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.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
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 *
FROM OpenRowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'X:SetupDatabaseKDB_X2.mdb';'Admin';'', subPSEL_PList))
I have an access database from which i want to use data in sql server if a table has column with values like 6.32404E-244 i've got an error message like:
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' for linked server '(null)' returned invalid data for column '[Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0].Stoc_Max'
a simple select like 'SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(.....,table) gives me this error.
I have a text file, that I need to import to SQL. I am trying to do this using OPENROWSET. This is the qry i use below.
select * from OpenRowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)}; DefaultDir=c:edge;', 'select * from vwConstrLendingLoanDefiDetailReady.txt')
I have created a System DSN, For the microsoft text driver. Anyhow it throws this error:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
I am trying to execute the following ad-hoc query (I have already configured the remote server to allow ad-hoc queries):
--EXECUTE AS USER = suser_name() SELECT c.* INTO #MyTempTable FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=MyRemoteServer;Trusted_Connection=yes;', 'select * from mydb..mytable (nolock) where PurchaseOrderID in (''19509114'', ''24075854'')) AS c;
I receive the following error message: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.
I have admin privileges on the remote box-how can I get this to execute in the context of my account rather than this NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON account?
Hi, I've been having a really weird error with a one-liner:
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=c:directExport.xls;HDR=YES','SELECT * FROM [directExport$]')
Error: Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the error.].
I managed to fix this since the account SqlServer was using didn't have right privelages to wwwroot or windir apparently, where the saved excel file was.
However, I wrote a .net page letting me save a gridview as an Excel, and then I tried using that Excel file (same format of information inside) and the error popped up again. I then cut out the information in that excel file (created by my .net page), pasted it into a new excel file and then renamed it, and the new file would work when I ran the query analyzer. The only difference is that in the original excel file created, the lines seperating the cells are not there (the gray ones that are there by default), but I really doubt this is the problem, as gray lines are there just to help the user see the different cells.
This is really puzzling to me. Why would it not work in one file, but when I cut it out and put it into an excel file it would work? I wasn't really sure where to post this, as this could be a .net error, and something's wrong with my saving-gridview-as-excel, but I just wanted to know if this could be related to T-SQL first before I try elsewhere. Thanks!

I recieve this error when trying to create my sproc:
Heterogeneous queries require the ANSI_NULLS and ANSI_WARNINGS options to be set for the connection. This ensures consistent query semantics. Enable these options and then reissue your query.
Here is my sql code:

I'm able to create the sproc when I turn the ANSI_NULL ON but that will cause the return to drop any records that have a null value. I would like it to return all records even if there is a null value in the fields.

Anyone notice an issue in SQL 2005 with openrowset? I get the following error:
Cannot process the object "exec testProc". The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(null)" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object.
I have tried to use the set FMTONLY ON option but I get the same error. I understand the openrowset is trying to get meta data, but this seems extremely limiting if you cannot use temp tables. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
example code to produce the error.
create procedure testProc
as
select * into #tmp
from master..sp_who
go
select *
from OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI','Server=sql2005;Trusted_Connection=Yes;Integrated
I am not able to use WHERE Clause in my query. What am I doing wrong?
Here my query that will generate error: SELECT * INTO LN_S FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'DSN=SHADOW', 'SELECT * FROM LN_ACCT WHERE trn_dt > '2007-03-08' '
I am getting this error: Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Line 4: Incorrect syntax near '2007'.
Here is my query which doesn't generate error: SELECT * INTO LN_S FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'DSN=SHADOW', 'SELECT * FROM LN_ACCT'
Using SQL Server 2000 DSN to a CACHE database on local network
Hi, I have 2 separate clients experiencing this problem, Both systems are 1.Win 2000 Server with Small Business Server 2000 (SP4) 2.SQL Server 2000 (SP2 upgraded to SP4, SP4) 3.Exchange 4.IIS etc
We use SQL Server to connect to FoxPro 2.6 Tables.
We are using OPENROWSET as follows:
Select * from openrowset('VFPOLEDB.1','C:Client Data';;,'Select * from cm')
We are now getting this error: Server: Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Could not fetch a row from OLE DB provider 'vfpoleDB.1'. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'vfpoleDB.1' IRowset::GetNextRows returned 0x80040155].
The statement worked up until around 20 days ago, which made us think that it may be windows updates/sps/hotfixes, but i have installed the above on a test machine and installed all windows updates and the test machine works AOK.

