VBA + TSQL - GO Problem Passing SQL Script Trought VBA Excel
Sep 10, 2007
Hi,
I am not sure where to post this question, because is related to both TSQL & VBA Excel.
I am working under SQL SERVER 2000, and I have a query as described below:
Code Snippet
USE mydb
SELECT Block ...
GO
ALTER TABLE Block...
GO
UPDATE Block...
SELECT Block...
If I writte the query as shown above directly in SQL SERVER, it does work.
The issue is that I am generating the code trought VBA Excel, and when passing the SQL string to SQL, I get in SQL Server Managment Studio something like:
Code Snippet
"USE mydb
SELECT Block ...
GO
ALTER TABLE Block...
GO
UPDATE Block...
SELECT Block... "
with the " marks at the beginning and at the end of the script. In order to avoid the marks ", I need to erase the new line (return) before and after the GO statement, replacing the new lines by spaces and then the code looks like this:
Code Snippet
USE mydb SELECT Block ... GO ALTER TABLE Block... GO UPDATE Block... SELECT Block...
and DOES NOT work, getting Error because of the GO statement.
Hi, I need to import an SQL string from MS Excel 2003 to SQL SERVER 2000. The string I need to import is composed by 5 different several blocks and looks like:
The detail of the SQL string is at: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=2093921&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1
I am trying to implement OJ's suggestion: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2117223&SiteID=1 to use multi - batch processing to import the string to SQL SERVER, something like:
Code Snippet Dim SqlCnt, cmd1, cmd2, cmd3 'set the properties and open a connection
cmd1="use my_db" cmd2="create table mytb" cmd3="insert into mytb"
i'll try to explain the problem with my bad english, so sorry.
In my firm i have a server (W2003 Server) with IIS 6.0 and SQL Server 2005 EE an it is joined in the main domain as all users and their workstation (window XP) are joined too.
The main role for this server is to be a web server and with IIS Manager I configured to verify user identities with Windows Integrated authentication without any anonymous access to web pages (ASP scripts).
I made a group called "Web Users" with read right on ASP scripts and his only one member is "Domain Users".
"Web Users" has of course rights to access this server from network.
This group is also a SQL Server login because it has rights to wiew an modify data at least in one db table trought ASP pages using ADO, but the problem is that they can also connect using ODBC.
Configuring SQL to accept only local connection i can avoid this, but as SQL Admin i can't connect too. So how is possible for web users interact with SQL only trought web pages ? Thank you very much
Hi,I am using a .dqy file to import some rows from a sql server 2003database to microsoft excel. Unfortunately, I have am importing morerows than excel can handle. Is there a way around this?It appears that there is no equivalent of the LIMIT(offset, number ofrows to return) function of mysql in tsql. Had there been anequivalent, I would have created multiple .dqy files, which would querythe database for pages of results as appropriate. There is an upperlimit to the number of records that there can be in the database, sothis would have been a feasible solution.Also, I must use .dqy files (or something equivalen) because thequeries are invoked from a website, and it is necessary to download theresults, sort/filter, etc. (in excel).Thanks for any suggestions.
I am developing the SSIS pacakge. I am loading the data from excel file to Sqlserver table. I have two set of excel files and each excel file belongs to one division. I want the same mapping should call both file. Basically, i wanted to pass the filename as a parameter. Any help....
Hi guys, When I thought everything is okay with this script, I got a new problem... I have a VBA's script from Excel 2003 that builds sql script and retrieves data from SQL SERVER 2000. in order to make the sql running, I need to use a multi - batch processing, to pass and execute every command line once a time.
Up to here, I am using a test case with Account number = '123456' and getting the desire results. The code below is running okay with the test case, but when changing the account number (mark as yellow in the code) to include all the accounts (or just one other account), I am getting the following ERROR: run - time error '-2147217871 (80040e31)' - [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver] time out expired.
Now, if I take the same code, with the condition that generates the ERROR, and try it into SQL Server, I get the results without errors. Thanks in advance, Aldo.
Below the code:
Code Snippet Function QuerySalesAging() '-------------------------------------------------------------- 'MUST !!! References: Microsoft ActiveX Data Object 2.1 Library '--------------------------------------------------------------
Dim ConnString As New ADODB.Connection Dim RecordSet As New ADODB.RecordSet
'Report Criterias Criteria05 = " AND " & "Accounts.ACCOUNTKEY Between " & AccountKeyAsRange ' -- ==> With AccountKeyAsRange = '123456' AND '123456' it works okay. ' -- ==> With any other value, in example AccountKeyAsRange = '123456' AND '9999999999' it get's ERROR.

