OPENROWSET On XML File Through HTTP
May 7, 2008
Hi everyone,
I am currently using the OPENROWSET command to read a XML file.
-- Use OPENROWSET to read an XML file from the file system
SELECT @xml = BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c:file.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) TempXML
However, the file I wish to process is being generated externally and published through a web server. The file is constantly being updated, and I need to have the latest data frequently. Is it possible to do something along the lines of:
-- Use OPENROWSET to read an XML file from the file system
SELECT @xml = BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'http://webserver/file.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) TempXML
If it is not possible, can someone recommend the best method to copy/download the file? I have considered standalone Windows Services and utilizing SQL Server. Are there significant pros or cons to either approach? Are there other methods I am not awere of? Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt K.

Has anyone had any experience using the openrowset function to access a dbase IV file? I can access the file using ADO from within VB but not getting anywhere using openrowset. If anyone knows the syntax or has an example it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Can I use OPENROWSET in Query Analyzer to connect to a text file in a SELECT statement and/or an INSERT statement? I need to move data from a text file to a SQL Server db. But, I can't figure out the right parameters for the OPENROWSET method. Thanks for any help.

Hi There
I am using OPENROWSET to import a file from disk to a varbinary(max) column in sql server.
However as far as i can see OPENROWSET is only to import into Sql Server. However i need to reverse this as well, by that i mean export a varbinary(max) column data to a file on disk. How can i do this ? (The file is a compress text file).
How does this work for file types, i mean you can import any file as binary but when you export it back to disk will the file typr still work, will a .xls or a.exe imprted and exported like this still function 100%.
Thanx?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to query an excel file and I get a mistake. The query is as follows:
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:ExcelFile.xls', 'select * from Sheet1')
and I get the following error message:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Book1'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IColumnsInfo::GetColumnsInfo returned 0x80004005: ].
I'm thanking any help that you can give.
Thanks,
Oscar.

I have a .ttx file similar to this:
"xxxxxxxxx" "dc8" "184:30" "168:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" "00:00" 0 0 0 1
I want to read from this file from T-SQL, I saw in a previous post that its possible to do it using OPENROWSET (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190312.aspx)
I don€™t have a clue what parameters i must use on the OPENROWSET T-sql command (provider name to ttx ?)
I would appreciate if anyone could give an example of how to do this
Thanks !

I'm looking for a way with Integration Services in SQL'05 to upload a file. How could I do this? Is there any examples out there?
This partuclar HTTP Server has WEBDAV configured so if I could just point to the URL location and new FILE that would be excellent.
Thanks

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

Hi,
I have to write a query that queries a database table and a text file wich is delimited using fixed width values. I have seen some examples using access or another databse but not much about a text file. Is this the best way? Idon't want to set up a linked server. I want everything to be within the query.
My understanding is that I should be able to do it since a text file can be a valed OLE DB datasource, but I am having trouble finding example syntax. Can all my connection info be passed with the OPENROWSET function? Can I do it by just writing a query? Or do I have to set up and configure other things?
Any guidence, tips, advice, examples, or links of syntax appreciated.
Mike

I have a directory with images and a table in my DB with the path of each file. The main application allow me to create reports where I can display an image, so I was thinking to use a query like:
SELECT [ID]
,[PT_CODE]
,[FILE_PATH],
CASE WHEN [FILE_PATH] IS NOT NULL THEN
(SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK [FILE_PATH], SINGLE_BLOB) TT)
END
AS IMAGE_LOADED
FROM [DB].[dbo].[TABLE_MR_FILES]But I keep getting the error:
Incorrect syntax near 'FILE_PATH'.I have try multiple combinations without luck to make the OPENROWSET read the path stored in the column [FILE_PATH]. What am I missing?
Note: I am using MSSQL 2012. I don't want to import the images into the DB just load them in the fly as needed by the report runned from the application. I have full access to the DB so if a store procedure is the solution I can go with it.

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.

eibcactive.xls',
'select * from [crap2$]')
I got 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 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

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
. . .
