使用OPENROWSET将SQL结果导出到Excel，但未注册提供程序

Question

I tried to export the sql result to Excel by using below queries:

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET 
('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=c:\Test.xls;','SELECT client_name, Client_number FROM dbo.Client')
select * from dbo.client

However I got this error:

Msg 7403, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" has not been registered.

After I searched about workaround and downloaded the 2010 Microsoft Office System file "Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable", it still give me the same error when I run the query above. I changed the provider's name to "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" and run below queries again:

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET 
('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 
'Excel 8.0;Database=c:\Test.xls;','SELECT client_name, Client_number FROM dbo.Client')
select * from dbo.client

It still give me this error:

Msg 7403, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" has not been registered.

Can anyone tell me what's going on here please?

Answer 1

to summarize:

In order to use OPENROWSET for export/import excel files from/to x64 SQL Server you should install Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable on your server, not on your workstation. Until you successfully install this x64 bit driver on your server pc you'll get the error

The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" has not been registered

while trying to use this provider in your OPENROWSET queries

Answer 2

This works for 16.0 or 12.0 as follows.. Open SSMS as Administrator, it won't work otherwise.

Run

EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop

Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0 should be there. Run if AllowInProcess and DynamicParameters in results above are not 1.

EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0'

, N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0'

, N'DynamicParameters', 1
GO


EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'ad hoc distributed queries', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO

Then try: (Make sure the spreadsheet is closed!)

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET 
('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0', 
'Excel 12.0;Database=c:\test.xls;','SELECT Column1 FROM [ExcelSheet$]')
select Column1 from dbo.SQLTable

Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0 can be obtained from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54920

The above also works with Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET 
('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 
'Excel 12.0;Database=c:\test.xls;','SELECT Column1 FROM [ExcelSheet$]')
select Column1 from dbo.SQLTable 

In which case

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=13255 is needed.

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

You can replace Excel 12.0 with Excel 8.0 above.
