SQL 2012 :: Excel Spreadsheet Data Connection To Read-only Database

Aug 10, 2015

I've created an excel spreadsheet with a data connection. This data connection uses a query that runs against a read-only database.

The issue I'm having is that the query never seems to finish running against the database, whether I open the Excel spreadsheet to view the data or run the query in SSMS.

I created the connection on the Data ribbon by going to From Other Sources --> From SQL Server and using the Data Connection Wizard.

Is there some kind of setting or property I'm missing that would allow this query to finish running?

SQL Server 2012 :: Converting Large Excel Spreadsheet To Normalized Data

Aug 7, 2014

I have a large excel spreadsheet created by finance user that contains several decades worth of sales data.

Here is a small sample:

Guest Count
Unit ID1/2/2011 1/9/2011
3 0
7 0
8 0
90 0
151696 1202
222769 1914
232704 2110
250 0
282838 1882
331089 691
363581 3064
371469 1062

I need to get this data into an SQL table in the following form so I can use it to further manipulate the data and update several other tables. I am thinking that UNPIVOT or CROSS APPLY might be the way to go, but am not sure how to code it.

The desired output:

Unit IDDate Guest Count
31/2/2011 NULL
71/2/2011 NULL
81/2/2011 NULL
91/2/2011 0
151/2/2011 1696

and so on ......

The spreadsheet has 2900 columns and 3500 rows so performance is definitely a consideration as well.

SQL 2012 :: Using Excel In SSIS To Import Data From Spreadsheet To Staging Table?

Feb 5, 2015

I'm trying to use Excel in SSIS to import the data from spreadsheet to a staging table. The package runs well from the web server using SSMS. But when I deploy and try to execute the package, I'm getting the below error. I've a question, whether I've to install the AccessDatabaseEngine driver in SQL database server or the web server where I'm executing the SSIS?

Error: The requested OLE DB provider Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 is not registered. If the 64-bit driver is not installed, run the package in 32-bit mode.

Import Excel Spreadsheet Data Into SQL Server Database Table Using SqlBulkCopy

Dec 13, 2007

 
Hi, I'm a Student, and since a few months ago I'm learning JAVA. I'm creating an application to call and compare times. For this I create in Excel a time table which is quite big and it would be a lot of typing work to input one by one the data in each cell in SQL Server, considering that I have to create 8 more tables. I was able to retreive the data from excel usin the JXL API of JAVA but it doesn't give all the funtions to perform math operations as JDBC. That's why I need to move the tables from Excel to SQL.
I found this site http://davidhayden.com/blog/dave/archive/2006/05/31/2976.aspx which gives a code to do so, but I guess that some heathers are missing or maybe I don't know which compiler to use to run that code, I would like you help to identify which compiler use to run that code or if there is some vital piece of code missing.// Connection String to Excel Workbook
string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft .Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;""";

// Create Connection to Excel Workbook
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString))
{
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand ("Select ID,Data FROM [Data$]", connection);

connection.Open();

// Create DbDataReader to Data Worksheet
using (DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader())
{
// SQL Server Connection String
string sqlConnectionString = "Data Source=.; Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True";

// Bulk Copy to SQL Server
using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString))
{
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "ExcelData";
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr);
}
}
}
On the other hand in this forum I that someelse use that link but implements a totally different code which I'm not able to compile also http://forums.asp.net/p/1110412/2057095.aspx#2057095. It seems this code works as I was able to read, but I do not know which language is used.
Dim excelConnectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft .Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;"""
 
' Using
 
Dim connection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString)
 
Try
 
Dim command As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("Select ID,Data FROM [Data$]", connection)
connection.Open()
 
' Using
 
Dim dr As DbDataReader = command.ExecuteReader
 
Try
 
Dim sqlConnectionString As String = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("CampaignEnterpriseConnectionString").ConnectionString
 
' Using
 
Dim bulkCopy As SqlBulkCopy = New SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString)

bulkCopy.DestinationTableName =

bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr)
 
Finally
 
CType(bulkCopy, IDisposable).Dispose()
 
End Try
 
Finally
 
CType(dr, IDisposable).Dispose()
 
End Try
 
Finally
 
CType(connection, IDisposable).Dispose()
 
End Try
 
Catch ex As Exception
 
End Try
The Compilers I have are: Eclipse, Netbeans, MS Visual C++ Express Edition and MS Visual C# Express Edition. In MS Visual C++
Thanks for your help.

