Import Excel Into SQL 2005 Working In Development But Not In Production
Jul 26, 2007
I have a simple code that uses a the file upload control to read an excel sheet and upload the data into a SQL 2005db.
I'm using Visual Web Developer and Sql's express edition to test it. It works fine when I test. However, when I push it up to the production server and try it via the any other pc it does not. The page loads fine. However, when it starts to upload it errors out.
Any reason why? I've never seen this happen.
Here's the code. Thanks in advance. Protected Sub BtnUpload2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnUpload2.Click
UploadTextDocument()
End Sub
Private Sub UploadTextDocument()
Dim location As String = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName.ToString
' Connection String to Excel Workbook
Try
Dim excelConnectionString As String = String.Format("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=Excel 8.0", location)
' Create Connection to Excel Workbook
Using connection As Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection = New Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString)
Dim command As Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand = New Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select BuilderID,SeriesID,OptionLevel,CommunityID,PhaseID,PlanID,ElevationID,OptionID,CurrentSalesPrice,LocalComments,Active,DateAdded,DateAvailable,DateInactive,SalesPriceEffective,SalesPriceExpires,PreviousSalesPrice,CutOffNotBefore,CutOffNotAfter FROM [Data$]", connection)
connection.Open()
' Create DbDataReader to Data Worksheet
Using dr As Data.Common.DbDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
' SQL Server Connection String
Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("HbAdminMaintenance").ConnectionString
' Bulk Copy to SQL Server
Using bulkCopy As SqlBulkCopy = New SqlBulkCopy(connectionString)
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "ExcelData"
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr)
End Using
End Using
connection.Close()
End Using
LBError.Text = "The spreadsheet was successfully uploaded."
Catch
LBError.Text = "There was an error. Check the spreadsheet for correct format."
End Try
End Sub

Production and development servers are on different domains and they do not trust each other. How do I import data from the table t1 from a database db1 in production and load it into table t1 inside database db1 in development?

we have a situation where modifications to the stored procs and views keep happening in the development databse environ while there is a live production database also up and running.
periodically we need to ensure that the development and the production are in synch where all changes made to dev are transferred to prod. however the entire prod database obviously cannot be overwritten as it contains production data. therefore what we need to do is to transfer all SPs and Views from the development to prodn. ( we do not prefer incremental transfers as there are many SPs and views and we can never really be sure that all changes have been transferred )
the obvious way is to script out all SPs and views in dev and run the scripts in prodn. but what we encountered was the enterprise manager does not script out the objects in heirarchical sequence - ie parent objects first and then the objects that refer the parent objects. this leads to errors when running the scripts as the objects required for the creation of a SP, say another SP run from within that SP , may not have been generated by then as the "contained" SP is lower in the alphabetical order in which SQL server scripted out the objects.
finally we had to look at each and every error and manually set the process right.
moreover in the way we did things the "sysdepends" table got all screwed up and therefore we can no longer depend on enterprise manager to show dependencies within the database.
is there any elegant way of going about this ? we also tried transfer manager in DTS but it also gave the same error. moreover can the sysdepends table be rebuilt from scratch ?

I have a student who has a 100GB database that we need to have a R/W copy of in a Development environment.
It would be okay for the development system to have yesterday's data.
What would be the easiest solution for replicating the data.
Replication?
Log Shipping?
Backup/Restore?
Other Ideas?
Thanks in adavnce for the help.
Cheers,

Hello everyone,
I have a question about how to efficiently develop on a development version of a database and get those changes over to the production database without loosing live data, etc.?
Here is how we are trying it:
1 Export production database to temp database(exact copy)
2 Delete production database
3 Export development database (definition only, no data) to new database with production database's name
4 Export production (temp) database (data only) over to new production shell
We are having truncate errors due to FK constraints.
Is there a better way?
Thanks for all help

I have two servers: one production and one development. There is a third party query that runs on both servers. Yes, the query is poorly tuned - I cannot change it. In production, it runs in 54 minutes. In development, I have tried to let it run for days and it never completes.
Here's what I have tried so far:
Compared the settings of production vs. development. The settings are very similar - the development box is larger, 4 times more memory.
Max degree of parallelism is the same on both boxes.
No compression on both boxes.
The production server is fairly busy, the development server is empty - this is the only process running on it.
Plenty of free disk space.
Updated all statistics on all databases touched by the query on dev.
Indexing is the same on both boxes.
The development box is running MSSQL2012.
The production box is running MSSQL2008R2.
What I've noticed:
The query consumes a massive amount of CPU time.
HUGE number of reads (16 million reads for 10 writes according to sp_WhoIsActive)
Largest wait types are CXPACKET, SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD and TRACEWRITE respectively.
wait_typesum_wait_time_mspct_wait_timesum_waiting_tasksavg_wait_time_ms

Hi everyone,
I really need your help!! How you manage development server and production server?
My current situation:
Our programmers develop new Stored Procedures on development server. When all testing is completed, we then deploy them to production server.
Challenges:
Programmer (Eric) modified a Stored Procedure (SP_1) on development server. He did not deploy it on production server because SP_1 is not completed yet.
Programmer (John) got request and needed to modify SP_1 on development server
So now there is a problem in SP_1. if John deploy SP_1 on production server, it will overwrite the current version and cause errors.
Anyone can solve this problem? Will it be better if we have another testing server?
many thanks

Hi all, I've been assigned a task of refreshing data from theproduction env to development env.what i got is a backup file of a db in the prod env, i now need tomake that into the development env.I can restore it to the dev env no problem, but the warnings i got arethat the tables owner in prod and dev env need to be different, thatis, owner is A in prod env and owner is B in dev env.So I need to:1) restore the db in dev env2) change table owner from A to B3) change related triggers4) change related viewsCan anyone suggest me an approach that is most efficient?Thanks a lot.

Hello All,I have been searching for a published document for Best Practicesconcerning access levels based on roles. Should developers have morethan (if at all) select level access to production data? If Iunderstand (from multiple postings) that it is best to have:1. Development (developers have extensive access levels)2. Test (developers have restriced access levels)and3. Production (developers have none or select level access)Our environment and budget only allows for items 1 and 3.If any body could point me to a document from a 'reputable' source, Iwould greatly appreciate it.TIABill

We have a system here where we develop SSIS packages on a development server. I am trying to figure out the cleanest way to promote these changes to a production server where stored procedures/tables that are used in the package are not deployed yet.
When I switch the connection in the package to the production server there are alot of objects in the package that are "invalidated" because they are trying to verify existence of tables/columns. One example is outputing the results of a query to a text file. The text file destination gets a red X on it because it cant grab the columns from the source query (because that stored procedure doesnt exist yet)
Is there a best practices or something on how to deploy packages to a production system? I have tried turning off "ValidateExternalMetaData" with no success.
Thanks!

1.) Can an aspnetdb.mdf database be configured and setup on one server and then be moved to a production server or is there something machine specific that keeps this from being possible? 2.) Is putting this file in the app_data folder something that is used only for SQL 2005 or SQL express? I had to set up a connection string in my SQL 2000 installation to get the connection to work.
Thanks for any input!

This is driving me nuts: On my development machine the code runs fine
but generates an error on the production server. Both are running SQL
Server 2000 and ASP.NET 1.1
The datatype of the field in question is datetime.
The webform has a calendar for a user to select and automatically
insert the date into the textbox. The update command in the webform is:
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add("@citation_date", CDate(txtDate.Text))
This works without a hitch on my development system, but on the production server it generates the following error:
Cast from string "19-12-1997" to type 'Date' is not valid.
WHY?

Hi,
We're using SQL Server 2000 as back end in our web project. The problem is we've 3 different copies of same database - one each for Development, Test and Production sitting in 2 different machines.
My question is - is there any tool for comparing the objects (tables, stored procedures, etc) ?
Thanks,

I have been looking for some documentation that would support or rejectmy opinion on Production -vs- Development naming conventions.

