Jdbc excel connectivity

can i connect to excl using java jdbc odbc connection
and retrieve data from excel files

sadly you can. But because you shouldn't we're not going to tell you how.
Excel is no database, don't abuse it like it is.

  • Java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when trying to create a JDBC pool connection.

    Hi, I get a java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when making a JDBC
    pool connection via the console of WLS 7.0. I use SQL Server 2000 in Win2K
    SP2 environment. Exactly the same configuration works perfectly in WinXP
    Pro. Can anyone advise me what might cause this problem? Thanks a lot.

    show us your pool definitions from the config.xml file. There's
    probably a
    problem
    with the URL or properties.

    tabbed sheet in the same spreadsheet. </p><p>The package was&nbsp;working just fine until May 9 2013, when suddenly every single&nbsp;Data Flow task with an Excel Destination&nbsp;displayed error icons and raised the&nbsp;following
    error message when opening the Advanced Editor:</p><p>SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". <br />Error at &lt;DataFlow task name&gt;: SSIS

    information on why the Acquire Connection method call failed. Exception from HRESULT: 0Xc020801c (Microsoft.SQlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)</p><p>Originally the error message reported that the Error Code was "0x8000FFFF", but I can't seem
    to reproduce that error code since. Now I am only getting the above error message.</p><p>From the time I created the original package (when it worked fine) until now, I have been using the same computer, writing to a (32 bit) 2010 Excel file in
    a local folder. The filename and location have not changed. The ConnectionString has not changed. The Connnection String I am using is Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Conversion\Conversion Results_dt01.xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL
    12.0 XML;HDR=YES;". </p><p>Now an attempt to create and test a NEW Connection Manager yields me this error. "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unspecified error.",&nbsp; whereas before I had
    no problems creating a new connection manager.</p><p>I checked a second SSIS package, which I also built during the past 3 months, which loads multiple sheets from multiple Excel files to a SQL Server 2008 database holding table. It uses the same
    ACE OLE DB 12.0 connection to load the Excel speadsheets and this package continues to work fine on the same workstation.</p><p>In desparation, wondering if the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver had become corrupt (even though the second package
    was raising no errors), I did download and install the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver.&nbsp; That did not solve my problems with the first package.</p><p>I need to get this package running again ASAP as it is targeted for UAT testing in a
    matter of days. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!</p>

    I submitted this issue above and now I am having the same problem again. I am using the same local computer, the same operating system (WinXp v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) as originally described. I am working with the same SSIS package that
    writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. This package has been successfully executed multiple times, but now I am suddenly getting the same error as follows:
    Error at 1ConversionContacts [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
    An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description: "Unspecified error".
    Error at DFlow Write soft deleted duplicate claims to Excel sheet [Excel Destination - write duplicate claim nbrs that have been removed to Excel [61]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.  The AcquireConnection method
    call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
    The package will not run because of these multiple errors (multiple because it occurs on every single excel destination in the package).
    I have Run64BitRuntime set to false on the project. I have triple checked that the excel file name (which I created and can access) exists with the correct name in the correct path, which is local on my machine. The file is the same file in the same
    location as when the package worked.  I am running the SSIS service under my own network login, as I was when the package worked. I have been consistently getting this same error whenever I change my network password without updating the password
    in the SSIS service, but I have triple verified that the service is using my latest password. If I try to open and edit the Excel Destination in any DataFlow task I get the same error. I can successfully create a new Excel Connection Manager pointing
    to the same excel file. However if I try to assign the newly created Excel Connection Manager in the data flow, I cannot activate the drop down to choose the Excel sheet without getting an 'Unspecified error' message. I then swapped out
    the file with its template version, and ensured the name was updated as correct. I still get the same errors.
    Oh, and the SSIS package is extracting data from a SQL Server 2008 database with an ADO.net Connection Manager using Windows authentication. I have no problems with the SQL Server connection, it has always worked and still does.  It is only
    the connection to excel output file which is locally stored on my machine.
    Has anyone got any suggestions for me?

