OK, so the need to export Excel Spreadsheet data over to a SQL Server Database Table does not present itself to me everyday. No matter, this is just one more talent that I can not put under my belt thanks to the article below.
Per another question I received, the last thing I wanted to mention on the subject of Excel is that you can use SqlBulkCopy to transfer Excel Spreadsheet data at high speeds to a SQL Server Database Table. I talked about SqlBulkCopy in a previous ADO.NET Tutorial:
* SqlBulkCopy - Copy Table Data Between SQL Servers at High Speeds - ADO.NET 2.0 New Feature
You can view my other posts on Excel for more information about using ADO.NET to read and write to Excel Workbooks and Worksheets:
* Reading Excel Worksheet and Column Schema Information Using ADO.NET 2.0 and GetSchema
* Reading and Writing Excel Spreadsheets / Worksheets Using ADO.NET C# DbProviderFactory….. Source: davidhayden.com

Do you have a tutorial on how to get data from a spread sheet into a sql database on an linux webserver, my knowledge of php and sql is at a real beginner stage, I can create a table via cpanel on the server but then have no idea how to get the data across after this, I just built a form and script and submitted over 200 names this way to get the data inserted.The thought of doing such a mind numbing task again is not a good one.
Cheers

I have a small sports website. I have made a simulation model for 2 teams that generates a final score, box score , and player statistics on an excel spread sheet. I need to get this into another code to upload it to the website. I have some that is helping me, but I have to believe there is an easier way for me to make this project come to life. thanks in advance.
