Excel data can be imported to SQL easily by using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard which is available in SQL Server management Studio itself.
Right click on Database then select Task then Import data. Wizard opens up and just follow the instructions.
Please feel free to revert in case if you need additional details.

  • Import multiple files using sql server management studio

    Using sql server management studio I want to do 2 things.
    - Import all txt files from a directory as tables into my DB.
    - Add an additional field to each new table which contains the table name.
    Can anyone help me?

    There are couple of ways to do it:
    File naming conventions : YourFileName_SystemId.txt
    You can create one extra column in table or may be name a table with system id. Then after loading the data you can update that column with the system id.
       components required:
     ForEachLoopContainer - To get file and store file name in a variable
     Expression Task (if SSIS 2012 or above) or variable expression or script task to seperate file name from systemId
     Data Flow Task - to load data
     Execute SQL Task - to update last column or specific table based on precedence constraints  
    Note: You can also add extra column in data flow via
    derived column transformation.
    Ex.:
    Load file via foreach loop
    Split string via seprator
    2: Loading different system file in different folder
    you can have predefined folder structure ex: SystemId1, SyetemId2 etc and can download respective txt file in their system folder. Then you can easily identity which file belong to which system and then load it to the respective table.
    3: Use first row of text file to hold the system value
    Use first row to have the system id and then skip row while fetching data. 
    Note: Then you have to read first row through script task to get the system id.
    hope this will help

    Sorry, missed the message from the errorlog in the original post. You shouldn't have included that big .Net dump that hid the important facts. :-)
    My first Google attempt on that message (which I have never seen before) suggests that the TCP Enpoint is stopped, so try this:
    ALTER ENDPOINT [TSQL Default TCP]
    STATE=STARTED;

  • How to create a package without BIDS in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

    I have inherited some SSIS packages that I found I can edit by opening the .dtsx file in my local copy of Microsoft SQL Server management studio.  I then get Control Flow tab, Data Flow tab etc.  I can add or change or delete any of the control
    or data flows.  I have found that if I use the same path to the local file where the packages are stored that exists on the server, I can edit the dtsx file on my local machine and copy the dtsx file to the server into the same directory structure and
    sucessfully execute the package on the SQL 2008 server.
    I have VS 2010 installed.  I have read that I have to install VS 2008 to use BIDS from within VS.  However, this has not worked out very well.  Since I can basically create a new package by deleteing all of the control and data flows from
    an existing package, I am in pretty good shape.  However, I would just like to know if there is a way to create a new dtsx file from within Microsoft SQL Server management studio.  Also one thing I have not been able to change is the event handler
    name or package exploration name....it is just an annoyance since it does not cause any problems, just would like to be able to rename it.   

    Hi Fred,
    We cannot develop SSIS package in SQL Server Management Studio. If we use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, we can save it as a package but the package is rather simple.
    We use Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) or SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to develop SSIS packages. To develop SSIS 2008 packages, we must use BIDS installed by SQL Server 2008, and the BIDS 2008 can only be integrated with Visual Studio 2008.
    To develop SSIS 2012 packages, we use the SSDT installed by SQL Server 2012 which uses Visual Studio 2010 shell and can only be integrated with Visual Studio 2010.
    Different versions of SSIS package have different package formats/schemas. If you can create SSIS packages project in you Visual Studio 2010, it means that you have installed SSDT already, and the packages you design are SSIS 2012 packages. If you open and
    eidt SSIS 2008 packages in you Visual Studio 2010, the packages will be upgraded to SSIS 2012 package format. SSIS 2012 packages cannot be downgraded to SSIS 2008 packages or deployed to SSIS 2008 server.

  • SQL Server Management Studio and Native Client different behaviour on delete

    I have a problem with transaction containing insert and delete to same table and some select/insert/update to some other tables. Problematic table has primary key defined as combination of column1 and column2.
    When two different instances using Native Client execute simultaneously this code and make inserts to table then delete part of code causes deadlock. However this doesn't happen when trying this situation in MS SQL Server Management Studio query.
    Is there some option that is missing from Native Client connection string which can cause this different behaviour?

