Import Data From Excel to SQL SERVER 2005

  • Hi all,

    I need to do a SSIS package,which imports data from excel to sql server database,which shud be dynamic.

    I'll be having tables in Excel sheet,whenever i run this package,it shud create tables in SQL server database and data shud get loaded.

    Im new to this..

    Can anyone help me on this?

    Regards

  • Dude, where do we start! there many ways to do this.

    Simplest would be,

    Assuming the following:

    - You will have the same tables during every import

    - You have already worked out how you will get the everyday

    1. Create the tables with the correct columns

    2. Create an SSIS package which will be based on a 'Data Flow Task'

    3. Use a Flat file (XLS File) ---> OLE DB DataFlow

    4. Set up a job in SSM to run the package as and when

    You need to provide a lot more detail in what you have done already and any ideas you have.

  • HI,

    Even I have similar query...

    We have an excel sheet template as table and we need to store structure in the database(SQL Server)

    Reqt : I need to write a script so that "All tables primary keys we will log in a table.. (One time script).. Based on this table we need to write a script to identify whether particular column is primary key or not.."

    Whenever this excel template is updated with more columns, I also need to write a script so that excel template is compared with SQL Server database, and if columns are added, I need to write a script so that an "Alter table" script is invoked to modify the structure in the database(SQL Server).

    Please help me ASAP as per the approach. I am a new joinee and I need expert instructions on the approach
