an archive folder. The csv files arrive with a time/datestamp and I currently rename them manually to FREXPORT before importing (the name is in the format FREXPORT_20141101_1217.csv).How do I:
1) get it to process the file without me having to manually rename the file(s) each time,
2) if there is more than 1 file in the folder process all the files and 3)move the correctly processed files to an archive folder which is: importarchive?
Ultimately, I would like the script to be run as a scheduled job, so it also has to deal with the fact that sometimes there will be no files to import too.
[code]create table #import
(worknumber nvarchar(12), date_done smalldatetime)
BULK
Insert #import
from 'fork04-hq-dc01dataimportFREXPORT.csv'
[code]....

Hello
i'm trying to find out if SSIS is a right toolbox for importing of many SPSS-files into the large market research data warehouse.
A simplified version of SPSS-datasheet looks like this:
- many columns (up to 3000). some of them are interview attributes (InterviewID, Date, etc.) and variables, representing survey questions
- relative few rows with "cases" or "interviews"
- in cells there are answers to the questions (in columns) by respondent (in rows)
As first step i would like to unpivot the dataset in the following way:
- Pass-Through: all interview attributes, that shouldn't be unpivoted
- Input Columns: rest 2990 columns
- Destination Column: Question
- Pivot Key Value Column Name: Answer
It works allright, except that i has to manually define destination column for all 2990 input columns, which takes a lot of time (multiplied by the number of SPSS-files i want to import). Is there a way to automate this (default value for destination column and/or scripting?)
Many thanks for your help!