SQL 2012 :: OPENROWSET To Read In Data From Excel 2010 File (XLSX)

Jun 12, 2015

I have a test server (TEST1) running SQL 2012 and Windows 2012R2. One of the developers wants to use OPENROWSET to read in data from an Excel 2010 file (an xlsx file).

I have loaded the Microsoft Drivers in "AccessDatabaseEngine_64.exe" and enabled the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries option in SQL.

This is the sample code we are working with:

SELECT
X.MEMBID
FROM OPENROWSET(
'MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=etworkserverFolder1Folder2MEMBIDs.xlsx',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'
) AS X

I can run the sample query from my laptop with SSMS (I have admin rights) and I can also run it as SA from my laptop. So all is good, right?

But if I RDC into TEST1, I cannot run the query. I get this error:

OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".But wait! It gets better.

I can run the query as SA from TEST1.

And of course, the developer can't run it either.

And it works fine in the production server.

I'm thinking the basics are there but something isn't right in some permission somewhere.

Import Excel Spreadsheet To Sql Database

Mar 26, 2008

Hi there,
 
              I am able to import an excel spreadsheet into a table in sql server 2005 using SqlBulkCopy. The only thing that bothers me here is how to check duplicate entries and throw an error to the user regarding the duplicate entries. In the table in sql, there is no primary keys. There are five columns and the way I will have to find the duplicates is to match all those 5 columns. Since the excel spreadsheet can have 40 to 500 entries, how can I check those dupes.

Way To Import Data From CSV Or Excel Spreadsheet

Nov 4, 2013

I am looking for a way to import data from a CSV or Excel spread sheet and add the data directly into an Extended field instead of a regular field in the table. for example: let's say I have a comma delimited field with the following info:

NDC_M_FORMULARY,CUSTOM_EXTSIG,Custom EXT SIG
NDC_M_FORMULARY,DRUG_CODE,Alternate key, user defined
NDC_M_FORMULARY,CHARGE_CODE,From the Charge code table

The first column is the table name
Second Column is the Column name in the table
The third column contains the description that I would like to store in the Value in the Extended Property Name "MS_Description"

BTW,I did find the following T-SQL which returns the Extended description for a specific Extended Property

Here it is:

SELECT
[Table Name] = i_s.TABLE_NAME,
[Column Name] = i_s.COLUMN_NAME,
[Description] = s.value
FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS i_s
LEFT OUTER JOIN

[code]...

Import Data From Excel Spreadsheet Into A Table

Jul 17, 2013

I am using the import wizard in SQL Server 2008 R to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into a table I have created.

The spreadsheet contains 3 columns that SQL recognises as DOUBLE and they contain a 1 or 0. What data type do the corresponding fields in SQL table need to be? I have tried BIT, INT and FLOAT but keep getting an error (can't view details of the error because I get chucked out every time the error pops up). I know the problem is with the DOUBLE data because when I 'ignore' those columns the import works fine.

Import Data To SQL Server From Excel Spreadsheet

Aug 22, 2006

Hi all,

Firstly, i'm new to integration services and have only done a little with DTS jobs.

I'm trying to create an integration services project which will import data from an two worksheets in an Excel spreadsheet to two different tables in a database. I'm looking at only one table at present to make things a little more understandable.

One stipulation i have is that i need to be able to specify a variable value and insert that as an additional column in the database. I have and Excel source and a SQL destination both of which have been set up with there specific connection managers. I also have a variable which i add in using the derived column task.

When i try to debug this i am getting a few problems. I think these may be to do with the fact that although the worksheet in Excel has 20 rows (1st column shows these numbers) i only want those rows with data in them. If i preview the excel table it shows all the rows including those with null columns. Is there some sort of way that i can only get the rows that have data in the columns after the row number. I.e. can i select rows that do not have a second column value = to NULL.

I hope this makes sense and that someone can help me out with this problem.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Grant


P.S.

Apologies. I have this resolved now. I didn't see the option to use a SQL command as apposed to a table or view when setting up the Excel source.

I am still however getting the following errors which i'd appreciate some help on:

Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task, Excel Source [1]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.

