In SQL Server using xp_cmdshell we can excute any of the command or executable files which can be executed in command prompt. Here my problem is that .. I am trying to execute OSQL from the MSSQL(Query Analyser) using xp_cmdshell.. but its give error saying "'osql' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." This error occours when it is not able to find the executable file... but same thing I am able to execute from the command prompt. So I feel this problem is some where related to the path setting of windows. If some one can solve this problem or sugesst the how to set the path for window it will be help full.. waiting for reply
I am in the process of writing a stored procedure that takes data from a table, within a cursor, and puts that data to the network server via the xp_cmdshell procedure. The xp_cmdshell command is at the end of the cursor in the SP.
I have worked with the admins on getting the proper permissions to execute this procedure and have tested it by running the procedure directly in Query Analyzer and by calling it in Query Analyzer successfully.
However when I try to call this procedure from another programming envirnoment, once the xp_cmdshell process is called, the procedure locks up and blocks the rest of the process, including the other software programming environment. When I look at the error log, it indicates that correct command, as a matter of fact I have copied the log file command into Query Analyzer and ran the procedure successfully. So for some reason, the statement is not being committed or there is some kind of threading issue I do not know how to address.
If anyone out there has any suggestions or has a simular problem in the past and knows how to address it, it would be greatly appreciated.

We connect to the remote database servers through the network from loca by using Query Analyzer. Previously we were able to execute the xp_cmdshell command from local Query Analyzer to fetch the remote databases data. But now we are unable to execute the xp_cmdshell command on remote databases from local Query Analyzer We do not know what happened but i think due to network updates this command is not able to execute...
For ex: Previously i was able to execute master..xp_cmdshell 'net start' from local Query Analyzer.But now not able to execute
Now my question is, is there any other way(Directly or indirectly) to execute the xp_cmdshell command on remote databases from local?
Note : we are able to execute this command on remote Query Analyzer but not from local QA

SQL Server 2012 Replication. The command prompt instance of the replication is being run as the same user as the SSMS "version" using the runas option. With SSMS the error is that the client is missing a privilege. There is no error when it runs from the command prompt. All runs well.
We have reinstalled the replication feature.We have gone through several MSDN articles that indicate exactly what privileges (both within the DB and in Windows) that service account should have. None have worked Incidentally, when I create a new publication and indicate that the SQL Server Agent be used , the publication runs.

I'm having a strange problem with this but I know (and admit) that the problem is on my PC and nowhere else. My firewall was causing a problem because I was unable to PING the database server, switching this off gets a successful PING immediately. The most useful utility to date is running netstat -an in the command window. This illustrates all the connections that are live and ports that are being listed to. I can establish a connection both by running

Both these utilities show as establishing a connection in netstat so I am able to connect the database server every time, this worked throughout yesterday and has continued this morning.
The problem is when I attempt to use SQL Server Management Studio. When I attempt to connect to tcp:sql5.hostinguk.net, 1433 nothing shows in netstat at all. There is an option to encrypt the connection in the connection properties tab in management studio, when I enable this I do get an entry in netstat -an, see below:
Amost as if it's trying the different ports but you get this time_wait thing. The error message is more meaningful and hopefull because I get:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I would expect this as the DNS has not been advised to encrypt the conection.
This is much better than the : Login failed for user 'COX10289'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) that I get, irrespective of whether I enter a password or not.
This is on a XP machine trying to connect to the remote webhosting company via the internet.
I can ping the server
I have enabled shared memory and tcp/ip in protocols, named pipes and via are disabled
I do not have any aliases set up
No I do not force encryption
I wonder if you have any further suggestions to this problem?

Hi. I am writing a program in C# to migrate data from a Foxpro database to an SQL Server 2005 Express database. The package is being created programmatically. I am creating a separate data flow for each Foxpro table. It seems to be doing it ok but I am getting the following error message at the package validation stage:
Description: An OLE DB Error has occured. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E0C Description: "Command text was not set for the command object".
.........
Description: "component "OLE DB Destination" (22)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
This is the first time I am writing such code and I there must be something I am not doing correct but can't seem to figure it out. Any help will be highly appreciated. My code is as below:

{
// Create the package object
oPackage = new Package();
// Create connections for the Foxpro and SQL Server data
MessageBox.Show("The DTS package was not built successfully because of the following error(s):" + sErrorMessage, "Package Builder", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

hi everybody My requirement is, I have to transfer database backup files from one server to another server to take tape backup. Generally in my backup folder there will be 4days backups. I want to schedule a job so that after database backed up, today’s backup file only copied to the other server. I wrote following code, upto xp_cmdshell every thing is working fine.

I am trying to run a Visual Basic Script using the xp_cmdshell stored procedure. When I try to run the file, the MS Script Debugger application is started.

SQL 7.0 I have given a non sa user permissions to run xp_cmdshell via his NT logon. When he runs it and does a "dir" of the server it works. When he trys to do a "dir" of his own machine it comes up with "Logon failure unknown user name or bad password". SQL Agent is running under a domain admin account. I have placed SQLAgentCmdExec in the servers local administrators group. I have de-selected the option from SQLAgent propertiesJob System which restricts non sa users executing CmdExec stuff. I did attempt to Reset Proxy Account and Reset Proxy Password. When I clicked on these it just gave me message that the account and password had successfully been reset without asking me for username, password or domain.
Hello, friends, This is probably not a question for DBA forum, but may be someone knows the answer. In the stored procedure I'm using xp_cmdshell command to copy file from one dir to another. How I can receive any indication what the process succeded? xp_cmdshell return 1 or 0 if the stored procedure was invoked, I would like to receive an indication that the file was copied.
