sql server - Import Table definition (fields) from excel sheet -


my excel sheets contains table definitions follows:

fieldname         fieldtype id                int name              text 

each sheet represents different table , got 20 tables total of 800 fields.i need creating these tables in database, in quickest way possible. solutions have in mind are:
1- create them 1 one manually
2- copy , past excel sheet field definitions sql management studio , add/adjust necessary syntax each field "create table" query.

i find both of these solutions time-consuming, there way directly import table definition excel sheet?

there few ways build table definitions in excel. either through vb script/macro and/or excel formulas. vb script provide opportunity more robust solution more involved. however, formulas can of job done quickly.

i put example formulas. in question, present field name , field type. helpful add field width , precision variable length string fields , numeric fields. mentioned using sql server. in case, use actual sql server field types in spreadsheet. example, use "varchar" instead of "text". following example:

  |a          |b        |c         |d        |e                          |f -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1|fieldname  |fieldtype|fieldwidth|precision|                           | 2|           |         |          |         |create table table1 (      |typed text 3|id         |int      |          |         |id int ,                   |formula 4|name       |varchar  |30        |         |name varchar( 30 ),        |formula 5|dateofbirth|date     |          |         |dateofbirth date ,         |formula 6|hoursworked|numeric  |5         |2        |hoursworked numeric( 5, 2),|formula 7|           |         |          |         |)                          |typed text 8|           |         |          |         |go                         |typed text  

snapshot of table creation excel worksheet

in example, column e rows 2 through 8 contain resulting sql script. further, column e, row 2 typed straight in text. same case column e row 7 , row 8.

for column e rows 3 through 6 there formula entered.

the formula in column e row 3 follows:

=if(isnumber(d3),trim(concatenate(a3," ",b3,"( ",c3,", ",d3,"),")),if(isnumber(c3),trim(concatenate(a3," ",b3,"( ",c3," ",d3,"),")),trim(concatenate(a3," ",b3," ",c3," ",d3,",")))) 

that formula, once pasted column e row 3 copied down through row 6.

the results in column e rows 2 through 8 can copied , pasted sql server management studio create table1.

note: once script in management studio, remove "," in last field definition. it's there because excel formula not robust enough keep showing up.
