OpenRowSet And/or Linked Server Problems

Dec 9, 2007

I am trying to use OpenRowSet to read from a csv file. I run a query like this:

select *
from OpenRowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)}; DefaultDir=C:data;','select * from data.csv')

This works very nicely on my development system. However, when I try to run the same query on my production server, I get the following error message:


OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] System resource exceeded.".

Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".


I also tried with the Jet driver:

select *
from OpenRowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:data;Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited";', 'select * from data.csv')

The error was:

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 have run "sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1" and "RECONFIGURE". I have checked and double checked the file names and assigned full control to everyone for the folder and file.

I tried to create a linked server to the folder, but got the same error messages. I created an odbc system data source to the folder, but had all the same problems using the dsn as well.

The server is SQL 2005 running on Windows 2003. I am current with service packs and MDAC updates.

As far as I can tell, the db configuration of my dev box and productions box are the same. I am not using any linked servers on either machine.

It seems obvious that there is some configuration setting I have missed. Anyone have any ideas for me?

Passing A Variable To A Linked Query (OPENROWSET For Excel Syntax)

May 11, 2007

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 am using Linked Server in SQL Server 2008R2 connecting to a couple of Linked Servers.

I was able to connect Linked Servers, but I cannot point to a specific database in a Linked Server, also, I cannot rename Linked Server's name.

How to point the linked server to a specific database? How to rename the Linked Server?

Import Excel-File (OPENROWSET) On X64 SQL Server

Jan 7, 2008

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

SQL Server 2012 :: Processing Of XML With OPENROWSET Gives Out Of Memory Exception

Jun 20, 2014

I have an XML file about 25MB. When I read it with openrowset it gives me 'System.OutOfMemoryException'. The machine I'm running has 16GB of RAM and memory is definetely not exceeded. When I run smaller XML files it works fine.

I've read that older versions of SQL Server had this problem and it was caused by the parser having limited amount of memory. Is this still the case? Is there a way to change this?

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Do OPENROWSET Query Within Cursor Using Variables

I am writing a custom query to determine if a legacy table exists or not.

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET Does Not Respect ORDER BY Clause On SQL Server 2005 EE

Jul 3, 2007

Hi,
I need to pass data from a SQL Server data base to an Access data base. To do this I use the OPENROWSET as followed:
FR


INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:Aux.mdb'; 'Admin'; '',Test) (Id, Name, TypeId) SELECT Id,Name,TypeId
FROM Test
ORDER BY TypeId


FR

On SQL Server 2000 or MSDE the data is transfered as expected, respecting the specified order. But when I run the same clause on a SQL 2005 EE the data is transfered, but the order is not respected.
So my question is if I have to activate an option for the order to be respected or if this is a bug.

Best regards,
Ângelo Vilela

SQL Server 2012 :: Loading Image From File System Into Query Using Openrowset

May 14, 2014

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.

Recurring Issue - OPENROWSET For Excel Query Stops Working , Cured By Restart Of SQL Server

May 25, 2007

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.

OpenRowSet BUG?

Jul 23, 2005

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

OPENROWSET Error

Mar 25, 2004

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.

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:

OPENROWSET To Excel

Jan 14, 2007

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

Openrowset And Excel

Apr 17, 2007

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

Openrowset Views

Hi I have a table like:

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).
