Hi,
I need to import around 200 excel file data into one table. Is there a way of doing this using SSIS or DTS? I know how to import single excel file into table but i need to automate this process for many files. All help appreciated
Thanks,

I have over 600+ Excel .xlsx file that I have been trying to import to Sql database table. I've been trying to complete this task with SSIS but no luck yet. I have seen several videos and read articles but when I run the package the source is validated but I always get an error in the destination. I am using Excel 2010 and SQL Server 2012.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.
I have an excel file that has multiple sheets and I need to import data from each separate sheet to a separate table using SSIS.Â
E.g. Sheet A data should go to Table A and Sheet B data should go to Table B and so on. Is it possible to do this with out using script task.
I have data in excel files I want to import it to existing SQL Server database. I can use SQL Server built in import tool but before Importing, the data needs to be validated. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks
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
It's very simple import, without any data modifications; from severalexcel files to one table.I tried the wisard and it gives me selection for only one file.I am not used to create DTS packages and schedule jobs, so I would needsome help.Thank youInna

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?

Hi,
I have about 300-400 XML files I want to load in my SQL database (2005). The following code will load one (1) file. How do i do a mulitple collections?
INSERT INTO MEL (DATA) SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET (BULK'C:TempCHAPTER1.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS TEMP 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'

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.

Why doesn't the xml file have primary key column data?
Hello,
I am kind of new to Sql Server 2005.

But I need to find a way to import many delimited text files at once.

thanks in advance,

How to import multiple text files (residing in single folder) into SQL Server table? I know how to import single file but not sure how multiple files could be loaded? Pls. guide.

I have a client who is sending me 800+ excel files each month with sales data. Each of the files is identical in structure, but has sales data for different stores. I receive all these files at the same time.
Is there a method with Data Transformation Services where I can have it work off of all the files in a given directory. I can set up DTS to work off of specific Excel files with no problem, but what I would like to do is set up a DTS so it could pull from each of the 800+ files.
Is this possible, or do I need to look at a solution outside of SQL to consolidate the Excel files first?
The Excel file would have columns similar to the following: store_id, zip_code, sales, transactions.
HiI have multiple excel files of the same format in a directory.They are called book1.xls, book2.xls, book3.xls and so on.What is the easiest way to import the tab named sheet1 from each ofthe excel files to a databse using SQL server 2000 enterprise edition?Regards,Ciarán
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know from experience that the Excel connection mechanisms are somewhat limited. I was wondering if anyone has come across a solution to this problem.
We receive an excel file from a business line. Basically a list of account mods for a given month. Due to the tabular nature of Excel, sometimes the amount of mods exceeds the limits of one tab and has to roll over into a second tab. The names of the tabs reflect the file creation date, which often is the last day of the month, but not always. Here is a question related to this-
Is there a way to "query" a the list of tabs in an Excel file, so that I could store that record set in an SSIS variable, use it to loop through all the tabs? If no, can you think of a way to somehow get the value of the tab name or names so that I can use it to dynamically set the OpenRowset value of the Excel Data Source?
Thanks for your help, everyone!

Hi,
I am trying to import multiple .csv files to excel sheets using Script task in SSIS.
I have trouble importing the reference that allows us to read and write to excel sheets. Can anyone help me create a script task that will import multiple .csv files to excel sheets.
Hello all,
I'm new to SSIS and have a question about the best way to generate multiple Excel files with my current package design. I have a stored procedure that I run from an Execute SQL Task in a foreach loop container, and it generates results as appropriate for each of the parameters it loops through.
What's the best way to take the result set from each of those executions and generate an Excel file from each set? How do I map that result set variable to be the input for creating a new Excel file? Is this best done as a script task somehow?
Should I not be using SSIS for this task? I thought I would just create a package and schedule it to run daily with SQL Agent, and it would autogenerate the Excel files as needed.
Thanks for your advice!
Hi,
I'd recently posted a question about using SQL CE as a database server for a multi-user desktop app. I did some development and tested it, and it seemed to work fine. What I did was:
1. create a remoteable object that used SqlCe classes to perform read and write operations to an encrypted CE database.
public class RemData : MarshalByRefObject
{
public DataSet GetData()
{
//Read data
}
public int AddData(DataSet data)
{
//Write data
}
}
2. hosted this object in a Remoting Server
TcpServerChannel channel = new TcpServerChannel(props, bp);
// Register the channel with the runtime remoting services
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel, false);
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(
typeof(RemData ), // The type to register
"RM_RemData", // The objectURI
WellKnownObjectMode.SingleCall
);
So, basically the CE DB is running in-proc with this Remoting Server. This is hosted on a regular P2 1GB box.
3. created client WinForms app to connect to this object through remoting with url tcp://myserverip/RM_RemData and distributed this client EXE to various machines within the intranet to execute the GetData and AddData methods
This seems to work perfectly fine and super fast, and i was also concurrently executing the above methods in loops of 100.
So what I don't understand is why most of the posts I read about multi-user scenario here and on the web are always discouraging people to only use CE for single-user desktop? As long as I use the SQL CE ONLY as a Data Store and all logic into my data layer such as the Remotabe Objects, will this be a feasible option for around 10-20 Users since CE allows 256 Connections anyway?
My other questions are with regards to programmatically Import/Export to and from CSV and Excel..is this supported or anything planned?
Would appreciate a detailed response..my product hangs in balance as i need some closure on this
Thanks,
CP
I am getting the following error when trying to load multiple excel files using for each loop container in SSIS, I tried to put the quotes in several different ways but still can't get rid of this error. I was able to successfully load single excel file, but when I use the for each loop container that's when I am having problems. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thx.

I have multiple excel Files  each has one sheet (With same column names) need to be loaded in a single table. I tried For each loop but couldn't succeed. Â
As I am new to SSIS. How to configure For each loop container for this...
I have an excel file which contains lots of sheets. Some of them are named as DW-<day>-<month> (for e.g; DW-1-July). Like this I have sheets for the whole month. I have other sheets too with a different name. I would like to import data from these sheets only (DW ones). Upon my research I have found that this can be achieved via For Each Loop Container (I guess!).Â
Post data import, I have a set of T-SQL query that I plan to execute via Execute SQL Task.Â
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:

How can I address that issue? (e.g. Where is this provider and how do I install it?)

Thanks.
