I want to send data to a excel spreadsheet from SQL server 7.
I know that I can create a odbc dsn which points to a table or a view on SQL Server. That works well.
Is there any way to point to a stored procedure.
I want to pull data to a spreadsheet based on a stored procedure.
Any suggestions ?, Is it possible ?
Is there a way of running an OS command via xp_cmdshell and sending the results to a spreadsheet within a DTS package ?.

I am just wondering if anyone has a code to send query results to a spreadsheet package eg. MS Excel.
i) Automatically send the query result(s) to the package
ii) open the spreadsheet package;
Thanks.
Hi all
When using a subscription to send mail, I find that the report can be sent in any format apart from Excel, which gives me the error: "Failure sending mail: Unspecified error". As you can imagine, this doesn't give me much to go on!
I want to use Excel format as it retains the drilldown functionality (hiding / unhiding rows). The ExecutionLog has the status as rsSuccess, but Subscription tab for the report shows the error.
Any thoughts would be most welcome!
I've created a "data warehouse" for the Access users in my area. I take
data from SQL Server, and write it to a network access DB using DTS.
I don't want to link to the tables, I really need to put the data in an access
format. The problem I'm having is that I'm appending the data and not overwriting it. Is it possible to truncate those table before importing?
Do I have to use ActiveX Script to accomplish this?
Thanks

View 14 Replies View RelatedI need to send data from a MS SQL 2000 DB in one location down to a Oracle DB (Solaris) in another location. I was wondering how(if at all possible) how to do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a database on the live server which powers a website. Then our client has a copy of the database at their office. Their is Merge replication set up between the two running every half a hour.
Now they want to be able to look at the merge replication history.
With my little knowledge, I believe that the place to get this data from is the distribution database on the publishing machine which is the live server. Now for obvious reasons we cannot replicate the
distrubution database to their side so we need to come up with some way of giving them the data. They also want a history of replication.
So the way I was thinking of fixing it was to have a job that copies some of the last days data from the distrubution database onto the main database and add that table to the replication so they got it every day. Also writing a ASP page so they can look at the last days
data straight from the distrubution database.
Here are my questions:
Question 1:
How long does the replication store history for?
Question 2:
Is thier any simpler way of allowing them to see the replication history?
Question 3:
Are their any other things I should be worried about?
Thanks for any feedback, Nixies
Hi
Background: I am a post-graduate student developing a model of the way HIV/AIDS spreads in communities. The data sets I am using are large (eg census data - 50m records) and the manipulation is complex (eg deciding which individuals will begin a sexual partnership, and with whom).
Problem: I need to process a table of data in code written in C# that will insert the results which are also a table of data into a table in the database.
In the example set up below, a table with rows comprising an Integer and a Real is the input. The output is a table where each row also comprises an Integer and a Real. Each row of input, say (Inti, Reali) leads to Inti rows of output. The example below gives a simple example of this.
The T-SQL code below sets up the problem, and includes simplest possible T-SQL that would lead to the requisite Output, so that you could compare your solution's code's with it:
-- Set up tables to use in example
CREATE TABLE InputTable
(
Int1 INT NOT NULL,
Real1 REAL NOT NULL
)
GO
CREATE TABLE OutputTable
(
Int1 INT NOT NULL,
Real1 REAL NOT NULL
)
GO
--Initialise the Input Table
INSERT INTO InputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (3, 0.5)
INSERT INTO InputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (5, 0.99)
--Manually put Data into Output table
--I do know how to code this in T-SQL using cursors and loops
--I wish to code this part in CLR
INSERT INTO OutputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (1, 0.5)
INSERT INTO OutputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (2, 0.5)
INSERT INTO OutputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (3, 0.5)
INSERT INTO OutputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (1, 0.99)
INSERT INTO OutputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (2, 0.99)
INSERT INTO OutputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (3, 0.99)
INSERT INTO OutputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (4, 0.99)
INSERT INTO OutputTable (Int1, Real1) VALUES (5, 0.99)
--This should show the output
SELECT * FROM InputTable
SELECT * FROM OutputTable
--The output should be
Int1Real1
3 0.5
5 0.99
Int1Real1
1 0.5
2 0.5
3 0.5
1 0.99
2 0.99
3 0.99
4 0.99
5 0.99
Additional Information: I would be grateful if your solution could indicate
* whether the code to be written is a class, stored procedure or user-defined function
* the answer could be included in entirity begining with "using system..."
* example T-SQL that can be used to execute the code
Current knowledge:I can write T-Sql. I have written C# user defined functions and stored procedures, assembled them and run them from within SQL-Server 2005.
Thanks in advance.

