I need to insert data into SQL server from Excel using VBA - sql-server

I need to insert test-vba.xlsx data into SQL server to the particular database
Sub insertion()
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sConnString As String

Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
conn.Open sConnString

How to get a stored procedure as a text and alter it on another server

I would like to know how to get a stored procedure as a text and update its twin(!) on the other server with an excel macro. So I got this stored procedure on the server which has the newest version of the stored procedure:
Declare #Lines Table (Line NVARCHAR(MAX));
Declare #FullText NVARCHAR(max) = '';
INSERT #Lines EXEC sp_helptext 'StoredProcName';
Select #FullText = #FullText + Line From #Lines;
Select #FullText
#Fulltext has the complete code of 'StoredProcName'. I would like to get this code, cut the first 6 letters (CREATE), append it with "ALTER" and run it on the target server/database to update its twin(!). I got this excel macro to realize it:

rs.Close 'Deactivating the recordset.

After running this macro I get the Run-time error '3704': Operation is not allowed when the object is closed.

How to format data inserted from SQL Server into Excel table using VBA?

I'm using the code below to import tables from SQL Server into Excel.
So the old data be removed and new be inserted. I need to insert table to related data. I find something called ListObject but I didn't know how to apply it. Is there any way to insert table after the data are inserted?
Option Explicit
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Sub Connect_To_SQLServer(ByVal Server_Name As String, ByVal Database_Name As String, ByVal SQL_Statement As String)
Dim strConn As String
Dim wsReport As Worksheet
Dim col As Integer
Dim tbl As ListObject
strConn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;"
strConn = strConn & "Server=" & Server_Name & ";"
strConn = strConn & "Database=" & Database_Name & ";"
strConn = strConn & "Trusted_Connection=yes;"
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
With conn
.Open ConnectionString:=strConn
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
End With
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
With rst
.ActiveConnection = conn
.Open Source:=SQL_Statement
End With
'// here i selected the sheet where the data will be written
Set wsReport = Sheets("RDWH")
With wsReport
'// here I clear the old data and insert new set
wsReport.Select
Selection.Clear
For col = 0 To rst.Fields.Count - 1
.Cells(1, col + 1).Value = rst.Fields(col).Name
Next col
.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rst
End With
Set wsReport = Nothing
Call Close_Connections
End Sub
Private Sub Close_Connections()
If rst.State <> 0 Then rst.Close
If conn.State <> 0 Then conn.Close
'// Release Memory
Set rst = Nothing
Set conn = Nothing

Dim Server_Name As String
Server_Name = "NL-1012716\SQLEXPRESS"
Call Connect_To_SQLServer(Server_Name, "project", "SELECT * FROM [2_RDWH_CAST]")
End Sub
It is easier if the sheet name matches the table name and just delete any sheet with that name. Then recreate the sheet with a new table. This example shows how multiple tables can be downloaded in one operation with each query creating a new sheet.
-- Update ; Added sheet name and position parameters to sub Run_Report.

Update/Upload values from Excel to SQL Server Database

I’ve recently got into SQL Server, trying to build some query to return info (in Excel) from our ERP system (JobBoss) database. I was wondering:
Is there a way to update/change values in the SQL Server database from Excel?
For example, I have established a connection (in Excel) to our SQL Server already, and have a query that SELECTs certain values from specific tables to create a report. However, I was wondering if I can simply change the values in Excel then somehow “upload/synchronize” with the database?
If so, what are the options?
Thanks
Going from Excel to SQL Server? You have several options.
Setup looks link this:
Sub Rectangle1_Click()
'TRUSTED CONNECTION

Dim strPath As String
Dim intImportRow As Integer
Dim strFirstName, strLastName As String

server = .TextBox1.Text
table = .TextBox4.Text
database = .TextBox5.Text
If con.State <> 1 Then
con.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=" & server & ";Initial Catalog=" & database & ";Integrated Security=SSPI;"
'con.Open
End If
'this is the TRUSTED connection string
Set rs.ActiveConnection = con
'delete all records first if checkbox checked