  • SSIS 2012: SSIS Error Code "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

    Hi,
    This is kind of weird issue that I am experiencing with excel connection manager in SSIS 2012. This issue occurs sometimes but when I close and re-open SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools - newer BIDS) then this issues goes off temporarily.
    Just FYI, through SSDT environment I executed the package successfully with both settings Run64bit runtime setting to Yes and No when error does not occur.
    So far I have installed
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255 (Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable).
    I still remember for older versions of SQL Server (2005 & 2008) that I have executed Excel connection SSIS packages with Run64bit runtime = false i.e. in 32-bit mode. As far as I know I think Excel 64-bit issue has been resolved with SQL Server
    2012 release.
    Here is the detail of error message:
    TITLE: Package Validation Error

    SQL Server 2012 {Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3368.0 (X64) } , Excel 2010 (32-bit). I am developing SSIS code on Virtual desktops with Windows 7 32-bit OS.
    Also it occurred to me that since Virtual Desktops are on Shared Infrastructure, the source files and SSIS packages (code) can be on Shared drives for e.g. \\<Corpnet>\userdata\<Corp_Users_Grp>\<Username>\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Integration
    Services Project2\Integration Services Project2\Package.dtsx.
    Does this kind of Shared drives have any impact to give this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    P.S.: I had look at this forum question -->

    Hi Arthur,
    Thanks for your response.
    Yes, it looks like SSIS still has bunch of issues with Excel files like as follows:
    1) Some times excel source files cannot be parsed by excel source connection manager.
    2) For derive column conversion, we can't replace the existing column. rather, we have to add the derived column as " add as new column" which is tough to manage  while destination mapping.
    3) If an column in excel contains a data which is not of the data type assigned for the column in excel, the excel source reads that data as "null". For the same, we can't validate the data and redirect the erroneous data in reject file.  <-- For
    this we tried IMEX setting also
    4) In multi-tab/sheet excel file, excel source is unable to detect a tab and identify the metadata of the excel.
    I am also checking Microsoft connect for Excel issues with SSIS 2012(https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/SearchResults.aspx?SearchQuery=excel#&&PageIndex=22
    As worst case scenario, I am thinking of converting Excel to CSV file or Flat text file. (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2772/importing-data-from-excel-using-ssis--part-2/).
    Do you think it is advisable to convert Excel into CSV or Flat file.
    Thanks,
    Ketan

  • CAn you use excel connection manager to connect to a folder that is protected with a username and password?

    I have folder on my server that my ssis package needs to get into. I have an excel file that I am connecting to using Excel Connection Manager. My ssis package is unable to connect to the folder. How do I get this to work. Thank you

    Hi RythmMusic,
    I am not sure how the folder is protected with username and password, Are you talking about folder is at restricted access and rest it ask you to punch window credential. In that case you need to run the ssis package with account which have access to that
    folder or use a proxy account to run under.
    If it protected from third party software then it need to decrypted by that third party software only. SSIS won;t be able to help here.

  • AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager Excel connection Manager failed

    I used VS Studio 2008 (BIDS version 10.50.2500.0) on an WinXp machine (v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) to create a package that writes multiple query results to different tabbed sheets of a single excel spreadsheet. The package was working just fine and has run
    successfully multiple times, but all of a sudden when opening the project, every single Data Flow task with an Excel Connection Manager displayed error icons. Each raises the following error message when attempting to open the Advanced Editor:
    SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". Error at DataFlow task name: SSIS error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method
    call to the connection manager Excel connection Manager failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the Acquire Connection method call failed. Exception from HRESULT: 0Xc020801c (Microsoft.SQlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
    From the time I created the original package (when it worked fine) until now:
     1) I have been using the same computer, the same login account and the same permissions.
     2) I have been writing to the same (32 bit) 2010 Excel file (which I created) in a folder on my local machine.
     3) The filename and location have not changed; a template file is used each time to move and overwrite the previous file. Both are in the same locations.
     4) I can independently open the target Excel file and the template Excel files with no errors.
     6) The ConnectionString has not changed. The Connnection String I am using is
      Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Conversion\Conversion\Results_dt01.xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL 12.0 XML;HDR=YES;".
     7) Run64BitRuntime is set to False.
    8)  Delay Validation is set to true
    9) This is not running under a SQL job  
    10) There are no child packages being run
    I CAN create a NEW Excel Connection Manager, assigning it the exact same target Excel spreadsheet, successfully, but when I attempt to assign it to the Data Flow destination this error occurs:
    "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unspecified error."
    Thinking that the driver might be corrupt, I opened a second SSIS package, which also uses the Excel Connection Manager (same driver) and this package continues to work fine on the same workstation with no errors.
    I have searched online for causes of this error for many hours and found nothing that helps me to solve this issue.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

