Author excel generated xml file to sql
juvethski

2005-10-27, 9:25 am

hi,
i hv a report generated from a web-based application. although the extension
is '.xls', this is really an xml doc (am i correct?). i say this because if i
'save as' the file, the extension that appears is 'XML spreadsheet'.

i don't want to open the file and save it as an excel file, because that
would mean there will be a manual process in my script. what is the best way
to import this file directly to sql? i tried DTS but DTS cannot recognize the
file.

thanks for your help!

Do you want to import the XML as a BLOB or put it into tables?

You may consider use Bulkload from Sqlxml or using OpenXml i nT-SQL if your
file size is not big.
