Crude, but this will work, just loop through a directory (if you are able to execute xp_cmdshell, if not I'm sure there's a powershell script lingering around)DECLARE@Filepath varchar(75),
@file varchar(25),
@Cmd varchar(150)
SET @file = 'test.csv'
SET @filepath = 'C:\'
SET @cmd = 'ren "' + @filepath + @file + '" "' + REPLACE(@file, 'csv', 'xls') + '"'
PRINT @cmd
EXEC xp_cmdshell @cmd, NO_OUTPUT
Why would you want to do this via TSQL?
This will only rename the files and not convert the CSV to XLS binary file.
The question still remains why would you do it in SQL?
I think it would work with SSIS. To read the CSV files in and then spit out as Excel.
There are converters out in the net, just have to search for it.
