Using OleDBDataAdapter with Excel 2003

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I have an Excel 2003 file that has a table on a spreadsheet

I can successfully fill a datatable and a datagridview using a dataadapter

When I come to use the update command however I always get a concurrency error, I don't believe it's a concurrency error but that seems to be the default error messages for zero records updated

The connection string is

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source= F:\My Folder\My Sheet.xls; <br />
Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=YES";

The update statement for testing is
Update [My_Sheet$] Set [Part Code]='__foo' where ([Part Code] like '*OQ2*')

The update code is

VB

Public Sub Update(ByVal value As PartsList.PartsListDataTableDataTable)

    Try
        Me.m_oDataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Connection.Open()
        Me.m_oDataAdapter.Update(value)

    Catch ex As DBConcurrencyException

        Stop
    Finally
        If Me.m_oDataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Connection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then Me.m_oDataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Connection.Close()

    End Try

End Sub

Error detail is:

System.Data.DBConcurrencyException was caught
Message: Concurrency violation: the UpdateCommand affected 0 of the expected 1 records.

The stack trace is:

at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.UpdatedRowStatusErrors(RowUpdatedEventArgs rowUpdatedEvent, BatchCommandInfo[] batchCommands, Int32 commandCount)
at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.UpdatedRowStatus(RowUpdatedEventArgs rowUpdatedEvent, BatchCommandInfo[] batchCommands, Int32 commandCount)
at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Update(DataRow[] dataRows, DataTableMapping tableMapping)
at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.UpdateFromDataTable(DataTable dataTable, DataTableMapping tableMapping)
at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Update(DataTable dataTable)
at DO_Tools.PartsListDataAdapter.Update(PartsListDataTableDataTable value) in C:\Users\Me\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\DO_Tools\DO_Tools\_DataAdapters\PartsListDataAdapter.vb:line 168

I've changed the syntax but the error persisted

Can anyone offer a suggestion why this is not working?

You need to change your syntax for the where clause regarding the like condition. SQL uses % instead of *. I don't know if that is your entire problem, but it might be some of it. It would also be helpful to post your error so we can check it out.

I've found the solution

I had added parameters for all the columns to the update command but I wasn't using all of them during testing, only Specification and Part Code and even these weren't used in the update command during testing.

By changing the update command only adding the parameters that were referenced in the update command then the update action works fine.

Amended Update Command:

VB

Update [My_Sheet$] Set [Specification]=? where ([Part Code] = ?)

Amended Code:

VB

Me.m_oDataAdapter.UpdateCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(sUpdateSQL, Me.m_oConn)

              Me.m_oDataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(&amp;quot;@Specification&amp;quot;, OleDb.OleDbType.Char, 255, &amp;quot;Specification&amp;quot;)

       Me.m_oDataAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(&amp;quot;@OldPartCode&amp;quot;, OleDb.OleDbType.Char, 255, &amp;quot;PartCode&amp;quot;).SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original
