How do I fix my problem with executing code with OPENROWSET?

0

I want to open an Excel dataset with openrowset function, but an error keeps on showing up:

begin

    declare @pathname NVARCHAR(max) 



    set @pathname = N'\{DATAPATH}

    select @pathname



    begin 

        exec (' drop_table mytable

                select *

                into mytable

                from OPENROWSET(''Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0'',''Excel 12.0; IMEX=1; HDR=YES; Database =' + @pathname + ';'',

                                ''SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'');



                select * 

                from mytable')

end

Which results in:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 17

Incorrect syntax near 'end'.

  why is select @pathname in part of your set statement? To answer your question, you have two BEGIN statements and one END. Each BEGIN must have an END. I'm not sure what you are doing with @pathname though. and that drop table statement.

You have a couple different syntax issues to address.

The first is it looks like you forgot a quote at the end of your set statement, which then breaks the quoting of the rest of your script.

The second, as others have mentioned, is you have two begins, but only one end.

Try this:

begin

    declare @pathname NVARCHAR(max) 



    set @pathname = N'\{DATAPATH}'

    select @pathname



    begin 

        exec (' drop_table mytable

                select *

                into mytable

                from OPENROWSET(''Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0'',''Excel 12.0; IMEX=1; HDR=YES; Database =' + @pathname + ';'',

                                ''SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'');



                select * 

                from mytable')

    end

end
