I need to read a tables in an acess database. The access database has no user/password. All the examples of openrowset show a userid and password. How do I read access table without them?
Should I use opendatasource?
thanks
Does anyone know if OPENDATASOURCE or OPENROWSET can be called via NT authentication, rather than with a SQL Login? If so, what would be the correct syntax to use?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
The following statement fails when using SQL Analyzer under sa but works on all of our development and staging server. All are SQL Server 2005 SP1. We upgraded production over the weekend from SQL Server 2000, creating a new instance machinenameSQL2005.
SELECT *

What is the syntax for using parameters in an opendatasource query? I tried using the below:
SELECT top 10 *

'SQLOLEDB',
'Data Source=10.22.10.78;User ID='+@user+';Password='+@pword
).Northwind.dbo.Categories
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi 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

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
Ok .. Gurus ... here's my problem
I am able to successfully run a opendatasource query against a flat file from SQL Server. However the problem I am facing is that the resultset that is returned has a line as one column and one row ... is there any way i can get the opendatasource query to recognize tabs as column seperators ????

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?

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

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. :)

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

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
. . .
