When I do RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'db.bak' I don't want to specify the path to the .bak file. Is there any way to do this? Something like '%CD%db.bak'?! If I for example want to put MSDE, .bak and a script file (cmd) on a CD-r I want to install (and restore) the database from the current directory.

Hi
I need to do a restore similar to the Restore Database in SQL Enterprise Manager using OSQL. I created an app to do the OSQL Run script command and it works fine. Is this the best way to create a setup to restore the database? Any ideas please!!

Dear Sir/Madam,
Would you please help me to create a batch file to restore a database from a file located on a remote path to my MSDE installed on my workstation.
the original database location was on the D drive on the server
but when i want to restore it to my MSDE it will be in a different path which is C
I want to create a command batch file by just double clicking on it, it will restore the database. (i want a forced restoration).
Please proivde me with your help.

I'm attempting to find a reliable way to determine the file system folder in which the current package is located. (Please note that for this purpose I have no need to support SQL Server deployment, so the fact that there is no current folder in that context is not in scope for this post. )
Anyway, I've added the following code to a Script task in one of my packages:
Code BlockMsgBox(Environment.CurrentDirectory)
When I run the package from DTEXEC I get this the current working folder from which I executed the DTEXEC command line. When I run the package from DTEXECUI I get "C:Projects2005TFSRootSSISCurrentBranchProject", which is the actual folder where the package is located. When I run the package from within Visual Studio (right click, execute package) I get "C:Projects2005TFSRootDocumentationSSIS" which is what is throwing me off. I can't tell where this path is coming from; it is a valid path on my machine, but why it's showing up as the current folder is the mystery. There's no code there and never has been, although I do check in and check out documentation stored in this folder.
I've looked around online but have had no luck in finding any information aboutreliably determining the location of an executing SSIS package. The best I have found is this thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2202954&SiteID=1) which doesn't address the issue I'm seeing.
In short, I'm looking for a consistently reliable mechanism that will allow an SSIS package to be aware of its location at run time, regardless of the mechanism (DTEXEC, DTEXECUI, BIDS, etc.) through which the package is executed. My hopes aren't all that high, but I figured if I was going to get an answer anywhere it would be here.
Has anyone else had success with this?
Thanks in advance!
In my SQL Server, I see the below message in the Application Event Viewer
"18265 :
Log backed up: Database: HSD, creation date(time): 2007/01/06(05:05:05), first LSN: 1439:495055:1, last LSN: 1439:496675:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=DISK: {'D:MSSQLBACKUPHSDHSD_tlog_200707141300.TRN'})."
When I save the application event viewer and open it in another server, I do not see the above message, instead I get the following message:
" Can't find or load message DLL. Message DLL must be in path or in current directory."
Any thoughts to overcome this problem is appreciated.

We are told that we cannot get remote access on our DB servers , can access them only via SQL management studio. But we are the one's who will be restoring all our DB's from current setup to new servers.
My Question:
1. Can we restore the DB's directly via SQL Management studio(from other server where management studio is installed) without logging into the DB server.
2. How do we set the mdf/ldf file paths, assuming we have elevated access on the DB. Is this possible?.
Any other blockers we can face?
Has anyone used this successfully from an OLEDB source component, or even from the Execute SQL Task? I've seen some examples of using a script component, but nothing that uses it through a connection manager.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy customer got a total hard drive failure.After sending it to drive recovery specialist we were able to recover the LDF log file (MyDB_0.LDF).But the MDF file was completely destroyed (MyDB.MDF).They have a good full backup from a month ago.
1) Installed SQL Server 2012 on a new PC
2) Created a new database of same name (MyDB) - with same MDF and LDF file names as original
3) Took the new database offline
4) deleted the MDF and LDF files of the new database

Could not activate or scan all of the log files for database 'MyDB'.
The sad thing is I know we can get this data back using ApexSQL-Log. I can see all the transactions since the last full backup in this program - so the log file is not damaged. But my client doesn't want to pay the $2000 fee for this software.There has to be a way to restore this data, without having to purchase a third party tool.
I've this query

So, i will get
ID | Date (this is datetime) | Time (this is integer) | Value

t1.Date<CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101) AND TIME<=CurrentTime

Hi, we are having problems getting osql to work. When we try and open it quickly opens and then closes again. Has anybody else had this problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all.
My first post here.
I want to distriburte a msde database. When doing so, I also want to make a new login, make a user, make the user the dbowner of the database i installed.
I found the Stored procedures I need to use, and I have tested that it works using OSQL.
What I want to do now is to make this automatic. After installing the database the OSQL commands should be executed and no user interference should be necessary. How can that be done ?

Hello,
I have several sql scripts to be executed on a set schedule, with the output directed to a text file. If the schedule triggers this process daily, is it possible to append each days output to the same output file? I've researched the osql switches and various online sources...nothing really covers this.
This is done (relatively) easily with .vbs, but so far it looks tougher with TSQL.
Many thanks to all who respond!
is there some way to activate osql from a c++ app and stream theoutput to my program?

