Please give me exact Error message

Moreover without ODBC connection how this error is coming???????

Please check you are retrieving data via SQL statement. So you have to connect to a data base via connection string then only a SQL statement can execute..

Hey,

Following 3 errors are coming :

1:  ODBC connection failed

SQL ODBC CONNECT32 TO [Excel Files;DBQ=C:\USERS\NIKHIL.GARG\DESKTOP\DISASTER_DATA\Copy of Disaster.xlsx]

2 : ODBC connection failed

Sql SELECT Id, StartDate, EndDate, Country, Type, Sub_Type, Name, Killed, Injured, Year FROM 'C:\Users\nikhil.garg\Desktop\DISASTER_DATA\[Copy of Disaster.xlsx]' WHERE ModificationTime >= #2014-09-05 14:12:58#

3: Cannot open file 'C:\Users\nikhil.garg\Desktop\disaster1.qvd WHERE NOT Exists[Id]' The system cannot find the file specified.

Concatenate

LOAD Id, StartDate, EndDate, Country, Type, Sub_Type, Name, Killed, Injured, Year FROM C:\Users\nikhil.garg\Desktop\disaster1.qvd WHERE NOT Exists[Id]

Hi,

make sure SQL select statement should have object( table ,from which you wish to extract data) at the end of the load statement in the script.

where you are extracting new data ?  from SQL or local desktop ?

because your SQL Script is not having correct end tags.please check once.

"SQL SELECT Id,  StartDate, EndDate, Country, Type, Sub_Type, Name, Killed, Injured, Year FROM 'C:\Users\nikhil.garg\Desktop\Disaster_Data\[Copy of Disaster.xlsx]'

after FROM keyword script is not having correct destination path.so that you are getting Connection error.

     Type,

     Sub_Type,

     Name,

     Killed,

     Injured,

     Year

FROM

[Copy of Disaster.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Disaster);

STORE Disaster into C:\Users\nikhil.garg\Desktop\disaster1.qvd ;

ODBC CONNECT32 TO [Excel Files;DBQ=C:\Users\nikhil.garg\Desktop\Disaster_Data\Copy of Disaster.xlsx] (XUserId is dAHCfQRMNLacWZA, XPassword is QDdXaQRMNLacGMA);

SQL SELECT * FROM `C:\Users\nikhil.garg\Desktop\Disaster_Data\Copy of Disaster.xlsx`.`Disaster$`

SQL SELECT * FROM `C:\Users\nikhil.garg\Desktop\Disaster_Data\Copy of Disaster.xlsx`.`Disaster$`

WHERE ModificationTime >= #2014-09-05 14:12:58#

Please help

Thanx.

[#7]

if you are loading from desktop, it should't have SQL keyword.

please ensure that is it correctly done or not

[#8]

i can show the difference

from SQL:

LOAD EmployeeCode,

    Password,

    FirstName,

    LastName,

    PhoneNumberCode,

    EmailAddress,

    ManagerId,

    ResetPassword,

    "RoleIdentifier_ID",

    ActiveFlag,

    ModifiedDate,

    CreateDatetime,

    Location;

SQL SELECT *

FROM RM.dbo.Employee;

from Desktop:

LOAD

EmployeeCode,

    Password,

    FirstName,

    LastName,

    PhoneNumberCode,

    EmailAddress,

    ManagerId,

    ResetPassword,

    "RoleIdentifier_ID",

    ActiveFlag,

    ModifiedDate,

    CreateDatetime,

    Location

FROM

INPUT.txt

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is '\t', msq);

your script is mixed up both.so please correct that.then you wont get connection pblm.

Hey ,

I remove SQL keyword but still same error is there.

SQL##f - SqlState: 07001, ErrorCode: 4294964286, ErrorMsg: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1.

SQL SELECT * FROM `C:\Users\nikhil.garg\Desktop\Disaster_Data\Copy of Disaster.xlsx`.`Disaster$`

WHERE ModificationTime >= #2014-09-05 14:12:58#

ANd 1 more question :

Do we have to define or declare "ModificationTime" anywhere ??

I think the ODBC connection that is established between  excel file cannot find the file.

Why are you not using the file to directly load it via Table Files button....

Why are you specifically creating an ODBC connection to excel file....

MOREOVER I GOT THE ISSUE.

YOU ARE NOT CREATING THE CONNECTION STRING TO THE PARTICULAR EXCEL FILE .

YOU HAVE DIRECTLY USED THE EXCEL FROM Select BUTTON....

PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE BELOW.

YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONNECTION STRING AND THE THE SQL STATEMENT.

THIS WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM....
