Hi!
I'm relatively new to sql.I want to import data from an excel file into a sql table.Could I use Openquery?In this case,what should I specify at the linked_server parameter?All I know is the SQL server name,\tmav035a.
Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to use linked server to import big amount of data(around 9 million rows) from mysql to a sql 2005 table.
I plan to create a stored procedure and use job agent to run it at off-peak time everyday. The SP is like:
.....
Truncate table sqltblA;
Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3)
Select col1, col2, col3
From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB')
.....
But when I tried to CREATE the above SP from management studio, seems the sql server was trying to get all data from table mytblB and ended up with failure after several minutes hang. The error message is sth. like "running out memeory". BTW, during that several minutes hang, I can't query mytblB using mysql's tool as well. it seems to me that table got locked.
However if i try to change the returned result to 100,000 rows by changing script to
Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3)
Select col1, col2, col3
From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB Limit 100000')
The SP could be created without any problem and running the SP could get the data in table sqltblA.
But that's not what I want, I need all rows instead of a certain amount of rows.
Does anyone know what's going on there when I try to CREATE that SP and any solution to it?
Plus I tried to use SSIS as well. When I'm configuring the DataReader source, which uses ADO.NET's ODBC option to connect to mysql, if its sqlcommand is "select * from mytblB" without the Limit key word, then the configuration page will hang there as well and table mytblB is not accessible by using mysql tool. I'm just sick of wasting time on that and that's why I chose to use SP istead of SSIS. But same result. :-(
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?)
l've the following situation,
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.

Yong Boon, Lim
p/s : The excel header is at the row 7.
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.
Hi
I want to import excel in SSIS via sql command and change the data types. can anyone guide me on this or give me some sample command on how to change datatypes explicitly.
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?
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'm needing to import a .csv file into a SQL database. This needs to be done through automation so I need the DOS commands, if any. Or if someone knows a better way, feel free to enlighten me.
I've tried looking in books online for SQL server but haven't had much luck.
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 all,
Can anyone suggest a method of importing an Excel spreadsheet into SQL as a table?
TIA,

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??
View 3 Replies View Relatedi want a simple way (straight forward) to import data from excel to sql, not only this, but the excel file is not located on the SQL server itself.
my situation is the a person upload a file via asp.net and the file should be imported to excel(i want to use sql to transform and not parse in .net, then insert into database).
This can be done?
Thanks in advance
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
Hi:
I imported data from Excel to a table on SQL Server throught Data Transformation Services.

Hi:
I am writing a custom application which will allow users to upload data in a Excel to SQLServer.
The problem I have is that Excel can come with a number of worksheets. I would ideally like to read from the default work sheet - is there a way I can specify that my code should only pick up the default worksheet?
Thanks,