' Check and drop temporary table TemporaryTableName = "CTE" ' The table is a regular one CmdLine02 = " if object_id('" & TemporaryTableName & "') is not null exec('DROP TABLE " & TemporaryTableName & "') "
CmdLine03 = " SELECT ..." CmdLine03 = CmdLine03 & " INTO " & TemporaryTableName CmdLine03 = CmdLine03 & " FROM ..." CmdLine03 = CmdLine03 & " WHERE " & "(" & Replace(Criteria05, "AND", "") & ")" CmdLine03 = CmdLine03 & " ORDER BY ..."
Can anyone please give me the equivalent tsql for sql server 2000 for the following two queries which works fine in sql server 2005

Trying to upload excel in server where excel is not installed. BIDs was there in the server, when i am trying to craete Excel source I am not able.what the workround for this.. How to upload excel without excel installed on the server.
I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table.

We have 10 sheets in Excel File and 10 sheet contains errror data. How to load 9 sheets data in to 1 destination and error data in to other destination?
I am trying to get the contents of the Excel Files dynamically and dumping into the SQL Database using SSIS. Through WMI Event Watcher, I could find when one or more Excel files dumped in a particular folder and using ForEach Loop Container I was able to take all the filenames and pass it through Variables. But at the same time in the Data Flow, I have to pass each Sheet of an Excel File to the Excel Source control and export the data to my SQL Database using OLEDB Destination.
For that I need to get the names of each sheets in an Excel File and pass it to the Excel Source Control through variables. But when I give Data Access Mode as "Table name or view name variable" and provide the variable name in that, then it is giving an error message as "A destination table name has not been provided".
And at the same time, Since I was not able to provide an static Filename (as I am passing through Variables), when I tried to map the columns in the OleDB Destination, it is not allowing me to map the columns.
So all these things I should do at Run-time using Variables in SSIS. I don't want to hard-code any filenames or Sheet names. If any one of you have a solution, please share with me.
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.
i have an SSIS package that exports to an excel file. This works fine. the problem is that it appends the data instead of overwriting the file. Is there any way to overwrite the file like you can with a flat file? I have to email the file everyweek and don't want to have to clear it out manually. Any help would be appreciated
I have a problem with retreving a excel data through excel source component.
I have source component as Excel Source which will connect to my .xls sheet. To retrieve the values from the sheet i am using a query as, "SELECT F14,F3 FROM [Charac Defn & Assgnment$]"
The column F14 is not formatted so that the format of the cell is "General" I have a different type of values in the F14 column such as "PE","PES",15,20,20.00,8888.9999 etc.. While i click on preview button of Excel source it shows only the text values and not the int or decimal values, its returning NULL for those cells. I tried to use convert function, its throwing an error as
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ There was an error displaying the preview. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Undefined function 'Convert' in expression. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
Is there any other function to change the format of the cell or i need to some thing else Please help me how to solve this issue.
When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
I have ssis package where I have excel connection manager with expression pointing to a variable which has path for location and name of excel spreadsheet to be create each with date on the name.ExcelFilePath points to variable for shared location where excel file will be saved.I have File system task for copying template excel file to destination location with date in file name.I drag and drop excel destination. Pointed to excel connection manager. Under data access mode, I have select table and view. When I try to select name of excel sheet, it says, no tables or views could be loaded. I should be able to see sheetname there so that I can map column. I only have option to create new spreadsheet. I want to use template to load data in excel file. I dont want to create new sheet. It was working before. But I opened the ssis package and its broken. I was able to see spreadsheet name before but I dont see it now even though I have not made any change to package.