First, yes I know that DB Library is depreciated. Unfortunately it isn't an option for us to make a huge change like that right now.
Now, on to the problem. We have a few different C applications that access SQL Server via db-lib. On SQL 6.5, and SQL2000 we had no issues to speak of. Since upgrading to SQL2005 (Enterprise Edition, 32 bit), we have had a horrible time with receiving an error that says "Error msg: Possible network error: Error in sending out-of-band data to SQL Server. General network error.". It appears to happen at somewhat random times during the applications run.
Search for information on "Error msg: Possible network error: Error in sending out-of-band data to SQL Server. General network error." has provided next to nothing, so I turn to you. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt
I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.

Hello,
I have a problem with retreving a excel data through excel source component.
I have source component as Excel Source which will connect to my .xls sheet.
To retrieve the values from the sheet i am using a query as,
"SELECT F14,F3 FROM [Charac Defn & Assgnment$]"
The column F14 is not formatted so that the format of the cell is "General" I have a different type of values in the F14 column such as "PE","PES",15,20,20.00,8888.9999 etc..
While i click on preview button of Excel source it shows only the text values and not the int or decimal values, its returning NULL for those cells. I tried to use convert function, its throwing an error as
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
There was an error displaying the preview.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Undefined function 'Convert' in expression. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
Is there any other function to change the format of the cell or i need to some thing else

I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.

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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi 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.

Hello,
i want to import data from an excel sheet into a database. While reading from the excel sheet OleDb automatically guesses the Datatype of each column. My Problem is the first A Column which contains ~240 Lines. 210 Lines are Numbers, the latter 30 do contain strings. When i use this code:
Code BlockDim sConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & conf_path_current & file_to_import & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO"""
Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConn)
Dim cmd1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * From [Table$]", oConn)
Dim rdr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd1.ExecuteReader
Do While rdr.Read()
Console.WriteLine(rdr.Item(0)) 'or rdr(0).ToString
Next
it will continue to read the stuff till the String-Lines are coming.
when using Item(0), it just crashes for trying to convert a DBNull to a String, when using rdr(0).ToString() it just gives me no value.
So my question is how to tell OleDB that i want that column to be completly read as String/Varchar?
Thanks for Reading

I'm new to SQL and DTS packages. I am trying to import data from an excel spreadsheet to an SQL server table via DTS package. It seems that the excel task looks at the first few records in a column to determine the datatype for that column. If the first few records are text, the entire column is imported as text. If numeric, the entire column is imported as numeric.
There are about 25,000 records. In one field, the most important one, about half of the records begin with letters and the rest are all numbers. It is the subscriber ID field, and some subscriber IDs are all numbers, some are letters and numbers. The entire column should be imported as text. However, when I run the transform data task from the excel connection, none of the records that are all numbers are imported. I end up correctly importing only 13,000 of the 25,000 records. The rest are imported with the subscriberID field as <NULL>.
I tried using the CAST or CONVERT function in the SQL query, but get the error message "Undefined Function."
Can anyone give me some help? Thanks,
Jim
Hello
Looks like I'am the first one to pop this forum!
But I'am a forward guy so lets get to the problem.
A problem with my replication system as occured.
I have a working SQL server that can do replication trough internet, everyting works
The problem is when I try to import large amount of data (10000 rows) to my database on the SQL server
the subscriber on my client don't get the rows. That will say imported data is not being replicated.
only rows that i have manually inserted will be replicated.
I used the import wizard that came with SQL server.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Hello all, I am using the Import Wizard to pull in data from an Excel spreadsheet. One column in particular SQL Server sees as a float data type but it contains varchar data. So I change this in the wizard but some of these values are missing when I select * from Sheet1$ in SQL Server 2005. Any ideas why this would happen? I have formatted the particular column as text in Excel.
