如何使用SQL Server数据工具覆盖数据库表数据

Question

I'm currently working on a small project using sql data tools. I'm getting data from excel sheet and write it back to my database table. from the database table I'm generating a report. Time to time I'm updating my excel sheet. but it won't update in my database table. how do I clear the table and rewrite excel sheet data to database table when run the project every time?

Answer 1

post build script would be how and when I would clear or synchronize the data. Then you have to write the truncate or delete and the insert and/or update sections to move data from your excel document to the sql table. I would suspect that the SQL table is a better place to maintain the data though!!! If you maintain in SQL you can always have a query to see what it is in Excel at any given time and you don't have to worry about synching back to SQL.
