I'm trying to access Excel file from SQL Server management studio using OPENROWSET using the below query but getting the error listed below.
Query:
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=E:TestFilesExcelFile.xlsx',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'
)
Error:
Msg 7415, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server.
I've created a stored procedure that accepts two arguments: the name of an Excel workbook (@workbookBillRun), and the name of the first worksheet found in that workbook (@worksheetBillRun).
Through dynamic SQL, I'm able to construct a statement that pulls out data.
The workbook name will always be known: when the user uploads the file, I change the name to match a certain pattern. Example: 2011-08 AUG.xlsx
However, I won't always know the worksheet name. The workbook *should* contain just one worksheet; and the worksheet *should* be named identically to the workbook (2011-08 AUG), but it may not be named as such. And if I pass an invalid worksheet name, the code above will fail.
I've created error handling to alert the user of an incorrectly named sheet. However, I was curious whether I could extract the name of the first worksheet in the workbook from within T-SQL.
I am using SQLServer 2005 SP2. I enabled the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries and DisallowAdhocAccess registry option is explicitly set to 0. Query is working fine when I remote desk to the server and execute when I run same query from my workstation I am getting following error
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
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 "(null)".
We have a database,which has been mirrored.Also,We have an application which uses OpenRowSet to connect to this database.
Is it possible to set "Failover partner" in OpenRowSet connection string,so when we failover from Prinicple server to the mirrored database,The application still will continue to work?
Example:
select * from openrowset( 'SQLOLEDB', 'Data Source=Server1;Failover Partner=Server2;trusted_connection=yes;','select top 10 from Database1.dbo.Table1' ) temp
I having an excel file called TEST.XLS (in c: drive) which has 3 columns (c0,c1,c2) & 8 rows c0 c1 c2 1 a A 2 b B 3 c C 4 d D 5 e E 6 f F 7 g G 8 h H
In sql server i have one table called TEST which has three columns c0 char(10) c1 char(10) c2 char(10)
when i runnig the following query
select * into TEST from openrowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:TEST.xls;HDR=YES', 'select * from [Sheet1$]')
i am getting error like this

Anybody having any idea why this error occuring? thanks in advance... Philkos
I am having trouble exporting the correct data from sql server to an excel spreadsheet using 'OPENROWSET'
The problem is that although the data from my sql table is say : 'a',1,2,3 , the excel spreadsheet sees the data as : 'a','1,'2,'3 ..1,2,3 are of course numbers NOT text, its just that the driver has put a single appostraphy before the number !
I know there is a bug with the ISAM driver but has anyone managed to solve this or has anyone have any alternatives ?
I'm doing an openrowset query on an excel sheet. (Using SQL Server 2005) Everything works great, except that I have one column that has both numeric and text data in the spreadsheet. The query returns that column as datatype varchar but puts nulls in the rows that have numeric data in the spreadsheet.
Any suggestions?
I run:
select * from openrowset('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;database=[filepathandname], 'select * from [Sheet1$A4:G5000]')
Same with OpenDataSource. SQL 2000, logged in as non-SA.Getting message:Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has beendenied. You must access this provider through a linked server.Can run with SQLOLEDB with connection string to same server(obviously), but when trying to access an Excel file, get the messageabove.It appears that the file name given in the connection string to Excelis with respect to the SQL server, so I have used UNC names to thefile. Nothing.Want to avoid DTS when it's a table that I need and can't use a linkedserver because it's always a one time thing.Any tips appreciated!
Haven't been able to find much information on using openrowset with excel 2007 xlsx files. I've tried the following with no success so far.
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0 Xml;Database=\serverfolderfile.xlsx;HDR=No;IMEX=1', 'SELECT f1 FROM [Raw Keywords$] WHERE f1 IS NOT NULL')
If anyone knows the correct way to do this please tell me.
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', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:ExcelFile.xls', 'select * from Sheet1')
and I get the following error message:

Hello, I would like to delete all data from an excel sheet except the headers row. Is there any way to do this using Openrowset with JET or something like that? Thanks Philippe

I am using similiar query to above to create a excel file, however for this to work, I need to create a template file which has the same columns as the authors table. Is there a way to NOT to define template columns , as I some times will not know which columns will be available... as teh query is dynamic....

