OpenDataSource Trouble With Advantage SQL

Jun 17, 2006

Hi folks.
I'm trying to connect to a Medisoft Advantage SQL db through SQL Server
using OpenDataSource or OpenRowSet. I have general connections to the db
working fine, but not with OpenDataSource or OpenRowSet.

I've tried variations on:

select * from
OpenDataSource(
'Advantage OLE DB Provider',
'Data Source=C:MediDataTutormwddf.add;
User ID=user;Password=password;
Advantage Server Type=ADS_LOCAL_SERVER;
Initial Catalog=mwddf.add;')...MWPAT

Which gives:
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Advantage OLE DB Provider'
IColumnsInfo::MapColumnIDs returned 0x80040e21: [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_CATALOG
ORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_SCHEMA ORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_NAME
ORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_TYPE ORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_GUID
ORDINAL=-1]].

I've also tried:

select * from
Openrowset(
'Advantage OLE DB Provider',
'Data Source=C:MediDataTutormwddf.add;User
ID=user;Password=password;Initial Catalog=mwddf.add;Advantage Server
Type=ADS_REMOTE_SERVER',
MWPAT)
and 'Select * from MWPAT'.
These last yield:

[OLE/DB provider returned message: No Data Source specified]

which seems closer.

Can anyone help? I think this is all Advantage-specific. I've posted on
their boards, but their not very active...

Thanks.

David

Any Advantage Executing Packages Out Of Process On X64?

May 12, 2007

On 64 bit SSIS platforms (win2k3 and vista), where the amount of virtual memory is practically unlimited, is there any advantage to running child Integration Services Execute Package Tasks out of process? The question pertains to 64 bit processes on a 64 platform, not 32 on 32, or 32 bit emulation processes on 64.



Would the answer be different based on the amount of physical memory on the machine, supposing one had a "reasonable" amount of memory on the machine (e.g. 4Gb or more )

Advantage Of Using A Data Source In A Project

Jun 18, 2007



I am new to SSIS.

I came across the following article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms139848(SQL.90).aspx

It states that:

"A data source can be defined one time and then referenced by connection managers in multiple packages. You use a data source object in a package by adding a connection manager that references the data source object to the package. There is no dependency between a data source and the connection managers that reference it."

I have created a data source (DS1) and set it to point to a database say DB1. In the connection managers area, I create a connection manager CM1 using the datasource DS1.Now I edit DS1 to point to a different database DB2. When I open CM1 however it€™s still pointing to DS1.

I guess this is because it€™s said that there is no dependency between the connection manager and data source. My question is what exactly is the advantage of using a data source?

OpenDataSource Quandary

Aug 17, 2007

I am trying to open and query a Microsoft Access "like" database from SQL Server 2000 using OpenDataSource. This will work for a little while, but if I am to update my ASP.NET code base I have to completely reboot the machine for these queries to work again. I also have two reboot the machine periodically because this functionality decides to crap out. I am doing this from a stored procedure. My code looks like this:DECLARE @SelectCode varchar(5000)SET @SelectCode ='SELECT CONVERT(varchar, Value) AS UnitName FROMOPENDATASOURCE(''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'', ''Data Source = "' + @Path + @DataFile + '.fcd";User ID=Admin;Password=;'')...Properties WHERE Property LIKE ''UnitName'''EXEC(@SelectCode)Now, when I am developing on my local machine that uses Windows Authentication, I have absolutely no problems, unless the source file has a schema error.Any ideas?

OPENDATASOURCE Connections

Jan 13, 2008

 Hi all, In a select sql statement, I have to query 2 databases from 2 different servers. The only way I found to do this, is to call OPENDATASOURCE like this :<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:bdConnectionString1 %>"        SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Table1] t1 left join OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx').dbname.dbo.table2 t2 on t1.id = t2.id">    </asp:SqlDataSource>My question is the following :Is there a way to connect to the second server without using the full server declaration into the sql statement ? For information, the server connection is already declare into my web.config like that :<add name="bdConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx"   providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />so is there a way to use 'bdConnectionString2' directly ?If not, is there a way to connect to the second server without entering informations like User ID and Password ? My problem being that I'm not sure it's safe to send this informations directly from the asp.net page. Thank you

OPENDATASOURCE Via NT Authentication Within SQL Agent Job

Dec 2, 2005

Hi,

I have written a stored procedure which extracts job history from all our servers using the OPENDATASOURCE function using NT authentication.

It's works fine when the stored procedure is called from Query Analyser, however I want it to be called hourly so are calling it from a SQL agent job.

I have set the job to run as myself, and the owner is myself, but the procedure fails when trying to connect to the first server, giving the error :-

"Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. about to query : aadmin01 [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. [SQLSTATE 28000] (Error 18452). The step failed."

It doesn't seem to be able to make the NT authenticated connection when the OPENDATASOURCE function is called from within the context of a SQL agent job.

