View 6 RepliesEvery 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.

l've some excel files controlled by Vendor which changing frequently. The only thing does not change is the header name of each column.
So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
Thanks.

Hi all
I was wondering if it was possible to update a table based off of information from Excel. here is what I though would have worked.
update MyTest Set acctNumber='111' FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:MyFile.xls;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]') where [ProductGroup]='Hal Butts'
with 'Update MyTest' being the table name. It does have the same name as the excel file. Just to rule that out.
It gives me this error
Ambiguous column name 'ProductGroup'.
If it is possible what is the correct syntax??

I use sql 2000. I have an excel table containing some fields with the first field named code, the same table with more fields exits in my sql database, the issue:
I want to UPDATE all of the fields in sql-db that matches the ones in the excel file where code of the record matches, in sql it sorta look like this:
update mytable (Fields 2, 3, 4,... till last one /the first is the code field/)
select * from openrowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;database=C:Book1.xls','select * from [Sheet1$]')
WHERE mytable.code = myexcel.code
I had previously posted this in an Access forumwith negative results so will try here.Although this question specifies an Access database,I also wish to accomplish this with a large MS SQL Serverdatabase that we have.Question follows:The following SQL statement, used in VBScript,will COPY a table from Excel to an Access mdb.SQL = "SELECT * INTO C1R0" & _" FROM [C1R0$] IN ''" & _" 'Excel 8.0;database=c:excelUpdateFinal1.xls';"What is the SQL statement that willUPDATE an already existing Access tablewith all rows from Excel spreadsheet?The columns of both Spreadsheet and database are thesame.ThanksJim

Hi all,
I've had little success gooling/searching for this (so far).
Given a simple spreadsheet:
StoreNumber StoreName
1
UPDStoreName_1
2
UPDStoreName_2
3
UPDStoreName_3
4
NEWStoreName_4
I want to have an SSIS package that will update a table: mystores (storenumber int, storename nvarchar(255))
StoreNumber StoreName
1
StoreName_1
2
StoreName_2
3
StoreName_3
5 StoreName_5
.. what I need to do is insert the new, update the existing and leave the remaining unchanged. i.e. :
StoreNumber StoreName
1
UPDStoreName_1
2
UPDStoreName_2
3
UPDStoreName_3
4
NEWStoreName_4
5 StoreName_5
(the UPD and NEW are added to simplify the example).
Now the default action of an excel source into an ole db destination is
an insert into the table - so PK constraints causes failures.
Now, given that the table is referred to by other table, and is in a
24x7 website, how do I change the SSIS package such that, on a
row-by-row basis, anUpSert (update or insert) is performed?
The only idea I have so far is:
create temp table
insert excel data into temp table
iterate through the table, using if exists ... update else insert logic <-- this to be done in a SP
Isn't there a better way?
I have an excel file that contains column A with names of components and products followed by column B which has each respective quantity on hand. I want to import that data to our website's SQL database that has a products table with a column, Pf_ID, that has only product names not component names and In_Stock which contains out-dated information that I want updated from column B of the excel file.
I think I've figured out how to use DTS and update the two fields, but I'm afraid that when everything runs new entries will be created with component information. Is it possible to specify that only rows where Pf_ID matches some row in column A that same row's column B will be used to update the data in In_Stock. I may have just made things too confusing than they need to be, but I don't have much experience with EM or Excel.
I'm also considering trying to write a macro that will match Pf_IDs in an exported excel file of the products table and take rows out of the excel file with current quantity information putting them in a new excel file to import into the website's database.
Please help, this is getting really confusing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having some trouble with import data from an excel document to a table. The scenario is as follows:
The excel document has two columns A and B. Col A has to be copied into the table (table has 3 columns Col 1 - Primay key with autoincrement feature, Col 2 - is Col A from the Excel document, Col 3 - irrelevant)
Depending on Col B from excel doc the corresponding Col A data should be copied to the table. I tired using a DTS pacakage to do this but it complains becuase Col 1 (table) gets a valus of NULL for every value in Col A. I mapped only Col A to Col 2 in the Transformaton tab.
Any ideas? Seems like a simple job?!?
Thanks for any input

