Can Teradata tables be updated in an VB.NET application by reading an Excel spreadsheet and pulling certain values from certain columns? If so how? Thanks
A:
Yes.
This link shows how to read from a server database and update Excel, via ADO.NET and two OleDb connections.
It should be easy to modify that code to do the reverse. ; you'd just need to swap the connection strings shown in that code, so that the source is Excel, and the destination is your Teradata db.
There are some Excel-specific things in the queries, but you get the idea.
NB: This is not Excel Automation. It uses ADO.NET to read/update an Excel sheet. You don't need Excel to be installed on the machine in order to do these queries.
