Automating Query

May 16, 2007

I am looking for the best method of automating an INSERT query in SQL Server 2005

Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'INSERT INTO SaltInvWhOpen (StockCode, Warehouse, TrnMonth, TrnYear, OpenBalQty, OpenBalCost)SELECT StockCode, Warehouse, Month(GETDATE()) AS TrnMonth, YEAR(GETDATE()) AS TrnYear, OpenBalQty12, OpenBalQty12 * UnitCost AS Expr1FROM InvWarehouse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In older versions I would have used a DTS package (It's been a long time and I'd have had to use a book to guide me through it), but as that is gone now, I am unsure where to even begin looking.

If someone could assist by giving me the current method, and dare I ask, walk me through it, the help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Automating A Query And The Saving Saving Of Subsequent Results

Dec 13, 2007

Hi Guys,

I am trying to automate a basic task using SQL Server 2005 Express.

Currently I have a query script that I run and then save the results as a CSV file. I need to do this on a daily basis and so I am looking to find out how best to go about this. There are a multitude of third party tools that claim to be able to do this - can anyone recommend this or enlighten me of the best way to set up this automation.

All ideas gratefully received!

Automating Using DTS

Mar 14, 2006

I am trying to create a process to automate the FTP process and then IMPORT to a table. Once Import is complete, I would like to move the file from the FTP server and rename it. I tested the "commands" via CMD and it works. I then created a store procedure with the DOS commands to rename/move the source file. The command executes and deletes the file from the source, however, the copied files to a different destination disappeared. I did a search in my local hard drive(testing using my local folders), but can't find where the copied/renamed file went.

HEre is the portion of the commands:

SET @cmd ='Copy "C:Documents and SettingsegllareMy DocumentsBoxtestData.txt" "C:Documents and SettingsegllareMy DocumentsArchiveCopybox.%random%.bak"'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
GO

Can you please tell me what's wrong with this,

or direct me to a sample store procedure I can model..

TIA

Apologise for not putting this in the correct forum.

Automating Certain Set Up Tasks?

Apr 29, 2015

After SQL Server Express 2012 is installed, is there a way to automate setting up a few options? I need to enable the option for both windows and sql server authentication. Can this be done with Powershell or other tool? This is a situation where the user has absolutely no computer skills and there is no one available in their office that can set the options manually. I thought some sort of script would be useful for this.

Automating Access To SQL Server

Oct 14, 2005

We're trying to put a view of data maintained in desktop Access databases online and into SQL Server.The desktop Access system uses separate databases instead of tables within one database,  It's a strange design, but it can't be changed.We have been importing all of the separate databases into a single, new Access database, then upsizing the new databse to SQL Server, then uploading it.This is not going to work long term, because we are stuck with a 250 mB Access database to upsize and upload, when we never need to update more than 2 or 3 of the tables and upload more than 2 mB.We'd like to be able to upload only the tables -- preferably the Access *.mdb's -- that have changed, and then replace the SQL Server tables with the new information.  And we'd like to automate it as much as possible, without upsizing Wizardy.I don't know where to even begin looking for information about how this might be done.Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.- Tinker

Automating Transaction Log Dumps

May 5, 1999

I am testing a procedure to automate the transaction log dump. I am following the steps located in Chapter 22 of the Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Companion ("Automatic Transaction Log Dumps Using Performance Monitor"). The alert in Performance Monitor appears to be starting when the log is 75% full, but the alert is not firing off the file that contains the dump transaction sql command. For the 'Run Program on Alert' box this is what I have: isql -Ssvrname -Usa -P -id:appsmssqlinndump.sql
The dump.sql file contains: 'dump transaction pubs with no_log'

I have also tried the following 4 steps: 1) Created a SQL Alert Messsage, 2) Created an NT Performance Monitor Threshold Alert to run sqlalrtr to issue a certain error when the pubs log is 75% full, 3) Created a TSQL Task, and 4) Created a SQL Server Alert to run the Task created in step 3. This appears to do the same thing. The Alert is fired off, but the Task is never executed. Note: I am able to execute the task from within the Schedule Tasks Window.

I am using Standard Security with SQL Server 6.5 (sp5a) running on NT4.
Thanks for you help in advance.

How Hard Would This Be - Automating With Vbscript ?

Oct 5, 2007

How can I do this with vbscript, or C# ?
- Copy backup files down from a network share, into the data directory of my local sql 2005 instance
- perform a restore using the files copied from above
- Execute a dts package


More info:
Our databases are scripted and exist on the typical development, and testing enviroments. So as I get ready to start a new application, I want my local sql instance to be updated based on structure changes as well as data. So I have to apply the changes from the scripted sources and pull over the data. I would naturally like to automate this.

ideas / suggestions welcome

Automating Stored Procedure Execution

Jun 6, 2000

1) Is it possible to run stored procedures at specified intervals without
using the job system (through T-SQL)? I want the schedule to be
independent of the MSDB database in case of temporary failures, etc.

