Error message using SQL import and Export Wizard with Excel spread sheet

I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet using the Import export wizard that is provided with SQL 2014.
Everything seems to set up OK but then when I go to do the transfer "error message" comes up saying:
External Table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft Jet Database Engine).
This is a spreadsheet and there is no database, that is why I want to import it into a database!! So the reference to JET is a tad disappointing.
So why the error and how do I fix the problem?
As there are over 100 variables in the spread sheet rows, it would be great to have this automatically create the database and populate the fields.
I am using SQL 2014 Express and Office Excel 2013.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, and hopefully sheading some light on the issue.

Hi AWlcurrent,
When import a .xlsx file to SQL Server using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, you see a “External Table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft Jet Database Engine).” error message. This error message seems that the Microsoft JET Database Engine is
unable to handle something that is contained in the file.
So please make sure there is no unsupported content in the Excel file. Alternatively, we can use ‘Microsoft Excel’ as the Data Source, then Select ‘Microsoft Excel 2007’ as the Excel version to import the excel file.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

SQL Server 2012: Import and Export Wizard - Exporting Multiple Result Sets at Once?

I'm working in SQL Server 2012 trying to export some data from our database into an Excel file. My SQL statement has two separate Select statements. They are not joined by a union. When I Execute them inside of SQL Server Management Studio, with Results
set to go to a Grid, I get two result sets back. Two full tables of data.
However, when I use the Import and Export Wizard, the Excel sheet only has the first set of data.
What do I need to do to have it so both result sets show up in the excel file?

Why cant use merge them using union/union all if intention is to get them to same sheet? Is it like the metadata is different so that they cant be merged to single sheet?
If that being the case you need to do it in two steps.

Hi Smash126,
Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.

Issue while importing table from oracle to sql server using import and export wizard

Hi All,
I am trying to populate oracle table to sql server using import export wizard and i am getting the below error.the table is allready present in the database but still it throwing error like table doesn't exists.
Could not connect source component.
Error 0xc0202009: Source - JOB_ACTION_HISTORY [1]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Kindly help me out
Thanks in advance

Hi Snehasis,
Please check whether the table name in the Oracle database has lower case letters. The table name should be exactly correct.
In addition, the issue might be related to the Oracle driver. What provider/driver do you use? If you use Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle, you can try the
Oracle OLE DB Provider. If you use Enterprise or Developer edition of SSIS 2008 or higher, you can also try the
Microsoft Connectors for Oracle by Attunity. The Oracle OLE DB Provider and Microsoft Connectors for Oracle are proved to have better performance.

Hi astro,
Please ensure that you haven’t renamed or moved the destination excel file during the exporting process. Also make sure that “Create destination table” option is checked as below screenshot and the SQL statement is correct.

Use of Import and Export script

Hi,
Can any one tel me what is the use of Import and Export script.
After moving the pages from / into server what is the need of giving the import / export command.
export /oracle/apps/ap/setup/webui/customizations/site/0/SetupPG -rootdir <destination path> -username <data base user name> -password <data base password> -dbconnection "(description = (address_list = (address = (community = tcp.world)(protocol = tcp)(host =<hostname> (port = <port id>)))(connect_data = (sid = <sid>)))".
Thanks in Advance,
Jegan

And Export/Import is also used to move personalizations and substitutions from one system to another system.
You can also use Functional administrator UI to export and import pages.
Functional administrator in turn uses export/import internally.

Import and Export variables with same name

The nco3 throws and exception when a function has Import and Export variables with the same name.
An example is BAPI_BATCH_CREATE.
At the moment my solution is create a ZBAPI_BATCH_CREATE that wraps the original BAPI but has diferent names for import and export variables (IBATCH and OBATCH for BATCH variable).
Anyone has another more clean solution?

Import and export MDM with the SAP Portal

Hi,
Would you have any clue on how to handle import and export from the SAP portal ?
I need your help because I haven't found any standard iView to perform these functions
The only information i got were some explanations on WebDynpro Java iViews using events to export from the Portal.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
MDM iViews are only meant to perform MDM Data Manager operations but on limited basis. EP-MDM scenario has been designed for end users only which should not allow to perform complex data manager operations and they need not install MDM Clients.
Thats why importing and exporting functionalities are not possible in standard MDM iviews.

Error while using the 'Form and Report' wizard

Hello,
I’m trying to create a form and report on EMP, using the APEX wizards, but I’m getting the following error message:
ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-20001: Error creating shortcut id="" ORA-00001: unique constraint (FLOWS_030100.WWV_FLOW_SHORTCUT_IDX1) violated
This is something local, on my APEX instance only, but any ideas what is wrong here?
Thanks,
Arie.

Hi Scott,
>> Do you happen to know where that PL/SQL shortcut came from? Created by you or an apex wizard?
The original shortcut was probably created by an APEX wizard, but then I changed its type to ‘PL/SQL Function Body’. The shortcuts are not included in the translatable components, so I need a function to determine the application language, and issue the message accordingly.
>> The type of the shortcut is not part of that constraint
So changing the shortcut type back to the type I need, after the wizard finished its job, should not have any side effects. Correct?
>> and the sequence always seems to be 1
And we don’t have access to it, so we can’t change it manually.
>> Our bug
Can you please fill a bug report on that?
I will post an enhancement request about including shortcuts in the translatable components, but I’ll appreciate you mention this issue also.
Appreciate your time and efforts,
Arie.

Import to new table large excel spread sheet

Oh yeas I am using windows XP on a novel Network. All current patches applied
What gives. Is there a setting not quite right.
Thanks I am trying to learn.

Apache POI is the Java API To Access Microsoft Format Files. Can you let me know what you see in the command window when you attempt to run sqldeveloper from command window and try to import your xls? I understand the sensitivity of the xls. No problem. Can you provide a general description of the nature of the cell values in each of the 84 columns that you have so that we can attempt to simulate you xls?

When to use import and export directives?

I'm very confused about what the import and export language extensions do and when one should use them.
I have a Bridge application with multiple source files. As long as I don't call code in another file from the startup execution path (before all source files are loaded) and only call across modules after Bridge is running (e.g. from events in Bridge), I don't seem to need import and export. All source files seem to be in the same namespace and all can see each other's global objects/functions.
So, when would someone use import or export? And, what is the #engine that the manual discusses in relation to import and export? If some of my source files are library files that I intend to be used by multiple different files/applications, should I be using import/export for that use? Or is this only applicable when there are somehow multiple JavaScript engines involved? And when would that situation arise?
--John

John,
The import and export directives don't really matter in Bridge. All scripts execute in the same namespace. That's why namespacing your scripts is crucial in Bridge.
The #engine directive creates another JavaScript engine instance containing the script with the directive. If you then wanted to use stuff from that engine, the import and export directives would be needed. But even with that, in Bridge, the main engine will contain the script. There will just be a second engine (you can see this in the ESTK) containing the same stuff. Since it's in the main engine, there's no point in using the import and export.
Some of the other apps, GoLive, for instance, each script executes in its own engine and namespace. And import and export are needed.
This could change in future versions, and if it does, we'll be certain to make sure everyone knows about it.
Bob
