Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to use the sql statements in Excel file. I am able to fetch records from excel using OleDb object. But I am unable to use Insert/Update queries. For an example I have given the code below. kindly Help me out.

C#

public static int InsertExcelData()
        {
            int rowAffectecd=0;
            DataTable dtRecords = new DataTable();
            OleDbCommand excelCommand = new OleDbCommand();
            OleDbDataAdapter excelDataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
            try
            {
                //DataSet ds = new DataSet();
                string excelConnStr = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=@"D://myExcel.xls"; Extended Properties =Excel 8.0;";
                OleDbConnection excelConn = new OleDbConnection(excelConnStr);
                excelConn.Open();
                string[] sSheetName = Common.GetExcelSheetNames(Common.excelFilePath);
                excelCommand = new OleDbCommand(" INSERT INTO ["Sheet1$"](Name) VALUES('John');", excelConn);

                excelCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
                excelCommand.CommandTimeout = 0;
                rowAffectecd = excelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
            }
            catch (Exception err)
            {
                  throw err;
            }
            return rowAffectecd;
        }

Note:
I have the excel file with Name column.

When you say "Name" columns do you mean a Range or a column with "Name" as the first row element?? If the latter is the case, your query might fail. You should specify the cell range next to the sheet name. Also the double quote around Sheet1$ should be padded.

SQL

INSERT INTO [""Sheet1$""](Name) VALUES('John');
