Import Excel To Sql 2005 - Realtime
Nov 2, 2007
Ther eis an excel file.
This file is open all the time so the excel sheets get populated by an external third party application real time.
So the data inside the spreadsheets are constantly changing. This spreadsheet is only capable of being updated with data when it is open.
And I would like to import this excel data on a certain interval into sql server 2005.
Tried using the import wizard but it seems the import does not work if the source i.e. the excel file is open.
Is there an alternative please?
Thanks

Hi,
Using SSIS, I am successfully importing data from excel files into a table in sql server 2005.
These excel files are ALWAYS open and are being updated from external sources i.e. third party tools.
After doing alot of investigations, I have reached the conclusions as follows:
When the excel files are NOT being updated, then the ssis package works
BUT when the excel files are being updated, then the ssis package does not work. The error is:
[Excel Source [749]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Please note that the excel files MUST be open so that they get updated by the third party tool.
AND, every few minutes i.e. 5 mins, my ssis package should import these excel files.
Question:
How is it possible to load the excel data while it is being updated by external third party.
Thanks

I need to create an application to import several text, excel and mdb files into SQL2005. I created a c# application to dynamically create a package & import text files but not able to do the same with excel and mdb files.
I guess i am not giving the right connections. Any help on this please........

Hi
I have to import data from a number of excel files to corresponding tables in SQL 2005. The excel files are created using excel 4.0. I have created an excel connection manager and provided it with the path of the excel sheet.Next i have added an excel source from the toolbox to the dataflow. I have set the connection manger, data access mode, and the name of the excel sheet (the wizard detects the sheet correctly) in the dialog window i get when i double click the excel source. Every thing goes fine till here. Now when i select the 'columns' in this dialog window or the preview button, i get this error
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio------------------------------Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: Opening a rowset for "test4$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)------------------------------
Any ideas about why is this happening???

I have a simple code that uses a the file upload control to read an excel sheet and upload the data into a SQL 2005db.
I'm using Visual Web Developer and Sql's express edition to test it. It works fine when I test. However, when I push it up to the production server and try it via the any other pc it does not. The page loads fine. However, when it starts to upload it errors out.
Any reason why? I've never seen this happen.
Here's the code. Thanks in advance. Protected Sub BtnUpload2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnUpload2.Click

End Sub
Private Sub UploadTextDocument()
Dim location As String = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName.ToString

I have around 600 worksheets that i need to import into sql server that are in a somewhat non-table like format. Data defractor seems to be able to do what i need, but i also need to check into doing it manually. I've seen the code to import cells and ranges into sql server, but can't seem to remember what it is anymore. I've also searched through the forums and can't seem to find any examples either. Could anyone post an example or a link with some examples or explaination code. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to import an xlsx spreadsheet into a sql 2008 r2 database using the SSMS Import Wizard. When pointed to the spreadsheet ("choose a data source") the Import Wizard returns this error:
"The operation could not be completed" The Microsoft ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine (System.Data)
How can I address that issue? (e.g. Where is this provider and how do I install it?)

While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice14.0Access Connectivity EngineEnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
• xls
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";"
by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.

I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100DTSMappingFiles
Assuming one of these will control Excel defaults, which one is it? None of the names lend themselves to the Excel as a source. SqlClientToMSSql10?

Is there a way to copy a table schema into a new table rather than having to generate a create table script?For example, I have table dbo.MyTable and I want to copy the schema to newuser.MyTable without a script? I know you can restore into a new database from an existing database so maybe you can do this?thanks-c

Is SSIS a tool for extracting realtime data from staging to data warehouse? Realtime in my case can be loading every 15 minutes but no more than 30 minutes. I've a data warehouse which data refresh once a day and it worked fine. The data that I extract into the warehouse is from a Staging database which is realtime replication of multiple production databases. Once a day, I've to have replication pauses on staging for a couple hours to refresh the data warehouse. That's the only way so SSIS can pull the data correctly; if I've replication on while SSIS pull data, it will always copy less rows than it supposed to.
I cannot afford to have replication pauses every 15 minutes just so I can refresh data warehouse. Does anyone every have this problem? or any best practice how to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am importing data from Excel to SQL Server. My Excel files are .html file format. Using ActiveX Script I am saving that file to xls file format as follows
Set myXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set myXLWorkBook = myXL.Workbooks.Open(filename)
Set myXLWorkSheet = myXL.ActiveSheet
myXLWorkBook.SaveAs filename, 43 '43-xlExcel9795
Set oPkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
Set oConn = oPkg.Connections("Excel")
This script works fine but it prompts me that the file already exists do you want to replace it. How can I avoid this prompt
Secondly this file contains data like that
Col1 Col9 Col10
Row-1 Report Name
Row-2 From Date
Row-3 To Date
Location Count Amount
9999 1 100.00
9876 10 20.40
Where Row are the excel rows
The TransformData Task thinks that the Col 1 is of nvarchar(255) but after the tranfer all values in Col1 is NULL. How can I convert a nvarchar to Char or varchar
Here is ActiveX Script for Transformation
Function Main()
Dim Result
DTSDestination("Amount") = DTSSource("F10")
DTSDestination("Count = DTSSource("F9")
DTSDestination("StoreNumber") = DTSSource("ReportName")
Result = DTSTransformStat_OK
Main = Result
End Function
:)