I have a table called ADSCHL which contains the school_code as Primary key and other two table as
RGDEGR(common field as SCHOOl_code) and RGENRl( Original_school_code) which are refrencing the ADSCHL. if a school_code will be updated both the table RGDEGR (school_code) and RGERNL ( original_schoolcode) has to be updated as well. I have been provided a new data that i have imported to SQL server using SSIS with table name as TESTCEP which has a column name school_code. I have been assigned a task to update the old school_code vale ( ADSCHL) with new school_code ( TESTCEP) and make sure the changes happen across all 3 tables.
I tried using Merge Update function not sure if this is going to work.
Update dbo.ADSCHL
SET dbo.ADSCHL.SCHOOL_CODE = FD.SCHOOL_Code
FROM dbo.ADSCHL AD
INNER JOIN TESTCEP FD
ON AD.SCHOOL_NAME = FD.School_Name

Hi I'm new to SQL server.
What I'm trying to do is to automate the import of data from an Excel spreadsheet to a table within SQL Server.
The index of the table has a seed set to increment by 1 and I assume that this is the same as the Autonum datatype in Access.
When I import data I miss out this field as it is autogenerated, but the DTS package fails as it is trying to put a NULL in to this field.
Where am I going wrong....is there something that I should change on the DTS import?
Hey folks,
My first post and I hope not my last!!
I am very new to the entire world SQL Server databases. I am starting from scratch.
Currently I have a little Website I am doing for myself that is .asp based and will allow users to query some sports boxscores. I hope to create a user interface that will allow folks to seperate team results based on certain criteria...
It is just a hobby of mine that I have been doing for year with excel and now hope to let others like me do it aswell.
here is what I got.
MSSQL 2005 Server with a database.
Iam using SQL 2005 Server Express Studio. Therefore, do not have access to SSIS or DTS or anything like that.
However, I want to import several hundred records into a db I created (hosted by Crystal tech). Since, I don't have access to the Server root directory, I can't use the BULK INSERT statement.
I am looking for a method to query an excel file (or .csv something..) that is stored on my local drive and upload it to the Server db tables.
I would like to do this either through SQL with a query. Or I would to add this VB code to the current VB that I use in my Excel file.
any ideas..??
Thank you for supporting me in advance.
Hi!
I have to develop an application for transfering data from an excel file into a sql table.The excel file is uploaded to a server.The database(and the table) is on another server.At first,I used openrowset for transferring data to the table.My sql command looked like this(in my asp page):
SQLstr = "SELECT * INTO dbo.shopping_TSR FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database="+Server.MapPath("upload/tmb2.xls")+";hdr=yes', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')"
I kept getting this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the error.]
After reading a few articles,I think the cause of my error is that the excel file is uploaded into the folder where the asp script is located.I have 2 servers : one running the asp scripts and one containing the database.
Is my error generated by the fact that the excel file is on a different server than the sql server?How could I make this work?
How do I copy a column of data from excel and paste into an sql table?

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.
I need to make a script in SQL 2005 to import data from an Excel sheet into a SQL table.
I am using the wizard to import now.
Import from Excel 2000. First row of the excel sheet has column names.

Destination sql database name is: NM, table name is: Sht1
I use SQL Server Authentication to access the database.
User name: ABC and password: DEF
Database name is: DB
I am using the following setting when importing now:
- Delete rows in destination table
- Enable identity insert
Hi,
I need to import data from more than 10 excels having the same format in to a single sql server table.
I tried to use
INSERT INTO MyTempTable
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 11.0;Database=C:Book1.xls', [Sheet1$])
but got the below error
Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server.
If DTS package is used then I am not sure how I can place 10 excels at a time so that they can be picked one by one and data is imported in to table.
Please help.
