select @xml = bulkcolumn from openrowset(bulk 'C:Documents and
SettingsKasiDesktop
ewsrss.xml' , single_blob) as channel
here after bulk instead of giving path, we have to give parameter so that the paramter takes the value from the table.
the tables contains paths of xml files
Hi thanks for looking at my question
Using sqlServer management studio 2005
My Tables are something like this:
--Table 1 "Employee"
CREATE TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee](
[EmployeeGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchFID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[MiddleName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Employee] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[EmployeeGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
FOREIGN KEY([BranchFID])
REFERENCES [myCompany].[Branch] ([BranchGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
-- Table 2 "Branch"
CREATE TABLE [Mycompany].[Branch](
[BranchGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[City] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[ManagerFID] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Branch] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[BranchGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
FOREIGN KEY([ManagerFID])
REFERENCES [MyCompany].[Employee] ([EmployeeGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
--Foreign IDs = FID
--generated IDs = GID
Then I try a simple single row DELETE
DELETE FROM MyCompany.Employee
WHERE EmployeeGID= 39
Well this might look like a very basic error:
I get this Error after trying to delete something from Table €śEmployee€?
The DELETE statement conflicted with the
REFERENCE constraint "FK_Branch_ManagerFID".
The conflict occurred in database "MyDatabase",
table "myCompany.Branch", column 'ManagerFID'.
Yes what I€™ve been doing is to deactivate the foreign key constraint, in both tables when performing these kinds of operations, same thing if I try to delete a €śBranch€? entry, basically each entry in €śbranch€? and €śEmployee€? is child of each other which makes things more complicated.
My question is, is there a simple way to overcome this obstacle without having to deactivate the foreign key constraints every time or a good way to prevent this from happening in the first place? Is this when I have to use €śON DELETE CASCADE€? or something?
Thanks
How come when I run the script:
select * from openrowset ('MSDASQL', 'Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);DBQ=\inawwwpro01d$atrUploadACK102.xls' , 'select * from [sheet1$]') from Server A I get a RESULT, and when I run from Server B I get the following error:
Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server.
Both servers are using IDENTICAL SQL Logins.
Both servers are SQL 2000 SP2.
When I run the script on Server B logged in as SA, then I get a Result!!!

Hi!
I decided to use OPENROWSET for importing data from an excel file into a sql table.When I import the data,I have a problem:
-not all the data is imported to my sql table
-some values in the sql table are different from the ones in the excel file
For example,a value that in the excel file is:87878787 will be in the SQL table:8.78788e+007.
Can somebody pls tell me what's the problem
Hi Folks,I am trying to load data from a table in MS Access to SQL Server 2000using T-SQL OPENROWSET. When I select data from the remote database (MSAccess) using SQL Query analyzer, the columns do NOT appear in the sameorder as seen in Access directly.For e.g. if Access table has columns Cy, Cx, Cz the output in Queryanalyzer appears as Cx, Cy, Cz. It appears to arrange the fieldsalphabetically. This causes problems when I do a 'insert into select *from' as the field definitions do not agree.Is this a bug or is there a setting in Access/SQL which I am missing?Also, please let me know if there is a workaround for this issue.Thanks in advance!Bhaskar

Hi Anyone I am new member and happy to be here.
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 ?
best regards

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]')
on spreadsheet data that looks like:
Model_id Model_name
. . .
123 t4556
124 x225
125 455
. . .
and get something like . . . .
Model_id Model_name
. . .
123 t4556
124 x225
125 NULL
. . .
Hi I have a table like:

BISxxSETALPA1AsomeothertableMERIA1someotherfield2
BISFFBUAALPA1AanothertablePAARSsomefield3
and would like to create views for each distinct table, using openrowset.
An added complexity is that the library name depends on the company code (i.e. BISxxSET.ALPA0A turns to BIS03SET.ALPA0A for company 03 whereas BSFFBUA.ALPA1A remains intact).

I have an excel file on a web server on a different location to the sql server. I want to use OPENROWSET to query the excel file, but it doesn't seem to like using a URL.
Is this the case, or am I doing it wrong? Works fine when I use a local address (eg c:excelfile.xls) when testing locally, but I need to use a URL in production.