Hi, recently I encountered the following problem: I tried to execute a stored procedure on the newly installed SQL 2005 Server (now on x64 Win Server 2003) which imports an Excel-File into a DB table. We use OPENROWSET to access the Excel data. But I recognized this is dependent on Jet OLE DB which seems is not available for x64 windows.
Is there another way to import excel data using a stored procedure.

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$]' ) AS X
I can run the sample query from my laptop with SSMS (I have admin rights) and I can also run it as SA from my laptop. So all is good, right?
But if I RDC into TEST1, I cannot run the query. I get this error:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.". OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.". OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".But wait! It gets better.
I can run the query as SA from TEST1.
And of course, the developer can't run it either.
And it works fine in the production server.
I'm thinking the basics are there but something isn't right in some permission somewhere.
Maybe it worked once, but in most time it doesn't work, query like below
select top 10 * from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webablefilessitefiles4000010 eibcactive.xls', 'select * from [crap2$]')
I got error
OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error". 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 "(null)".
but the same query can run without any problem on a SQL 2000 server run on a server in the same network.
For a flexible import in our SQL database (SQL 2000 on a Windows 2003 server) we use OPENROWSET. In our development on a local instance of SQL Server, we have no problems with a connection to Accesss. However, when we deploy the same code with the same Access database to our test server we get an error indicating to use a Linked Server.
We set all neccessary parameters for allowing ad hoc queries and encounter no problems with queries to different SQL Servers and Oracle databases. Also, when we execute the query to the Access database on a local disk from a job, it works fine. Run the same query to an Access database on a fileshare from a job results in an error.
How come the OPENROWSET selection cannot be run from the query analyser or to an Access database on a fileshare? What security settings are blokking?
We use the following query: SELECT top 10 * FROM OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:Testdata est.mdb'; 'admin';'',Table1)
I am having a recurring issue that involves a stored proc using OPENROWSET to query an excel file. I used the surface area config to enable this on the server, and made sure that is still set. After an undetermined amount of time, the OPENROWSET query starts failing with this message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error". 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 "(null)".
I corrected this previously by restarting the SQL server, but not before I checked permissions, the excel file itself, etc, and that was the last thing to try.
I am using SQL 2005 with SP1 installed - my primary approach to tackling this issue is to install the SP2, but I did not find this bug referenced in the fixes, and was wondering if anyone else had further insight.
MS SQL Server 2005 Express. I'm trying to connect to Access DB (having System Database) via OPENROWSET. Everything (client, server and access file) is on local drive.
This works (ODBC):
select * from openrowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:MBK.mdb;SystemDB=C:SECURED.MDW;Uid=me;Pwd=pw;', 'select * from [Mbk]')
This works (Jet.OLEDB):
select * from opendatasource('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source=C:MBK.mdb;Jet OLEDBystem Database=C:SECURED.MDW;User ID=me;Password=pw;') ...Mbk
This won't work (Jet.OLEDB):
select * from openrowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'MS Access;Database=C:MBK.mdb;System Database=C:SECURED.MDW;UID=me;PWD=pw;', 'select * from [Mbk]')
saying ... "Wrong argument".
This won't work (Jet.OLEDB):
select * from openrowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'MS Access;Database=C:MBK.mdb;SystemDB=C:SECURED.MDW;UID=me;PWD=pw;', 'select * from [Mbk]')
saying ... "There are no permissions for usage of object C:MBK.mdb". It seems that it simply hasn't found system database file C:SECURED.MDW, cause when I change SystemDB=C:SECURED.MDW to something like BlahBlahBlah=C:SECURED.MDW the same message is shown.
So, what is the right syntax for stating System Database in OPENROWSET query string? And why 'System Database' won't work?
S: Running SQL Server Express V: Running SSIS package in VS.Net F: Shared folder host excel files
And an openrowset SQL statement: select * from openrowset(..... \Fexcel.xls....). This statement can be run in SS management studio connecting to S using my Windows logon(integration security) without any problem.
However, the same SQL running inside SSIS package (integration security using my Windows account) get the following error:
Error: 0x0 at Check headers: OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\Fexcel.xls'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.".

