Retrieving Data From Excel Linked Server
May 16, 2007
I'm trying to set up a linked server as in the article
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/10894_3085211_3
I use the following SQL to set up a linked server with Excel and attempt to retrieve data. The c: empauthors.xls is downloaded from the second page of the article above.
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'EXCEL',
'Excel',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'c: empauthors.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 8.0',
NULL
GO
SELECT * FROM EXCEL...Sheet1$
GO
The query sets up the linked server OK, and retrieves the field names, but no data is returned. The results in Management Studio are a list of column names:
au_id au_lname au_fname phone address city state zip
contract
then an error:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "EXCEL" returned message "Unknown".
Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
An error occurred while preparing the query "SELECT `Tbl1002`.`au_id` AS `Col1004`,`Tbl1002`.`au_lname` AS `Col1005`,`Tbl1002`.`au_fname` AS `Col1006`,`Tbl1002`.`phone` AS `Col1007`,`Tbl1002`.`address` AS `Col1008`,`Tbl1002`.`city` AS `Col1009`,`Tbl1002`.`state` AS `Col1010`,`Tbl1002`.`zip` AS `Col1011`,`Tbl1002`.`contract` AS `Col1012` FROM `Sheet1$` `Tbl1002`" for execution against OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "EXCEL".
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I'm using Windows Authentication to connect to a SQL server (9.0.3054) instance on localhost, and am running from a test database query window.
Thanks!

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?

I had SQLDMO at reference library.
Private Sub test()
Dim s As SQLDMO.SQLServer
Dim ls As SQLDMO.LinkedServer
Set s = New SQLDMO.SQLServer
s.Connect "Server1", "ID", "Password"
Set ls = New SQLDMO.LinkedServer
With ls
.Name = "Server2"
.ProviderName = "SQLOLEDB"
.DataSource = "Server2"
' .ProviderString = ""
End With
s.LinkedServers.Add ls
s.Close
'End Sub
I block ProviderString as i don't know what is it.
I got an error message when it's running the line "s.LinkedServers.Add ls" that
"Run-time error '-2147206257 (80043b8f)':
Automation error"
My question:
1. What is providerstring? what should be put here?
2. How to fix the error

I am trying to link an excel file as a linked server. I tried two methods unsuccessfully.
first: using
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'Ex',
'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'c:list5.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 5.0'
GO
When I run
EXEC sp_tables_ex Ex, I get the error below.
Server: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 20
Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.]
Second: I link the excel file using ODBC datasource:
EXEC sp_tables_ex mylink, works fine with mylink being the linked server name. I get the table names eg. table1$, table2$.... However when I try to query the tables, I get this error:
Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'.

We have been having problems getting a linked server to an excel file
working with an UNC path. If the UNC path is to the SQL server itself
it will work but not if the UNC path is to another server.
The SQL server 2000 SP 4 processes are running under a domain id and we
can logon interactively with that same login id and we can access the
excel file via the same UNC path.
We have tried it with setting up a linked server and also linking to it
'on the fly':
SELECT *
FROM OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source="\AnotherServerUNCpathexcel.xls";User
ID=Admin;Password=;Extended properties=Excel 5.0')...sheet1$
go
The message we are getting is the following:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. The
provider did not give any information about the error.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'
IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not
give any information about the error.].
It appears from reading Microsoft's documentation and other topics that
this should be possible. Any ideas on what we are missing?

I am trying to set up a linked server in SQL Server 2005 to link to an excel spreadsheet.
-I am selecting Jet 4.0 as the provider
-Product name is Excel
-Data Source is the path on our network to the excel file: N:Devon 5403 4.0 Engineering4.01 ProcessLinelistIFCLDT Field.xls
-Provider String is Excel 8.0
-Security | Login not defined is set to Be made using the login's current security context.
The Excel file is an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. The worksheet is titled Pages
I have a query window open in SQL Server Management Studio and the following is my select statement:
SELECT * FROM DEVON_LINE_LIST...Pages$
I get the following error message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "DEVON_LINE_LIST" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "DEVON_LINE_LIST" reported an error. Authentication failed.
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 "DEVON_LINE_LIST".
I get similar error messages no matter which security settings I pick.
Any thought as to what I can try to get this to work?

