Question

I need to retrieve a row from a different database. How can I retrieve data from difference database and merge into one single data table?

I need to retrieve those rows and export them to Excel

Please help me find a solution.

Here is my code:

  public void Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
  {
        try
        {
            logger.InfoFormat("....blcExportExcel start run....  ");
            SqlCommand com1 = null;
            //SqlCommand comCount = null;
            SqlConnection con1 = null;

            //--for microsoft 2003--
            string strDownloadFileName = "E://lewre/excel/color/delete_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmm") + ".xls";
            string oleDbConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + strDownloadFileName + ";Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes'";
            //**for microsoft 2003**

            //--for microsoft 2007--
            //string strDownloadFileName = "E://lewre/excel/" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss") + ".xlsx";
            //string oleDbConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + strDownloadFileName + ";Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=Yes'";
            //**for microsoft 2007**

            //--Export product for icenter 25/7/2012--
            string query = @"

                   select lewre_article.SKU_CODE,icenter_acStockCompany.AcStockID
                from 
                [LEWREDB].[dbo].[LEWRE.PRODUCT] as lewre_article
                left join  [iCenter].[dbo].[AcStockCompany] as icenter_acStockCompany
                on (lewre_article.SKU_CODE = icenter_acStockCompany.AcStockID )
                where icenter_acStockCompany.AcStockID is  null

            //**Export product for icenter 25/7/2012**

            con1.Open();

            com1 = new SqlCommand(query, con1);
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            SqlDataAdapter ada = new SqlDataAdapter(com1);
            ada.Fill(dt);

            //--If no record then return--
            if (dt.Rows.Count == 0)
            {
                return;
            }
            //**If no record then return**

            using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(oleDbConnection))

                OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(createTable, conn);

                cmd.Parameters.Add("AcStockID", OleDbType.VarChar, 50, "AcStockID");



                // Initialize an OleDBDataAdapter object.

                // Set the InsertCommand of OleDbDataAdapter,

        }

Error that I’m getting:

Cannot open database “iCenter_Testing” requested by the login. The
login failed. Login failed for user ‘user2’.

Answer 1

Check that user2 exists in the iCenter_Testing database and that the user has the correct permissions. If you connect to the database, you can run the following code to see if the user exists:

SELECT name FROM master.dbo.syslogins WHERE name = 'user2'

But, if you are able to log in to the database using the user2, it could be a case of not having the necessary permission to the iCenter_Testing database.

SELECT HAS_DBACCESS('iCenter_Testing');

The above SQL will return a 1 or 0. The 1 means the user has access to the database.

To find out which databases a user has access too, you can run the following code:

SELECT [Name] as DatabaseName 
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
WHERE ISNULL(HAS_DBACCESS([Name]),0)=1
ORDER BY [Name]
