Run A Query On ONLY The Records In Spreadsheet (was SQL Question)
Nov 10, 2004
Ok, so my boss handed me a spreadsheet that contains about 1,000 records as retrieved by a SQL query.
My boss now wants me to run a query on ONLY the records given to me in the spreadsheet. He wants me to grab two more fields of data for each of the records in the sheet.
Naturally, my first question to my boss is, "Why don't you just give me the SQL code that was used for that query, and I'll just add a string or two to grab those additional fields? ...And then we'll run the new SQL?"
My boss says, "Isn't there a way to run a query on just the records I've given you? Someone in another department has been able to do that before."
I've never heard of this. Can anyone provide insight into how I might accomplish what my boss wants before I tell him he's full of crap?

See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.

I have a query similar to the following. The intent of this query is to retrieve the top 6 records meeting the specified criteria (LOGTYPENAME = 'Process Status Start' OR LOGTYPENAME = 'Process Status End' ) based on most recent dates. Please keep in mind that I expect to return up to 6 records for each unique LogProcessName. This could be thousands of different LogProcessNames with up to 6 records for each.
1) The table I am executing against currently is very large in size and thus takes a long time to execute against. It would seem there must be a more efficient query to get the results I am looking for?
2) CTE doesn't work on SQL 2000. I need a query that does.
3) I cannot modify the database itself in the process.
;WITH cte AS (
SELECT [LogProcessName], [LogBody], [LogDate], [LogGUID], row_number()
OVER(PARTITION BY [LogProcessName]
ORDER BY [LogDate] DESC)
AS RN
FROM [LOGTABLE]
WHERE [LogTypeGUID] IN (
SELECT LogTypeGUID
FROM LOGTYPE
WHERE LogTypeName = 'Process Status Start'
OR LogTypeName = 'Process Status End' ) )
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE RN = 1 OR RN = 2 OR RN = 3 OR RN = 4 OR RN = 5 OR RN = 6
ORDER BY [LogProcessName] DESC, [LogDate] DESC
Does anybody else have any idea that would yield the results that I am looking for and take into account items 1-3 above?
Thanks in advance.

I need to take my 'table stats'every week and put them into an excel spreadsheet so that I can track the changes of my table sizes over time (basically I am watching to see how many rows are in each table). What I was planning on doing was to create a view of my table stats that I could then use DTS to transfer on a weekly basis into my excel spreadsheet. I have only used DTS a couple of times, and I have not ever tried it with excel. Now the problem: Everytime my DTS job runs it appends the data to the end of the origional columns that were created. Since my database has over 5000 tables these columns grow quite quickly. What I would like to do is set it up so that everytime the job runs it puts the new data into new columns in the same worksheet of my excel file. Is this possible? Any suggestions?

I'm getting an issue on a MS SQL DTS package that is doing a simple export from a MS SQL table to and Excel spreadsheet. I have three of these running but one is failing. I’m using DTSRun to run all three of these DTS packages. The only recent change was to the DTS package to fix the first step to delete the data in the spreadsheet tab named “Results”. The process works correctly in development (on different servers). The same active directory ID is being used on all three DTS packages and all three do the same i.e. export data to an excel spreadsheet in the same file location but with different names. I’ve Google’d this but only came across access issues which does not make since since it is writing the other two spreadsheets just fine. Curious.
Error I See:

Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong or need to do to resolve my issue. I having problems with one of the columns in an excel spreadsheet that I am trying to upload into the system. One of the columns contain values of both text and numbers such as 'ABC123', 'ABC124', '123456' etc. When I try uploading the sheet into SQL Server 2000 using DTS, the system removes all characters from the one column that I am having problems with. So entry 'ABC123' for example would be truncated to '123'. I tried formatting the column that I am having trouble with in excel to 'General' format as well as tried to transform the column to type varchar in SQL Server while using the DTS wizard but still had no luck. The problem is that SQL server thinks that the column is a float type column from the source and therefore truncates any characters.

Hello,
I have some XML that I'm passing through a variable into the XML task in SSIS. I also have an xsd file that I'm using and I want to validate (I think) that XML and have the XML task output an excel document. I've got the xsd file all set up in the "second operand" part of the XML task and the XML I'm passing in as a variable and that's in the "input" part of the XML task. My question is are there any tricks to make an excel document with these two things? Is there something I need to do in the xsd file to tell it that I want excel? Below is my XML and xsd:
XML:

Hi,
Two problems / questions I could do with some help on please......
1). How do you clear a spreadsheet before loading it ? I am sending a spreadsheet by Email on a regual basis. Each time I run my SSIS package the data is appended to that of the previous run. I need just the contents of this data load to populate the spreadsheet each time. I have tried various methods / techniques for achieveing this so I just need to know the accepted method. Sorry if this is very basic ( as it should be ?!) but I seem to be missing the point somewhere.
2). I have tried to resolve issue 1 above by having an empty 'template' spreadsheet and copying that one over the top of the previously populated one. I get an error saying that the source spreadsheet ..'is in use by another processes.' Amusingly, as a test, I can delete it but I cannot copy it !
Are there any decent workthroughs on working with destination excel speadhseets ? Im struggling.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi there,
I am able to import an excel spreadsheet into a table in sql server 2005 using SqlBulkCopy. The only thing that bothers me here is how to check duplicate entries and throw an error to the user regarding the duplicate entries. In the table in sql, there is no primary keys. There are five columns and the way I will have to find the duplicates is to match all those 5 columns. Since the excel spreadsheet can have 40 to 500 entries, how can I check those dupes.

-I am selecting Jet 4.0 as the provider
-Product name is Excel

I am looking for a way to import data from a CSV or Excel spread sheet and add the data directly into an Extended field instead of a regular field in the table. for example: let's say I have a comma delimited field with the following info:
NDC_M_FORMULARY,CUSTOM_EXTSIG,Custom EXT SIG
NDC_M_FORMULARY,DRUG_CODE,Alternate key, user defined
NDC_M_FORMULARY,CHARGE_CODE,From the Charge code table
The first column is the table name
Second Column is the Column name in the table
The third column contains the description that I would like to store in the Value in the Extended Property Name "MS_Description"
BTW,I did find the following T-SQL which returns the Extended description for a specific Extended Property
Here it is:
SELECT
[Table Name] = i_s.TABLE_NAME,
[Column Name] = i_s.COLUMN_NAME,
[Description] = s.value
FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS i_s
LEFT OUTER JOIN
[code]...

I am using SSIS to export data from a table to an Excel spreadsheet. This all seems to work put just fine. The user would like a data in column B1 to say when the spreadsheet was created. Is there a way within SSIS to do this. I was looking at using a .NET script but it accesses the spreadsheet as a table so I do not know how to insert data above the headings in row 1. I believe the OleDB provider using column 1 as it column names for the table. Maybe I am just going about the whole think wrong?

Is there a limit to the number of fields that can be set in an OleDB Update Statement?
This works with 6 fields:
cmd.CommandText = "Update [Sheet2$A2:AP2] Set F1 = '1', F2 = '35062', F3 = '6', F4 = '620000.0000', F5 = '200000.0000', F6 = '700000.0000'"
This Fails with 7 fields:
cmd.CommandText = "Update [Sheet2$A2:AP2] Set F1 = '1', F2 = '35062', F3 = '6', F4 = '620000.0000', F5 = '200000.0000', F6 = '700000.0000', F7 = '123'"
The range should be plenty big with A2:AP2. In the end I'm trying to push 42 fields.
The complete segment is:
Dim ExcelConnection As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & ExcelFileName & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO"""
Dim conn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ExcelConnection)
Dim cmd As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand()
conn.Open()
cmd.Connection = conn
cmd.CommandText = "Update [Sheet2$A2:AP2] Set F1 = '1', F2 = '35062', F3 = '6', F4 = '620000.0000', F5 = '200000.0000', F6 = '700000.0000', F7 = '1234'"

Hi all,
I have two tables in SQL Server 2005 and excel sheet ( Office 2003).
The colums of excel sheet are: name ,ssn, flagbit ( Note: Excel sheet contains data already)
Columns of table_one and table_two are: name ,ssn
I want to compare the ssn field from table_one and ssn in excelsheet_one, if it matches , then flagbit in excelsheet_one should say"T1".
If i compare ssn field from table_two and ssn in excelsheet_one, if it matches, the flagbit in excelsheet_one should say "T2".
Ex:
Table_one (input) ---- excelsheet_one ( Output)
ssn name ---- ssn name flagbit
11 NYC ---- 11 NYC T1
Both the tables refers same excelsheet_one and have to update the same flag bit column in excelsheet.
Basically, i want to compare table and excel sheet, then if it matches, then update excel sheet.
Does anybody how to do this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I got a problem.
I installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 version.
And I created a Compact database.
I created an connection in SSMSE to connect the database and opened a query form.
then, i run the following sql:
Select * from Table1
It returned 3 records to me.
After that, I used program to insert record into this table.
Then i ran this sql again, it still show me 3 records.
I closed the query form, and re-created a new query form, then run the sql, it returned 4 records to me.
Why? It's very strange and difficult to operate, right?
Is there anyone know how to make the SSMSE to return whole records without any close query form and re-create query form operation?
Thanks a lot!
And Merry X'max!!!

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.
