We have an excel file more than 500 columns. And we have to import this file into MS SQL SERVER 2008 table. But it only accepts 255 columns.
Can anyone suggest a way to import/copy excel data to sql table ?
please go through below link and follow the steps
https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertutorial/203/simple-way-to-import-data-into-sql-server/
While using the Import wizard, Click on Edit Mappings on the "Select Source Tables and Views" page of the wizard, check the Type, Nullable, and Size columns for each source column. And must and should mapping should be done properly
Did you try bulk Insertion?
You can able to move excel data into SQL Server using bulk insert command below.
BULK INSERT table_name FROM 'C:\Directory\excelfile.csv' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR='\t',ROWTERMINATOR='\n', ROWS_PER_BATCH=10000)

I have a SQL Server Database as a project. I created it using Add Item -> SQL Server.
On the database project I do Add Item > Table which adds an SQL file. That sql file just creates a table with column Id, nothing else.
I then published that database. I can now see it on the Server Object Explorer.
I want to populate the table using a CSV file, and I also want to import the columns from the CSV file.
Then I created a new Query in the Object Explorer and used a BULK INSERT statement to import the csv file. I wanted to see if it would work because the table has just an Id column, and it did not. So my question is, how do I import the new columns when the table already has it's own schema?
I have also used the SQL Import and Export Wizard which is packaged with Microsoft SQL Server 2016. That is able to create a new table, but not import the new columns into a previously existing table.
You can find the explanation of how to do this in 1 operation here:
How to create and populate a table in a single step as part of a CSV import operation?
i have next query
select no,
item
from myTable
and I get next table
no item
1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
I use tsql, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Is there any way to write here some code to export table from my select in excel...
I am not aware of any way to write a query in SSMS and then export the results to excel, but you can connect an excel sheet to SQL Server and run queries into an data table from there using the From Other Sources - From SQL Server menu in the Data tab on the ribbon:
This is good if you want to build on that data within Excel and you need to refresh the data but don't want to update your formulas. There are obviously security implications with this as users of the Worksheet may be able to access other data on your server.
If you want to simply export an Excel file with data in to a file store, you would need to use SSRS and a report subscription. Alternatively, if you simply want to save the results of your query to a file, you can either copy and paste manually or choose to Save Your Results To Text in SSMS:
from your excel sheet you can create a dynamic connection between a SQL Server database and your Excel workbook.
Follow the steps in below link.

I am trying to import a .csv files into my sql Database that has been created on the SQL server 2014. The problem is that my csv tables have different names from the tables that I have create in my own Database. I cannot change the names on the csv files or the names on my database. They have to stay as they are. Can import the csv files into each table on my database without having an error? please help me out, i'm confused.
Use the import export wizard that is packaged with SQL Server, you can set the data source to a flat file such as CSV. It has a built in mapping option as below
I assume you are using import wizard, but once you pick data source and data destination, go to option "edit Mappings", there you can check which columns goes where, just make sure that columns are the same type
Yes, Steps:
Select the database
Right Click and Select the task and click on export
Select the source database and click next and select the CSV database as destination
click next and do the mapping of Source and destination columns
Click next to Finish
Now data will be imported to the database on appropriate columns
I need to export data from all the tables in a schema on SQL Server to different Excel files. I only have two software to access the database:
SQL Server Management Studio
DbVisualizer 6.5
I think latest pro versions of DbV have the option of exporting into xls. How can I do without these?
Please help.
You can use Bcp utility to export your tables.
One table sample in the answer of this question (see Using BCP (Command Prompt)):
Export table from database to csv file
You should format this bcp command in a stored procedure:
Get the list of your tables
For each table, export with bcp
See integration of bcp inside a stored proc here: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=49926
I find the easiest way is within SQL Management Studio type the select statement
select * from table. Then select the left upper section of the results grid when all rows are highlighted right click on and select copy with headers. Then paste to excel. I do it all the time. Beware datetime columns as they need to be formated in excel.
Is there a way to do a batch update on SQL Server from a row of data in Excel? We have excel documents that contain 2000+ plus rows and need to be imported in SQL Server. Is there a way to do a batch insert of these guys without calling the database over and over to insert one row at a time?
SQL Server Integrations Services offers a wizard based import which can help you easily set up a package to import an excel file. You can even save the package and schedule it to repeat the import in the future.
You have other options, as well. If you save the excel file to a comma or tab delimited text file, you can use the BULK INSERT t-sql command. See an example on the sqlteam.com forums.
Another T-SQL option is SELECT INTO. Excel is a valid OLEDB or ODBC data source from T-SQL. Here's an example.
There's also a command line import tool included with Microsoft SQL Server called BCP. Good documentation on BCP and the other options can be found on MSDN at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187042.aspx
You can create an SSIS package to read your Excel file. When you create your task, you can select a connection type of "Excel", and then it helps you create an "Excel Connection Manager". Then you can easily send the data to your SQL Server table. Here's a tutorial on how to import an Excel file into SQL Server (2005). Give it a look.
Yes! Use the import/export wizard of the SSMS! Use an Excel-source and a SQL Server destination. You can also create a SSIS-Package in the BIDS or use the BULK INSERT-statement from T-SQL, if you convert your Excel-sheets in to CSV-files.
