Get the Report →Export Data from SQL Server to Google Sheets through SSIS
Easily push SQL Server data to Google Sheets using the CData SSIS Tasks for Google Sheets.
SQL Server databases are commonly used to store enterprise records. It is often necessary to move this data to other locations. The CData SSIS Task for Google Sheets allows you to easily transfer Google Sheets data. In this article you will export data from SQL Server to Google Sheets.
Add Source and Destination Components
To get started, add a new ADO.NET Source control and a new Google Sheets Destination control to the data flow task.
Configure the ADO.NET Source
Follow the steps below to specify properties required to connect to the SQL Server instance.
- Open the ADO.NET Source and add a new connection. Enter your server and database information here.
- In the Data access mode menu, select "Table or view" and select the table or view to export into Google Sheets.
- Close the ADO NET Source wizard and connect it to the destination component.
Create a New Connection Manager for Google Sheets
Follow the steps below to set required connection properties in the Connection Manager.
- Create a new connection manager: In the Connection Manager window, right-click and then click New Connection. The Add SSIS Connection Manager dialog is displayed.
- Select CData GoogleSheets Connection Manager in the menu.
-
Configure the connection properties.
You can connect to a spreadsheet by providing authentication to Google and then setting the Spreadsheet connection property to the name or feed link of the spreadsheet. If you want to view a list of information about the spreadsheets in your Google Drive, execute a query to the Spreadsheets view after you authenticate.
ClientLogin (username/password authentication) has been officially deprecated since April 20, 2012 and is now no longer available. Instead, use the OAuth 2.0 authentication standard. To access Google APIs on behalf on individual users, you can use the embedded credentials or you can register your own OAuth app.
OAuth also enables you to use a service account to connect on behalf of users in a Google Apps domain. To authenticate with a service account, you will need to register an application to obtain the OAuth JWT values.
See the Getting Started chapter in the help documentation to connect to Google Sheets from different types of accounts: Google accounts, Google Apps accounts, and accounts using two-step verification.
Configure the Google Sheets Destination
In the destination component Connection Manager, define mappings from the SQL Server source table into the Google Sheets destination table and the action you want to perform on the Google Sheets data. In this article, you will insert Orders entities to Google Sheets.
- Double-click the Google Sheets destination to open the destination component editor.
- In the Connection Managers tab, select the connection manager previously created.
- In the Use a Table, menu, select Orders. In the Action menu, select Insert.
- On the Column Mappings tab, configure the mappings from the input columns to the destination columns.
Run the Project
You can now run the project. After the SSIS Task has finished executing, data from your SQL table will be exported to the chosen table.
