Importing Data from Excel file to SQL Compact Edition Database

  • Hi Guys,

    I'm trying ways to import data from excel file into SDF database (SQL 2005 Compact Edition) and insert the data into respective table and column.

    Any idea how should I achieve that? Has any of you done that before? Would appreciate any kind of helps offered.

    Thanks.

    Regards,

    Jenson

    It helps to be a programmer.

  • I found a way to copy a spreadsheet into 2005 Express by using the DTS Wizard. It's located in:

    Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTSWizard

    It's pretty straight-forward. I need to figure out how to access it through the SQL Server Management Studio page. It's a learning experience since we still can not use it at work. I assume the full-blown SQL 2005 Enterprise has everything set up for you. But, for now, this will work for my imports.

  • This utiltiy can do this task .

    It support import data from excel to sqlce .

    But the UI is WPF , so you need install .net 3.5