VBA Getting data from SQL Server

I am having trouble when getting data from SQL Server. Here is the code.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim blsCritical As Boolean
'----------------------------------------------
ListBox.AddItem "Initializing..."
'----------------------------------------------
Me.Repaint
'----------------------------------------------
ListBox.AddItem "Welcome"
'----------------------------------------------
Me.Repaint
'----------------------------------------------
ListBox.AddItem "Examining your access rights..."
Call ConnectSQLServer
'----------------------------------------------
Me.Repaint
ListBox.AddItem strSQL
'----------------------------------------------
ListBox.AddItem "Opening database connection..."
'----------------------------------------------
Me.Repaint
End Sub
Sub ConnectSQLServer()
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim strConn As String
Dim par As ADODB.Parameter
Set objMyConn = New ADODB.Connection
Set objMyRecordset = New ADODB.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
objMyConn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=CHU-AS-0004;DATABASE=RTC_LaplaceD_DEV;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
objMyConn.Open
strSQL = "SELECT [currentVersion], [standardVersion] FROM [dbo].[Version]"
If currentVersion = "" Then
MsgBox ("No currentVersion value")
ElseIf Not IsNull(currentVersion) Then
If currentVersion < standardVersion Then
MsgBox ("Upgrade is needed")
ElseIf currentVersion = standardVersion Then
MsgBox ("PASS")
Else
End If
Else
End If
Set objMyRecordset.ActiveConnection = objMyConn
objMyRecordset.Open strSQL
End Sub
I have data in SQL Server:
but I cannot get data from SQL Server. When I execute it, 'No CurrentVersion value' message pops up. I don't see any mistakes in my code. Could you help me to solve this problem?(It would be great if you can share your fixed code...)
Just whipped this up for you to show you where you went wrong... untested...
strSQL = "SELECT [currentVersion], [standardVersion] FROM [dbo].[Version]"
Set objMyRecordset.ActiveConnection = objMyConn
objMyRecordset.Open strSQL
while objMyRecordset.EOF = false
currentVersion = objMyRecordset!currentVersion
objMyRecordset.MoveNext
wend
If currentVersion = "" Then
MsgBox ("No currentVersion value")
ElseIf Not IsNull(currentVersion) Then
If currentVersion < standardVersion Then
MsgBox ("Upgrade is needed")
ElseIf currentVersion = standardVersion Then
MsgBox ("PASS")
Else
End If
Else
End If
Something like this should do the job.
Sub GetDataFromADO()
'Declare variables'
Set objMyconn = New ADODB.Connection
Set objMyCmd = New ADODB.Command
Set objMyRecordset = New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rc As Long
'Open Connection'
objMyconn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=SAXAM\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks2012; Integrated Security=SSPI;"
objMyconn.Open
'Set and Excecute SQL Command'
Set objMyCmd.ActiveConnection = objMyconn
objMyCmd.CommandText = "select * from [Person].[BusinessEntity] "
objMyCmd.CommandType = adCmdText
objMyCmd.Execute
'Open Recordset'
Set objMyRecordset.ActiveConnection = objMyconn
objMyRecordset.Open objMyCmd
'Copy Data to Excel'
'ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset (objMyRecordset)
Application.ActiveCell.CopyFromRecordset (objMyRecordset)
rc = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
ActiveSheet.Cells(rc + 1, 1).Select
'Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Value
objMyconn.Close
End Sub
Here's one more idea. Let's say you had a bunch of Select statements in a bunch of cells from A1, down to whatever, you can add sheets dynamically, and import some sample data on to each sheet, to get a sense of the data structures of multiple tables.
Assuming the following in A1:A3.
SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM [YOUR_DB].[dbo].[YOUR_TABLE1]
SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM [YOUR_DB].[dbo].[YOUR_TABLE2]
SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM [YOUR_DB].[dbo].[YOUR_TABLE3]
Run the script below.
Sub Download_From_Multiple_Tables()
'Initializes variables
Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim ConnectionString As String
Dim StrQuery As String
Dim rCell As Range
Dim rRng As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
'For a trusted Connection, where your user ID has permissions on the SQL Server:
cnn.Open ConnectionString:="Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" & _
"Data Source=" & "YOUR_SERVER_NAME" & ";Initial Catalog=" & "YOUR_DB_NAME" & _
";TRUSTED_CONNECTION=YES"
'Opens connection to the database
'Timeout error in seconds for executing the entire query; this will run for 15 minutes before VBA timesout, but your database might timeout before this value
cnn.CommandTimeout = 900
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
'Ctrl + Shift + End
LRow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rRng = Sheet1.Range("A1:A" & LRow)
i = 2
For Each rCell In rRng.Cells
LPosition = InStrRev(rCell.Value, "[dbo]") + 5
' Name the newly added worksheet, based on the cell value
Name = Mid(rCell.Value, LPosition + 1, 99)
' Remove [] characters, as these are not permitted in tab names
Name = Replace(Name, "[", "")
Name = Replace(Name, "]", "")
SheetName = Left(Name, 31)
Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = SheetName
Worksheets(SheetName).Activate
StrQuery = rCell.Value
'Performs the actual query
rst.Open StrQuery, cnn
'Dumps all the results from the StrQuery into cell A2 of the first sheet in the active workbook
' Dump field names to the worksheet
For intFieldIndex = 0 To rst.Fields.Count - 1
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, intFieldIndex + 1).Value = rst.Fields(intFieldIndex).Name
Next intFieldIndex
' Dump the records to the worksheet
ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 1).CopyFromRecordset rst
' Sheets(i).Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset rst
i = i + 1
rst.Close
Next rCell
End Sub

