Recurring Issue - OPENROWSET For Excel Query Stops Working , Cured By Restart Of SQL Server
May 25, 2007
Hi,
I am having a recurring issue that involves a stored proc using OPENROWSET to query an excel file. I used the surface area config to enable this on the server, and made sure that is still set. After an undetermined amount of time, the OPENROWSET query starts failing with this message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
I corrected this previously by restarting the SQL server, but not before I checked permissions, the excel file itself, etc, and that was the last thing to try.
I am using SQL 2005 with SP1 installed - my primary approach to tackling this issue is to install the SP2, but I did not find this bug referenced in the fixes, and was wondering if anyone else had further insight.
Thanks,
Darrell Young

Hi All
We built a Cache component that take advantage of the SQL Server 2005 query notification mechanism, all went well , we tested the component in a console application , and notifications kept coming for as long time as the console application ran.
When we initiate our Cache Component in our web service global.asx application start event , the query notification works for a few minutes , but if we came after 10 minutes or so , we stoped getting notifications from sql, the SQL Server queue is empty , and all is showing that there is nothing wrong on the DB side...
Our Cache component is a Singleton class , that perform all registrations ,catch the notification events and resubscribe for notifications.
What can be the problem? is our Cache component object are being collected by GC?
Does IIS disposes the SQL Connection that the Query notification uses?
We are on a crisis...
Thanks in advance.

I have had my site running for several months now. My pages retrieve data from the SQL Server on the same machine. Today my users are are getting the message "SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
I have made sure that the credentials are correct. I can use those credentials to create a DSN on the server. So I don't know where to look for the problem. Help please!

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to query an excel file and I get a mistake. The query is as follows:
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:ExcelFile.xls', 'select * from Sheet1')
and I get the following error message:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Book1'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IColumnsInfo::GetColumnsInfo returned 0x80004005: ].
I'm thanking any help that you can give.
Thanks,
Oscar.

I was trying to migrate an ASP application from Access to SQL Server 2005 express, and found surprisingly that some code stops working which would seem to be independent of the data source. For example:
qtext = "SELECT MainText, TextType FROM MessageText WHERE [etc. etc. -- the query is OK]"
rsMain.open qtext, dbcon, , , adCmdText
if not (rsMain.BOF and rsMain.EOF) then
rsMain.MoveFirst
do while not rsMain.EOF
select case rsMain.fields(1).value
case 1
session("headline") = rsMain.fields(0).value
case 2
introtext = rsMain.fields(0).value
case 6
helptext = rsMain.fields(0).value
end select
rsMain.MoveNext
loop
end if
rsMain.Close
"rsMain" is an ADO recorset which defaults to a forward-only cursor as opened above; dbcon is an ADO database connection. Nothing fancy; and it has been working for years as expected with Access. But the recordset seems to behave differently when SQL Server is the data source (even though the whole point of ADO is to provide a level of abstraction, and I expected it not to change.) In the code above, checking the value of "rsMain.Fields(1).value" causes "rsMain.Fields(0).value" to disappear or become inaccessible. As a simple debug exercise, I tried response.writing "rsMain.Fields(0).value", a block of text, prior to the select case block, and it works fine once (as long as rsMain.Fields(1).value has not been accessed), but then a second write comes up empty.
Is it reasonable to expect that ADO recordsets and cursors function differently if SQL server is the data source vs. Access? Is this documented anywhere?

Hello,
I responded to a very old discussion thread & afraid I buried it too deep.
I have studied the article: How to Pass a Variable to a Linked Query (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q314520)
but I have not gotten all the ''''' + @variable syntax right.
Here is my raw openrowset with what I am aiming at.
Code Snippet
-- I want to use some kind of variable, like this to use in the file:
DECLARE @FIL VARCHAR(65)
SET @FIL = 'C:company foldersDocumentationINVENTORY.xls;'
--
SELECT FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);DBQ=C:company foldersDocumentationINVENTORY.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [Inventory$]')
AS DT
Anyone game? Many thank-yous, in advance.
Kind Regards,
Claudia.

