Connecting to and querying a database from a test requires that the correct ODBC driver be used. The correct driver must be specific to both the DBMS and the architecture (64-bit) of the TestArchitect Controller application that uses it. The following utilities may be used to determine whether the correct driver is already installed:
I read through few answers to similar query, and found that splunk doesnot support xls foramt. Splunk can upload only text based format file. Then I came across, splunk ODBC driver, in the blog "Excelling with excel in splunk" (link below).
Microsoft continues to invest in PolyBase. After the release of SQL Server 2019, the SQL Server team had 16 separate fixes and enhancements which reference PolyBase in the title. This is a nice one because it means you can read Excel files without having to pay for a third-party driver.
If you just want to test if a certain driver is present (to show the supported extensions in the CFileOpenDlg for example) just try to CDatabase::OpenEx() it. If it isnt installed an exception gets thrown.
You can check the Excel DSN configuration details from Control Panel Administrative Tools data Sources(ODBC).
Note: If you using a 64 bit environment then most likely you will need to open the 32 bit data sources (ODBC) located at "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
Thanks Jay, is there a way around it? From the Connector perspective, looks like Sage hasn't updated to ODBC driver in a long time. I did try File/USER DSN, which works but has limitation that it uses a drive letter not UNC. Unfortunately, in my environment I can't edit the registry to try and put in a UNC in the registry key. Without UNC can't reliably schedule a report or have someone else do it.
This problem occurs when you submit the following code:proc export data=temp1 outfile='c:\sastest\my100k.xlsb' dbms=excelcs replace ;sheet=mysheet;run;The problem occurs when you are exporting more than 65,536 rows to an Excel XLSX or XLSB workbook and are replacing an existing sheet that has more than 65,536 rows. The problem occurs because of a limitation of the Microsoft Access Connectivity Engine that is connected to the ODBC driver that is used by these engines.
In the Crystal 2008 version I was able to connect to an Excel spreadsheet through DAO and I now see I can't do that in the 2011. Is there an updated driver I need to have to make this work? Has anyone else come across or used this connection before? I have existing reports that are set up this way and now need to connect to the new .xlsx files.
So far I have successfully created other relational connections to Excel files shared by file servers. To do this I have always used the Windows 32 bit ODBC driver for Excel (version 14.00.7248.5000) and then selecting "Excel 12.0" as the "database version" in the DSN configuration. Then, in the Information Design Tool, I use the network layer "ODBC" and the "database" MS Excel 2007 and everything is ok.
I want to use ".xlsx" format Excel file as Data Source in my hand coding Coded UI test. The best information I get is found in MSDN: Creating a Data-Driven Coded UI Test, which has useful information regarding of various data format as below, but it doesn't mention about the ".xlsx" format.
where "data.xlsx" is the Excel file you want to use as Data Source, "Sheet1$" is the worksheet you are using in the Excel file. Using this to replace the normal [TestMethod] attribute before the test method.
This driver can read, write and update spreadsheets in Microsoft OfficeOpen XML (a.k.a. OOXML) spreadsheet format, generated by applicationslike Microsoft Office 2007 and later versions. LibreOffice/OpenOfficecan also export documents in that format since their v3 version.
Note 1 : depending on the application that produced the file, the drivermight succeed or not in retrieving the result of formulas. Someapplications write the evaluated result of formulas in the document, inwhich case the driver will be able to retrieve it. Otherwise the rawformula string will be returned.
Currently, the state of the art in ODBC for Access and Excel is the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable which can be downloaded here. This includes the more popular OLEDB drivers which run well in PowerShell too. These drivers enable you to access a range of data files via SQL as if they were a relational database. Formats include Access, CSV, delimited, DBase and Excel
More commonly, you can specify with a delimited worksheet name followed by a range, the range being a specification of the area of the worksheet just sufficient to enable the driver to find the data you want. If you leave out the range spec entirely, the entire worksheet becomes the table.
Now, before we start doing interesting things with the ACE drivers, I ought to explain a bit about their connection strings. These contain the specification of the ODBC driver you wish to use, and the settings that you wish to transmit to the driver.
This article describes how to use the Databricks ODBC driver to connect Databricks to Microsoft Excel. After you establish the connection, you can access the data in Databricks from Excel. You can also use Excel to further analyze the data.
Thanks for the response. I tried with all jars mentioned in the above post/link but still it didn't work. Also I tried few more alternative solutions but no luck with them also. I copied Jar files in the Hotdeploy folder and also tried with copying in LISA_HOME/jre/lib folder. Any idea on this? One point missed in previous post is I have Jre7 installed on the same machine. Can that be possible failure? Can we copy specific jar files responsible for jdbc odbc connection from Jre7 and try with that?

Download and install the Microsoft Access Driver from Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable. Make sure to download the version matching your operating system: 32 or 64 bit. It is called Access Driver but contains the drivers for all Office connection.
On a 64 bit machine, the Interact with Database Task and Upload Points can only work with 64 bit ODBC Data Sources. This is different compared to the 32-bit ODBC Query SmartName that required the 32 bit driver also on 64 bit machines.
Tabular Editor 2.x is a 32 bit application, and most people usually have the 64 bit version of Office installed (which includes a 64-bit Excel ODBC driver). Unfortunately, Tabular Editor 2.x can't use the 64-bit driver, and simply downloading and attempting to install the 32-bit driver, will give you an error if you already have a 64-bit version of Office installed. However, it is possible to install the 32 bit Excel ODBC driver next to the 64-bit Office, by using this workaround:
You can use FileMaker Pro to create great looking reports from your Access data. And with Microsoft Excel's built-in support for ODBC database queries, you can quickly create pivot tables and charts and graphs from data in your database.
See our list of featured compatible applications for othercommon programs you can use with our drivers.
The driver includes a setup assistant that will walk you through setting up a connectionto your database. On-line help is always available to provide explanations of all parameters. Forsimple connections, you only need to specify the location of your database file! All installation takes place on your Mac - there is no need for an intermediary Windows computer.
The Actual ODBC Driver for Access is the first commercial driver to connect to Access databaseson a Mac without the need for complicated "bridge" or "router" solutions. The driver connects directly to the database file itself. Everything you need to connect to your database is included with the installer. There is nothing else for you to configure or buy when you use the driver withExcel or FileMaker.
The driver supports standard SQL "select" and "join" statements to return data from multiple tables.The current version of the driver is read-only - "insert" and "update" SQL statements arenot supported. Password protected databases are not yet supported.
In addition to connecting to an Access database file, you can also use the driver to perform SQL"select" queries against tab-delimited text files, comma-separated variable (CSV) files, andExcel spreadsheet files. The driver lets you specify whether the top row contains column names. Excel does not need to be installed in order to read data from a .xls or .xlsx spreadsheet file.
You can use our driver to connect to an Access database from your own custom applications - includingPHP and Xojo. Example source code is now available for Carbon, Xojo, and PHP, and we will soon be providing tutorials and example source code for other languages. Many commercial applications take advantage of ODBC connectivity using this driver.
Download and evaluate our driver today. You will be able to install the driver, set up a connection, and retrieve data* from your database using Excel or FileMaker. You will also have access to our on-line help and technical support.
