export entire excel sheet to sql table with VBA - sql-server

Question

having issue sending entire sheet to sql table. I have tried 2 different ways as shown below. both work in different ways. Ultimately I am struggling with exporting multiple rows of data to sql DB
this 1st way I can import multiple rows to sql table successfully with one click of the button, only problem is that the StartTime and FinishTime come to sql table as 00:00:00 even if I enter a normal time in excel
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim iRowNo As Integer
Dim sEventDate, sID, sDeptCode, sOpCode, sStartTime, sFinishTime, sUnits As String
With Sheets("Sheet1")
'Open a connection to SQL Server
conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=db\db1;Initial Catalog=PTW;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
'Skip the header row
iRowNo = 2
'Loop until empty cell in FirstName
Do Until .Cells(iRowNo, 1) = ""
sEventDate = .Cells(iRowNo, 1)
sID = .Cells(iRowNo, 2)
sDeptCode = .Cells(iRowNo, 3)
sOpCode = .Cells(iRowNo, 4)
sStartTime = .Cells(iRowNo, 5).Text
sFinishTime = .Cells(iRowNo, 6).Text
sUnits = .Cells(iRowNo, 7)
'Generate and execute sql statement to import the excel rows to SQL Server table
conn.Execute "insert into dbo.TimeLog (EventDate, ID, DeptCode, Opcode, StartTime, FinishTime, Units) values ('" & sEventDate & "', '" & sID & "', '" & sDeptCode & "', '" & sOpCode & "', cast('" & dStartTime & "' as datetime), cast('" & dFinishTime & "' as datetime), '" & sUnits & "')"
iRowNo = iRowNo + 1
Loop
MsgBox "Data Successfully Exported."
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing
End With
End Sub
this 2nd way works and sends the StartTime and FinishTime exactly as it is in excel table, but it only allows me to send one row to sql table at a time
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "INSERT INTO dbo.TimeLog" & _
"(EventDate, ID, DeptCode, Opcode, StartTime, FinishTime, Units) " & _
"VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)"
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=db\db1;Initial Catalog=PTW;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
iRowNo = 1
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = conn
cmd.CommandType = adCmdText
cmd.CommandText = strSQL
With Sheets("Sheet1")
'Loop until empty cell in FirstName
Do Until .Cells(iRowNo, 1) = ""
cmd.Parameters.Append _
cmd.CreateParameter("pEventDate", adVarChar, adParamInput, 8, .Cells(iRowNo, 1))
cmd.Parameters.Append _
cmd.CreateParameter("pID", adInteger, adParamInput, , .Cells(iRowNo, 2))
cmd.Parameters.Append _
cmd.CreateParameter("pDeptCode", adVarChar, adParamInput, 2, .Cells(iRowNo, 3))
cmd.Parameters.Append _
cmd.CreateParameter("pOpCode", adVarChar, adParamInput, 2, .Cells(iRowNo, 4))
cmd.Parameters.Append _
cmd.CreateParameter("pStartTime", adDBTime, adParamInput, 0, .Cells(iRowNo, 5))
cmd.Parameters.Append _
cmd.CreateParameter("pFinishTime", adDBTime, adParamInput, 0, .Cells(iRowNo, 6))
cmd.Parameters.Append _
cmd.CreateParameter("pUnits", adInteger, adParamInput, , .Cells(iRowNo, 7))
cmd.Execute
iRowNo = iRowNo + 1
Loop
MsgBox "Data Successfully Exported"
End With
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing
End Sub

Answer 1

you must cast the value. In mssql, yourt time value is recognized as string.
cast('8:00:00' as datetime)
conn.Execute "insert into dbo.TimeLog (EventDate, ID, DeptCode, Opcode, StartTime, FinishTime, Units) values ('" & sEventDate & "', '" & sID & "', '" & sDeptCode & "', '" & sOpCode & "', cast('" & dStartTime & "' as datetime), cast('" & dFinishTime & "' as datetime), '" & sUnits & "')"

Answer 2

Adding this inside the loop of the first script was the result I was looking for...
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = conn
cmd.CommandType = adCmdText
cmd.CommandText = strSQL