Using SSIS To Perform A Data Import Of An Excel Spreadsheet

Oct 15, 2007

I am new to SSIS. 
I am interested in using SSIS to import an excel spreadsheet into a SQL server database. My biggest concern is how to handle/manage errors that might occur when the import process occurs. Can anyone give me any guidance on this?
 I could write some C# code to do the import and to create a custom .txt file listing errors that occur on import. Using C# code to do the import seems like I would just be reinvinting the wheel so to speak.

How Can I Create A DTS Package To Update A Table With Data From An Excel Spreadsheet?

Jul 9, 2006

Every month a client sends a spreadsheet with data which we use to update matching rows in a table in the database. I want to automate this using a DTS package but am having quite a bit of trouble accomplishing what I think should be trivial task. I've been attempting to use a Transform Data Task with a modification lookup but I just keep inserting the rows from the source excel spreadsheet in to the existing destination table without ever modifying the existing data.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as to a best practice approach.

SSIS Error When Attempting To Import An Excel Spreadsheet Into A Database Table

Aug 28, 2006

I am attempting to run an SSIS package that, among other things, imports a spreadsheet from excel into a database table. The package runs without any issues within Visual Studio. I have tried executing the package through both, the MSDB run package and through dtexec (trying to kick of the package through a stored procedure) and I get 2 different behaviors.

Using dtexec (the method I really need to use): The package will run successfully...up to the point when the spreadsheet is imported at which time it fails with Description: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. Here is the code:

exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /sq PopulateTRTLStationandtRTLUnitMapping /ser SERVERNAME

Running it through the MSDB Run Package UI...It will also make it up to the point where the Excel spreadsheet is imported but errors with: The Product level is insufficient for the component "Lookup Station and Account Type: (1894) ...and 1 line with that same error for every single task in that dataflow. Here is the code it runs.

/DTS "MSDBPopulateTRTLStationandtRTLUnitMapping" /SERVER "SERVERNAME" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING V

The machine is running 32 bit OS Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Db SQL Server 2005 32 bit. I found one forum posting that suggested turning the Delay Validation property to True...but that did not fix the issue. I did create the package with my username with a ProtectionLevel of EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey. I don't think it is related to the account however because all of the tasks (serveral work tables are created) up to the Excel import will execute.

I really need to get this working as soon as possible so am open to any solutions someone can present.

SQL Server 2012 :: Including Spreadsheet Data Into Exclusion Criteria?

Sep 18, 2015

I am trying to import data from 4 columns in a spreadsheet, the Columns are (Last Name - First Name - ID - Code) and this spreadsheet has around 10k records. I want to add what is in this spreadsheet to the query I have below that uses the EXCEPT operator but I am not sure the best way to go about it.

Using the example I have filtered below for the name "Denise Test", at the end of the day I want everything that is in the spreadsheet to also be excluded from the results.

So before the spreadsheet lets say the 2nd query referencing table C has the following results for Denise Test

Last_Name First_Name ID Code
Test Denise 1 5
Test Denise 2 4

After adding the spreadsheet I want it to show this:

Last_Name First_Name ID Code
Test Denise 1 5
Test Denise 2 4
Test Denise 3 3

Here is the query as it stands now without the inclusion of the spreadsheet:

SELECT
ta.last_name,
ta.first_name,
tb.ID,
tb.code
FROM
TableA ta
INNER JOIN TableB tb

[code]....

DTS Transfer Into A Excel Spreadsheet

Dec 28, 2000

I need to take my 'table stats'every week and put them into an excel spreadsheet so that I can track the changes of my table sizes over time (basically I am watching to see how many rows are in each table). What I was planning on doing was to create a view of my table stats that I could then use DTS to transfer on a weekly basis into my excel spreadsheet. I have only used DTS a couple of times, and I have not ever tried it with excel. Now the problem: Everytime my DTS job runs it appends the data to the end of the origional columns that were created. Since my database has over 5000 tables these columns grow quite quickly. What I would like to do is set it up so that everytime the job runs it puts the new data into new columns in the same worksheet of my excel file. Is this possible? Any suggestions?