Hello,
I have attempted to set up a linked server to an Excel 2003 workbook, and I get an OLEDB error when I attempt to query against it. Some notes about the workbook;
-It has one worksheet in it named 'Add Revenue Accts'.
-The name of the workbook is 'Revenue_to_All_Accounts.xls'
-Its location is \cdnbwfin1dataCDunnComdataReportsReba_HolmesRevenue_All_Accounts
I have the linked server configured as follows;
-Linked Server; REVENUE_TO_ALL_ACCOUNTS
-Provider; Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
-Data Source; \cdnbwfin1dataCDunnComdataReportsReba_HolmesRevenue_All_AccountsRevenue_to_All_Accounts.xls
-Provider String; Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\Cdnbwfin1DataCDunnComdataReportsReba_HolmesRevenue_All_AccountsRevenue_to_All_Accounts.xls;Persist Security Info=False
When I attempt the following query;
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(REVENUE_TO_ALL_ACCOUNTS, 'SELECT * FROM [Add Revenue Accts$]')
The following message appears, and no results are returned;
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Unspecified error]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 20
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
I have Googled this error, but I have not found anything that really points to what the problem might be. What could be the problem?
Thank you for your help!

Hello all-
I configured an Excel document as a Linked Server importing into SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005. I run a query like this to set up the desired database:
Use Num1DBase
GO
SELECT * INTO Num1Table FROM LINKSERV1...[Sheet1$]
However, my production Excel document has many, many sheets with spaces in the title [Sheet 2$] that results in this error:
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "LINKSERV1" does not contain the table "Sheet 2$". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
All I can think of right now is manually going in and removing the spaces from the worksheet names so the query works. Is there a more programmatic way for me to deal with this?
Thanks, MHY

Is there a way to create a SQL 2005 x64 Linked server to an Excel (or Access) 2003/2007 file? In SQL 2005 32bit this was possible. Does anyone know of a solution or a work around?

What: I am trying to import data from spreadsheets to SQL Server.
Where: Windows Vista, SQL Server 2005 Express, Office 2007.
How: Using linked servers following KB306397.
In SQL Management Studio Express, I created a new Linked Server as follows, with everything else at default:
Linked server: XLSX
Provider: Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider
Product name: XLSX
Data source: D:XLSX.xlsx
Provider string: Excel 12.0
The linked server was created ok.
I then followed KB321686 and ran this:
select * from OPENQUERY(XLSX, 'Select * From [Sheet1$]')
and got this:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX".
But if I ran: select * from OPENQUERY(XLSX, 'Select * From [nonexistent$]')
the error is:
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot process the object "Select * From [nonexistent$]". The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object.
It seems that there is an access rights problem if I get the sheet name correct. May I know what I must do to get this to work. I have already given read/write rights to the spreadsheet to NETWORK SERVICE and SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$servername$SQLEXPRESS.
From the same KB article, I also tried:
select * from XLSX...[Sheet1$]
but got this:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "XLSX".
Help help.
Thanks.

I was using linked servers to import Excel spreadsheets into SQL Server Express 2005. This worked fine with Windows XP and Office 2003.
I have just migrated all my stuff to Vista and Office 2007. Linked servers just can't be created:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express

"The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?"

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "XXX".
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "XXX" returned message "Unspecified error". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.3042&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=7303&LinkId=20476
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
&Yes
&No
------------------------------
The parameter values I used are:
Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
Product name: Excel
Data source: D:...somelocalfile.xls
Provider string: Excel 8.0
I gave full access rights to the Data source file and folder to NETWORK SERVICE and SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$MOZART$SQLEXPRESS where mozart is my PC name.
If I change Data source or Provider string to some garbage string, the exact same error message appears. So it appears the error might be in the Provider?
Help help please.