2) Would extended stored procedures be helpful in this scenario?



Thanks

Automating Populating Tables At A Certain Time.

Apr 21, 2000

Hi,

I am new to SQL Server7. I need to populate some tables from an SQL Server7
database at the end of the day. How can I automate this process?
I also need to export these populated tables to a text file on daily basis.
I know I can use "DTS" to do this. But is there any way to make these
automated also? Or is there any third party tool to do all these?

Thanks in advance.

Automating Single User Mode

Mar 29, 1999

In order to automate regular maintenance on SQL Server (6.5 SP3) I'm trying
to automate the process of putting the database into single user mode without
having to stop/start the process.

The sp_dboption won't allow single user mode while users are still connected
to the database, so I was trying the following script:

DECLARE @to_kill int

/* Declare Cursor */
DECLARE spid_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT spid FROM sysprocesses WHERE dbid = 6

/* Open Cursor */
OPEN spid_cursor

/* Loop Through All Table Names */
FETCH NEXT FROM spid_cursor INTO @to_kill
WHILE (@@fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
IF (@@fetch_status <> -2)
BEGIN
KILL @to_kill
END
FETCH NEXT FROM spid_cursor INTO @to_kill
END

This, however gives a sytax error for the KILL command (it seems that KILL
will not allow a parameter to be passed). I've tried making the @to_kill
variable smallint, int, and varchar without any success.

Is there any automated way way to kill user connections without cycling
the server?

Thanks
Gord T.

Automating Incrementation In Primary Key ID Field

Sep 18, 2004

I'm really puzzled with this. I am new to using MS SQL and need help with the primary key. When I was using Access, I would open the database table and just enter values for the various columns, each time a new column was begun, the computer would insert a unique number there. OK, so now I am using visual studio to work on a SQL database. I created a new table and the first field I specified was "ID", I then chose it as the primary key. For default value, I tried both auto number and auto increment. These don't seem to work, as when I type values into fields and try to move to the next row, having left the ID field blank, I get an error which reads "String or Binary data may be truncated". What is going on, what do I need to do so the field automatically populates with an ID number... Some research sort of led me to the concept of a "trigger" to do this. Is this the approach. I was able to r-click on the table and I saw an option for "create trigger" or "new trigger"... How do I learn to do this, is there a generic trigger to do an auto increment of a primary key ID field?

Automating A Backup And Restore Across Servers

Jan 10, 2005

Hi,

I have been experiencing a problem with a job I am trying to automate. My team requires two instances of a db on development. Every week, db1 is detached and reattached as db1_copy, and a new copy of db1 from production is copied over. I have used cursors for the dropusers, addlogins, grantdbaccess, addroles, and addrolemembers aspects of the restore process. Also, we use sql authentication and not windows authentication. The issue is that when the agent encounters a minor issue, ie. a login that already exists in that db, or adding a rolemember to a role that is already there, I get an error. I have ensure that at that step, the job simply proceeds because it is a minor step in the process (it happens during the script execution when done manually but I can override this because I am present and just let it run in one step instead of many). Is there any way to do this without adding a multitude of steps?

Thanks,

Maria

Automating Data Extension Deployment

Jan 6, 2006

Hi,

I have written a Data Processing extension for my application and can deploy it on my development machine no problems. My question is: what is the "correct" way of deploying an extension to an end user's machine? Do I have to write a special program to find and modify the Reporting Server config files and copy the extension over. Surely many developers have the same need so there must be a generic solution to this problem, however, I haven't managed to find one.

I first came across this issue in SQL2000 and I thought/hoped it would be rectified with SQL2005 but it appears not to be (unless I'm missing something).

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

NEWBIE Needs Help Automating Data From Another Server

Sep 7, 2007

Hi,

I am able to do these actions interactively from SQL 2005 (not developers nor enterprise edition, just using SQL 2005 Mgmt Studio) and want to "script/batch" them so I can have them automatically run at a pre selected time.

First: I am able to delete the table by performing a right click on the table, then click Delete from Mgmt Studio SQL 2005. I verify the table is completely gone with a refresh. (I pulled the code that did this ..... DROP TABLE etc. to Notepad)

2nd: I am able to import the table (again from Mgmt Studio SQL 2005) and have saved this action as a SSIS. Execute the script and "waLa" I have all 17K rows of data. I pulled this create table code into notepad also.

Now I put the code of both of the above actions together (drop table and create table) into one SQL query and execute it. This does not give me the same results of above, instead my table is blank now.

Maybe there is a better way. The business problem I am attempting to solve: I am refreshing the data in a as/400 table weekly. I want that refreshed data to be available in the SQL2005 database without my having to press buttons first thing Monday morning. Can any one help? Thanks in advance.
