Strange Problem With Using OpenDataSource() To Get Data From Excel.
Apr 7, 2005
:(
Hey guys. I got some problem here.
I have an Excel spreadsheet. the data is something like :
COL1 COL2 COL3
DATA1 1 DETAIL1
DATA2 2 DETAIL2
DATA3 3 DETAIL3
DATA4 4 DETAIL4
DATA5 5 DETAIL5
DATA6 6 DETAIL6
DATA7 7 DETAIL7
etc
there are 1877 * 3 cells in total in the spreadsheet.
but when I execute a query like:
select * from OpenDataSource('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source=Test.xls;User ID=Admin;Password=;Extended properties=Excel 8.0')...[Sheet1$]
It returns 2132 * 5 units of data!!! And the "F4" and "F5" column just have NULL. so do row 1878 to 2132. I'm confused with that.
I need your help~ 3X in advance. :)

Hi,
I am trying to import a excel file in to my database... The improt works fine.. But some of the data is missing though it is present in the excel spread sheet.
I have some data for cusip which are 9 characters and they be a combination of numbers wiht a letter.. for eg.. 123456789 or 12345R789. And in the my spread sheet there are around 73 rows.. until the 62 row it has numbers like 123456789 and from the 62 to 73 it has 12345R789 this is an just example but the data is in that format.
I went to sqlServer 2005 and imported the data using Tasks -ImportData and selected my excel spreadsheet, the user name and password for the database and i selected the sheet i want to import.. and when i preview the data ... Until the 62 row i can see the numbers and after that i cannot see any data in that column.... and when i import the data from 62 row the value is NULL...
So can some please tell me what going on why isnt that data been recognised by the importer in sql server.

What is the syntax for using parameters in an opendatasource query? I tried using the below:
SELECT top 10 *
FROM OPENDATASOURCE(
'SQLOLEDB',
'Data Source=10.22.10.78;User ID='+@user+';Password='+@pword
).Northwind.dbo.Categories

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.
Thanks,
Manisha

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
Please help me how to solve this issue.

I am trying to open and query a Microsoft Access "like" database from SQL Server 2000 using OpenDataSource. This will work for a little while, but if I am to update my ASP.NET code base I have to completely reboot the machine for these queries to work again. I also have two reboot the machine periodically because this functionality decides to crap out. I am doing this from a stored procedure. My code looks like this:DECLARE @SelectCode varchar(5000)SET @SelectCode ='SELECT CONVERT(varchar, Value) AS UnitName FROMOPENDATASOURCE(''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'', ''Data Source = "' + @Path + @DataFile + '.fcd";User ID=Admin;Password=;'')...Properties WHERE Property LIKE ''UnitName'''EXEC(@SelectCode)Now, when I am developing on my local machine that uses Windows Authentication, I have absolutely no problems, unless the source file has a schema error.Any ideas?

Hi all, In a select sql statement, I have to query 2 databases from 2 different servers. The only way I found to do this, is to call OPENDATASOURCE like this :<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:bdConnectionString1 %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Table1] t1 left join OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx').dbname.dbo.table2 t2 on t1.id = t2.id"> </asp:SqlDataSource>My question is the following :Is there a way to connect to the second server without using the full server declaration into the sql statement ? For information, the server connection is already declare into my web.config like that :<add name="bdConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />so is there a way to use 'bdConnectionString2' directly ?If not, is there a way to connect to the second server without entering informations like User ID and Password ? My problem being that I'm not sure it's safe to send this informations directly from the asp.net page. Thank you

need to do this ... but using variables in opendatasource not allowed.
so how do we go about it
What i need to do is allow upload of any excel file ... may contain errors and then perform some checks on the data before putting it into another table with a fixed structure.

Using SQL Server 2005, I hve encountered a very strange error which I cannot figure out. The simplified stored proc below basically does a select and sorts the records based on the column name given in the @SortCol parameter. When I enter the field names bapk, jhpk, etc everything works fine. The records are returned sorted by the field name entered into the parameter. The first eight variables are field names and types When I enter the field name 'descr' into the @SortCol variable/parameter, I receive the error: Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Procedure CMSCheck2, Line 28Conversion failed when converting character string to smalldatetime data type. I don't see where this is coming from at all. The problem is in the stored proc lines beginning with 'CASE @SortCol'If I take out the lines and just use OVER (Order By descr) as RowNum -- everything is fineIf I delete the line WHEN 'descr' THEN descr -- everything is fine, it just falls through to the default. What is the problem? Where is a conversion to smalldatetime coming from? I've been working on this one for a while, and cannot figure it out. It must be something simple.