DTS From MS SQL To Excel Spreadsheet Issue

Jan 9, 2007

I'm getting an issue on a MS SQL DTS package that is doing a simple export from a MS SQL table to and Excel spreadsheet. I have three of these running but one is failing. I’m using DTSRun to run all three of these DTS packages. The only recent change was to the DTS package to fix the first step to delete the data in the spreadsheet tab named “Results”. The process works correctly in development (on different servers). The same active directory ID is being used on all three DTS packages and all three do the same i.e. export data to an excel spreadsheet in the same file location but with different names. I’ve Google’d this but only came across access issues which does not make since since it is writing the other two spreadsheets just fine. Curious.

Error I See:

Running DTS package with passed variables

DTS Help With Uploading An Excel Spreadsheet

Apr 4, 2007

Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong or need to do to resolve my issue. I having problems with one of the columns in an excel spreadsheet that I am trying to upload into the system. One of the columns contain values of both text and numbers such as 'ABC123', 'ABC124', '123456' etc. When I try uploading the sheet into SQL Server 2000 using DTS, the system removes all characters from the one column that I am having problems with. So entry 'ABC123' for example would be truncated to '123'. I tried formatting the column that I am having trouble with in excel to 'General' format as well as tried to transform the column to type varchar in SQL Server while using the DTS wizard but still had no luck. The problem is that SQL server thinks that the column is a float type column from the source and therefore truncates any characters.

XML Task And Excel Spreadsheet

Feb 21, 2007

Hello,

I have some XML that I'm passing through a variable into the XML task in SSIS. I also have an xsd file that I'm using and I want to validate (I think) that XML and have the XML task output an excel document. I've got the xsd file all set up in the "second operand" part of the XML task and the XML I'm passing in as a variable and that's in the "input" part of the XML task. My question is are there any tricks to make an excel document with these two things? Is there something I need to do in the xsd file to tell it that I want excel? Below is my XML and xsd:

XML:

<person>

<person_id>117</person_id>

<last_name>Von Neumann</last_name>

<first_name>Marina</first_name>

<jobs>

<job>

<job_key>1</job_key>

<from_month>06</from_month>

<from_year>1987</from_year>

<company_id>30358</company_id>

</job>

<job>

DTS To Excel And Full Spreadsheet Error?

Jul 16, 2001

Hey guys,

I'm exporting via dts to an excel spreadsheet. However my database has more than 65000 records. DTS croacks and shoots out that there are too many records in the spreadsheet.

What do I do? Any way to go around that? These are my daily hit logs that are recorded and they tend to get big.

Importing An Excel Spreadsheet Into SQL Server

Aug 9, 2007

Hi,
I'm trying to import an excel file into SQL sever(using an insert statement), i'm creating a DTS package (in enterprise manager) and have VB Script. When i parse it, i get no errors, but when i run the package it says that it ran successfully but nothing happens, it doesnt insert into the table, even though i tested the insert statement. Can anyone help me?? Here's the code:

'************************************************* *********************
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script
'************************************************* ***********************

Function Main()
on error resume next
Set objxl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objxl.Visible = False


Dim xlFile
xlFile = "C:Datafile.xls"
Set objWkb = objxl.Workbooks.Open(xlFile)

'' Connecting to SQL Server
set cn = server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Dim serverName
serverName = "myserver2"


strCS = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=myserver2;Initial
Catalog=mycat; Integrated Security=SSPI"

cn.ConnectionString = strCS
On Error Resume Next
cn.Open
Set objsht = objWkb.Worksheets.Open("Sheet1")
Dim client_name, rb, date_rvd, LOB
Dim sql
Dim row, sequence
row = 2

client_name = Trim(objsht.Cells(row, 2).Value)
Do While IsNull(client_name) = False And client_name <> ""
'client_name = Trim(objsht.Cells(row, 2))
rb = Trim(objsht.Cells(row, 4).value)
date_rvd = Trim(objsht.Cells(row, 6).value)
LOB = "WCS"

sql = "INSERT INTO TEMP_TEST (CLIENT_NAME, RB, DATE_REVIEWED, LOB) VALUES (" & _
" '" & client_name & "' ,'" & rb & "', " & date_rvd & ", '" & LOB & "');"


row = row + 1
MsgBox (sql)
client_name = Trim(objsht.Cells(row, 2).value)
cn.Execute (sql)

Loop

if err.count = 0 then
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
else
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure
end if
End Function
