I have created a rather large SQL Query in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. I got the query running great in the studio. Now I want to bring that code into Excel to be able to access it and refresh as needed. But when I copy the code it cuts off about 1/3 of the way as if I've hit a character limit. Does anyone know a way around this?
SSMS has limits..to overcome that,you can export to file like below

I currently have some SQL code that I am running in Excel to retrieve some data from a database. However, Excel crashes every time I run it. However, I know the code does work, because a colleague was able to use SQL Oracle Developer to export the data in about 30 seconds.
I want to be able to run the SQL code and get the data for myself but I am not permitted to have SQL Oracle Developer because of security issues (I presume there is a risk I may accidentally corrupt the database).
So my question is whether there is other software/method to export the data using the SQL without have the security issue I mentioned above?
I look forward to hearing from you all.

I am a front-end developer and have been asked to explore the possibility of automating some reports by importing SQL queries into an Excel spreadsheet.
Is this a complicated process, or something one could do by following a set of procedures?
Can someone point me in the direction of straightforward procedures?
this is very easy to connect Excel to SQL Server : just click on the menu
Data / External data / Other sources / SQL Server
Then enter your server name and select the database and table of your choice.
You can then use the Refresh command whenever your datbase changed
Maybe with SQL Server Management Studio you can do this. Run a query, right click on the result tab, click on Copy or Copy with Headers then simply go to an Excel file and paste the results onto the spreadsheet.
You can connect to sql from excel itself. In data-->from other sources-->from sql server, connect to your server and provide database and tables there and choose table option there. You will get necessary data there.

I have an existing Access database that has out grown it's usefulness. I have written a Visual Basic program that uses a SQL Server database and have been re-entering the data from the Access file into SQL Server individually.
I still have 300+ records to move and would like to find a way to do all this using either a data snippet in Visual Basic, or using SQL Server Express. I'm smart enough to set up and use Access, and smart enough to create a program and database in Visual Basic and SQL Server but for some reason I not smart enough to move the records between the 2 databases.
When I originally created the .mdf file I attempted to move the records at that time but everything I tried didn't work so I figured I'd get it later, but now I have 300+ records in the .mdf file and need to get the others moved over. Anybody have any ideas?
Easiest thing to do is create your database, then in SSMS's Object Explorer, right click on the database, Tasks -> Import Data ... and go through the Import/Export wizard, selecting MS Access as your source.
I am currently working on an application that is meant to be relaying realtime data on screens. I would like to know how to automatically report the resultset of a SQL query to a Microsoft excel sheet using SQL Server 2005.
Many thanks for your audience and anticipated help.

Probably the simplest way of exporting from SQL Server to Excel in TSQL with OPENROWSET. Find out more.
Then schedule the running of the TSQL using SQL Server Agent.
The best would be to write a program Or even a excel Plugin in .net that writes your query result to a csv file at certain intervals that you can open with excel.
When I use the query designers in VS2008, how do I save the results to a file?
The output window is truncating the XML datatype - even if it didn't truncate, it still requires cut and paste to save the results to a file.
I don't think the built-in VS2008 query designer is intended or designed for that task. It works well for designing and tweaking queries - but if you need to really extract the data, I would recommend going to the MS SQL Server Management Studio (if you're using SQL Server) or any other dedicated front-end for your database system.
