Help, slow VBA OLED connection string query...

Hi all,
Purpose: To determine if a city and state combination exists in an existing excel workbook.
Using: VBA with an OLED connection so I don't have to open the workbook.
Code:
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim srcData, cmd As String
Dim cityADO As Boolean
With cn
.Provider = "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0"
.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & srcData _
& "Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;"""
.Open
End With
cmd = "SELECT COUNT (*) FROM [" & sSrc & "$A:B] WHERE [City]='" & cCty & _
"' AND [State]='" & cSt & "';"
Set rst = cn.Execute(cmd)
cityADO = CInt(rst.GetString)
I'm self teaching myself and this is part of a self imposed project. (It's basically checking addresses from a list in an excel sheet. Using Bing or google maps API would be cheating in this case) . So my issue is this method is slow and I was wondering if
there was a faster way meeting my objective or if there is something wrong in my code that could be causing a bottleneck.

Hi DaBirdGUY,
I made a simple demo with your code, and I did not see the obvious performance issue from the query. Based on my understanding, Excel is not a file format designed for high performance query, so it could be slow when the row count is large. A common way
to improve the performance is load the data to memory and query in memory.
In addition, if the row count is very large, I will recommend you use SQL Server to query rather than Excel spreadsheet.

Hello,
DB Connect String : Like for other tools (SQL*Plus / ..; ) provide a string like

Other parameters : if you have created parameters in your Reports, you can specify their value here.
Example : a parameter P_PARAM is defined in your Reports, you can set the value of "Other parameters" :

Need Helping using VBA custom code to query AS400 database

Hi
I am trying to connect the AS400 using the custom page programmability in etester. I am able to make the connection for SQL queries but when i try to do the same for a SPROC, I am not able to do it successfully. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
Subu

The easiest thing to open the ODBC interface and create a DSN entry for your AS400. (You will need the appropriate drivers loaded on the windows machine) Once you have done that, you can use the Microsoft Active-x data objects to connect, query, read and write data.

Help with mySQL Connection string

Here is hoping someone can help & once I get it down I promise I'll post all my work on this list so some other newbie can benefit.
I'm simply trying to run a very very straightforward JDBC test with mySQL & I keep getting the "Server configuration denies access to data source" error. But before you tell me that I must simply look at what my mysql.db & mysql.user table allows - I'VE TRIED THAT. I realize that the error is probably there somewhere - but I can't see it.
I've tried connecting with 2 different accounts - the provided "root" & a user I created "deep" to 2 different databases the provided "test" & "testdb" which I created) . Here is what mysql says about the two different databases
mysql> select * from db;
Host | Db         | User |.......
-----+------------+-------
| %         | test    |       | ......
| %         | test\_% |     | ........
| localhost | testdb | deep |........Note that "root" should have access to "test" & deep@localhost should have access to "testdb" right?
So here are all the connection strings I have tried - all return the same error below
        Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
            "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "root", "mypass"

Powershell use Connection String to query Database and write to Excel

Right now I have a powershell script that uses ODBC to query SQL Server 2008 / 2012 database and write to EXCEL
$excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $True
$wb = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Worksheets.Item(1)
$ws.name = "GUP Download Activity"
$qt = $ws.QueryTables.Add("ODBC;DSN=$DSN;UID=$username;PWD=$password", $ws.Range("A1"), $SQL_Statement)
if ($qt.Refresh()){
$ws.Activate()
$ws.Select()
$excel.Rows.Item(1).HorizontalAlignment = $xlCenter
$excel.Rows.Item(1).VerticalAlignment = $xlTop
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Name = "Calibri"
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Size = 11
$excel.Rows.Item("1:1").Font.Bold = $true
$filename = "D:\Script\Reports\Status_$a.xlsx"
if (test-path $filename ) { rm $filename }
$wb.SaveAs($filename, $xlOpenXMLWorkbook) #save as an XML Workbook (xslx)
$wb.Saved = $True #flag it as being saved
$wb.Close() #close the document
$Excel.Quit() #and the instance of Excel
$wb = $Null #set all variables that point to Excel objects to null
$ws = $Null #makes sure Excel deflates
$Excel=$Null #let the air out
I would like to use connection string to query the database and write results to EXCEL, i.e.
$SQL_Statement = "SELECT ..."
$conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "Server=10.10.10.10;Initial Catalog=mydatabase;User Id=$username;Password=$password;"
$conn.Open()
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($SQL_Statement,$conn)
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output += ,@($rdr.GetValue(0), $rdr.GetValue(1))
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
How would I read the columns and data for $sql_output into an EXCEL worksheet. Where do I find these tutorials?