I've been asked to create an automated DTS import which is to take place each and every evening. The import routine is to import data into an SQL table from an Excel spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet is not massively complicated though is does contain formulas and calculations.
When using the DTS Wizard:
"Choose Data Sourse"
Data Source = Microsoft Excel 97-2000
I then browse to the file name.
"Choose Destination"
I select the Server name and Database to import into.
"Specify Table Copy or Query"
I select 'Use a query to specify the data transfer' then click Next.
I then click on the query builder and here's where I get stuck. The Source tables panel contains many rows and when expanded they all contain the same thing (field headings in the Excel spreadsheet).
I'm totally stuck here - can anyone help? :confused:

Hi,
I have to import Excel file to SQL Server 2005 using SSIS. I am having alot of problems and was wondering if it's no trouble if you could please instruct me how to proceed.
My scenario:
I have an excel file that contains a heading and then subheading such as
HEADING
Acc_g Acc_n
12 n_a2
13 n_b3
My database has a table called accounts with fields acc_g and acc_n.
I need to enter the values from the excel into the table. I tried doing it but SSIS also tries to insert the rows following the last line in excel and returns nulls and the table does't allow null values.
How can i resolve it?
Thanks

I am trying to import data from an excel spreadsheet. The file comes from a client and sometimes it may not have any data, that is, it will be blank. It seems that the Excel Source in SSIS does not like empty files, is there any way around this? I suppose I can check to see if it is empty and abort the import process but I am not sure how to do this. Any other ideas on how to get around this??

Firstly I am not a programmer; and this is the first time I have used this forum
I am working with some friends who have been assisting.
I am developing a product that is importing data into a sequel data base, and the data is being recorded in real time but posted at minute intervals. The data is then being exported to a local flat file again at minute intervals each row containing about 50 columns.
Currently the whole file is being imported across the internet and it all works fine. I am using analysis services to look at the data every two minutes. As the file grows this time becomes longer. What I want to do is only import the latter portion of the flat file, say the last 144 rows there are 1440 rows per day.
What is the most efficient way to do this? Duplicated records would be a disaster.
Ideally the number of rows to be collected would be variable not fixed at 1440, these rows would be added to the main table that will probably contain up to 1 years worth of data i.e. 1440 rows * 365 days with approx 50 columns.
Any comments to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Here's a little sql 2005 script I wrote:
1. Start by running this script....
declare @x int
select @x = 1
while ( @x < 75000)
begin
insert into myTesttable values (@x)
Select @x = @x + 1
end
2. While the script is still running, I want to know how many records are in the table. From the same query window as the script, I have run both of the following statements.
select count(*) from mytesttable
witn (nolock)
select count(*) from mytesttable
witn (tablock)
Instead of getting the answer immediately, they run only after the original script has completed. They seem to be "blocked". How can I get a near realtime count of the number of records in this table while the script populates the table?
Thanks,

Hi, I'm building a web application in VB.NET 1.1 where users will upload Excel files at this webpage and the web application will transfer the data from the uploaded Excel file into MS SQL 2000. There are around 600-700 records and about 56 columns in the Excel file which is to be uploaded daily. There will be a few different files which I need to implement for as well.
I've sourced for and tried alot of methods. But either they can't satisfy my requirements or they just can't simply work.
- Most simple and direct way I've tried is creating a oledb connection to the Excel file in the following codes...
Function TestUploadData1(ByVal vFile As String) As String Dim Oleda As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter Dim Olecn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection Dim dt1 As DataTable
Olecn = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection( _ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & vFile & ";" & _ "Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes") Olecn.Open()
Dim ExcelCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT INTO [ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};Server=(local);Database=dbSSC;Trusted_Conn ection=yes].[tblOutstanding] FROM [Report$];", Olecn) ExcelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Olecn.Close() End Function
But from the above codes I kept getting the error "Could not find installable ISAM." at the line Olecn.Open(). I've tried to set the registry to C:WindowsSystem32msexcl40.dll but to no avail...
- I've tried another method using the OpenRowSet in the following codes Function TestUploadData2(ByVal vFile As String) As String Dim cn As SqlConnection Dim cm As SqlCommand Dim strSQL As String cn = New SqlConnection("server=localhost; user ID=accessSSC; password=accessSSC541; database=dbSSC")
cn.Open()
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblOutstanding SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=" & vFile & ";HDR=Yes','SELECT * FROM [Report$]')" cm = New SqlCommand(strSQL, cn) cm.ExecuteNonQuery()
cn.Close() End Function
For the above codes, I kept getting the 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." at the line cm.ExecuteNonQuery() and I've tried to disable the Ad Hoc settings in the registry and tried to create a link server but to no avail as well...
- I've tried DTS but I'd need to DTS package to run whenever the users upload a file. Is there an easy way that I can run the designated DTS package to run through my .Net web application?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Keith Chang