Is there a way to avoid entering column names in the excel template for me to create an excel file froma dynamic excel using openrowset. I have teh following code but it works fien when column names are given ahead of time. If I remove the column names from the template and just to Select * from the table and Select * from sheet1 then it tells me that column names donot match. Server: Msg 213, Level 16, State 5, Line 1Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition. here is my code... SET @sql1='select * from table1'SET @sql2='select * from table2' IF @File_Name = '' Select @fn = 'C:Test1.xls' ELSE Select @fn = 'C:' + @File_Name + '.xls' -- FileCopy command string formation SELECT @Cmd = 'Copy C:TestTemplate1.xls ' + @fn -- FielCopy command execution through Shell Command EXEC MASTER..XP_CMDSHELL @cmd, NO_OUTPUT -- Mentioning the OLEDB Rpovider and excel destination filename set @provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' set @ExcelString = 'Excel 8.0;HDR=yes;Database=' + @fn exec('insert into OPENrowset(''' + @provider + ''',''' + @ExcelString + ''',''SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'') '+ @sql1 + '') exec('insert into OPENrowset(''' + @provider + ''',''' + @ExcelString + ''',''SELECT * FROM [Sheet2$]'') '+ @sql2 + ' ')
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!!!
how can i use openrowset. my aim is to develop a import and export data from diff. server . i am using vb.net 2003 , sql sever 2000. when i am running openroeset function with window or server authontication it is showing 'OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
anybuddy help me , pls. tell me the right solution.
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.
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

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 ?
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$A4:G5000]')
and would like to create views for each distinct table, using openrowset. An added complexity is that the library name depends on the company code (i.e. BISxxSET.ALPA0A turns to BIS03SET.ALPA0A for company 03 whereas BSFFBUA.ALPA1A remains intact).
Hy Forum !I tried to do somsthing like this:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.maches ASselect * from openrowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','C: empFehler.mdb'; 'Administrator'; ' ' , Fehlerliste)This user 'Admistrator' exists and there is no password for the .mdbfile. In the end the syntax checker tells me:Fehler 7303: Datenquellenoblekt von OLE DB Provider'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' konnte nicht initialisiert werden.I'm using Access 2000 and SQL Server 7.Thank you
I have an excel file on a web server on a different location to the sql server. I want to use OPENROWSET to query the excel file, but it doesn't seem to like using a URL.
Is this the case, or am I doing it wrong? Works fine when I use a local address (eg c:excelfile.xls) when testing locally, but I need to use a URL in production.
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=http://mydot.com/excelfile.xls','SELECT * FROM [page1$]')
We have lots of OPENROWSET usage here, all with embedded user id's and passwords. In an attempt to find a way to eliminate such a foolish practice I created a system DSN on my PC and tried to use it to connect to our sqlserver 2000 database as follows:
SELECT a.* FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DSN=TargetDB', 'SELECT * FROM table1') AS a
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. Authentication failed. [OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80040e4d: Authentication failed.].
I thought the reason to create an ODBC system data source was to not have to enter credentials in code but use the credentials in the system DSN. I guess I was wrong. Is there any way to not embed user id's and passwords in OPENROWSET code? Having user id's and passwords in code is dangerous and foolish and I am surprised people do it.
Hi everyone, I have some doubts about OPENROWSET T-SQL function . According to my knowledges about this, openrowset function provide us to use a data from a different Server only that time that we use this function. After we use this function, there is no any linked server trace on the local server. So is this true ? I see that everyone use different parameter for this function. For instance, everyone firstly use OLE DB name and then the second srvprovider name changes programmer to programmer, so why ? And lastly, I wonder about the relationship between ad hoc method and openrowSet function.
