Hi Friends...

I want to read excel dynamically using sql.

SQL

Declare @Provider nvarchar(100)
Declare @ConnectionString nvarchar(1000)
Declare @FileName  nvarchar(1000)
Declare @query nvarchar(4000)
Declare @collMonth nvarchar(6)

set @Provider= N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0'
set @ConnectionString=N'Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database='
--set @FileName=N'E:\SharedE\chidTest\2011_NS.xlsx'  
--set @FileName=N'E:\SharedE\chidTest\2011_NS_66b86021-93a8-4a4b-8fc6-0bb3c3500cd0_5-21-2012.xlsx'
set @FileName =N'E:\SharedE\chidTest\MisReportsTest\SysAdmin\MISCREPORTS\EXCELUPLOADS\2011_NS_66b86021-93a8-4a4b-8fc6-0bb3c3500cd0_5-21-2012.xlsx'
set @query=N'Select * From [Sheet1$]' 
set @collMonth=N'201104'

--SELECT * into #APColln FROM OPENROWSET(@FileName);
declare @sql  nvarchar(max)
set @ConnectionString = @ConnectionString + @FileName 

SET @sql  = 'SELECT * into #APColln FROM OPENROWSET(' + QUOTENAME(@Provider, '''') + ', ' + QUOTENAME(@ConnectionString, '''') + ', ' + QUOTENAME(@Query, '''') + ')'

I've a little confusion, above in the question you said you're able to read first two files, and you also commented than no files from inside a folder you can read. Opposing stat ...please clarify !!
And also please share the error what you receive...

Have you checked the permissions on the folder?

Solution 1

Since the first two files come from a different directory than the last one, check the permissions on subdirectories:
- MisReportsTest
- SysAdmin
- MISCREPORTS
- EXCELUPLOADS
Also check that the file name is correct and the file isn't open when you run the query.

When going through the permissions, check that the credentials under which SQL Server service is run, have access.

Solution 2

Try this:

SQL

SET @sql  = 'INSERT INTO #APColln (Field1, Field2, Fieldn...) ' +
        'SELECT * ' +
         'FROM OPENROWSET(' + @Provider + ', ' + @ConnectionString + ', ' + @Query +  ') AS DT'
EXEC(@sql)
