View 4 RepliesI need to import data in several hunderd excell spreadsheets to a sql 2000 table. What function should I use? Do I need to create a table in sql with the same columns as the excell file and then run a query? Iam pretty new to sql, so please be gentle
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've created an excel spreadsheet with a data connection. This data connection uses a query that runs against a read-only database.
The issue I'm having is that the query never seems to finish running against the database, whether I open the Excel spreadsheet to view the data or run the query in SSMS.
I created the connection on the Data ribbon by going to From Other Sources --> From SQL Server and using the Data Connection Wizard.
Is there some kind of setting or property I'm missing that would allow this query to finish running?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
Firstly, i'm new to integration services and have only done a little with DTS jobs.
I'm trying to create an integration services project which will import data from an two worksheets in an Excel spreadsheet to two different tables in a database. I'm looking at only one table at present to make things a little more understandable.
One stipulation i have is that i need to be able to specify a variable value and insert that as an additional column in the database. I have and Excel source and a SQL destination both of which have been set up with there specific connection managers. I also have a variable which i add in using the derived column task.
When i try to debug this i am getting a few problems. I think these may be to do with the fact that although the worksheet in Excel has 20 rows (1st column shows these numbers) i only want those rows with data in them. If i preview the excel table it shows all the rows including those with null columns. Is there some sort of way that i can only get the rows that have data in the columns after the row number. I.e. can i select rows that do not have a second column value = to NULL.
I hope this makes sense and that someone can help me out with this problem.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Grant
P.S.
Apologies. I have this resolved now. I didn't see the option to use a SQL command as apposed to a table or view when setting up the Excel source.
I am still however getting the following errors which i'd appreciate some help on:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to import data from 4 columns in a spreadsheet, the Columns are (Last Name - First Name - ID - Code) and this spreadsheet has around 10k records. I want to add what is in this spreadsheet to the query I have below that uses the EXCEPT operator but I am not sure the best way to go about it.
Using the example I have filtered below for the name "Denise Test", at the end of the day I want everything that is in the spreadsheet to also be excluded from the results.
So before the spreadsheet lets say the 2nd query referencing table C has the following results for Denise Test
Last_Name First_Name ID Code
Test Denise 1 5
Test Denise 2 4
After adding the spreadsheet I want it to show this:
Last_Name First_Name ID Code

Hi, I'm a Student, and since a few months ago I'm learning JAVA. I'm creating an application to call and compare times. For this I create in Excel a time table which is quite big and it would be a lot of typing work to input one by one the data in each cell in SQL Server, considering that I have to create 8 more tables. I was able to retreive the data from excel usin the JXL API of JAVA but it doesn't give all the funtions to perform math operations as JDBC. That's why I need to move the tables from Excel to SQL.
I found this site http://davidhayden.com/blog/dave/archive/2006/05/31/2976.aspx which gives a code to do so, but I guess that some heathers are missing or maybe I don't know which compiler to use to run that code, I would like you help to identify which compiler use to run that code or if there is some vital piece of code missing.// Connection String to Excel Workbook
string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft .Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;""";
// Create Connection to Excel Workbook
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString))
{
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand ("Select ID,Data FROM [Data$]", connection);
connection.Open();
// Create DbDataReader to Data Worksheet
using (DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader())
{
// SQL Server Connection String
string sqlConnectionString = "Data Source=.; Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True";
// Bulk Copy to SQL Server
using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString))
{
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "ExcelData";
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr);
}
}
}
On the other hand in this forum I that someelse use that link but implements a totally different code which I'm not able to compile also http://forums.asp.net/p/1110412/2057095.aspx#2057095. It seems this code works as I was able to read, but I do not know which language is used.

I have a large excel spreadsheet created by finance user that contains several decades worth of sales data.
Here is a small sample:
Guest Count
Unit ID1/2/2011 1/9/2011
3 0
7 0
8 0
90 0
151696 1202
222769 1914
232704 2110
250 0
282838 1882
331089 691
363581 3064
371469 1062
I need to get this data into an SQL table in the following form so I can use it to further manipulate the data and update several other tables. I am thinking that UNPIVOT or CROSS APPLY might be the way to go, but am not sure how to code it.
The desired output:
Unit IDDate Guest Count
31/2/2011 NULL
71/2/2011 NULL
81/2/2011 NULL
91/2/2011 0
151/2/2011 1696
and so on ......
The spreadsheet has 2900 columns and 3500 rows so performance is definitely a consideration as well.

This problem is only with the BLOB data types in table RS_TABLELOB.
Then i got an error as:
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]ResultSet can not re-read row data for column

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. The problem I am having is that when I try to attach the existing db files I get a message that says "database cannot be upgraded because it is read only or has read only files...."
Thing is... there is no write protection on the files.
Can anyone advise me on how to overcome this problem so that I can attach the db, please?

if it is possible to run a distributed query against 2000 from 2005, what would the OPENDATASOURCE parameters look like? I'd like to be able to pivot without copying my older 2000 db to 2005 or using linked servers..
For reference, here's an example of a distrib query that reads excel...
ie SELECT * INTO XLImport3 FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=C: estxltest.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...[Customers$]
I have very little experience with programming and data mining, but I am working on a project where I need to take data from one spreadsheet and place it in another. Since it is hard to describe what I would like to do, I will provide an example:
SPREADSHEET 1
Column 1, Column 2
100, ?
101, ?
102, ?
103, ?
SPREADSHEET 2
Column 1, Column 2
102, 202
100, 200
103, 203
101, 201
In this example, the data in Column 1 is always tied to the data in Column 2 (i.e., 100 in Column 1 means 200 in Column 2, etc.) However, the data for Column 2 is only available in SPREADSHEET 2; moreover, the data is not in the same order in both spreadsheets.
My question is how can I create some sort of program where I can transfer the data from SPREADSHEET 2 into SPREADSHEET 1?
Hi all,
I have a column in SQL server which is of type ntext. Selecting the specific column to view it in report builder, an error message appears with the following description:

Report Builder recognises this as if it was an image...

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 am new to SSIS.
I am interested in using SSIS to import an excel spreadsheet into a SQL server database. My biggest concern is how to handle/manage errors that might occur when the import process occurs. Can anyone give me any guidance on this?
I could write some C# code to do the import and to create a custom .txt file listing errors that occur on import. Using C# code to do the import seems like I would just be reinvinting the wheel so to speak.

Hi Guys,
I've been strugling with this problem all morning today.
Basically I store images in SQL Server 2000 database and then whould like to show them with
<img src="viewImage.aspx?image_id=10" border=1>
My table structure is setup this way
TABLE [userImages] (
[imageFilename] [nvarchar] (128) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[imageContentType] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[imageFileSize] [bigint] NULL ,
[imageFileImage] [image] NULL )
and in viewImage.aspx I have:
if (dr.Read())
{
Response.ContentType = dr.GetString(dr.GetOrdinal("imageContentType"));
Response.BinaryWrite( (byte[]) dr["imageFileImage"] );
}
I have no prolems retrieving the data from DB. But the image does not display(in IE it shows a broken link image)
What's even more puzzling is I CAN display the same image from HDD like so:
FileStream fs = File.OpenRead("D:\my_image.png");
byte[] buffer = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
fs.Close();
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
Am I missing something very obvious. I tried playing around with different ContentType's same result.
In my case I am forced to store images in the DB.
I've seen other examples on the net and theirs work. Please help.
Sincerely,
Vlad Orlovsky