I am creating an SSIS package witha a Dataflow task, which reads from an Excel source and then uses script component to dumpt the data to multiple tables in Sql Server database
I need to some how make my Excel source dynamic, that is my excel template which i would be using to map the excel columns to script component's input columns would be dynamic..
In other words, I should be able to define the Excel Source, Column Mapping Information, Precedence constraint to the Script component dynamically
I searched the list but did not see anything related.
I cannot open a file directly exported from RS in the Excel format. If I open the file in the Windows version and then close it, no need to even save it, I can then open it with the Mac version of Excel. The file size after closing is about 2K less so the RS program is adding something onto the file that the Mac version does not like. It will crash Excel when trying to open.
I cannot export the report as CSV as it will not correctly import into Excel on the Mac.
I've been googling this for a while now and can't seem to find any elegant answers.
I'm looking for an automated way to present a FORMATED Excel Spreadsheet to the Customer from a stored procedure output.
Can anyone advise me the best method of doing this - should I / can I assign an Excel Template to the DTS Task output ?
His mind is set on Excel and the formatting is basic and easy to write in a Macro which I've done, but this requires human interaction to finish the task (Automated Run Once on opening etc).
In an ideal world an individual would send an email to the Server with two formated parameters (@FromDate & @ToDate) and would be emailed back a ready formatted S/Sheet. But I believe he would be willing to just select the relevant SpreadSheet for the Daily / Weekly / Monthly periods dumped.
Good Day to all, Hope you could help me w/ my project. Im creating a DTS Package. The source data will be coming from an excel file going to my SQL table. The DTS package is scheduled to execute daily, but the source data will be coming from different excel filename. Example, today the DTS will get data from Data092506.xls. Then tomorrow, the data will be coming from Data092606.xls. How can I do this? The DTS I've already done has a fixed source data file. Please help. Thank you so much. God Bless.
Hello Friends, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question but if not please suggest me when it can be posted. I have been thinking of writing Stored procs in SQL CLR/ changing all of my Stored Procs to SQL CLR. Is there any thing that I need to keep in mind about the size of the sotred proc (like calculation intensive) before I do that? I mean can even change a TSQL stored proc which is relatively small Stored Proc, that simply said Select * from Customers to SQL CLR? or the SQL CLR does only useful/makes difference with calculation intensive stored procs and big stored procs? When I talked to our Architects they said every small sized stored proc can be written using SQL CLR and more over forget about the classic TSQL stored procs and get used to write SQL CLR when ever writing any database related stuff. And also there are so many articles that discussed about the advantages of SQL CLR over the TSQL but I would appreciate if some one could put few bulletted points why do you think SQL CLR is more powerful. Please advise.Thanks in advance,-L
Hi I am creating some dynamic sql by passing variouse parametrs to my Stored Procedure. One of my Parameters is string has lots of values seperated by a comma to help build an 'IN' statement. SET @SQL = 'SELECT * FROM areas'SET @p1 = '10,20'If @p1 IS NOT NULLBEGINSET @sSQL = @sSQL + ' WHERE (Areas IN (''' + Replace(@p1,',',''',''') + '''))'END The above query runs perfecly well in Query Analyser, however when I put it into my ASP.NET application I get an error of "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." So I think I need to do some sort of casting or Converting but im not sure how to do it. Or do I need to use a INSTRING? I did manage to work out a method by using the follwoing SELECT * FROM Areas WHERE PATINDEX('%,' + CAST(ArType AS VARCHAR) + ',%',',' + @p1 + ',') > 0 But I cant seem to convert the above line into coherent dynamic statement. My feeble attempt is below but I keep getting errors SET @sql = @sql + ' WHERE PATINDEX(''%,'' + CAST(ArType AS VARCHAR) + '',%'','','' + @p1 + '','') > 0' IM strugging to understand all the '''. My TSQL is pretty basic, any help would be much appreciated Many thanks in advance

I want to write a query which selects ind and clcode where ind(individual) has taken all 3 classes(clcode) 15, 16 and 17. for example: it should only return data for ind 1 from the following data as only ind 1 has taken all three classes. How can I write it?
I need help with a query that I want to incorporate into a scheduled DTS within SQL Server 2000. I have a process that brings in records from an Excel file, compares that day's records with any related information already stored in the database, then saves a table of joined records. This leaves me with any matches to the data. I need to filter out all but the most current record, which would be identified by a column named [DATE]. Ex:
Table tblMatchedRecords
M BLah Blah2 [DATE] 1 this that 20040101 2 this them 20040102 3 this that 20040630
In this example, I would like to have the record with [DATE] = 20040630 kept, and the others deleted. All columns do not always have to match exactly. I want to be able to specify which fields that need to match and pull only the latest date.
