I am trying to import an excel sheet into sql server table. I have written the data access layer.

However I am unable to use Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 and I want to use Microsoft.office.interop.excel.

This can be added as reference and imported to bin.

How to get the exact file path for the excel via command line.

any suggestion or code snippet pleasE?
.Thanks.

Do not use JET.OLEDB.4.0 drivers! Use the newest one: ACE.OLEDB.xx.x!
Using Interop is not recommended.

Do you have any pointers to where I can enter a customer path for excel file and that uses the ACE.OLEDB.xxx?

Hi,
If you have to simply excel import to database then you can do the same
with Excel import utility of SQL Server without code.
Let me know if you have some specific purpose or any data manupulation or not.

Solution 3

Two ways:
Solution 1 - programmatically:
1) to connect to the MS Excel workbook via ADO.NET (ACE.OLEDB)[^] using this connection string[^]
2) fetch data into datatable object
3) populate data into MS SQL server via SqlBulkCopy[^] (first you need to be connected to MS SQL server).

Solution 2 - manually:

Solution 2

The excel import utility is not useful for me here..I tried it before.
Im having date as a string in sql due to legacy transformation at the moment.
the date search dont work using sql import. This is by design for now.This cant be changed for a reason.

can someone point me hints in c# . please.
