Query to Load Excel Data to SQL Server: View Excel Sheet Data Into SQL output viewer

Here is my Excel sheet, I wanted to load into SQL Server DB. So before loading into SQL Server DB, I wish to see all data in SQL Server output Viewer.




This can be achieved by OPENROWSET Command provided with SQL Server. 

OPENROWSET: - Includes all connection information that is required to access remote data from an OLE DB data source. 

More Details can be found here.

OPENROWSET also supports bulk operations through a built-in BULK provider that enables data from a file to be read and returned as a rowset.

Since If you don't have Microsoft Office installed, then, you can download Microsoft Access Engine which will help to load Excel sheet Data into SQL Server DB.

Query to view Excel sheet data in SQL Server output is as follows:

SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;
Database=C:\Users\dhinakaran\Desktop\Sampleformslist.xlsx',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]');
    

  • HRD = YES, if first row of Excel sheet represents COLUMN NAMES 
    • 

  • HRD= NO if First row represents data not column names.
    • 


Sheet1 Is excel sheet name

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 2 - Data Life Cycle

Data Life Cycle The data life cycle is pictorial defined as show below:     As we see, in our current system, we capture/ Extract our data, then we store it and later we process for reporting and analytics. But in case of big data, the problem lies in storing and then processing it faster. Hence Hadoop takes this portion, where it stores the data in effective format (Hadoop distributed File System) and also process using its engine (Map Reduce Engine). Since Map Reduce engine or Hadoop engine need data on HDFS format to process, We have favorable tools available in market to do this operation. As an example, Scoop is a tool which converts RDBMS to HDFS. Likewise we have SAP BOD to convert sap system data to HDFS.

How to move multiple files in ssis and also rename simultaneously

There are two ways to achieve this. 1) We can move the flat files and then rename it. 2) While moving files itself, automatic rename should be done. We will do the second type. The criteria is to rename the files while moving from source to destination. So for that, we need FILE SYSTEM TASK to be included. Secondly since we need to move many files, we will use FOR EACH LOOP CONTAINER. To fetch all the files, we can use FOR EACH LOOP task in SSIS. In collection tab, we can select FOREACH FILE enumerator option for fetching files and we can change enumerator configuration Folder option: Points to source where we need to fetch files. Files: will give us idea whether we need to fetch all the files (*.*) or if we give extension like *.txt, it is going to fetch only  .txt files . Once I give Source name in FOR EACH LOOP container, It is going to fetch all the files corresponding to that path. Retrieve file name: This option is used to let the variables mentioned in V...
