we're importing a lot of data to sql server from an MS Access db. we're doing it via a vb.net windows form. We open the Access db as a dataset, loop through it and save it to sql server with a stored procedure.

I found a few examples online on how to import excel into sql via vb. but can i do it via stored procedure?
Insert into SQLServerTable Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=D: esting.xls;HDR=YES',
'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]')
So like, can I pass in:
('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=D: esting.xls;HDR=YES',
'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]')
As a parameter to SQL Server SP?

View 5 RepliesI want to know how you can export data from a disconnected database that could be access or ms sql to an sql server database.
Here is the scenario:
I have several software in a remote sites on either sql or ms access databases as back-ends...and I have another sql server database that i want to consolidate data from the remote sites.
One solution I have been thinking about is to use email to send incremental backups of the databases to the main database using a separate piece of software and have another one on the main server to pull that data into the database.
Basically am looking at setting up the remote databases as linked servers at the main database and then having incremental backups sent by email to the main database.
I have thought of replication but the internet link at the sites is terrible.
Is that a good implementation? If yes
How do i get to send the incremental backups and get them imported?(the code)
Tools:
Visual basic 2008 standard edition..Net 3.5

I have inherited a VB.net web app that I'm making some changes on. I'm perfectly capable with the programming side (VB and MSSQL) but I'm getting lost with the tools. I was given a zip file of the code and everything. I opened the sln file in Visual Studio 2005 and it worked fairly easily with little modification.
Running the app works perfectly. Problem is, I need to write some new SPs so need the database admin. SQL Server 2008 Express is installed but it doesn't see any database and I have no idea how to import it.I have a folder App_Data in the project with the file ASPNETDB.MDF. Opening this in VS gived the error: This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 or later.
Im having strange problems when importing data from an excel file into a sql table. Everything seems to imports ok until i look at the data in more detail, this is when I notice its imported the data but in the wrong order. for some reason when I look at the db table all records are in the wrong order, and strangely enough it seems to be a different order every time I import things. Is there a way to force the routine to import the data in the same order as the it is in the excel file?, because at the minute it seems to have a mind of its own.
My code is below:
Public Function ReadExcelFile(ByVal sFileName As String) As Boolean
Dim oSQL As New clsSQLHolder
Dim excelCon As String

I have a large text file that I want to use in my project, that data in the text file has about six items for each location. Now I had thought of importing the text file into a database using Access, but not had a lot of luck making it work. The question is is it better to load the data in the project as a text file then search for the string required or to convert it into a database. (The text file is a list of airports and related data.) Can a text file be converted to a Microsoft compact SQL database?

I am trying to import data from a server and put it into an excel sheet. I have included (imported) the Microsfot.Office.Interop package into my program. I have been looking through the Object Browser to find the correct commands to add this imported data. Should the ListColumns.Add and Listrows.Add functions be used in this spot? I have started a code however, it was initially going to be used with human interaction. The new direction is to make it automated. The section of code I have written follows:
#Region " (Import Data) This function will import the PI Tag Names and desired Attributes into an Excel worksheet "
Private Sub Import()
[Code]...
After the nvs.Add("changer", 1) there are many more attributes that are going to be added to the excel file but I did not feel they needed to be shown here.
We have a legacy application that is dumping large volumes of data to tab delimited files.Each file contains a single record type and all fields are fixed length.These files can readily be imported into corresponding tables in our SQL server database using the BCP utility from the command line.We have a VB.Net program written in VS 2003 that imports these files using the SQLDMO.BulkCopy routine. We are updating the system to use VS 2010 with SQL Server 2008 and according to the Microsoft documentation SQLDMO is no longer available.I have searched on the internet and have rewritten the import routine to import the tab delimited files into a DataTable using the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider. The SqlClient.BulkCopy object is then used to import this DataTable. This issue I am having is that fields in the tab delimited file that are set to spaces are being treating as NULLs when imported into the DataTable. When the DataTable is processed by the SqlClient.BulkCopy the copy fails because the null values are rejected by the SQL table fields that are defined as NOT NULL.Code being tested is shown below
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim data As DataTable = RetrieveSourceData()
