Access Excel Hyperlinks from SQL

  • opc.three

    The C# code I provided does exactly that

    Ah, my bad then. I'm C# illiterate (and all flavors of C for that matter). Now that you pointed that out, I can kind of see how it works. So I'm using SQL Server 2012 express (my company does not use SQL Server, I just use it for handling my data). Is it possible for me to do things like you have done above? Or do I need a paid version to be able to use CLR's and such?

    No worries. I get that C# is not read as cleanly (or sometimes at all) on this site as T-SQL 😉

    I would not recommend using the code I showed in a SQLCLR object. If you must something like this that deals with hyperlinks in Excel, I would look to put the code in an SSIS package Script Task or Transformation Component, or into a stand-alone C# app, and run it on an application server, i.e. not the server running SQL Server hosting the databases.