I have a 3rd party dashboard application that I can only use SQL authenticated logins to connect to the database.
I'm trying to create a query within the application that will directly access an excel file through a linked server.
As a test, I login to SSMS as the sql auth user to run the linked server query below but the following error is returned:
select *
from Corporate...[Sheet1$]OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "Corporate".
When I login as a Windows auth user, I can successfully run the above query.
I noticed within the linked server's security definition that I cannot specify a windows auth user as the mapped Remote User or as the Remote login
I've tried creating a Credential object with the identity of the windows user and assign that object to the sql auth user but to no avail. I still get the same error
I am using SQL Server express so the option of an automated server agent job to import the excel file is not available.
Details:
SQL Server Express 2012
Office version: Excel 10
Provider: Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0

In our Microsoft Dynamics Nav instance we have a Sales Header Archive table - into which copies of the Sales Header are placed, with 3 items forming the compound key:
Document Number
Version
Occurrence number
so if doc 1 is archived, then the records would be
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
When a second copy is archived a new record is added:
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
1 | 1 | 2
and then when maybe a 3rd version is archived a 3rd entry added
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
1 | 1 | 2
1 | 2 | 2
This is for EACH document and I now need to retrieve the dataset which is the latest version of each document... but I'm drawing a blank!
If I
select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#]
then I get the distinct list of docs, but I now need to use this list to select the records which match this criteria, from this table.
How do I select just these?
I thought (wrongly) that I could simply say:
Select * from Invoice Table where
Invoice.[Doc#], Invoice.[V], Invoice.[Occurrence #] in
(select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#])

I am working on a project to write SSIS packages to update a SQL Server 2005 database with data from an Oracle 10g database. Unfortunately, our development ETL box is running 32 bit Windows Server 2003 while the production ETL box is running 64 bit Itanium Windows Server 2003. We have created SQL Server Agent jobs to execute all of our packages. All of our jobs run without error on the 32 bit development box, but in our preproduction tests they are failing in the 64 bit box.
In my testing, I've found that I can successfully pull character data from Oracle. For example, I can write a package that retrieves the data for the following query:
SELECT 'test' FROM dual
However, the following fails:
SELECT 1 FROM dual
I have logging turned on in my package. When the package fails, I typically see informational messages in the log up to the point of failure, but no actual error event logs are generated. The only error information I have is in the SQL Server Agent job history log, which contains the following:
Executed as user: SERVERNAMESYSTEM. The return value was unknown. The process exit code was
-2147483646. The step failed.
I have also tried using the 64 bit version of the DTS Wizard to create a sample package, and observe the same behavior. When I run the DTS Wizard, queries that return numeric data cause DTSWizard.exe to exit and produce the following message in the application event log:
Event
Type: Error

0x00000000001e4910.Has anyone else experienced similar behavior, and know of a solution aside of wrapping all retrieval of numeric data in to_chars in our Oracle queries?

I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:
sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel
as
select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
Thanks,

TableSet.Load(CollectingDataSelected, LoadOption.OverwriteChanges);int IndexingValues = 0;foreach (DataRow DataCollectedRow in TableSet.Rows)
{if (IndexingValues == 0)
{SQLCONDITION = "where (Project_ID = '" + DataCollectedRow["AGENCY_ID"].ToString().Trim() + "'";

{
Dataviewlisting.ActiveViewIndex += 1;
}
else
{
Dataviewlisting.ActiveViewIndex = 0;
}
SelectedAgency = SQLCONDITION;
ValueSelected.CONDITION = SelectedAgency;
???? this is where i use to get count where in other buttons and are displayed.... but i changed the query to display only the Payment_Amount_Budgeted respective to the agency selected. from the viewRUN_SQLCONDITION = "SELECT Payment_Amount_Budgeted FROM dbo.V_Payment_Amount_List " + SQLCONDITION;
try
{
CollectionCount = ConnectionFinanceDB.CollectedFinaceDataCount(RUN_SQLCONDITION);
EnrollAmtBTM.Text = CollectionCount.ToString();
}
catch
{
}////this is my CollectedFinaceDataCount-- where fuction counts the records in the above select statement if i use for eg.
"SELECT Count(Placement_Retention_ID) FROM dbo.V_Retention_6_Month_Finance_Payment_List"
here is the functionpublic int CollectedFinaceDataCount(String SQLStatement)
{int DataCollection;
DataCollection = 0;
try
{
SQLCommandExe = FinanceConnection.CreateCommand();
SQLCommandExe.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
SQLCommandExe.CommandText = SQLStatement;
ConnectToDatabase();DataCollection = (int) SQLCommandExe.ExecuteScalar();
DisconnectToDatabase();
}catch (Exception ex)
{Console.WriteLine("Exception Occurred :{0},{1}",
ex.Message, ex.StackTrace.ToString());
}
return DataCollection;
}
So here mu requirement request is to display only the value fronm the view i have against the agency selected

