Data Import Excel XML Defaults Which File Governs Excel Defaults?
Jul 21, 2015
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

I am using SQL 2k and the spreadsheet is excel 2003
I try to import data from excel file, my excel file have column called Name, the value of this column is text: ex: Binh Chanh, 1,2,3,4,5.....When i import into sqlserver 2005, these rows which have value 1,2,3,4,5 (number) , now have Null value in SQL server 2005.
I am using VS2012 and creating a package on a 64bit machine to import some data from a .xlsx file. My question is that I am getting an error for the Excel connection manager, do I need to install some kind of excel drive or excel itself on the machine in order to be able to import the data?
Is it possible to import data from an Excel spreadsheet using OPENROWSET or OPENDATASOURCE without having to explicitly define the filepath of the source file? Currently, I have this piece of code within a sproc:
FROM OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0; Database=C:WeeklySchedule.xls', 'SELECT * FROM [Master$C5:Q65536]') AS XL
LEFT JOIN [dbo].[PartMaster] ON (RIGHT([XL].[CODE], 7) = [PartMaster].[SKU])
WHERE [SKU] IS NOT NULL
AND [CODE] IS NOT NULL
AND [LAMPS] IS NOT NULL
AND [LAMPS] > 0
AND [LampTypeID] = @LampTypeID
I would like to remove the hardcoded reference 'Database=C:WeeklySchedule.xls' and replace it with a parameter for the filepath. Is this possible? This is in SQL Server 2000. Also, if there is a way to do this with DTS I'd be open to doing it that way too.
Hi, I have a excel file which i want to import the data to sql server... The sql server Data type for that particular column is
varchar and it has a contraint too like the data should be in this fashion 00000-0000 or 00000...
but when i try to import the data from the excel to sql server... 08545 just becomes 8545 (cause excel is treating it as a float) and so my insert fails...
I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.
I have a 64-bit box with SQL 2000 and 2005 installed on it. At the command prompt, typing BCP -v gives me the 8.0 version, not 9.0. I really want the 9.0 version as the default. Obviously typing "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90 oolsinncp" gives me the 9.0 version.
My PATH variable looks like this: Path=C:WINDOWSsystem32;C:WINDOWS;C:WINDOWSSystem32Wbem;C:Program FilesAT I TechnologiesATI Control Panel;C:Program FilesIntelDMIX;C:Program Files ( x86)Microsoft SQL Server80ToolsBINN;C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Ser ver80ToolsBinn;C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinn;C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Toolsinn;C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90Toolsinn;C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSBinn;C :Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90ToolsBinnVSShellCommon7IDE;C: Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies
Do I dare change the order so it looks in the 9.0 directories first? Or is this by design?
Hi! I´m experiencing problems with datepart(weekday,...) function. In particular with week 54 of 2000... (by the way, don´t make a bet about that, because Jan 1st. was saturday (last day of week) and year 2000 was a leap year!!!, so Dec 31 became the one and only case of 54 weeks... in our calendar). Is there a way I can fix sunday as first day of week, instead using SET DATEFIRST in every procedure? (because "somebody" puts MONDAY as a default in spanish) Thanx in advance, César.
I'm having some problems when trying to import an external table into my SQL Server 7.0 DB. When date fields are being created the datatype is being set to smalldatetime which is causing errors because some of the data in the source table is using dates proir to 1900.
Is there a way I can set the datatype to be set as datetime instead of smalldatetime?
I have a stored procedure that has @BeginDate and @EndDate as parameters. I created a report with a default for both. They run just fine. After I deployed, I created Linked Reports and wanted to override the defaults. In the defaults, I tried to put in GetDate() for @BeginDate and GetDate()+10 for the @EndDate so this can be passed in the where statement of the stored procedure. I get 'Syntax error converting datetime from character string.'
What I assume is that if I override the default, the stored procedure will process what I put in the @BeginDate and @EndDate parameters.
The where statement looks like:
and (m.BeginDate >= @BeginDate) and (m.EndDate <= @EndDate)
I'm using Reporting Services 2005 and SQL Server 2005.
I have a column which uses a DEFAULT as GETDATE in one of my tables. When I execute a DTS package to insert data into it, the column values are all the same, but if I use SSIS, the dates differ slightly (by a few ticks after several rows, but not a consistent amount of rows).
Is there an explanation for this difference, and how can I correct this problem?
I have a table, tbl1:create table tbl1 ([field1] [char] (16) NULL DEFAULT (' '),[field2] [char] (6) NULL DEFAULT (' ')).When I do a select * into tbl2 from tbl1, tbl2 does not have defaults.Is there any settings I have to keep on when I do a select * into?Any help will be appreciated.
I have parameters (type=datetime) on a report whose values are populated from a query. This query just pulls a list of all the dates (all Sunday dates) in a table. I have the parameter set up to have the date as the value and then a string representation of the value as the label (ie 2007-11-25) to make it easier for the user.
I want to set up a default for this parameter that essentially takes today's date and calculates the previous Sunday's date so the parameter drop down defaults to last Sunday's date.
My expression works fine just to display it on the report in a text box. It calculates and displays last Sunday's date perfectly. BUT, it doesn't work when I use it in the expression for the parameter default - Im' assuming because the latter cares about data type?
In short all those if statements calculate the day of last Sunday's date based on Now()...so if it's Monday, subtract 1, if it's Tuesday, subtract 2...etc.... BUT this returns the time also - argh! Formats!
How can I format this so it will equate to my oracle date populating in my parameter list? Do I need to match the output of the above statement to the LABEL (ie, string) or the actual VALUE (ie, date). I've tried both. I've hacked at this thing for an hour and I'm sure it's so obvious!
I have a problem when configuring SharePoint and RS on two boxes. (If install everything in one box is fine)
I have SQL SP2 + RS in one server and SharePoint on the other server. I've followed every step in the SQL 2005 Online Book to configure the RS and SharePoint including:
How to: Install the Windows SharePoint Services Object Model on a Report Server Computer. (Done) How to: Configure Service Accounts (Reporting Services Configuration). (Done)
However, I got an error when click "Set server defaults" in SharePoint Central Admin: An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode.
In ReadMe of SQL SP2, see below: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/d/c/fdcb3a53-0cb1-4e67-a1b6-45b89b3c59cf/readme_rsaddin.htm#_rsshare_known_problems_7
--- 6.4 Service account requirements for Reporting Services
Restrictions on using built-in accounts apply to some deployment topologies of Reporting Services that include a report server running in SharePoint integrated mode. The following combination of factors will result in service account requirements:
The report server is integrated with a SharePoint farm comprising more than one computer.
The report server and SharePoint Central Administration Web site run on separate computers.
In this scenario, if either the Report Server Web service or Windows service runs under a built-in account such as NetworkService, the Grant database access option in SharePoint Central Administration will not work correctly. Consequently, accessing any Reporting Services feature through a SharePoint site will result in the following error:
"An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> Server was unable to process request. --> Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text.xml'."
To avoid this error, choose one of the following approaches:
On the computer that hosts the report server, continue to run the Report Server Web service as NetworkService and add the built-in account, such as NT_AUTHORITYNetworkService to the WSS_WPG Windows group.
Configure the service accounts to run under a domain user account as follows:
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server.
Click Windows Service Identity, click Windows Account, type a domain user account, and click Apply.
Click Web Service Identity, for Report Server, click New, type an application pool name, click Windows Account, type a domain user account, and click Apply.
Reset IIS.
Restart the Windows service.

I did try it out but still get the error when clicking "Set server defaults" link in SharePoint Central Admin.
Is there something wrong with the two boxes installation???