I created some test data in two tables. Then I went to one of the tables and right clicked then Selected Script Table asSelect ToNew Query Editor Window. I then cleared the generated data and selectedDesign Query in Editor. I then picked both tables in the 'Add Table' window and picked 'Add'. This produced two windows and I made the links I needed and clicked OK. This generated the SQL I wanted and it works great! But when I close the SQL Express and then re-open it the SQL does not work! I open SQL Express and selectFileOpenFile and pick the SQL I had just saved. Then I pick Execute I get the following message.
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'dbo.FileData'
How can I save SQL that works and then not be able to use it?
Beats Me,

Hi, recently I encountered the following problem:
I tried to execute a stored procedure on the newly installed SQL 2005 Server (now on x64 Win Server 2003) which imports an Excel-File into a DB table.
We use OPENROWSET to access the Excel data. But I recognized this is dependent on Jet OLE DB which seems is not available for x64 windows.
Is there another way to import excel data using a stored procedure.
thank you in advance, rene

I've been coding for a few weeks now, building an ASP.NET application. ran the aspnet_regsql.exe wizard and it created my table and procedures correctly within the live SQL 2005 server being run by my host (ASPNIX.COM). I've been able to run my app just fine locally saving to my remote SQL server. However, now that I've moved my code onto my hosted server, my app stopped working. You would think this would "jus work" since I've been using the same SQL server throughout...BUT NOoooo! I've scoured the net trying to find any hint about what might be happening. The ONLY thing I've been able to find is a story in the May issue of asp.netPRO that says "Once the scripts have been executed, grant the user account used to access the database from the Web application Execute permissions on all the new stored procedures and Selection permissions on the views that were created"This may be my problem, but I haven't figured out how to accomplish this. Within the SQl Server Management Studio Express, I can pull up the properties of each stored procedure and place a check next to my "USER" account. However it does not appear to be saved.My symptoms at this point are:It will not log me in under accounts I'd already created.

I have a stored procedure which does a simple select joining 3 tables.
This had been working fine for weeks and then just stopped returning any rows even though data existed for it to return.
After re-compiling the procedure, it worked fine as before.
Does anyone know of any reason why a procedure would need recompiling like this?
We have been doing data restores and also dropping/recreating tables during this development. Would any of this affect a procedure?

I have a few reports that suddenly stopped printing.
Nothing changed on the report server, and one minute they could print, the other they couldn't
I have one report that is 4 pages in preview and six when it prints. The users press the print control on the web page and the print dialog comes up, they select a printer and the printing messagebox comes up. Then it will print a couple of pages VERY SLOWLY... and eventually will hang at the 3rd page.
IT appears it is just spooling in the printer control viewer...
Other similiar reports that use the same query but a different parameter, work just fine.
I have rebuilt and redployed the report. The problem is happening on both my live and test environments.
I have looked through this forum but not found an answer. I did delete and re-isntall the client print control.
I have turned the client logging on. But no errrors show up anywhere.
I am running ssrs 2005 on both machines. test machine has win2003 sp1 , sql 2005 sp2 AND hotfix's
live machine has win2003 and sql 2000 latest sp.
I need help!
TIA

I have a working set of parameters, when they are all visible. However, when I change the second parameter to hidden it stops working.
First Parameter - Contains static values 'MTD' & Daily
Second Parameter - has available values and a default. Set up to be invalidated when the First parameter changes... like i say it works beautifully when not hidden.
Third Parameter - has an expression takes the value of the 2nd parameter value, removes the first character off and then converts the remainder to a date and uses it as its default value.
It based on this webpage: URL....However, when i set the second parameter to hidden it no longer works.

Poor Performance Temporarily Cured by Re-booting SQL Server
Please can you help?
SQL Server 2000.
Accessed by VB.Net 2003.
Server set up by SQL consultant (who is no longer available).
We have a regular problem, which is most noticeable when analysing data (rather than data inserts/deletions) for producing xml or csv files or reports, even though the amount of data is relatively small. However structure of database means that there are still quite a lot of records and a lot of links between tables (database is currently being redesigned but in the mean time the problem still exists).
The problem is that access slows down dramatically and in some cases all but stops (one example is a csv file being produced where only a few lines have been output in 30 minutes). In every case the symptoms can be solved by re-booting the SQL server, after which the entire csv file is output in 10 minutes. Obviously though we wish to solve the problem and not just the symptom.
Additional information:
Transaction logs are backed up at 13:00 and in the evening (both periods of very low usage).Full backup is run in the evening and at 13:00 (both periods of very low usage), with integrity check performed prior to full backup. Database is optimized after the full backup including shrinking the database leaving 15% of the data space free.

