Reading Data From Excel...
Jul 20, 2005
Hi,
I have a Excel sheet that have a column with mixed data:
column can contain data like "892-234-32A" or like "892298343233432"
I need to get all data column such as "text" to avoid numeric field show as
exponential number.
I'm trying with:
SELECT CAST (CODICE as bigint(25)) FROM
OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel
8.0;IMEX=1;HDR=YES;Database=C: empxadpdist1.xls' , Foglio1$)
But I get error conversion type "from nvarchar to bigint" when query meet
the alphanumeric field.
Any tips ?
Thanks in advance

I have an Excel sheet that is dynamically updated (through DDE) and I want to import this data to a table in SQL Server 2005. Using SQL Server Management Studio to configure an Excel data source as a linked server.
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306397/EN-US/)
Following the first 5 steps should let me acces the table (but I cannot view the data in SQL Server 2005). However, I could not find how to export the data into an existing table. Does anyone know how or can give a pointer to document describing how to do this?

Hi,
I have an Excel spreasheet - the first column is text, the second numbers, the third a mix of the two. If I point An Excel Source at this in my data flow, it will import the first two columns without problem, but not the third: all cells containing text are being imported as nulls, but those containing numbers are imported just fine.
Even if the numbers are stored as text, they are converted into numbers at import and genuine text is still discarded. It's treated as if the entire column is numeric if there's just one numeric value in it.
I can get around this by creating a .csv or .txt file from the excel file, but that will add an extra layer of admin to this process and I'm tryuing to make it as seamless as possible

Hi all,
Whilst reading in records from an excel source via the SQL command method I've stumbled across a problem.
my SQL query takes in all records where the date column is not NULL, this ensures that only populated rows are obtained. If the date is in a format that is incorrect i'd really like the whole data flow to fail. However... What seems to happen is that any rows with a fault in the date column are just missed out and not pulled through the pipeline. I have tried changing the error output from fail component to ignore error and redirect row but nothing seems to catch it.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may be the case?
Many thanks,
Grant

I have an excel file which i am reading through SSIS through MICROSOFT Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider. My problem is that if the Excel file has data in a column as 123.45 which is displayed as 123. SSIS is able to pick 123 only and not 123.45. however if I change the data type to Numeric in the excel, SSIS is able to read data as 123.45.Any solution other than changing data type in Excel?

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know how I can do this? I tried adding the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel reference to the script task but it doesn't allow me to. It only lets me pick from a selection of references that are already there (not allowing me to add new ones)
I do have this reference and have used it in VB and C# app's
If there is any other way to read an excel file please let me know, ill move onto that

I am trying to ETL from excel source to SQL table. When I created the package my excel had certain number of rows. Later if I add (append) few more rows in the spreadsheet ... the ssis package (also in excel source preview) not reading the newly added rows. Suprisingly it is reading new rows if they are inserted in between existing rows.
Any idea why ?

Hi,
I'm reading values from a named range within an Excel spreadsheet using the Excel ODBC driver. If I ask for all columns within a range, using e.g. select * from 'named range', does the driver ensure that the returned rowset has the same column and row ordering as in the spreadsheet? In other words, if a named range on a spreadsheet is the block of cells:
name age
richard 54
jemima 27
I want to make sure that my returned rowset is not going to be:
age name
jemima 27
richard 54
I know that proper databases do not guarantee the order of returned values (unless you specify it) but since Excel is a fixed view of data I was hoping that a returned rowset of values would retain their spreadsheet ordering.
Thanks,

Not sure if I am posting this in the correct placed. Here is what I am trying to do. Read an xml files which is very large and is our store xml file. I want to import this data into a database nightly. I can down load the file and I have noticed that it has one line in it that will keep me from reading it: <!DOCTYPE StoreExport SYSTEM "http://..../doc/dtd/StoreExport.dtd"> Once I removed this line I can get the data needed to go into the database. I would removed the old table first then replace it with the information from here.
Can anyone help. I hope I have given enough information for this type of issue. I was told integration services would do this, but I am not sure how. Could someone point me in the right direction.
Thank you for any an all help.

