I want to update a table using data from an excel sheet. My excel file have just two columns, one with a uniqueidentifier and the other with a reference. I tried to use the OPENROWSET command to update my table, but the database have a security property that doesn't allows me to do it.
My idea now is to create a new table in my database with those two columns, and update the data in my table later. To create the data in my database I tried to use the Import Wizard in SQL Server but when I tried to do it, I got the following messages:
Error 0xc020901c: Data Flow Task 1: There was an error with Source - Sheet1$.Outputs[Excel Source Output].Columns[PST_WSI_RefDes] on Source - Sheet1$.Outputs[Excel Source Output]. The column status returned was: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020902a: Data Flow Task 1: The "Source - Sheet1$.Outputs[Excel Source Output].Columns[PST_WSI_RefDes]" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "Source - Sheet1$.Outputs[Excel Source Output].Columns[PST_WSI_RefDes]" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task 1: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on Source - Sheet1$ returned error code 0xC020902A. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
I know those messages refer to my data, but my excel file have 12k lines and I don't know what line has problem.
How to investigate what line has problem? Or, is there other ways to import data from excel?