Hi All,

We have lots of OPENROWSET usage here, all with embedded user id's and passwords. In an attempt to find a way to eliminate such a foolish practice I created a system DSN on my PC and tried to use it to connect to our sqlserver 2000 database as follows:
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DSN=TargetDB',
'SELECT * FROM table1') AS a
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. Authentication failed.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80040e4d: Authentication failed.].
I thought the reason to create an ODBC system data source was to not have to enter credentials in code but use the credentials in the system DSN. I guess I was wrong. Is there any way to not embed user id's and passwords in OPENROWSET code? Having user id's and passwords in code is dangerous and foolish and I am surprised people do it.
Hi everyone,
I have some doubts about OPENROWSET T-SQL function . According to my knowledges about this, openrowset function provide us to use a data from a different Server only that time that we use this function. After we use this function, there is no any linked server trace on the local server. So is this true ?
I see that everyone use different parameter for this function. For instance, everyone firstly use OLE DB name and then the second srvprovider name changes programmer to programmer, so why ?
And lastly, I wonder about the relationship between ad hoc method and openrowSet function.
Thanks
Hi!
I'm using OPENROWSET to import data from an excel file into a MS SQL table.I got it to work.....Now,my problem is that not all the data from the SQL table is imported and some values are different than the ones in the excel file.
For example,in the excel file,I have the value:87987845.In the SQL table,the value is:8.79878e+007.Any idea on what causes this?
hey..
I have to loop through number of tables on a remote servers.
Now i have witten a script(simple sql script) which loops though tables names and gets data using OpenRowSet().
My alternative way is through SSIS, keeping RetainSameConnecion=True, and then looping.
My question is,
Does calling OpenRowSet, creates a new connection each time the statement is executed?
If Not, then how's SSIS better in this case?
(please confirm that, since i was not able to see any audit login/logout in profiler)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how i tested it..
I executed OPENROWSET 3 times in a sequence. But in Profiler i see only following events..
Audit Login
Batch Started
Batch Completed
RPC:Completed.
RPC:Completed.
:
:
:
:
RPC:Completed.
I'm intersted only to see if the login happens three time, but i'm not able to see that. Also, there was no Audit Logout.
Does SQL Server automatically pool connections ?
If i run Openrowset 3 times, shouldn't it open & close connection 3 times ?
Please clarify.
I have a text file, that I need to import to SQL. I am trying to do this using OPENROWSET. This is the qry i use below.
select * from OpenRowset('MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver
(*.txt; *.csv)};
DefaultDir=c:edge;',
'select * from
vwConstrLendingLoanDefiDetailReady.txt')
I have created a System DSN, For the microsoft text driver. Anyhow it throws this error:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified]

Any idea why?
Hi all.
Seeing that the old system table syslang is no longer updateable(Not even in DAC) i decided to take a look at the definition of it, just to see where the languages are stored.(out of curiosity)
Select Object_Definition(Object_Id('SysLanguages'))
and it returns
Select .......
FROM OpenRowset(TABLE SYSLANG)
The odd thing is I tried to run that query but it gives me an error telling an incorrect sintax near TABLE.
so, the question is if does anybody knows why i can't run the same query that the object_definition returned?
any comments are most apreciated
can someone tell me why the upper part of the dynamic sql doesn't work while the lower does? i use openrowset to connect to Oracle. thanks!

Hi!
I'm working with SQL 2005 and I want to connect to other server but i can't use linked server option because of secutirty policies.
In the remot server I have a stored procedure which retrieve me information depending on one header and the date i'm consulting. Then I use that information in my local server and i need to automate the process.
I have been trying with OPENROWSET and it works ok, but just with the first header, when I execute it with other header it doesn't work.
Select * from OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB',Server; 'user';'pwd', 'Exec servidor.esquema.sp_Consulta 2,''20070101'',''20071031''')

The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(null)" supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. The name was changed at execution time.
Another issue i want to solve is that i want to sent the date as a parameter, 'cause i need the information montly.
I was reading that the openrowset and opendatasource are macros not functions, I think that's why it doesn't accept parameters in the string of the query, but now i don't know how to do to work with all the information (remote and local) without OPENROWSET, OPENDATASOURCE, LINK SERVER or an SSIS.
Help plis!!!
I am trying to execute the following ad-hoc query (I have already configured the remote server to allow ad-hoc queries):
--EXECUTE AS USER = suser_name()
SELECT c.*
INTO #MyTempTable
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=MyRemoteServer;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
'select * from mydb..mytable (nolock)
where PurchaseOrderID in (''19509114'', ''24075854'')) AS c;
I receive the following error message: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.
I have admin privileges on the remote box-how can I get this to execute in the context of my account rather than this NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON account?
Thanks,

Hi!
Can openrowset be used in a scheduled job?I'm asking this because I created a scheduled job for importing data from an excel file into an sql table.The job contains a single command(it's supposed to import data at a certain time,daily).When I check the job status,it constantly appears as 'not running'.Further more,when I check the reason for the failure,I get:
Executed as user: <my id>. Remote access not allowed for Windows NT user activated by SETUSER. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7410). The step failed.
Could someone tell me what's causing this error?

I need to read a tables in an acess database. The access database has no user/password. All the examples of openrowset show a userid and password. How do I read access table without them?

Hi, I've been having a really weird error with a one-liner:
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=c:directExport.xls;HDR=YES','SELECT * FROM [directExport$]')
Error:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
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.].
I managed to fix this since the account SqlServer was using didn't have right privelages to wwwroot or windir apparently, where the saved excel file was.
However, I wrote a .net page letting me save a gridview as an Excel, and then I tried using that Excel file (same format of information inside) and the error popped up again. I then cut out the information in that excel file (created by my .net page), pasted it into a new excel file and then renamed it, and the new file would work when I ran the query analyzer. The only difference is that in the original excel file created, the lines seperating the cells are not there (the gray ones that are there by default), but I really doubt this is the problem, as gray lines are there just to help the user see the different cells.
This is really puzzling to me. Why would it not work in one file, but when I cut it out and put it into an excel file it would work? I wasn't really sure where to post this, as this could be a .net error, and something's wrong with my saving-gridview-as-excel, but I just wanted to know if this could be related to T-SQL first before I try elsewhere. Thanks!