I have a trigger written in C# which I have added to the insert event on a table, however, when testing it generates a "System.Data.SQLClient.SqlException; Cannot use text, ntext, or image columns in the 'inserted' and 'deleted' tables"
My code is attempting to read all the column names & the data contained in them as the record is created, so a solution that allows me to read all the data from each column is what I am after.
Code Extract:
public static void splTrigger()
{
SqlTriggerContext triggContext = SqlContext.TriggerContext;
// string userName, realName;
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("context connection = true");
connection.Open();
SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
SqlDataReader reader;
string data = "";
switch (triggContext.TriggerAction)
{
case TriggerAction.Insert:
command.CommandText = "SELECT * from " + "inserted";
reader = command.ExecuteReader();
//userName = (string)reader[0];
//realName = (string)reader[1];
// prepare data as name value pairs
for (int i = 0; i < reader.FieldCount; i++)
{
data = data + reader.GetName(i) + ":" + (string)reader[ i ] + " ";
}
break;
...
}}

Hi,
My first post.
Problem:
I have 2 tables EmployeeA(Eng) and EmployeeB(Spanish) kept in seperate mdb's. I want to add the records into Sql Server 2005 table called StateEmployee.
Procedure:
1. Loop through 2 folders..one containing table EmployeeA in mdb and other containing tbl EmployeeB in diff mdb's.
2. Pick a file from EmployeeA and EmployeeB, both at the same time.
3. Count the total no of rows in both files. If equal proceed.
4. Compare the 'employeeid' of one row of employeeA to the employeeid of EmployeeB.
5. If employee id matches, load both the rows in Sql server else file it to the error table.
6. Loop through all rows simultaneously till end of row.
7. Go to next mdb.
How do i go about this step by step. I am fairly new to SSIS. I asked my other friends too but they have complex answers which i couldnt follow. Hope someone gives an 'easy to understand' solution with sample.
thanks.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for some help, as i am pulling my hair out looking for information.
I have been using asp for many years and am now starting to learn .net. so far so good....
I am now wanted to connect to a database, execute a simple select statement and then read/write the information out. I can't help but think in old asp code and i am having a hard time finding what i need to perfom this simple task.
I have used the grid controls etc, and these are very good - however, i need to connect to a database in the code-behind file and perfom various functions in the background.
If any of you could be so kind as to perhaps show me some demo code i would be grateful.
I would like to do:
A) Connect to a database (sql server 2000)B) Execute a simple SQL select statementC) Read the returned informationD) put this information into variables used elsewhereE) how do you check if no records are returned? such as the .EOF in asp?
Many thanks
Darren

I have a database that contains news items. There's a column that contains the actual article. In that field, there are paragraphs with page breaks. The page breaks in the database are represented as squares (unrecognizable characters I guess). When I try to read in the data, it doesn't recognize the page breaks, and it comes out all in one large paragraph. Is there any way to get around this?

Hi,
I have a data structure called 'Quote' which contains a number of different variables and controls ranging from text boxes, check boxes and radio buttons, i need to be able to read and write this from a database.
First I think a description of my overall project is needed:
Project Description
I have been given a brief that basically says: i have to create a programmed solution in VB to solve a problem. This problem can be anything we like, and I personally have chosen to create a program that manages quotes for building Log Cabins (this is very contrived and far from anything someone would do in the real world).
My solution will allow a generic user to create a quote (using a form with controls such as text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons) , and then save this to file. These users may then wish to load/edit this quote at a later date, from another form.
Whilst completing this project, i'll only have up to about 5 records (quotes) within the system, so i dont need the ability to store hundreds of records. And each record will be relatively short, with only about 10-15 data items within the data structure.
Also the Admin (or business owner in this case) need to be able to view all saved quotes in a presentable format, and edit them if needs be, from within this same program.
This solution does not need to be absolutely perfect and 100% efficiently coded, or have all the bells and whistles a real-world program would have. This is for an A level computing project by the way.
So basically, i need to be able to read from the database (to populate a Data Grid (i imagine this is best way?)) and so Admin can access any quote and edit it (editing is not vital, but viewing/printing is. Maybe i should stop at just viewing any quote?). Also i need generic users to be able to fill in the Edit Quote form and then save this data into the database.
And is a data structure really required for me to use a database?
I've never used databases in VB before (but have used them elsewhere, mainly Access) and so am completely new to this. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