VBA SQL Server Select

I was wondering if you could please check my code in VBA (Excel) to retrieve data from a SQL Server database, and insert it in the sheet.
It returns an error according the picture attached.
Sub ConnectionTest()
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
Dim constr As String
constr = "Provider=sqloledb;Data source=USO-YEGANEH\SQL2008;Initial Catalgo=USO_Final;User Id=sa;Password=123"
Dim conRS As ADODB.Recordset
Set conRS = New ADODB.Recordset
conn.Open constr
With conRS
.ActiveConnection = conn
.Open "Select * from LatLong_Amar"
Sheet1.Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset conRS
.Close
End With
End Sub
I found out what is the problem, it seems full path of the table, despite the fact that database is defined in the Connection String, should be entered. So, the line "Select * from LatLong_Amar" should be changed to [USO_Final].[dbo].[Latlong_Amar]
Sub ConnectionTest()
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
Dim constr As String
constr = "Provider=sqloledb;Data source=USO-YEGANEH\SQL2008;Initial Catalgo=USO_Final;User Id=sa;Password=123"
Dim conRS As ADODB.Recordset
Set conRS = New ADODB.Recordset
conn.Open constr
With conRS
.ActiveConnection = conn
.Open "Select * from [USO_Final].[dbo].[Latlong_Amar]"
Sheet1.Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset conRS
.Close
End With
End Sub
You can do it this way.
Sub ADOExcelSQLServer()
Dim Cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim Server_Name As String
Dim Database_Name As String
Dim User_ID As String
Dim Password As String
Dim SQLStr As String
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Server_Name = "YOUR_SERVER_NAME" ' Enter your server name here
Database_Name = "AdventureWorksLT2012" ' Enter your database name here
User_ID = "" ' enter your user ID here
Password = "" ' Enter your password here
SQLStr = "SELECT * FROM [SalesLT].[Customer]" ' Enter your SQL here
Set Cn = New ADODB.Connection
Cn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=" & Server_Name & ";Database=" & Database_Name & _
";Uid=" & User_ID & ";Pwd=" & Password & ";"
rs.Open SQLStr, Cn, adOpenStatic
' Dump to spreadsheet
With Worksheets("sheet1").Range("a1:z500") ' Enter your sheet name and range here
.ClearContents
.CopyFromRecordset rs
End With
' Tidy up
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Cn.Close
Set Cn = Nothing
End Sub
Here is another option for you to muse over.
Sub TestMacro()
' Create a connection object.
Dim cnPubs As ADODB.Connection
Set cnPubs = New ADODB.Connection
' Provide the connection string.
Dim strConn As String
'Use the SQL Server OLE DB Provider.
strConn = "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;"
'Connect to the Pubs database on the local server.
strConn = strConn & "DATA SOURCE=(local);INITIAL CATALOG=NORTHWIND.MDF;"
'Use an integrated login.
strConn = strConn & " INTEGRATED SECURITY=sspi;"
'Now open the connection.
cnPubs.Open strConn
' Create a recordset object.
Dim rsPubs As ADODB.Recordset
Set rsPubs = New ADODB.Recordset
With rsPubs
' Assign the Connection object.
.ActiveConnection = cnPubs
' Extract the required records.
.Open "SELECT * FROM Categories"
' Copy the records into cell A1 on Sheet1.
Sheet1.Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset rsPubs
' Tidy up
.Close
End With
cnPubs.Close
Set rsPubs = Nothing
Set cnPubs = Nothing
End Sub