I know a solution may be to use a regular SQL login for the OPENDATASOURCE calls, but this means hard-coding passwords into the stored procedure - I'd read this is bad practice.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks

Use Variable For Datasource In Opendatasource

May 4, 2006

I would like to create a stored procedure that imports an Excel file toa sql server table. I need to be able to pass the path to thespreadsheet to the stored procedure like so:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ImportSpreadsheet(@Path nvarchar(120))ASSELECT * INTO AuditFROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source = ' + @Path + ';Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...Audit$I will call the stored procedure from within my .NET application andpass it the path as @Path. The path will be chosen by the user at runtime and will be something similar toC:SpreadsheetsAudits.xls.I can make this run in the Query Analyzer:SELECT * INTO AuditFROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source = ''C:SpreadsheetsAudits.xlsAudit_TC.xls'';Extend edProperties=Excel 8.0')...Audit$I could run the SQL directly from my app, but I like to use storedprocs whenever I can for the speed and flexibility. I can change thestored proc and not have to recompile/reinstall the app.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OPENDATASOURCE In Update Statement

May 21, 2008

Hi All

I'm trying to update feilds in a local table from a remote table using the following:
update schema.table1 set acc = r.acc, add = r.add
from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=user;Password=mypw').db.schema.table1 as R, schema.table1 as L where R.acc = L.acc

When run from Query Analyser, it fails with:
Could not find server '"db"."schema"."table1" in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.

On both servers, the database, schema and table names are the same.

Running SQL2K SP4 on both servers. Don't want to set up linked servers, as they will only connect on a scheduled basis to perform updates.

Other queries such as insert work, as well as update OPENDATASOURCE( . . .) set x=L.x from schema.table where . . . so it's a prob with the From clause of the update.

Am I missing something, or is what I'm trying to do just not possible?

TIA

OPENROWSET And OPENDATASOURCE Truncation To 255 Characters

Dec 21, 2004

I have the following T-SQL commands which run without errors:

select Description_Text
from OpenRowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};
DefaultDir=D:Import;','select * from company_finance.csv')

select Description_Text
from OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=D:Import;Extended Properties="Text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"')...company_finance#csv

When I run either command on our TEST server, all the text in the fields retrieved is returned, but when I run on our PRODUCTION server, all fields are truncated to 255 characters. The source file company_finance.csv is identical on both servers. Both servers have the same O/S (Win 2K Server), same version of SQL Server 2000 and MDAC (2.71). I cannot figure out if the problem is on the SQL Server side, or has something to do with some registry settings or something else, but both the Text Driver and the Jet drivers produce the similar results on each servers. Are there some config settings in SQL Server or in the registry I can look at to determine why the truncation is occurring? Help!

Thanks for your time.

Updating Remote Table With OPENDATASOURCE

May 25, 2008

Greetings all

Have another issue with OPENDATASOURCE

The following SQL appears to run successfully:
Update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=******').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY
set STARTDTTM = L.STARTDTTM,ENDDTTM = L.ENDDTTM,CLOSED = L.CLOSED,
CASHEDUP = L.CASHEDUP,CASHINTILL = L.CASHINTILL,CHEQUESINTILL = L.CHEQUESINTILL,
EPSALES = L.EPSALES,EPCUTORETURN = L.EPCUTORETURN,REPFLAG = R.REPFLAG
from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=******;Password=*****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY AS R inner join
TSADMIN.SALESDAY as L on R.SALESDAYID = L.SALESDAYID where L.REPFLAG = 1


However, all records in the remote table get updated if there are any records satisfying the REPFLAG clause, if more than 1 then I guess the last record in the source set.

Running the same SQL against 2 tables in the local DB works perfectly.

These are both MSDE V8.00.2039 SP4 connecting via RAS dial up.

Any ideas where to focus my attention will be gratefully received


Thanks

<EDIT>
Haven't solved the issue, but staggered around it. I have simply reversed the tables in the SQL and executed at the remote server instead, so it is updating a local table while getting data from a remote table. This functions as it should. Any clues to the above would still be good tho' - cheers

Strange Problem With Using OpenDataSource() To Get Data From Excel.

Apr 7, 2005

:(
Hey guys. I got some problem here.

I have an Excel spreadsheet. the data is something like :

COL1 COL2 COL3
DATA1 1 DETAIL1
DATA2 2 DETAIL2
DATA3 3 DETAIL3
DATA4 4 DETAIL4
DATA5 5 DETAIL5
DATA6 6 DETAIL6
DATA7 7 DETAIL7
etc

there are 1877 * 3 cells in total in the spreadsheet.
but when I execute a query like:

select * from OpenDataSource('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source=Test.xls;User ID=Admin;Password=;Extended properties=Excel 8.0')...[Sheet1$]

It returns 2132 * 5 units of data!!! And the "F4" and "F5" column just have NULL. so do row 1878 to 2132. I'm confused with that.

I need your help~ 3X in advance. :)
