Dynamic Sql Using Openrowset
Sep 21, 2007
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!
declare @abc varchar(10)
select @abc = 'table20070921'
execute ('select a.* from OPENROWSET(''MSDAORA'',''SCHEME1'';''USER'';''PASSWORD'',
''select * from ' + @abc + ' where flag = ''abc'') as a')
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near 'abc'.
Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ') as a'.

im running a dynamic query with open rowset in it
pseudocode:
@CMD=declare @ RETURN SELECT @RETURN =SUM(X) FROM OPENROWSET(....) SELECT @RETURN
EXEC @CMD
This pseudocode dipplay the result of @return

capture @return into @myvalue outside the dynamic sql scope
something like
Select @myvalue=exec(@cmd)
I don't wanna run on ditributed transaction like this
insert mytable
exec(@cmd)
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!!!

Set @Path = ''

Does anyone know an easy method to get column names into a table using OpenRowset :confused:

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 Craig/Kamal,
I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be
very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question
regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find
relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets
Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name
Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc.
And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position
Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic
Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers.

Hi,
I have a need to display on screen AND email a pdf report to email addresses specified at run time, executing the report with a parameter specified by the user. I have looked into data driven subscriptions, but it seems this is based on scheduling. Unfortunately for the majority of the project I will only have access to SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Production system is Enterprise), so I cannot investigate thoroughly.
So, is this possible using data driven subscriptions? Scenario is:
1. User enters parameter used for query, as well as email addresses.
2. Report is generated and displayed on screen.
3. Report is emailed to addresses specified by user.
Any tips on how to get this working?
Thanks

If anyone could confirm...
SQL Server 2000 SP4 to multiple SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition on PDAs. My DB on SQL2k is published with a single dynamic row filter using host_name() on my 'parent' table and also join filters from parent to child tables. The row filter uses joins to other tables elsewhere that are not published to evaluate what data is allowed through the filter.
E.g. Published parent table that contains suppliers names, etc. while child table is suppliers' products. The filter queries host_name(s) linked to suppliers in unpublished table elsewhere.
First initial sync with snapshot is correct and as I expected - PDA receives only the data from parent (and thus child tables) that matches the row filter for the host_name provided.
However - in my scenario host_name <--> suppliers may later be updated E.g. more suppliers assigned to a PDA for use or vice versa. But when I merge the mobile DB, the new data is not downloaded? Tried re-running snapshot, etc., no change.
Question: I thought the filters would remain dynamic and be applied on each sync?
I run a 'harmless' update on parent table using TSQL e.g. "update table set 'X' = 'X'" and re-sync. Now the new parent records are downloaded - but the child records are not!
Question: I wonder why if parent records are supplied, why not child records?
If I delete existing DB and sync new, I get the updated snapshot and all is well - until more data added back at server...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible (or not) to have dynamic filters run during second or subsequent merge?

I've got some text files that I need to read and make some calculations, before inserting data into a table.
When I use:
Code:
select BulkColumn as txt from openrowset(BULK 'c:Tempdata35.txt', SINGLE_NCLOB) as text
It only retrieves the first row. How can I select all the lines in the file?

I am trying to use OPENROWSET in SQL Server to connect to my Access database, but I keep getting the following error:
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'X:SetupDatabaseKDB_X2.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
I have checked the database, it is not in use, and there is no password set on the database that would prevent me from getting access to it. Any ideas? Here's the syntax I'm using:
SELECT *
FROM OpenRowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'X:SetupDatabaseKDB_X2.mdb';'Admin';'', subPSEL_PList))

select @xml = bulkcolumn from openrowset(bulk 'C:Documents and
SettingsKasiDesktopewsrss.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 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:
LIB TABLENAME TABLEDESCR FIELDNAME FIELDDESCR

BISxxSETALPA1AsomeothertableCMPNA1somefield2
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).
Thanks in advance

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.
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=http://mydot.com/excelfile.xls','SELECT * FROM [page1$]')

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.

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

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''')
______________________________
Mens. 7355, Nivel 16, Estado 1, Línea 1
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!!!

'select * from mydb..mytable (nolock)

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?
