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.