Hello,
I am trying to refresh a test database with data from a production database. Both database structures are identical, e.g. constraints, stored procs, PK, etc. I am trying to create a package in SSIS that accomplishes this task and I am having extensive problems. The import export wizard is out of the question because the constaints are not carried over, plus when I try to refresh the data using the import export wizard, it fails on 1 specific table because of a column in that table named "Error code". I think "Error code" is a micrsoft keyword, so it fails on this column. Does anyone know a workaround that I can do to accomplish this simple task, that could be completed in minutes using DTS. I understand that SSIS is not as straight forward as DTS, but this task is something that DBA's do on a regular basis and therefore should not be this difficult.
Any help would be appreciated,
David

I have this simple full text search query that works perfectly on my own computer using sql server 2005 express, however, on the production server(shared hosting)when I added the first 50+ rows, the full text search works perfect, but as the number of rows increases, the full text search can only see the first50+ rows, but not the new ones. Is there any quick solution for this or it's just a common mistake for developers for not properly indexed columns?Is there a way to re-indexed all rows without loosing data on the live server? search query: SELECT TOP 50 *FROM li_BookmarksWHERE FREETEXT(Keywords,@Keywords)

We are setting up a new Reporting Services 2005 enterprise reporting tier that will support multiple developers, applications, and end users. We will have mirrored environments including development, test, and production each with their own database cluster, and reporting server.
We have multiple report developers who share a single Visual Studio solution which is saved in SourceSafe and is setup to have separate report projects for each business unit in the orgainzation. Each report project is mapped to a specific deployment folder matching the business unit. Using the Visual Studio Configuration Manager, we can simply flip to the envirnoment we want to deploy to and the reports are published to the correct environment and folder structure.
My problem lies with the common data sources. We are using a single master Common Data Sources folder to hold all of the data sources. The trick is that each and every reporting folder seems to have to have it's own copy of the data source in visual studio. There does not seem to be an easy way to change the data sources for the reports when you publish to various environment, i.e. development, test, production etc.
Ideally, we would have a single project for the common data sources that all reporting projects and associated folders would map to, and we would have a way to associate the appropriate data source for each environment when we deploy.
I'm looling for best practices on how to setup data sources for development and deployment in an enterprise environment that uses Visual Studio to develop and publish reports. We have 3 environments, and 6 data sources per environment and about 20 reporting folder / project in Visual Studio. That's 360 changes that have to be manged when deploying reports. Is there a best practices way to do this?
There has got to be a better way? Can anyone give me some insite into how to set this up?
Thanks!

I need to create an application to import several text, excel and mdb files into SQL2005. I created a c# application to dynamically create a package & import text files but not able to do the same with excel and mdb files.

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

Hi
I have to import data from a number of excel files to corresponding tables in SQL 2005. The excel files are created using excel 4.0. I have created an excel connection manager and provided it with the path of the excel sheet.Next i have added an excel source from the toolbox to the dataflow. I have set the connection manger, data access mode, and the name of the excel sheet (the wizard detects the sheet correctly) in the dialog window i get when i double click the excel source. Every thing goes fine till here. Now when i select the 'columns' in this dialog window or the preview button, i get this error
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio------------------------------Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: Opening a rowset for "test4$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)------------------------------
Any ideas about why is this happening???

I have around 600 worksheets that i need to import into sql server that are in a somewhat non-table like format. Data defractor seems to be able to do what i need, but i also need to check into doing it manually. I've seen the code to import cells and ranges into sql server, but can't seem to remember what it is anymore. I've also searched through the forums and can't seem to find any examples either. Could anyone post an example or a link with some examples or explaination code. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have a site which used a SQL Express database. On my development machine, it works perfectly. As soon as I move it to the production machine, it doesn't work at all. I am pretty confused by what is going on and I really don't want to install Visual Studio on my production machine just to debug it. I am hoping someone might have an idea what could be happening.
Oh, and I have tried setting Everyone to Full Control on the App_Data directory just to test. Still breaks. Below is my web.config connection string:
<connectionStrings> <add name="database_sqlexpress" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf; integrated security=true; user instance=true"/></connectionStrings>