I'm experiencing issues importing XML data using a distributed query with the following statement which is run from an XP client named WorkstationA connecting to SQL2005 SP2 ServerB, the XML data is located on ServerC.
AdHoc Queries using OpenRowSet has been enabled and verified.
The SQL Server service is running using a domain user account with permissions to read the remote files. I have logged in locally to the SQL server and verified this. It still fails even if the SQL services are running using LocalSystem.
User on Workstation A is authenticated with Integrated security (SQL Admin) and has rights to read the XML files on ServerC.
WorkStationA = SQL2005 Mgt Studio running the query ServerB = SQL2005 SP2 ServerC = XML data files
DECLARE @xml XML SELECT @xml =CONVERT(XML, bulkcolumn, 2) FROM OPENROWSET(BULK '\SERVERCSHAREPATHDATAFILE.XML', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x SELECT @xml
Results: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot bulk load because the file "\SERVERCSHAREPATHDATAFILE.XML" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access Denied).
The query fails when it is run from Workstation A connected to SQL ServerB querying data on ServerC via a UNC. The query is succesful when it is run from the local SQL ServerB. The problem is with distributed queries. The query is succesful when the XML files are local to the SQL server including referencing them via a local UNC
I've already created a table and i wanna to insert values in that more than five hundred row ,that values are stored in Excel files, Here I've the doubt is it possible to insert values from excel sheet? I've current data base of ms sql 2000, if it is possible means, how to insert values using query?
I have a master table containing details of over 800000 surveys made up of approximately 400 distinct document names and versions. Each document can have as few as 10 questions but as many as 150. Each question represents one row.
My challenge is to create a separate spreadsheet for each of the 400 distinct document names and versions containing all the rows and columns present in the master table. The largest number of rows would be around 150 and therefore each spreadsheet will not be very big.
e.g. in my sample data below, i will need to create individual Excel files named as follows . . . "Document1Version1.xlsx" containing all the column names and 6 rows for the 6 questions relating to Document 1 version 1 "Document1Version2.xlsx" containing all the column names and 8 rows for the 8 questions relating to Document 1 version 2 "Document2Version1.xlsx" containing all the column names and 4 rows for the 4 questions relating to Document 2 version 1
I assume that one of the first things is to create a lookup of the distinct document names and versions assign some variables and then use this lookup to loop through and sequentially filter the master table data ready for creating the individual Excel files.
--CREATE TEMP TABLE FOR EXAMPLE
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#excelTest') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #excelTest CREATE TABLE #excelTest ( [rowID] [nvarchar](10) NULL, [docName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
The reason I want to put an ip address on connection string i just want to create connection strings as people do in their work. When the app tried access the connection string it gives the error in the attachment.
Because I haven't used this user/password for a long time I'm pretty sure the user name and password is correct but i have the following questions
1. Assume the user and password is incorrect, is there way to reset this? 2. what other configuration that i need to do in order to make teh C# app access this Database?
I routinely need to import data into SQL DB from Access 2010.I've tried using both Openrowset and Opendatasource, and I'm receiving similar errors.
Here's my code I'm trying:
SELECT * FROM OpenRowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','C:ITS DatabaseCHI_ITS_v2013a.accdb';'admin';'',Sheet2)
Here's the error message I'm receiving:
Msg 7308, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' cannot be used for distributed queries because the provider is configured to run in single-threaded apartment mode.
I'm got a "folder" structure application which we'll be using as an in-house directory viewer. (In case you're wondering, it doesn't relate to any "real" folders, so using xp_cmdshell is out! )
Each folder and file record can have its own permissions, however these are assumed to inherit from the parent folder if no specific access rules have been set, basically in the same way file systems work. Each file record can only have one parent, and a folder can either have a parent or be at the root level.
Right now I'm having an issue with the inheritance of permissions. Say if I want to grant access to "Folder 1" to "Group A", then "Group B" shouldn't be able to see it. However, if I grant access to "File 1" in "Folder 1" to "Group B", then "Group B" should be able to see "Folder 1", but only see "File 1" and not the rest of the contents.
I thought I could do this with a CTE, but I'm having a bit of difficulty..
Here's the code:
CREATE TABLE #FileSystem ( FSIDINTEGER NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY ,ParentFSIDINTEGER NULL ,NameVARCHAR(100) ,RecordTypeVARCHAR(1)-- (F)older, or Fi(L)e