Dear all,
I've got a SSIS package which comprises a pair of Sql Task and after that a Data Flow.
Such Data Flow own two Data Viewers, one between my Excel Source and my Derived Column and the another one between my Derived Column and my Ole DB Destination. Up to here, everything's fine.
Package really works properly but when I execute only the first Sql Task runtime shows (as usual) Excel Source Ouput Data Viewer1 and Derived Column Output Data Viewer1. Both windows empty, of course. Problem comes when I choose 'Copy Data'. Inmediately, appears a dialog with the message:
"Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I wonder, at first, why on earth these two windows are showed when I execute a task which belongs to Control Flow no Data Flow????? What happen?
Maybe my doubt is a little bit devious, crazy.
Thanks in advance for your input,

Hi,
I have written a stored procedure which extracts job history from all our servers using the OPENDATASOURCE function using NT authentication.
It's works fine when the stored procedure is called from Query Analyser, however I want it to be called hourly so are calling it from a SQL agent job.
I have set the job to run as myself, and the owner is myself, but the procedure fails when trying to connect to the first server, giving the error :-
"Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. about to query : aadmin01 [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. [SQLSTATE 28000] (Error 18452). The step failed."
It doesn't seem to be able to make the NT authenticated connection when the OPENDATASOURCE function is called from within the context of a SQL agent job.
I know a solution may be to use a regular SQL login for the OPENDATASOURCE calls, but this means hard-coding passwords into the stored procedure - I'd read this is bad practice.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks

I have general connections to the dbworking fine, but not with OpenDataSource or OpenRowSet.I've tried variations on:select * fromOpenDataSource('Advantage OLE DB Provider','Data Source=C:MediDataTutormwddf.add;User ID=user;Password=password;Advantage Server Type=ADS_LOCAL_SERVER;Initial Catalog=mwddf.add;')...MWPATWhich gives:OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Advantage OLE DB Provider'IColumnsInfo::MapColumnIDs returned 0x80040e21: [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_CATALOGORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_SCHEMA ORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_NAMEORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_TYPE ORDINAL=-1], [COLUMN_NAME=TABLE_GUIDORDINAL=-1]].I've also tried:select * fromOpenrowset('Advantage OLE DB Provider','Data Source=C:MediDataTutormwddf.add;UserID=user;Password=password;Initial Catalog=mwddf.add;Advantage ServerType=ADS_REMOTE_SERVER',MWPAT)and 'Select * from MWPAT'.These last yield:[OLE/DB provider returned message: No Data Source specified]which seems closer.Can anyone help?

I would like to create a stored procedure that imports an Excel file toa sql server table. I need to be able to pass the path to thespreadsheet to the stored procedure like so:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ImportSpreadsheet(@Path nvarchar(120))ASSELECT * INTO AuditFROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source = ' + @Path + ';Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...Audit$I will call the stored procedure from within my .NET application andpass it the path as @Path. The path will be chosen by the user at runtime and will be something similar toC:SpreadsheetsAudits.xls.I can make this run in the Query Analyzer:SELECT * INTO AuditFROM OPENDATASOURCE( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source = ''C:SpreadsheetsAudits.xlsAudit_TC.xls'';Extend edProperties=Excel 8.0')...Audit$I could run the SQL directly from my app, but I like to use storedprocs whenever I can for the speed and flexibility. I can change thestored proc and not have to recompile/reinstall the app.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All
I'm trying to update feilds in a local table from a remote table using the following:
update schema.table1 set acc = r.acc, add = r.add
from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=user;Password=mypw').db.schema.table1 as R, schema.table1 as L where R.acc = L.acc
When run from Query Analyser, it fails with:
Could not find server '"db"."schema"."table1" in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
On both servers, the database, schema and table names are the same.
Running SQL2K SP4 on both servers. Don't want to set up linked servers, as they will only connect on a scheduled basis to perform updates.
Other queries such as insert work, as well as update OPENDATASOURCE( . . .) set x=L.x from schema.table where . . . so it's a prob with the From clause of the update.
Am I missing something, or is what I'm trying to do just not possible?
TIA