Hi Q.P.Waverly,
If you mean to export the data in $sql_output to excel document, please try to format the output with psobject:
$sql_output=@()
do{
try{
$rdr = $cmd.ExecuteReader()
while ($rdr.read()){
$sql_output+=New-Object PSObject -Property @{data1 = $rdr.GetValue(0);data2 =$rdr.GetValue(1)}
$transactionComplete = $true
catch{
$transactionComplete = $false
}until ($transactionComplete)
$conn.Close()
Then please try to use the cmdlet "Export-Csv" to export the data to excel like:
$sql_output | Export-Csv d:\data.csv
Or you can export to worksheet like:
$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $true
$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$sheet = $workbook.ActiveSheet
$counter = 0
$sql_output | ForEach-Object {
$counter++
$sheet.cells.Item($counter,1) = $_.data1$sheet.cells.Item($counter,2) = $_.data2}
Refer to:
PowerShell and Excel: Fast, Safe, and Reliable
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Save Query - An error occurred while creating connection strings for the query

A workbook trying to edit and reload I get the following error "Save Query - An error occurred while creating connection strings for the query" No Power Pivot data model or anything.

I am getting the same error when editing a Power Query in an Excel spreadsheet. It happens when I change a Group By step to do a Sum instead of Count Rows.

[8i] Need help with hierarchical (connect by) query

First, I'm working in 8i.
My problem is, I keep getting the error ORA-01437: cannot have join with CONNECT BY.
And, the reason I get that error is because one of the criteria I need to use to prune some branches with is in another table... Is there anyway to work around this? I tried an in-line view (but got the same error). I thought about using the connect by query as an in-line view and filtering off what I don't want that way, but I'm not sure how to filter out an entire branch...
Here is some simplified sample data:
CREATE TABLE     bom_test

You mean you want don't want the descendants (children, grandchildren, etc.) of any component whose part_type is not 'M'.
The part_type of the component itself doesn't matter: component '101-34' is included, even though its part_type is 'P', and component 'X525-101' is excluded, even though its part_type is 'M'.

Any suggestions?Sorry, I don't have an Oracle 8.1 database at hand now. All three of the queries below get the correct results in Oracle 10.2, and I don't believe they do anything that isn't allowed in 8.1.
You can't do a join and CONNECT BY in the same query on Oracle 8.1.
I believe you can do one first, then the other, using in-line views. The frist two queries do the join first.
--     Query 1: Join First
SELECT     LEVEL
,     component
,     parent
,     qty_per
FROM     (     -- Begin in-line view to join bom_test and part_test
          SELECT     b.component
          ,     b.parent
          ,     b.qty_per
          ,     p.part_type     AS parent_type
          FROM     bom_test     b
          ,     part_test     p
          WHERE     p.part_nbr     = b.parent
     )     -- End in-line view to join bom_test and part_test
START WITH     parent     = 'ABC-1'
CONNECT BY     parent          = PRIOR component
     AND     parent_type     = 'M'
;Query 2 is very much like Query 1, but it does more filtering in the sub-query, returning only rows hose part_type or whose parent's part_type is 'M". Your desired result set will be a tree taken entirely from this set. Query 2 may be faster, because the sub-query is more selective, but then again, it may be slower because it has to do an extra join.
{code}
-- Query 2: Join first, prune in sub-query
SELECT     LEVEL
,     component
,     parent
,     qty_per
FROM     (     -- Begin in-line view to join bom_test and part_test
          SELECT     b.component
          ,     b.parent
          ,     b.qty_per
          ,     p.part_type     AS parent_type
          FROM     bom_test     b
          ,     part_test     p
          ,     part_test     c
          WHERE     p.part_nbr     = b.parent
          AND     c.part_nbr     = b.component
          AND     'M'          IN (c.part_type, p.part_type)
     )     -- End in-line view to join bom_test and part_test
START WITH     parent     = 'ABC-1'
CONNECT BY     parent          = PRIOR component
     AND     parent_type     = 'M'
{code}
Query 3, below, takes a completely different approach. It does the CONNECT BY query first, then does a join to see what the parent's part_type is. We can easily cut out all the nodes whose parent's part_type is not 'M', but that will leave components like 'R245-9010' whose parent has part_type 'M', but should be excluded because its parent is excluded. To get the correct results, we can do another CONNECT BY query, using the same START WITH and CONNECT BY conditions, but this time only looking at the pruhed results of the first CONNECT BY query.
{code}
--     Query 3: CONNECT BY, Prune, CONNECT BY again
SELECT     LEVEL
,     component
,     parent
,     qty_per

          ,     h.parent

I suspect that Query 3 will be slower than the others, but if the CONNECT BY query is extremely selective, it may be better.
It would be interesting to see your findings using the full tables. Please post your observations and the explain plan output.

The Connection String for the Query Log table is automatically encrypted.

When I try to use the Usage Based Optimization to apply Aggregation Design to my measure group, it shows me the following
error message.
The connection string cannot be found. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and, in the Analysis Server Properties
page, check the value of the Log\QueryLog\QueryLogConnectionString
property.
I encountered this error like two weeks ago. At that time I just reset the connection string and every things seem
to be fine. A week ago, I successfully applied the Usage Based Optimization for one of my cubes. However when I tried to apply UBO for my other cubes today, I encountered the same issue again! I believe no one has changed the property of
the connection string.
Also if I query the Query Log table, I can see those latest queries made by the users. I'm sure the queries are still
logging into this table.
This is really strange. Anyone else has encountered the same issue? Thanks.

Hello Thomas,
I encounterd this issue. And I am struggling trying to solve this problem. If you have resolved this issue and I guess you must've, because this post is two years old, could you kindly post how you resolved this issue?
Thanks in advance

dovdov2,
are you saying that when you connect your MacBook Pro to a monitor, your Internet connection slows down, but when you disconnect the monitor, it speeds up again, and that this is reproducible from one day to another?
Does this happen both under OS X and under Windows 7, or only under one of them?
How are you currently connecting your MacBook Pro to your monitor?

SSRS 2012 - Windows Server 2012 R2 issue with OLEDB Connection String

Hoping someone can help. As stated above, we are running SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2. When I create a Data Source as follows in Reporting Services, I receive the following error message. Any thoughts on why this fails? The same data
source works on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SQL Server 2008 R2.
Data Source type: OLE DB
Connection string: Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source="\\networknamehere\CSVFiles";Mode=Read;Extended Properties="text;HDR=YES;FMT=CSVDelimited"

Hi ABAA101,
According to your description, when you use csv file as data source in SSRS 2012 report, you got the error message.
I tested the issue in my local machine, due to some policy restrictions, I could not install Access in my local machine. To workaround the issue, we can use the connection string like below:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\report;
Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"
The csv file is stored in report folder in C driver.
In Query text box in the dataset, we can use the query like below:
Select * from new.csv
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Linq2sql Connection string for crystal report. Report requires logon

If I take out the connection string info the report runs fine from my machine but any other user it asks for logon information so I am trying to add the connection info. The line that is not compiling is `cr1.SetDatabaseLogon(connection, cr1);`
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!
    private void launchReport(int pKReport)
        using (DataClasses1DataContext db = new DataClasses1DataContext())
            var query = (from s in db.expenseHdrs
                         join d in db.expenseDtls on s.rptNo equals d.rptNo
                         where s.rptNo == pKReport
                         from g in db.employees
                         join r in db.expenseHdrs on g.pk equals r.empPk
                         select new
                             s.period,
                             s.description,
                             s.department,
                             s.rptNo,
                             s.reimbursement, g.name,
                             d.expDate,
                             d.expType,
                             d.expDesc
            CrystalReport1 cr1 = new CrystalReport1();
            ConnectionInfo connection = new ConnectionInfo();
            connection.DatabaseName = "intranet";
            connection.UserID = "sa";
            connection.Password = "*****";
            cr1.SetDatabaseLogon(connection, cr1);
            cr1.SetDataSource(query);
            crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr1;
I also tried changing the code after my query to below but I still have the exact same problem as before when I didnt have the connection string credentials. On every user but myself I get the same sql server login screen and no matter what I enter it fails. I think it is due to there being no database name which it will not allow me to manually enter.
     CrystalReport1 cr1 = new CrystalReport1();
                cr1.FileName = @"C:\Intranet\CrystalReport1.rpt";
                ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
                connectionInfo.ServerName = "svr-sql";
                connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "intranet";
                connectionInfo.UserID = "sa";
                connectionInfo.Password = "*****";
                SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, cr1);
                cr1.SetDataSource(query);
                crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr1;
    private void SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, CrystalReport reportDocument)
            Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
                TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);