Hi all hope some one can help - please bear with me new to this
Basically I have had to change pc's so I copied and pasted my ASPNET.MDF and LDF from my old pc to new PC including webpages/apps etc.. created.
However now all I get is "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path """"
Just don't understand what permissions the db should have, does it need to match the SQL Express owner...
any help would be most appreciated
Thanks
Chris

I installed my asp.net 2.0 web application and sql express june editon on my windows 2003 server.When the application tries to reach the database i am getting the following error"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed."I can understand that it has something to do with user right but more than that I am pretty lost. Can anyone translate this error for me and give me some tips on what do to.I checked first the user running the sql express service and saw it was the NETWORK SERVICE user. I changed it to be the local system account but that did not make any difference. The application is running just fine on my local computer(Win XP sp2). This one has SQL express April edition though.

My vendor requires data to be sent in Excel format. Some of my tables have rows over 65,536 so I need to use Excel 2007 (Max of 1,048,576). Right now my data sits in SQL 2000. I am using MS SQL Enterprise Manager 8.0 to prepare the data. Is there some kind of add on or selection I am missing to use DTS to export from SQL to Excel 2007?Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I want to export data from SQL Server2005 to an Excel spreadsheet thru "Data Flow Task". I am using OLE DB for SQL Server for the source connection and a Connection To Excel as my destination source. The Excel spreadsheet (2003) exists and has the first row with column names. I don't have any warnings before trying to execute.
The SQL datable fileds are
i) ID - Int
ii) RefID
iii) txtRemarks - nvarchar(MAX)
iv) ddlWaterLevel - nvarchar(50)
While executing the tasks, I got the error
Error: 0xC0202025 at Data Flow Task, Excel Destination [427]: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
Error: 0xC004701A at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: component "Excel Destination" (427) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
After analysing I found in the DataFlow --> Excel destination --> Advanced Editor for Excel Destination, the default data type for txtRemarks shows as "Unicode string [DT_WSTR]". But this is supposed to be "Unicode text stream [DT_NTEXT]". Even if I change the data type in the design time, It doesn't accept.
Please do help me out.
thanks
Sanra

Hi,
I created a linked server to an excel sheet from SQL Server 2005. When i am trying to access the data, where the data in the cell is 18,3 it is showing it as nulls. Why is that? Moreover if data is stored as integer it is showing as null.
Please help me out.
Regards,

I have an ODBC DSN that lets me see the data via Access, however, in EM I set up the DB2 server as a linked server using the OLEDB provider for ODBC, with a Linked server name of DB2DB, a product name of MY DB2 connection and the data source of db2 (which is the DSN name)
The Provider string, Location and Catalog I leave blank
Under security, I assign all users to be a valid username/password
I can then see the tables in EM, but when I try to query them in QA I get this
Select * from db2db...customer
Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1 Line 1
Invalid Schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'
I am using SS7.0, and DB2 connect V7.1
I do not have/use SNA server
My actual requirement is to have a job autmatically run every day to copy certain records onto the SQL Server, but the first step is to be able to query the DB2 data
any ideas ? I think I need to enter something in the catalog box, but what ?
thanks in advance.

I am trying to run a select statements against linked server.
I have NT server running SQL7 Enterprice and Rumba2000. I used Rumba driver to configure a DSN (ODBC based) to a AS400/DB2. Then I created a linked server. Good news are : I can see a list of tables.
Bad news : when I am trying to run a select statement either through stored procedures or directly in SQL analyzer I am receiving error message Object 'linkedservername.databasename.tablename' doesn't exist.
What am I missing here?
