SQL Connector – Import Store Procedure from Excel Operation

How Can We Help?

< Back

Background

The Import Store Procedure from Excel Operation allows data transfer from an Excel file into a database table via a store procedure.

Steps

  • Create an Excel file which has column names the same as in the store procedure input parameters.
  • Run the integration on a command button and select the store procedure which you created. While selecting the input mappings, please check the box for only excel file and leave all other store procedure input parameters unchecked. Map only Excel file to a File Attachment control on the form.

Here is what the Excel file looks like:

Figure 1: Excel file with the Column names that correspond to the Store Procedure’s input parameters.

Here is an example of the store procedure:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[66QA_Get_66_NumberNum]
@Num as numeric,
@Num2 as numeric
AS
BEGIN
Insert into [Table_NumberNum] (Col_Num, Col_Num2) values (@Num, @Num2)
END

Here are the controls in the activity:

Below are the integration steps in the command option HY9050Object:

Figure 8: Check the ExcelFile as the Input Properties for the Import Store Procedure from Excel operation. Leave the other input properties (i.e. Num, Num2).

 

Figure 9: Map the Input Properties selected previously to applicable controls in the form. New controls can be created automatically if no controls are suitable.

Here is the end result in the database table:
