Hi All.
Would you happen to know how one could convert some Excel spreadsheets to MSSQL? There is some commercially available software, but there must also be a way for me to manipulate the files.
Many thanks!

How can I use code (wither it be SQL or .Net Framework) to programmatically import 8 different Excel Sheets into One SQL Table (that currently does not exist)?
This is SQL Server 2005. Excel 2007.
I'm battling with importing sales data from different ERP systems into a SQL table. I have multiple spreadsheets, which have the same sheet name, column names and formats. I use a for each file loop container to loop through the different files. I use variables passed to a script to pull the relevant source information from the file name. I then use the variables to create derived columns in the flow to indicate the datadate and the company division.
My problem is even though all the data and metadata looks the same, there are a couple of columns between the two spread sheets that alway complain about the metadata not matching or a coumn needing to be added to the external metadata column collection and the same coumn name needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
These spreadsheets are coming from different countries but I have gone in and adjusted any fromats that are different from the excel spreadsheet used as the template. The same two columns out of 12 complain and I'm not sure what is causing the error. In the error is
Warning: 0x800470C8 at Read excel File, Excel Source [274]: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "COGS" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The "external metadata column "COGS " (2512)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
Eventually, I'll have 3 spreadsheets to load and need to find out why they are not viewed as the same data and metadata when they apear that way on the surface. I've searched numerous blogs out there (Even Jamie's) and can't find anything.
Thanks,

We have a process here that produces several dozen Excel Spreadsheets every day from SQL Server using the bcp utility. the problem is that we cannot include the column headers when producing the Output. We are therefore trying to find a method where we can append the column Headers to the Spreadsheets; is there a way of doing this?

Some of the reports I am generating have tens of columns so the management decides to use Excel files only.
Is there any way that for a single report (not the whole project) I can disable printing and most of the exporting options (including PDF, HTML, TXT ...) and only leave the xls files available?
Thanks a lot.

I am trying to import data from named ranges in excel spreadsheets. I have no troubles if the named sheets have the same number of columns but I can not get the package to work when the spreadsheets have different number of columns. I am using the excel source as the input to my dataflow. I have tried setting it up with the maximum number of columns but if the named range has less than that, I am getting an error.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDear Friends,
I am designing a web app using sql server 2005 as a the backend. I have spent an enormous amount of time designing the db tables and ensured that they are normalised. Many, as you would expect have reference to what I would call indexes which are linked via foreign keys. This may be a really dumb question but.....
How do I make a lookup referential table where the integers become categories not an exact reference value (just like we do when we use vlookup in excel)?
Sorry but I am a little confused.....Thanks for your help guys.

I applied the following info and created an SSIS package that allows COM control of Excel:
unable to add reference to Microsoft Excel in VSA
The package runs locally, and can be executed successfully after it is migrated to the server, but both of these processes use local memory space (I think). When I try to run the package via a job, it fails with the following error:

hi
i have an excel sheet with 2 columns
regno name
----- ------
and a table regdetails of the form
regdetails
(
regno bigint
name varchar(30)
)
my requirement is to export the data from excel sheet to the table.
the excel sheet may have duplicate entries but i want only distinct
records to be exported to the table.
can i create a DTS package to perform this ?
please post ur comments
Hi,
is there any way to port excel data into mssql through mssql management studio express edition or by using excel itself.
thanks
Hello -
I am dealing with SSIS in VS 2005... Trying to convert all my DTS packages... So, basically all my packages will extract some information from a database and load the results into a spreadsheet.
To start I am trying to do a TOP 1 returning a string from the db... The first row has column names but mysteriously the package will start to write the expected results in the third row instead of the second one. The second row will remain blank and if I do a preview against the destination spreadsheet within the pkg I will see a NULL value in the second row and then in the third row I will see the string I was expecting.
Tried the following with no success:
Regedit.exe, in Hkey_Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/Jet/4.0/Engines/Excel/ do TypeGuessRows=8, ImportMixedTypes=Text, AppendBlankRows=0, FirstRowHasNames=Yes
Any help would be really appreciated.
Where is the correct forum for that,
Thanks,
Dani.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to find some code or documentation that I can use to create a web page that will save data from an excel file to a mssql database
MSSQL noob here. Sorry guys, but I really need some help.
I have a MSSQL (2000) database and a Products Table. Now, there was three columns used for pricing that I was not able to populate on the initial usage. So I exported the table as an Excel document, and got rid of everything except the UID (unique identifier column) the Name, and the Three columns, so that the customer could take their time in filling out the information.
Ok, so These are what are common to both the MSSQL database and the Excel sheet
column uid = unique id integer
column Name = text
column eBay = number
column PriceGrabber = number
column Amazon = number
So, any idea how I can update my Products Table with this?
Please HELP!

Does enabling/disabling Data Execution Prevention have a performanceimpact on SQL 2000 or SQL 2005?For SQL best performance - how should I configure for:Processor Scheduling:Programs or Background servicesMemory Usage:Programs or System Cache
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY
(ACTIVITY_NAME ASC, PROCESS_NAME ASC, START_TIME ASC, ISMONITORED ASC)
INCLUDE
(INSTANCE_ID, ACTIVITY_TYPE, STATUS, END_TIME, ORGANIZATION);
Any help in creating such indexes in 2000 version is welcome.
Thanks,
Suresh.

I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via:
a. DETACH / ATTACH
b. BACKUP / RESTORE
c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result?
2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases?
3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.
DB is developed on local computer with MSSQL 2005 Express. My host is on MSSQL 2005 workgroup. Are they compatible, because I am getting errors? Is my approach wrong?
I have tried several approaches.
A) I created a backup of database on my local, then placed a copy on the server. Then I tried to restore through Server Management Studio. I get this error.

C: I have also tried opening the Database, and back up file through Server Management Studio. without success.
D: I also tried Windows and Software update at microsoft update, but no updates were recommended for Version on Server.
I'm surprised this is so hard. My original data base was created in same family of software. 2005 MS SQL Express. I could use some direct help from someone experienced with this. Am I doing it wrong or are the DB versions incompatible.

Hi!
What is the best way to migrate MSSQL 2005 Express -> MSSQL 2005 Srv?
Help!!!!!!
I cannot get the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard to work!!
I have one machine with NT 4 (SP4) and SQL 6.5 and another machine with NT 4 (SP4) and SQL 7.0 (new install, never had SQL 6.5 one it). I want to upgrade a database to 7.0.
Each machine can 'see' the other via shares and even trying to register a SQL database in each other machines Enterprize manager (although that fails because they are different versions of SQL)
Using the Upgrade Wizard, on the third screen, where you specify the Server Name for the export server, it even has the other server's name in the dropdown list {I never even put it in}. And yet, after I set the export server name and put in the database SA account password and then put in the SA account password for the local server (the one that is running the Upgrade Wizard).
After I select next, I get a message that states...
'Unable to connect to Export Server. Please verify that you are an NT administrator on that machine.'
These are standalone servers. Not BDC's. I am logged into each machine as the administrator.
I have tried adjusting the SQL services to allow logging as the System Account and the administrator account and a whole bunch of options....
but I can't get it to work.
HELP!!! This shouldn't be this hard.... should it???
Does creating the tables first before copying the data from 6.5 to 7.0 is the best way to migrate from SQL 6.5 to 7.0?
Thanks in Advance!
