I need to create a query (SQL 2000) that renders a formatted excel (xml or xls) file for each row that is outputted.
The details, I have a Campaign table that contains information for Auto and Life "Leads" and the data is submitted by telemarketers directly into the database. I need to render a file for each line, and it would be good if It were an Excel XML or XLS file, because that's what we've been using for a while.
I'm running a query with osql, and I'm trying to get some clean output that is comma delimited. So far my line looks like this:osql -E -n -d mydb -i custom.qry -o "c:output
esults.csv" -h-1 -s ","This works off a table with only two columns. I'm still left with a lot of extra spaces between the first column output and second column output, and at the bottom the text "(50 rows affected)".So instead of this:data1a (lots of spaces here) ,data1bdata2a (lots of spaces here) ,data2bdata3a (lots of spaces here) ,data3b(50 rows affected)I want to see this:data1a,data1bdata2a,data2bdata3a,data3bThanks very much for any help. :)
Hi~.
First, is it possible to access(read/write) to the excel,csv or my-own-formatted file using OLE DB(SQL Native Client)?
If possible, how?
I'm a newbie to SQL. I'm using SQL Server 2012 on my local machine and I need to find a way to output my queries as Excel files. I came across these codes for Interactive SQL (what is intercative SQL by the way?) but they don't work in the SQL query window:
SELECT * FROM SalesOrders;
OUTPUT USING 'Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);
DBQ=c: estsales.xls;
READONLY=0' INTO "newSalesData";
It seems the "OUTPUT" command is not a valid command. I really liked that piece of code (may be because it is so simple and carries over very few lines)! Do we have something similar for SQL Server 2012 that can do the job?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOK, another problem but the same member, i am feeling REALLY thick now!
I have a job set up that extracts data from a table and puts to an Excel sheet, this is then emailed to certain recipients.
why is the data appending in the Excel file rather than overwriting? How can i prevent this?
Has anyone had experience formatting an excel file (i.e. run a macro) after it is (created &) outputted from a DTS package?
Also an easier question:
What is the best (easiest) way to create a unique filename in Excel with a datetimestamp in the file name (i.e. MyFile-20040608.xls)
Thanks!
I would like to create a SQL job that runs a basic query monthly and saves the results as a .xls file and emails the results to a user. I've been unsuccessful with sp_send_dbmail in that the output file is always a single column. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Dave
I'm writing an SSIS package to run a series of select statements and save the results of each to a sheet in an Excel file. An indirect configuration file with these entries is used:
Package.Variables[User::ExcelTemplateFilePath].Properties[Value]
Package.Connections[AcculoanDatabase].Properties[ConnectionString]
Package.Connections[ExcelReportFile].Properties[ExcelFilePath]
At the start of the package this setup will happen.
1) copy ExcelTemplateFilePath to ExcelFilePath
2) Set User::ReportFilePath to ExcelFilePath
Creating a script task to do this is not a problem. However the task fails on validation of the tasks that write the select results to the Excel file sheets. I'm thinking the validation fails because the Excel file is not copied before the validation is done.
How can I arrange for the setup script to run and copy the Excel file before validation?
Is there is a better way or am I just doing this wrong?
Thanks
I have set up an export package in SSIS and I would like to assign a file name based on the value in a table on my SQLServer. For example, my file name might be Monthly Reporting Package 20070731.xls where 20070731 is a value in my date table. I can retrieve my date by the following select statement: "SELECT Date FROM DecodeTables.dbo.Date". Can I set up a variable to look up this value and then concatenate it into my file name?

I am using bcp to get the query output in excel file. But I am not able to see the column headings. Is there a way to get the column heading also in the output file.
the command I am using is this.
declare @x varchar(300)
set @x = 'bcp "select * from Northwind..orders" queryout c: est.csv -S local -U sa -P passwd -c -C RAW -t "," -r '
exec master..xp_cmdshell @x

Good morning, all,
I have an Excel workbook that needs to be imported. It has three
sheets, but it's really the first that is giving me fits. Each of the
three worksheets have header info and instructions on the first 8
rows. Worksheet 1 then has, on row 9, the column names for the group
informtion. Row 10 has the group information. Row 11 has detail
column headers. Row 12 and later have detail information. Worksheets
2 and three do not have detail information, just row 9 with the column
names for the group informtion and Row 10 with group information.
Here is how I am thinking of handling this.
Run a script, outside of SSIS to save each sheet as a CSV file to a
folder. I believe that this must be done because some of the first 8
rows are blank and according to the docs, SSIS cannot have blank rows
in imported Excel sheets.
Loop over the files in the folder.
For each file, exclude the first 8 rows.
if the file name is the first worksheet then
get the next two rows and process group info
get the rest of the worksheet and process detail information
if the file name is not the first worksheet then
get the next two rows and process group info
My questions are: Does this seem feasible? Is there an easier way to
do this? Any hints or tricks that might be helpful? Any pitfalls
that I should watch out for?
Thanks so much for any insights,
Kathryn
Using below script to export the select statement result to .xls
declare @sql varchar(8000)
select @sql = 'bcp "select * from Databases..Table" queryout c:bcpTom.xls -c -t, -T -S' + @@servername
exec master..xp_cmdshell @sql
But result is not exporting in seperate tabs, all 4 column details are exporting in single cell.
how to export the data in columns to separate tabs in excel.
I have a query something like this:
select "bcp EISAT_08_18.."+name +" OUT C:"+ name+".TXT -c -t -SCJACOBI"
from sysobjects
where type = 'U'

Hi,
In a stored procedure how do I output the result of a query to a text file?

I have an sp that runs a query in xp_cmdshell/BCP combo that puts the output into an XML file (using for xml auto hint on the end of the query).
I personally feel that I should now (under SQL 2K5) be able to do this within a query, not going any where near xp_cmdshell or bcp, and then use SSIS in the final step to ftp it up to the clients site.
It builds a command string in the sp, then runs that command string via xp_cmdshell.
I guess what I'm asking is, is it possible to run a query within an SP with the output going to an XML file on the server automatically? AND that file to be a well formed XML file?
Any suggestions?

I have come across manual queries being run daily and the results saved to a txt file on the network.
I basically want to set run these up a stored procedure and set up as a scheduled task to run daily.
Does anyone know if you can automatically save the results of a query/stored procedure to a text file on a network??
Many Thanks..
HI,
I have a small problem with SQL server 7.0 where I have to write the output of a query directly to a file without the user going to the menu and clicking on save. Scenario is:
A file is having a query the results of which has to be outputted to a file like in oracle where we have spooling function. Is there any functionality that mimic the oracle functionality where by I can get the output directly to a file?
thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
Does any one know how to send output of a query to a text file from query analyzer?
Thanks.
I am running SQL Server 2000 and need to output query data to a text file. If I run the following query (Below) using XP_CMDSHELL and BCP, it runs fine and creates a text file with the data output.
However, I need to change the WHERE Field1=10 to a string value WHERE Field1='abc'. When I try to do this I get a general error on the Field1='xyz'. I tried to change the quotes, etc but I am still getting the error.
Command:
Exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT Field1 FROM Table WHERE Field1=10" queryout c:filename.txt -U UserName -P Password /S SQLServerNam /c'

Is it possible ?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to query an excel file and I get a mistake. The query is as follows:
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

and I get the following error message:
