CDatabase MFC ODBC class can be used to create an excel database. I have used SQL queries to create a database table and INSERT..INTO query to add data to the table. My database name is "c:\\temp\\ExclDB1.xls". I have create a table in this database called 'MyTableA' with three fields Name, Address and SSN in it. You can modify this code according to your needs.
CDatabase m_db;;
// This is your excel sheet name. I will use it as my excel database in my next article.
CString szExcelDBName = "c:\\temp\\ExclDB1.xls";
CString sSql;
try
{
// Build the creation string for access without DSN
sSql.Format("DRIVER={MICROSOFT EXCEL DRIVER (*.XLS)};DSN='';READONLY=FALSE;CREATE_DB=\"%s\";DBQ=%s", szExcelDBName, szExcelDBName);
// Create the database (i.e. Excel sheet)
if( m_db.OpenEx(sSql, CDatabase::noOdbcDialog) )
{
// Create table structure
sSql = "CREATE TABLE myTableA (Name VARCHAR(50), Address VARCHAR(255), SSN LONG )";
m_db.ExecuteSQL(sSql);
// Add data to the table
m_db.ExecuteSQL("INSERT INTO myTableA (Name, Address, SSN ) VALUES ('Mahesh', 'Programming Village, Philadelphia', 23123243 )" );
m_db.ExecuteSQL("INSERT INTO myTableA (Name, Address, SSN ) VALUES ('Joe', 'Pittsburgh', 34534 )");
m_db.ExecuteSQL("INSERT INTO myTableA (Name, Address, SSN ) VALUES ('Amanda', 'Downingtown', 3874534 )");
}
// Close the database
if ( m_db.IsOpen() )
m_db.Close();
}
catch( CException* e )
{
e->ReportError();
}
