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.

OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file ''. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".

If you get this error while Loading Data From Excel to SQL Server, then, close the Excel sheet opened and try to run queries again.

Talend ETL Part 1: SQL Server Database to Excel Sheet

Difference between other ETL tools and tools like Pentaho, Talend, Clover ETL, Adeptia Integration etc, is that they support NO SQL Cross domains, BIG Data, Hadoop etc. Other ETL tools like, SSIS, Informatica are now coming with their higher versions, which consists of Hadoop Integration. Basically We can say, there are two databases types. 1) RDBMS (Example: SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle etc) 2) Non RDBMS (Example: MongoDB, InfiniDB etc) Talend Supports Non RDBMS databases. Here I would like to share my hands on experience on Talend and how to use it and explain basic components of Talend. Approx there are 500 components we can find in Talend. So lets Kick Start from Basics. First lets try to load Data from Microsoft SQL Server to Excel. Steps: Step1: Open Talend Studio.
