DataSource Controls :: Importing Text Field From Excel To SQL Server 2005
Jun 10, 2010
from an Access database, I created an Excel spreadsheet. On the spreadsheet I made the adjustments I needed to and then proceeded to use the SQL Server 2005 Import/Export Wizard to import the spreadsheet into a SQL table. I then get the following error message:[Code]....
When I remove the problem columns from the import, then it works just fine. But I really need those text columns! The SQL Server columns that they are supposed to go into are varchar(MAX).
I want to read date field from Excel sheet and insert it into SQL Server2005.When I read date field it gives me a number say '40160' when the date feild is "08/01/2010"

I have an ASPNET application written in VB.NET which resides on the company's intranet. I am trying to do a bulkcopy from an excel file which is located in a secure folder on the web server to an existing table in Sql Server. The problem is that the folder requires a user name and password which is not the current logged in user or the ASPNET user. My question is how do I logon to the folder so that I can access the Excel file.
this is me once again moving around data access. my problem now hide in the import process of an excel file that would be inserted into sql db.
the problem is the excel file may be updated or changed and i have to periodically import it and perform the process but I still cant check or compare between the two Data Source (excel, sql) as I violate the entity integrity (PK)
i found a kind of stupid approach that each time i want to import the file i will empty the table then re-insert the data, but at this step a new problem raise that other tables are !engaged! with it ... so i will violate the referential integrity (FK)
i looking for solution to compare between two sources for each tuple / row, ignore the existing one and insert the new

I have a table with 100 records. I need to import extra 50 records in the same table. So from 101 to 150 records should insert the data which is present in excel Simply I want to import 50 records from Excel to Table without disturbing the first 100 records.
I got an excel spreadsheet (will have tons eventually) that have "Start Date" and "End Date" columns, with a format of "dd/mm/yyyy".For time being, I just want to import these to a temporary table in my database, and use the SQL Server Import/Export wizards.
Now this wizard import the the above fields as nvarchar, instead of date or datetime (not sure which would be better?).I tried to convert the columns to datetime after importing, but this is not allowed (Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you made require that the following tables to be dropped and re-created, ......).
So I deleted the temporary table, and ran the wizard again, this time trying to edit the mappings and specify the two fields to be date times, but this also fails.I also fiddled around with convert and cast, but always end up getting "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string." errors.
I looked myself skew, and are pretty sure all the fields in the excel sheet do have values, and are in the "dd/mm/yyyy" format.(I've been absent from SQL for a long long time!)

I developing a application in Asp.net3.5(C#) and Sql server2005, my problem is that i have to Import data from diffrent-2 data sources like MS Access, Oracle, ODBC, XML to my Data base(in Sql server) using C# code. I don't know any thing about importing data from these data sources.
I imported an access database using the DTS wizard, into SQL 2005. There is a field in one of the Access tables that is a memo field, filled with a bunch of text including linebreaks.
After importing, the field is indicated as the nvarchar(MAX) datatype when I check in SQL Enterprise Manager.
The text in that field is displayed without line breaks, both in EM and when viewed on a web page.
I changed the datatype of that column to "text" and now can see line breaks when I hover over a value in that column while viewing the table data in Visual Studio 2010's Server Explorer.
But when I display the data in a ListView, there are no linebreaks. When I view my TableAdapter in my dataset, there are no linebreaks either.
