I have a stored procedure that I'm trying to export to excel.
insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=c:\sales.xls;;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')
exec des_z_test '19FDA2C7-E494-E411-80D2-0050568C3F74', 'E1AB4FD4-4C3B-E411-80D2-0050568C3F74'
However, I'm getting this error. The stored procedure runs fine on it's own. I suspect the issue is from the insert statement
Msg 15281, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
SQL Server blocked access to STATEMENT 'OpenRowset/OpenDatasource' of component 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', search for 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' in SQL Server Books Online.
Any ideas?

Can you please help me to fix this query?
SELECT
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI',
'Server=.;Trusted_Connection=Yes;',
'SET FMTONLY OFF;EXEC master.sys.xp_readerrorlog')
I get this error:
Msg 11519, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sys.sp_describe_first_result_set, Line 1 [Batch Start Line 12]
The metadata could not be determined because statement 'EXEC master.sys.xp_readerrorlog' invokes an extended stored procedure.
I have enabled Ad-Hoc Distributed Queries as well by using below query but getting same error.
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
GO
You cannot use OPENROWSET for an extended stored procedure. You could create a linked server
EXEC {Your Linked Server Name}.master.sys.xp_readerrorlog;
But you say you have 120 instances. (Quite why you don't have management software for so many, is another question...) So you are better off using Powershell to do this. For example
Get-SqlErrorLog
-Since LastMonth
-ServerInstance "your","Server","Instances","Here"
You would probably want other code to filter and group the results, but you haven't shown what you want.
For example you could do something like this
Get-Content "ServerInstances.txt"
| Get-SqlErrorLog -After "2022-09-16 10:00:00"
| Where Source -eq "Backup"
I'm trying to import data from an Excel file on my disk C: but when I execute the query
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=C:\Hola.xlsx', 'SELECT * FROM [Ripley$]')
I get this error
Msg 7308, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' cannot be used for distributed queries because the provider is configured to run in single-threaded apartment mode
I tried this
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
GO
but it does not work. Somebody could help me please?
I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 and office 2010
The SELECT statement inside your connection string is not needed, you can remove it:
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=C:\Hola.xlsx', [Ripley$]')
You may also not need the Xml portion (but I'm not sure if that would cause an error):
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;Database=C:\Hola.xlsx', [Ripley$]')
I'm trying to import data from a XML file into a database. I've made a test script using BULK INSERT, but when I've tested on the live database, permissions for BULK are disabled.
Attempt #1:
BULK INSERT XMLTable FROM 'C:\Radu\test.xml' WITH (ROWTERMINATOR = '>');
So, I have continued research to find a way to avoid using BULK and found other options, such as OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE. But unfortunately, rights for these operations are also revoked.
Attempt #2:
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.xml)};DefaultDir=C:\Radu\test.xml;',
'SELECT * FROM [test.xml];' )
resulted in an error:
Msg 15281, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
SQL Server blocked access to STATEMENT 'OpenRowset/OpenDatasource' of component 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online.
I've tried to RECONFIGURE the permissions for this, but with no success.
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
also resulted in:
Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 94
User does not have permission to perform this action.
Msg 5812, Level 14, State 1, Line 2
You do not have permission to run the RECONFIGURE statement.
Msg 15123, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 51
The configuration option 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' does not exist, or it may be an advanced option.
Msg 5812, Level 14, State 1, Line 4
You do not have permission to run the RECONFIGURE statement.
I'm still trying to find a solution just to import the information into the database, I don't need a special format, just to get the data in the system, although ideally I would like to import each xml line as a record in my table.
It appears that most of my options are cut off, so I would very much appreciate any suggestions.
UPDATE:
I am going to create a stored procedure to import this data, so ideally this would be generic, no hardcoding with the XML information.
For BULK INSERT operation, you need administrator privileges for that database. You can take XML data in XML variable and insert into table as mentioned in this link :
Import 'xml' into Sql Server
Since you dont have bulk upload permissions then you need some tool to convert the XML into XSLX or XSL then open it and copy all the rows and paste it in the table.
Or
This still uses a bulk load component, try it, if it get worked.

I've got a problem whereby I need to read data from a .txt file into a variable in SQL Server. The read needs to be performed programmatically, as it's going to form part of a stored procedure, and it needs not to utilise the BULK method, as I don't have permissions to use the BULK method on the database in question. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance :)
Can you get them to allow Ad Hoc Distributed Queries? Then you can use OpenRowset or OpenDatasource.
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};DefaultDir=c:\users\graham\desktop;',
'SELECT * FROM [data.txt];'
Here's the recofiguring code, if you need it:
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
go
This is a laborious technique, though -- you sure you can't use client code? Even, I dunno, VBA in Excel or something?
g.
There is no other way to read the contents of a file without these permissions in SQL Server, or without setting up a link to the file. Otherwise, you have to do this through SSIS or using programming.
The solution is to get the permissions to solve your issue.
I have tried the following query in a SQL query
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0;Database=c:\generalholiday.xls','select * from [sheet1$]')
The following error is happened:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)"
returned message "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find
the object 'sheet1$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell
its name and the path name correctly. If 'sheet1$' is not a local
object, check your network connection or contact the server
administrator.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the
column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for
linked server "(null)".
Actually I searched lot of answered based on this queries. But I did not get reliable result for me.
What I have done so far,
I installed access database engine 64 bit, and run the following queries
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'ad hoc distributed queries', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1
GO
but still the above error is occurred. it is headache for me a full day to find this solution.
Please give me solution for this problem.
I am using SQL Server 2008 (64 bit) and MS Office 32 bit
I remember having similar errors setting this up initially on my server and I can't remember which bit solved it, but I believe it may have been running the following:
USE [master]
GO
EXEC master . dbo. sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' , N'AllowInProcess' , 1
GO
EXEC master . dbo. sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' , N'DynamicParameters' , 1
GO
Also, if I remember correctly the Excel file can't be open elsewhere when you try to query it.