    Hello,
    I don't think there is a difference in the behavior. SSMS uses ADO.NET and that Provider base on the Native Client.
    The difference will be more that way, when the transaction is commited and so the locks released. I guess your application keeps the transaction (much) longer open; you should commit a transaction as soon as possible to avoid long time locks and so
    deadlocks.

  • Can not connect the database via query string (C#). The SQL Server Management Studio is showing the full path of a location instead of database name.

    I can not connect to the database via C#. The database is showing full path of the database file instead of the database name. See the pic: a database showing only name 'emart' and the other database showing the full path.
    : Robby

    Hi,
    According to your post, I know that the database name is showing file path of the database rather than the database name in SQL Server Management Studio. You were not able to
    establish a connection to the database using C#.
    As Olaf said, was any error message thrown out when the connection failed? How did you create these databases?
    You can use the following T-SQL to attach the database and see if the issue persists.
    CREATE DATABASE
    databasename
        ON (FILENAME = 'filepath _Data.mdf'),
        (FILENAME = 'filepath_Log.ldf')
    FOR ATTACH;

  • Error Message from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

    I have problem editing the views that I created.  I never have this problem before and I don't know if
    I have touched something on the pane that alters my viewing on Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.  For example, if I want to edit the top 200 rows of my view called dbo.sl_admission_reg9, it will give me this error:
    Invalid prefix of suffix characters (MS Viual Database Tools).
    Please help.
    Thank you very much.
    Sally

    Are you trying to edit the top 200 rows of a SQL Server 2012 database using the 2008 R2 SQL Server Management
    Stud? If so you just need to upgrade SQL Server Management Studio to 2012 or edit the rows using a SQL query.

  • Impossible to open .dtproje file after re-installing SQL Server Management Studio

    Hi all,
    today, after re-installing SQL Server Management Studio from a package downloaded from MS web site (SQLManagementStudio_x64_FRA.exe), I tried to open a SSIS package file via Visual Studio and I get a message stating that  this type of project (.dtproj)
    is not supported.
    Here are the events that lead to this problem:
    We have SQL Server 2005 installed on a server and are planning to migrate to SQL Server 2012.
    1 - Earlier this year, to solve a problem that we had with the SSMS client, we installed SSMS 2012 client on my station.
    At this point, it worked fine for SSMS and when I tried to access SSIS it converted the packages  to SSIS 2012 and it worked fine too.
    2 - Yesterday, I tried to access SSMS and I had the message that the test period had expired; at this point I could open a SSIS file.
    3 - To solve the problem with SSMS we decided to re-install it. It worked fine for SSMS but now I am not able to open a SSIS file.
    Do you have any idea of what the problem is and what should I do to solve it?
    It seems that there are some SSIS component missing, how could I get them back?

    You are welcome Sylviep,
    Based on what I see you want to create BI projects (e.g. a SSIS project), thus it will be enough to install SSDT
    which is part of the SQL Server installation media. I do not see why you would re-install SQL Server itself.

  • SBS 2003 migration to SBS 2011 - Question about SQL Server Management Studio

    I am preparing to do a migration from SBS2003 to SBS2011. In the migration instructions it tells me to install SQL Server Management Studio Express Service
    Pack 2. I have SQL Server Management Studio (NOT EXPRESS) installed and it is on SP2. 
    Do I need to also install the express version to do the migration?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting.
    I think you don't need to install the express version.

  • What version of SQL Server Management Studio do I need?

    I need to install SQL Server Management Studio on my windows 8.1 PRO 64-bit pc to manage SQL server 2008 R2. do I download the 2014 or 2012  or 2008 version?

    Hello,
    Install the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) of the same version of SQL Server you have installed.
    If you modify maintenance plans using a newer version of SSMS, you then cannot use a lower version of SSMS to modify/change it again.
    Hope this helps.