The code I use is as follows:
Dim crDatabase As Database
Dim crTables As Tables
Dim crTable As Table
Dim crTableLogOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo
Dim crConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo
Dim crReportDocument As ReportDocument
CrConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo
With crConnectionInfo
.ServerName = "dbconn1"
.DatabaseName = "Pubs"
.UserID = "vantech"
.Password = "vantech"
crDatabase = crReportDocument.Database
crTables = crDatabase.Tables
End With
crDatabase = crReportDocument.Database
crTables = crDatabase.Tables
For Each crTable In crTables
crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
Next
This assumes that there are no subreports (or at least that if there are subreports, they use identical db connection info).
My recommendation would be to test the above code with a simple test report (one table, one field). If you have subreports, you may need to set the logon for those also - depends on how the subreports are implemented. Subreport logon code would be something like this:
Dim crSubreportDocument As ReportDocument
crSubreportDocument = crReportDocument.OpenSubreport("Ron")
crConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo
With crConnectionInfo
.ServerName = "Rcon1"
.DatabaseName = "Northwind"
.UserID = "vantech"
.Password = "vantech"
End With
crDatabase = crSubreportDocument.Database
crTables = crDatabase.Tables
For Each crTable In crTables
crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
Next
Alternatively, you could download the db logon writing utility that is attached to this KB and implement that.

Connection string to insert data to Oracle DB

Hay guys,
Now I am facing the problem to insert data to the oracle db. I already connect the db to my netbeans service tag & also found the db & tables. But does not know how to insert, delete etc from my JSF pages. I send my JSF code. You guys tell me in which position in the code I will set the connection string, as well as the pattern of connection string. You guys found that I add a button name "show". I want that when I press the "show" button then the relative data will show in the corresponding textfield. I would like to mention that my database server ip is "192.168.56.2". And my netbeans installed pc's ip is "192.168.56.1". My oracle SID is "orcl", user name: "Asystem", Password: "abc123", and the table I want to access is "user_info". Please guys help me.....
THE CODE OF MY JSF PAGE IS TO:

im not sure if you can make a query directly from your jsf,
but its a better practice to do that in your backing bean

Using variable in connection string returns 0 for variable.

hi all- I am pulling data from a visual forxpro database and the connection string is as follows:
Data Source=\\ServerName\FolderName\AR;User ID=Domain\svcAct;Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;
I created a variable called CurrentARPath and stored the path
\\ServerName\FolderName\AR
I then tried using this variable in the Expression property of the connection string as follows:
"Data Source="+(DT_WSTR, 20)@[User::CurrentARPath] + ";User ID=Domain\\svcAct;Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;"
However, the above expression is evaluating the variable to 0 as shown below; this is causing the connection in connection manager to go down(offline) and the OLED data source is complaining.
Data Source=0;User ID=Domain\svcAct;Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;
any idea what i am doing wrong here? thanks in advance!

What datatype is CurrentARPath? Are there any
configurations on the connection string or variable?
Which
package protection level are you using?
CurrentARPath data type - Char
there are no configurations on the connection string. one thing that i should mention is that i have created a variable called ArPath of type object and using it in the for each loop container. this variable gets populated using an execute SQL statement.
i am then mapping the vale from ArPath to CurrentARPath in the loop container.
Package protection level is default(encrypt sensitive)
thanks for the help.

Help, slow VBA OLED connection string query...
