Hi Anyone I am new member and happy to be here.
I am having trouble exporting the correct data from sql server to an excel spreadsheet using 'OPENROWSET'
The problem is that although the data from my sql table is say :
'a',1,2,3 , the excel spreadsheet sees the data as :
'a','1,'2,'3 ..1,2,3 are of course numbers NOT text, its just that the driver has put a single appostraphy before the number !
I know there is a bug with the ISAM driver but has anyone managed to solve this or has anyone have any alternatives ?
best regards

I'm doing an openrowset query on an excel sheet. (Using SQL Server 2005) Everything works great, except that I have one column that has both numeric and text data in the spreadsheet. The query returns that column as datatype varchar but puts nulls in the rows that have numeric data in the spreadsheet.
Any suggestions?
I run:
select *
from openrowset('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;database=[filepathandname],
'select * from [Sheet1$A4:G5000]')
on spreadsheet data that looks like:
Model_id Model_name
. . .
123 t4556
124 x225
125 455
. . .
and get something like . . . .
Model_id Model_name
. . .
123 t4556
124 x225
125 NULL
. . .

Same with OpenDataSource. SQL 2000, logged in as non-SA.Getting message:Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has beendenied. You must access this provider through a linked server.Can run with SQLOLEDB with connection string to same server(obviously), but when trying to access an Excel file, get the messageabove.It appears that the file name given in the connection string to Excelis with respect to the SQL server, so I have used UNC names to thefile. Nothing.Want to avoid DTS when it's a table that I need and can't use a linkedserver because it's always a one time thing.Any tips appreciated!

Haven't been able to find much information on using openrowset with excel 2007 xlsx files. I've tried the following with no success so far.
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Excel 12.0 Xml;Database=\serverfolderfile.xlsx;HDR=No;IMEX=1',
'SELECT f1 FROM [Raw Keywords$] WHERE f1 IS NOT NULL')
If anyone knows the correct way to do this please tell me.

Hello,
I would like to delete all data from an excel sheet except the headers row.
Is there any way to do this using Openrowset with JET or something like that?

insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=D: esting.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') select * from pubs.dbo.authors
I am using similiar query to above to create a excel file, however for this to work, I need to create a template file which has the same columns as the authors table. Is there a way to NOT to define template columns , as I some times will not know which columns will be available... as teh query is dynamic....

I've created a stored procedure that accepts two arguments: the name of an Excel workbook (@workbookBillRun), and the name of the first worksheet found in that workbook (@worksheetBillRun).
Through dynamic SQL, I'm able to construct a statement that pulls out data.
SELECT @sqlBillRun = '
SELECT [ACCTNUM], [INVNUM], [RECURRING], [NON RECURRING], [USAGE],[DISCOUNT],[TAXES]
FROM OPENROWSET (''Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0'', ''Excel 12.0;;Database=' +@workbookBillRun+ ';HDR=YES'',
''SELECT * from [' +@worksheetBillRun+ '$]'')'
The workbook name will always be known: when the user uploads the file, I change the name to match a certain pattern. Example: 2011-08 AUG.xlsx
However, I won't always know the worksheet name. The workbook *should* contain just one worksheet; and the worksheet *should* be named identically to the workbook (2011-08 AUG), but it may not be named as such. And if I pass an invalid worksheet name, the code above will fail.
I've created error handling to alert the user of an incorrectly named sheet. However, I was curious whether I could extract the name of the first worksheet in the workbook from within T-SQL.

Hi, recently I encountered the following problem:
I tried to execute a stored procedure on the newly installed SQL 2005 Server (now on x64 Win Server 2003) which imports an Excel-File into a DB table.
We use OPENROWSET to access the Excel data. But I recognized this is dependent on Jet OLE DB which seems is not available for x64 windows.
Is there another way to import excel data using a stored procedure.
thank you in advance, rene

Hello,
I responded to a very old discussion thread & afraid I buried it too deep.
I have studied the article: How to Pass a Variable to a Linked Query (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q314520)
but I have not gotten all the ''''' + @variable syntax right.
Here is my raw openrowset with what I am aiming at.
Code Snippet
-- I want to use some kind of variable, like this to use in the file:
DECLARE @FIL VARCHAR(65)
SET @FIL = 'C:company foldersDocumentationINVENTORY.xls;'
--
SELECT FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);DBQ=C:company foldersDocumentationINVENTORY.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [Inventory$]')
AS DT
Anyone game? Many thank-yous, in advance.
Kind Regards,
Claudia.