    Yes, I have verified that the Excel file is not in use or opened by anyone, including me. It has been two months since I opened this particular package, although I have been working with other packages in this project. I just discovered that another
    package in the same project has the same problem - all Data Flows that output to an Excel Destination now have the same error icons. This second packages outputs to an entirely different Excel file than in the first package.  A summay:
    Package #1 has error on every Excel Destination and uses templateA to overwrite fileA and then writes to fileA
    Package #2 has error on every Excel Desintation and uses templateB to overwrite fileB and then writes to fileB
    Package #3 has no error on any Excel Destination and is linked to multiple files (none are A or B)
    Package #1 and #2 are in the same project, but Package #3 is in a separate project .
    I will try replacing the Excel files with new ones for Package 1 and 2.

  • Excel connection manager - Error after Installing Office 2013

    Hi Team,
    My SSIS package used to work fine until I Upgraded my Office 2010 to Office 2013. After upgrading to 2013, the SSIS package which is created using SQL 2012 is throwing error for Excel Connection manager. Below is the error what I see
    TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio

    FYI, I am running the package with Run64BitRunTime property = False.
    Do let me know the solution please. It will be of great help as we are proposing this tool in a migration project.

    I found the solution. Thanks
    You don't need office on your server (not recommended and not supported). You should install
    Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable for excel (xlsx) files and then use the Excel
    This download will install a set of components that facilitate the transfer of data between existing Microsoft Office files such as Microsoft Office Access 2010 (*.mdb and *.accdb) files and Microsoft Office Excel 2010 (*.xls, *.xlsx, and *.xlsb) files to
    other data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server. Connectivity to existing text files is also supported. ODBC and OLEDB drivers are installed for application developers to use in developing their applications with connectivity to Office file formats.

    Thanks for help

    Hi is there any way to install 32 ACE OLE DB in 64 bit system without uninstall my other software .
    I tried yesterday to instal 32 bit ACE but its told me u need to uninstall 64 bit software first :(
    thanks
    When using the command line, you can force the installation of the 32-bit version while the 64-bit version has already been installed.

    Hello Keerthi,
    Can you please modify settings and set delay validation for Excel connection manager? I think its validating connection and failing because it might be picking that from some variable.
    Alternatively, please run package using below and see what happens.
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'DTEXEC.exe /SQL "Folder\Package" /SERVER Servername'
    I will recommend you to follow steps in below link.

    Hi Vinay,
    As Visakh mentioned, the issue usually occurs because the package runs in 64-bit runtime, however, the Excel driver is 32-bit. According to your another thread, it seems that you use SSIS 2005, right? In SSIS 2005, there is no “use 32 bit runtime” option
    for the package executions of a SSIS package job step. In this condition, you have two choices:
    Install the 64-bit Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 Provider on the production server. Here is the download link (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe):
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=13255 
    Create a CmdExec type job step instead of SSIS Package job step, so that we can call 32-bit DTExec.exe to execute the package within command line. For more information, please see:

  • Serious problem of jdbc-mysql connectivity using tomcat

    hi everybody
    i m in serious problem since last 15-20 days. i m trying hard to make the connection jdbc-mysql using tomcat with the help of a jsp test page but every time i am facing almost the similar probems listed below in detail:
    to make sure that the jdrivers's .jar (mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar) available for such connections working fine i have tried the above said connection without using tomcat....which is working fine...for this i have created a dummy database with a dummy table ..and written some queries in the .java file of my code which upon running inserts the specified values in the defined(dummy) database.
    this is the confirmation that the classpath etc..are ok in regard to the mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar
    now i have placed a copy of this .jar file in to the commons/lib directory of the tomcat web server(which is suppossed to be the place for such external jars)
    after doing so i have followed 2 methods :
    method 1st:........
    i have made aone more jar file from the following .java file....
    import javax.naming.*;
    import javax.sql.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    public class TestSQLLoad
    String user = "Not Connected";
    String pwd = "no pwd";
    int id = -1;
    public void init() {
    try{
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    if(ctx == null ) {
    throw new Exception("Boom - No Context");
    DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/TestDB");
    if (ds != null) {
    Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
    if(conn != null) {
    user = "Got Connection "+conn.toString();
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    String q = "select name, password, id from user";
    ResultSet rst = stmt.executeQuery(q);
    if(rst.next()) {
    user=rst.getString(1);
    pwd=rst.getString(2);
    id = rst.getInt(3);
    conn.close();
    }catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    public String getUser() {
    return user;
    public String getPassword() {
    return pwd;
    public int getID()
    return id;
    after compiling it at the cmd prompt i made a .jar file from the .class of it and named it MySQLLoad.jar...then i placed it also in to the commons/lib directory where the mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar was already placed.
    then i have changed the server.xml and web.xml files from the conf directory of the tomcat as given here:

    after all this i have taken a jsp page whose code is here:
    (the mysql database used is named as "testdb" and the table name is "user" which is having fields name,password and id)
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>DB Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <%
    TestSQLLoad tst = new TestSQLLoad ( );
    tst.init();
    %>
    <h2>Results</h2>
    User <%= tst.getUser() %>
    Pwd <%= tst.getPassword() %>
    Id <%= tst.getID() %>
    </body>
    </html>
    and placed it in to the Tomcat 5.5\webapps\tomcat-docs\testdb directory and saved as test-db.jsp
    when i run this page on the browser i get a lot may errors stating
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
    An error occurred at line: 12 in the jsp file: /testdb/test-db.jsp

    note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.4 logs.
    AND NOW WHEN just to get rid of such errords i try to include a statement
    <%@ page import="pkg.TestSQLLoad" %> in the jsp page code (and also place the MySQLLoad.class file in a folder called pkg and place it in the same directory where the jsp page is )and make it look like
    <html>
    <head>
    <%@ page import="pkg.TestSQLLoad" %>
    <title>DB Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <%
    TestSQLLoad tst = new TestSQLLoad ( );
    tst.init();
    %>
    <h2>Results</h2>
    User <%= tst.getUser() %>
    Pwd <%= tst.getPassword() %>
    Id <%= tst.getID() %>
    </body>
    </html>
    now when i run it i get the following errors:
    exception
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
    Generated servlet error:

    in response to the above error i have even tried placing the MySQLLoad.class directly in the testdb folder along with the jsp page without keeping it in a package named pkg and then importing directly as <@page import="MySQLLoad" %>
    that too gave me the following errors

    and if i do not use the statement <%@ page import="MySQLLoad"%> then also i get the errors like

    THE 2nd Method:
    in my second method i did the same changes in the web.xml and server.xml
    then i took a jsp page with the following code:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

    Connection conn=dataSource.getConnection();
    Statement stmt=conn.createStatement();
    ResultSet rset=stmt.executeQuery("select * from user");
    if (rset.next()){

  • How to use JDBC database connection in Solaris

    Hi all,
    I am new to Solaris and i want to create an application using JDBC database connection.
    I want a small piece of code, probably a login page code that verifies the username from a OpenOffice database (.odb) file. I am particular to know the driver name, etc. If possible give the code using JNDI loopkup.
    Thanks in advance,
    Parasou.

    Sure no problem.
    Please stand by while I do your work for you.

  • CR4E - New JDBC (JNDI) connection at runtime

    Is it possible to create a new JDBC (JNDI) connection at runtime using the propertyBag to set the attributes?  I tried this but received error message stating "error finding jndi name".

    Are you specifying a JDBC or JNDI connection?
    If JDBC, did you set the (Optional) JNDI Connection property?
    If you set the JNDI property for the JDBC connection, it'll try connecting to the JNDI.
    The JDBC has the optional JNDI property, so that you can design a report against JDBC, then use the JNDI when deployed to a J2EE.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda
