openrowset's annoying scientific notation?


openrowset's annoying scientific notation? Matt
8/9/2007 11:44:00 PM
sql server programming: I am using openrowset to load Excel file. Some column has a very big number
as Identify code.
I've use IMEX=1 in the connection string. However, it still convert the big
ID number to scientific notation and the lower digit number missed.

Anyway to avoid it?

BTW, I forgot to mention that it only happens when I am trying to insert the
column in another table column with type varchar(255)

insert into (aVarchar255Column)
select BigNumberID
from openrowset(....)

I use this process which may help.

-Build an Excel template file and format the template accordingly
-Copy the template to a new file
-Use openrowset to insert data into new file

The formatting issue is on the Excel side so you will need to format the
destination file accordingly.
