I want to read from this file from T-SQL, I saw in a previous post that its possible to do it using OPENROWSET (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190312.aspx)
 
I don€™t have a clue what parameters i must use on the OPENROWSET T-sql command (provider name to ttx ?)
 
 I would appreciate if anyone could give an example of how to do this

MDF File Cannot Be Read By SQL Server 2005
Newbee question: I am trying to use some of the "101" samples in VS 2005 with SQL Server 2005.  These samples use SQL server express MDF files.

The error is: "... you cannont open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.ext. You must re-create the database."

Do I need to install SQL server express?  What are the issues with installing express when I am already running SQL Server 2005?

How do I update or "re-create" the express MDF database file in SQL Server 2005?

Thanks!

Maybe it worked once, but in most time it doesn't work, query like below

  select top 10 *

eibcactive.xls',
'select * from [crap2$]')


I got error

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)".


but the same query can run without any problem on a SQL 2000 server run on a server in the same network.

Any idea?

Import Excel-File (OPENROWSET) On X64 SQL Server
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.

OPENROWSET T-SQL Function
Hi everyone,
I have some doubts about  OPENROWSET T-SQL function . According to my knowledges about this, openrowset function provide us to use a data from a different Server only that time that we use this function. After we use this function, there is no any linked server trace on the local server. So is this true ?
I see that everyone use different parameter for this function. For instance, everyone firstly use OLE DB name and then the second srvprovider name changes programmer to programmer, so why ?
And lastly, I wonder about the relationship between ad hoc method and openrowSet function.

Thanks

Restoring 2000 Backups On 2005 With Read-only Db And File Groups
We have a set of databases some are fully read-only others have read-only file groups, is there any way to restore backups of these taken on an MSDE 2000 to an SQL Express 2005 instance?

When doing the inplace upgrade we change these to read-write before the upgrade and set them back after the upgrade.

These databases are used in the field by customers althought the controlled upgrade requires a backup before (and blocks if it fails) and tries a backup after if the post upgrade backup fails (due to disk space) we might need to recover from this odd situation.

The only solution I have is install MSDE some place restore to this then do the controlled upgrade again, any other ideas?

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET Does Not Respect ORDER BY Clause On SQL Server 2005 EE
Hi,
I need to pass data from a SQL Server data base to an Access data base. To do this I use the OPENROWSET as followed:
FR


INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:Aux.mdb'; 'Admin'; '',Test) (Id, Name, TypeId) SELECT Id,Name,TypeId
FROM Test
ORDER BY TypeId


FR

On SQL Server 2000 or MSDE the data is transfered as expected, respecting the specified order. But when I run the same clause on a SQL 2005 EE the data is transfered, but the order is not respected.
So my question is if I have to activate an option for the order to be respected or if this is a bug.

Best regards,

CREATE TABLE tests (Results varchar(255) NOT NULL)
INSERT INTO tests EXEC('master..xp_cmdshell ''ISQL -E -Q"dbcc checkdb(master)"''')

OPENROWSET On XML File Through HTTP
Hi everyone,
 

I am currently using the OPENROWSET command to read a XML file.
 

-- Use OPENROWSET to read an XML file from the file system

SELECT @xml = BulkColumn

FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c:file.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) TempXML
 

However, the file I wish to process is being generated externally and published through a web server. The file is constantly being updated, and I need to have the latest data frequently. Is it possible to do something along the lines of:
 

-- Use OPENROWSET to read an XML file from the file system
SELECT @xml = BulkColumn

FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'http://webserver/file.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) TempXML
 

If it is not possible, can someone recommend the best method to copy/download the file? I have considered standalone Windows Services and utilizing SQL Server. Are there significant pros or cons to either approach? Are there other methods I am not awere of? Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
 

Thanks,

From Sql Column To File, OPENROWSET?
Hi There

I am using OPENROWSET to import a file from disk to a varbinary(max) column in sql server.

However as far as i can see OPENROWSET is only to import into Sql Server. However i need to reverse this as well, by that i mean export a varbinary(max) column data to a file on disk. How can i do this ? (The file is a compress text file).

How does this work for file types, i mean you can import any file as binary but when you export it back to disk will the file typr still work, will a .xls or a.exe imprted and exported like this still function 100%.

Thanx?

Format File For OPENROWSET As XML
Greetings,

For our user app, I was thinking of creating a format file that will be referred in the INSERT INTO OPENROWSET syntax. I do not want to put the format file on the file server where the user might accidentally delete it. So I was thinking of creating the FORMATFILE as an xml document and "embbed" it into an xml type field of a system table? Is that possible or am I stretching it here. Then when I do my INSERT INTO .....OPENROWSET command I will refer to that xml document in the xml type field which I can maybe create as a @xmldoc and feed it to my INSERT INTO command?

OPENROWSET, Querying External Text File
Hi,

I have to write a query that queries a database table and a text file wich is delimited using fixed width values.  I have seen some examples using access or another databse but not much about a text file.  Is this the best way?  Idon't want to set up a linked server.  I want everything to be within the query.

My understanding is that I should be able to do it since a text file can be a valed OLE DB datasource, but I am having trouble finding example syntax.  Can all my connection info be passed with the OPENROWSET function?  Can I do it by just writing a query?  Or do I have to set up and configure other things?

Any guidence, tips, advice, examples, or links of syntax appreciated.

I have a Windows 2003 64-bit server running SQL 2005.  I am trying to run an OpenRowSet query, but I am getting ""cannot create instance of linked server" (null)"  The OpenRowSet I am trying to run was running perfectly fine on the same machine before we moved to SQL 2005 and runs fine on many other machines - so I do not think it is an issue with the openrowset itself. 

When I've had his issue on other machines, I have run the following:







sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; 

GO 

RECONFIGURE; 

GO 

sp_configure €˜Ad Hoc Distributed Queries€™, 1; 

GO 

RECONFIGURE; 

GO

And I could then run the Ad Hoc queries fine.  But, when I try on this machine, I get the SQL error message:

"The configuration option does not exist, or it may be an advanced option."

I looked at the settings in SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and Ad Hoc was selected; so it should be working.  I am logged in as Administrator and have sysAdmin permissions in the SQL database.  I'm not sure where else to look or what I am missing.  

I've looked many places on the web and have tried many 'solutions' without effect.

Any thoughts??

Read XML File From File System?
Anyone reading XML disk-files into SQL Server?

I have a process that I may want to do this with.

It would be a stored procedure that would read the XML attributes into 2 tables, the number of attributes could be 1-N, so I thought XML would be a good choice. Also, one of the attributes could be up to 4000 characters. I think this may limit our options, can 100-150 4000 character strings be passed in a standard call to a query/proc in SQL?

Currently the client application makes round-trip network calls to save upwards of 100 pairs of data. 1 header row, and many detail rows. All within a transaction.

I think If we move an XML file to the SQL box, then do all the import/save work on the "Server" side it would be much better. Cutting the transaction time down a lot by not doing so many round-trips at network speed...

Thoughts?