I've setup a two node Cluster Server (non-shared storage) with a file sharing witness. I'm testing some of the different failover scenarios to see that everything is working properly. Everything works fine until I try testing the failure of the SQL Server service. When I stop the SQL Service on the primary server, it fails over to the secondary server as expected. I then start the service on the (now) secondary server and it comes back online as the secondary server. I then try to test that the service will fail back over when I stop the service on the new primary server.
However, when I stop the service, the secondary server now shows "resolving" and never comes back online. When I bring the service back up on the primary server, the secondary now shows as secondary instead of resolving. So to see if it's something about failing over from one server to another, I do a manual failover making the original primary server the primary again and everything is as it was originally.
I then stop the service on the primary server, but the secondary server now says resolving and the AG will not become available again until I start the service on the primary server.
It seems that when I first configured the quorum it worked fine the first failover scenario, then stopped working. I then added the file sharing witness, and failover worked the first time again, but not after that. For some reason after the initial failover it won't automatically failover again after that.
Config:
Servers: Windows Server 2012 Standard
SQL : SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SP1

Hello,
I am using the following code to retrieve data from an AS400 datasource. I have already setup the DSN connection(TestDSN) which is working just fine and I am able to connect and look at the data by creating linked-table in MS Access.
SELECT a.* from OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'DSN=TestDSN', 'select * from mylibrary.mytable') as a
Now the problem is I need to browse the data from SQL server, but when I use the above TSQL I get the following error message.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the error.].
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Anybody knows how to get this to work?
BTW, I tried MSDASQL provider to access a SQL server and it worked so it does not seem to be a problem with the driver registeration.
Thanks,
LOA

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

I've created a stored procedure that accepts two arguments: the name of an Excel workbook (@workbookBillRun), and the name of the first worksheet found in that workbook (@worksheetBillRun).
Through dynamic SQL, I'm able to construct a statement that pulls out data.
SELECT @sqlBillRun = '
SELECT [ACCTNUM], [INVNUM], [RECURRING], [NON RECURRING], [USAGE],[DISCOUNT],[TAXES]
FROM OPENROWSET (''Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0'', ''Excel 12.0;;Database=' +@workbookBillRun+ ';HDR=YES'',
''SELECT * from [' +@worksheetBillRun+ '$]'')'
The workbook name will always be known: when the user uploads the file, I change the name to match a certain pattern. Example: 2011-08 AUG.xlsx
However, I won't always know the worksheet name. The workbook *should* contain just one worksheet; and the worksheet *should* be named identically to the workbook (2011-08 AUG), but it may not be named as such. And if I pass an invalid worksheet name, the code above will fail.
I've created error handling to alert the user of an incorrectly named sheet. However, I was curious whether I could extract the name of the first worksheet in the workbook from within T-SQL.

I have a directory with images and a table in my DB with the path of each file. The main application allow me to create reports where I can display an image, so I was thinking to use a query like:
SELECT [ID]
,[PT_CODE]
,[FILE_PATH],
CASE WHEN [FILE_PATH] IS NOT NULL THEN
(SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK [FILE_PATH], SINGLE_BLOB) TT)
END
AS IMAGE_LOADED
FROM [DB].[dbo].[TABLE_MR_FILES]But I keep getting the error:
Incorrect syntax near 'FILE_PATH'.I have try multiple combinations without luck to make the OPENROWSET read the path stored in the column [FILE_PATH]. What am I missing?
Note: I am using MSSQL 2012. I don't want to import the images into the DB just load them in the fly as needed by the report runned from the application. I have full access to the DB so if a store procedure is the solution I can go with it.

I have a test server (TEST1) running SQL 2012 and Windows 2012R2. One of the developers wants to use OPENROWSET to read in data from an Excel 2010 file (an xlsx file).
I have loaded the Microsoft Drivers in "AccessDatabaseEngine_64.exe" and enabled the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries option in SQL.
This is the sample code we are working with:
SELECT
X.MEMBID
FROM OPENROWSET(
'MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=etworkserverFolder1Folder2MEMBIDs.xlsx',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'
) AS X
I can run the sample query from my laptop with SSMS (I have admin rights) and I can also run it as SA from my laptop. So all is good, right?
But if I RDC into TEST1, I cannot run the query. I get this error:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".But wait! It gets better.
I can run the query as SA from TEST1.
And of course, the developer can't run it either.
And it works fine in the production server.
I'm thinking the basics are there but something isn't right in some permission somewhere.