I have a test server (TEST1) running SQL 2012 and Windows 2012R2. One of the developers wants to use OPENROWSET to read in data from an Excel 2010 file (an xlsx file).
I have loaded the Microsoft Drivers in "AccessDatabaseEngine_64.exe" and enabled the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries option in SQL.
This is the sample code we are working with:
SELECT
X.MEMBID
FROM OPENROWSET(
'MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=etworkserverFolder1Folder2MEMBIDs.xlsx',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'
) AS X
I can run the sample query from my laptop with SSMS (I have admin rights) and I can also run it as SA from my laptop. So all is good, right?
But if I RDC into TEST1, I cannot run the query. I get this error:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".But wait! It gets better.
I can run the query as SA from TEST1.
And of course, the developer can't run it either.
And it works fine in the production server.
I'm thinking the basics are there but something isn't right in some permission somewhere.

Maybe it worked once, but in most time it doesn't work, query like below
select top 10 *
from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webablefilessitefiles4000010
eibcactive.xls',
'select * from [crap2$]')
I got error
OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
but the same query can run without any problem on a SQL 2000 server run on a server in the same network.
Any idea?

Hi,
I am having a recurring issue that involves a stored proc using OPENROWSET to query an excel file. I used the surface area config to enable this on the server, and made sure that is still set. After an undetermined amount of time, the OPENROWSET query starts failing with this message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
I corrected this previously by restarting the SQL server, but not before I checked permissions, the excel file itself, etc, and that was the last thing to try.
I am using SQL 2005 with SP1 installed - my primary approach to tackling this issue is to install the SP2, but I did not find this bug referenced in the fixes, and was wondering if anyone else had further insight.
Thanks,
Darrell Young

How come when I run the script:
select * from openrowset ('MSDASQL', 'Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);DBQ=\inawwwpro01d$atrUploadACK102.xls' , 'select * from [sheet1$]') from Server A I get a RESULT, and when I run from Server B I get the following error:
Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server.
Both servers are using IDENTICAL SQL Logins.
Both servers are SQL 2000 SP2.
When I run the script on Server B logged in as SA, then I get a Result!!!

Hi!
I decided to use OPENROWSET for importing data from an excel file into a sql table.When I import the data,I have a problem:
-not all the data is imported to my sql table
-some values in the sql table are different from the ones in the excel file
For example,a value that in the excel file is:87878787 will be in the SQL table:8.78788e+007.
Can somebody pls tell me what's the problem

Hi Folks,I am trying to load data from a table in MS Access to SQL Server 2000using T-SQL OPENROWSET. When I select data from the remote database (MSAccess) using SQL Query analyzer, the columns do NOT appear in the sameorder as seen in Access directly.For e.g. if Access table has columns Cy, Cx, Cz the output in Queryanalyzer appears as Cx, Cy, Cz. It appears to arrange the fieldsalphabetically. This causes problems when I do a 'insert into select *from' as the field definitions do not agree.Is this a bug or is there a setting in Access/SQL which I am missing?Also, please let me know if there is a workaround for this issue.Thanks in advance!Bhaskar

When I use:
Code:
select BulkColumn as txt from openrowset(BULK 'c:Tempdata35.txt', SINGLE_NCLOB) as text
It only retrieves the first row. How can I select all the lines in the file?

I am trying to use OPENROWSET in SQL Server to connect to my Access database, but I keep getting the following error:
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'X:SetupDatabaseKDB_X2.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.]

I have checked the database, it is not in use, and there is no password set on the database that would prevent me from getting access to it. Any ideas? Here's the syntax I'm using:
SELECT *

select @xml = bulkcolumn from openrowset(bulk 'C:Documents and

here after bulk instead of giving path, we have to give parameter so that the paramter takes the value from the table.
the tables contains paths of xml files

Hi I have a table like:

BISFFBUAALPA1AanothertablePAARSsomefield3
and would like to create views for each distinct table, using openrowset.
An added complexity is that the library name depends on the company code (i.e. BISxxSET.ALPA0A turns to BIS03SET.ALPA0A for company 03 whereas BSFFBUA.ALPA1A remains intact).
Thanks in advance

I have an excel file on a web server on a different location to the sql server. I want to use OPENROWSET to query the excel file, but it doesn't seem to like using a URL.
Is this the case, or am I doing it wrong? Works fine when I use a local address (eg c:excelfile.xls) when testing locally, but I need to use a URL in production.