Hi, there;
I have a SSIS package that importing data from ODBC source. It failed because of those long exception. To find out what causes the problem, I tried to import data by DTS package in SQL 2000. I just select small chunk of data(about 27 rows), the package gives error:
The number of failing rows exceeds the maximum specified.
Insert error, column 45('PrevStmtBal',DBTYPE_NUMERIC), status 12: Invalid status for bound data.
Insert error, column 45(LastSTmtBal,DBTYPE_NUMERIC), status 12: Invalid status for bound data.
.......: same error for other columns with same data type.
But, if tried these 27 rows one by one, I can import those data without any problem! This tells me that there is no data format issue with that part of data.
My ODBC source is D3.
Does anybody know what the problem is?
Thanks.

I have the following T-SQL commands which run without errors:
select Description_Text
from OpenRowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};
DefaultDir=D:Import;','select * from company_finance.csv')
select Description_Text
from OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=D:Import;Extended Properties="Text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"')...company_finance#csv
When I run either command on our TEST server, all the text in the fields retrieved is returned, but when I run on our PRODUCTION server, all fields are truncated to 255 characters. The source file company_finance.csv is identical on both servers. Both servers have the same O/S (Win 2K Server), same version of SQL Server 2000 and MDAC (2.71). I cannot figure out if the problem is on the SQL Server side, or has something to do with some registry settings or something else, but both the Text Driver and the Jet drivers produce the similar results on each servers. Are there some config settings in SQL Server or in the registry I can look at to determine why the truncation is occurring? Help!
Thanks for your time.

Greetings all
Have another issue with OPENDATASOURCE
The following SQL appears to run successfully:
Update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=******').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY
set STARTDTTM = L.STARTDTTM,ENDDTTM = L.ENDDTTM,CLOSED = L.CLOSED,
CASHEDUP = L.CASHEDUP,CASHINTILL = L.CASHINTILL,CHEQUESINTILL = L.CHEQUESINTILL,
EPSALES = L.EPSALES,EPCUTORETURN = L.EPCUTORETURN,REPFLAG = R.REPFLAG
from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=******;Password=*****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY AS R inner join
TSADMIN.SALESDAY as L on R.SALESDAYID = L.SALESDAYID where L.REPFLAG = 1
However, all records in the remote table get updated if there are any records satisfying the REPFLAG clause, if more than 1 then I guess the last record in the source set.
Running the same SQL against 2 tables in the local DB works perfectly.
These are both MSDE V8.00.2039 SP4 connecting via RAS dial up.
Any ideas where to focus my attention will be gratefully received
Thanks

Haven't solved the issue, but staggered around it. I have simply reversed the tables in the SQL and executed at the remote server instead, so it is updating a local table while getting data from a remote table. This functions as it should. Any clues to the above would still be good tho' - cheers

Hi there, i copied some insert code from one page to another and it keeps throwing me this error, i was wondering if anyone can help me out. Here is the error
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The name "Credit" is not permitted in this context. Valid expressions are constants, constant expressions, and (in some contexts) variables. Column names are not permitted. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteNonQueryTds(String methodName, Boolean async) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Admin_expenses.Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in d:hostingmemberashdfhtdocswwwAdminexpenses.aspx.cs:line 40
This is my code, i cant see anything obvious and as i said i just copied it across, the only things changed were the names and the sqlstringprotected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{decimal intamount = Convert.ToDecimal(txtAmount.Text);
string sConnectionStringExpense = "Data Source=xxxx;Initial Catalog=xxxx;User ID=xxxx;Password=xxxx";SqlConnection objConnExpense = new SqlConnection(sConnectionStringExpense);
using (objConnExpense)
{
objConnExpense.Open();string sqlExpense = "INSERT INTO tbl_expenses (expense_amount, expense_payment_type, expense_type, expense_description) " +
"VALUES (" + intamount + "," + ddlPaymentType.SelectedItem + "," + ddlExpenseType.SelectedValue + "," + txtDescription.Text + ")";SqlCommand objCmdExpense = new SqlCommand(sqlExpense, objConnExpense);
try
{
objCmdExpense.ExecuteNonQuery();
}catch (Exception ex)
{lblcomplete.Text = "!!Adjust stock for product at location " + Convert.ToString(ex);
}
finally
{
objConnExpense.Close();
}
}
