Answer 1

I've cracked it :).... For our SQL Server and google spreadsheets at least!

Thanks for all the help. I've been reading some of the issues here and now I'd like to share what you've helped me build. I've build a function that can take an SQL query and output the results to the spreadsheet its in.

To get the data on the spreadsheet you'll need to open a google spreadsheet and go 'Tool' > '<> script editor'. Then past the code bellow stating with and including "/****.....". Next you will have to update these bits in the code

var address = 'yourServerUrl:yourPortNumber';
var user = 'yourUserName';
var userPwd = 'yourPassword';
var db = 'yourDatabaseName';

Then you need to save it and return to the spread sheet and enter

=SQLTOGOOGLOOGLESPREADSHEET("yourSqlQuery")

Into the spreadsheet cell

/***********************

@CUSTOMFUNCTION

*/

function SQLTOGOOGLOOGLESPREADSHEET(sqlQuery) {
    var address = 'yourServerUrl:yourPortNumber';
    var user = 'yourUserName';
    var userPwd = 'yourPassword';
    var db = 'yourDatabaseName';
    var msSqlUrlSyntax ='jdbc:sqlserver://'

    var dbUrl = msSqlUrlSyntax + address + ';databaseName=' + db;

    // msSqlUrlSyntax = 'youOptionalTestingQuery'
    var conn = Jdbc.getConnection(dbUrl, user, userPwd);

    var start = new Date();
    var stmt = conn.createStatement();
    stmt.setMaxRows(1000);

    var results = stmt.executeQuery(sqlQuery);
    var numCols = results.getMetaData().getColumnCount();
    var numRows = results.getFetchSize()
    Logger.log(numRows)
    var dataArray = [];

    while (results.next()) {
        var rowString = [];   
        rowString = [];

        for (var col = 0; col < numCols; col++)     
        {
            rowString.push(results.getString(col + 1))
        }

        dataArray[dataArray.length]=rowString;
    }

    Logger.log("dataArray =" + dataArray)
    return dataArray

    results.close();
    stmt.close();

    var end = new Date();
    Logger.log('Time elapsed: %sms', end - start);
}