Hi,
I'm making some sort of application where people can add their resume.
They also need something to add places where they have worked or currently are working.
I have a form where they can add this and i add this experience using the following stored procedure:
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
create procedure [dbo].[sp_Insert_Experience]
@ExperienceId uniqueidentifier,
@ExperienceEmployee nvarchar(100),
@ExperienceFrom datetime,
@ExperienceUntil datetime,
@ExperienceQualifications nvarchar(250),
@ExperienceTechnologies nvarchar(250),
@ExperienceTasks nvarchar(250)
as
insert into Experiences
values(@ExperienceId,@ExperienceEmployee,@ExperienceFrom,@ExperienceUntil,@ExperienceQualifications,
@ExperienceTechnologies,@ExperienceTasks);
It must be possible to add the place where they currently are working. Then the ExperienceUntil has to be something like still going on. Then I decided that the user then had to set the current date.
But what I want is the following, I want that the ExperienceUntil keeps updating automatically, like everytime i get that record, it has to have current date.
Is this possible ?
But if the ExperienceUntil isn't the current date , it just had to take the supplied parameter date.

the help document said that
"osql -b will specifies that OSQL exits and returns a DOS ERRORLEVEL value when an error occurs. The value returned to the DOS ERRORLEVEL variable is 1 when the SQL Server error message has a severity of 10 or greater; otherwise, the value returned is 0."
my question is : how can I get the DOS ERRORLEVEL.
example:
C:>isql -E -b -Q"backup log pubs to disk='C:adsfasd.tmp'"
the result:
Msg 4208, Level 16, State 0, Server YANG, Line 1
当恢复模型为 SIMPLE 时，不允许使用 BACKUP LOG 语句。请使用 BACKUP DATABASE 或用
ALTER DATABASE
更改恢复模型。
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server YANG, Line 1
BACKUP LOG 操作异常终止。
It's in chinese language,means
"can not use BACKUP LOG when the restore model being SIMPLE,you can use ALTER DATABASE or BACKUP DATABASE to change the restore model.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server YANG, Line 1
BACKUP LOG aborted"
where is DOS ERRORLEVEL???? How can I get it????

Hello All,
A VERY green SQL Server DBA here looking for some help. Our main production environment is Oracle, which utilizes Control-M as a scheduler. At the end of the Oracle batch process, we would like to automate a process to kick off a sql server job (perhaps via osql??) Is this possible?

Any suggestion?
PLease.....
osql.exe -S MyServer -U username-P pwd-d TestDB -n -o "C:Devosql_test.log" -i "C:DevAccentTest.sql" :
Question for the experts here:
Is there any advantage of running an SQL statement through osql with the database information over using dynamic sql?
Example:
DECLARE @DB Varchar(50)
DECLARE @SQL Varchar(4000)
SET @DB = '<nvr_changing_server>.<my_dynamic_db_name>'
SET @SQL = 'SELECT admissiontype_id AS atype, admissiontype AS atype_desc, start_date, end_date
INTO tlkAdmitType
FROM <nvr_changing_server>.<nvr_changing_DB>.dbo.tlkAdmissionTypes'
exec master..xp_cmdShell 'osql -U sa -P sapwd -S nvr_changing_server -d my_dynamic_db_name -Q @SQL....'
vs. something like:
DECLARE @DB Varchar(50)
DECLARE @SQL Varchar(4000)
SET @DB = '<nvr_changing_server>.<my_dynamic_db_name>'
SET @SQL = 'SELECT admissiontype_id AS atype, admissiontype AS atype_desc, start_date, end_date
INTO ' + @DB +'.dbo.tlkAdmitType
FROM <nvr_changing_server>.<nvr_changing_DB>.dbo.tlkAdmissionTypes'
EXEC(@SQL)
The purpose of all this is...I need to pass a parameter for the DB that I will be inserting into...here we create a new db with a specific name based on quarterly data. We collect, crunch, validate data and ship it. Then when it's old we archive it then eventually delete it.
I have written a script that makes this quarterly build less painful. In fact I won't have to do it! :)...our Sr. Data Analysts will do it now. In order for this beautiful thing (*in my mind anyway*) to work they need to set parameters for which data to pull and where to put it. The DB is scripted into existance and the data is moved into it. So therefore they need to enter the Qtr,Yr and dbname. I have done DSQL before on smaller scripts and I am just curious if the expert pool here can shed some light on this approach. The script will most likely be run in a DTS SQL Task.
Thanks in advance...R
Hi,
When i want to run the OSQL utility, it will open the command prompt, but only for about a second, then, gone...
I'm running an XP pro machine with MSDE 2000 installed locally... any ieads??

I created a sql script that transfers data from my test system to production adn vice versa. I would like to use OSQL and be able to pass parameters to the SQL script.
Example: param 1 = test; param 2 = production.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible and how to do it?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Locally executing osql to create db files on a remote Webserver, I get this error:
41> 42> 43> 44> 45> Meldung 916, Ebene 14, Status 1, Server USER-EQ9OV60EMF, Zeile 12
Server user 'Robse_Testlogin' is not a valid user in database 'msdb'.
(The above is german and translates into "Message 916, Level 14,..., Row 12")
This is the command with parameters:
osql -S servername -U Robse_Testlogin -P password -i c:Storestoredb.sql"
Up to that line, everything works fine...what could be wrong?
At first I'd like to justify myself - I'm rather a greenhorn in MS SQL ;-)
What I'd like to do is to create a very simple spool file from my database.
I'd like to do this using OSQL tool and it's very important for me to have the spool file in the same format as it was earlier when I used Oracle and simple spool command.
And it's almost the same, but white spaces...
There's always one white space at the begining of each line and at least one at the and of each line.
I've been trying many OSQL switches and ltrim(..) / rtrim(..) functions but the problem still exists...
The spool file is rather big - around 300MB so it's not good idea to use SED (for example) to remove white spaces.
So my question:
IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE WHITE SPACES COMPLETELY USING OSQL SPOOL?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Is osql/isql supported in SQL 2005? How about in 2008? Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,I have several big tables with rows more than 25 mil rowsand to update/delete/insert data in these tables,it can take minutes.I use BULK Insert/DELETE/Update with osql.While I run one of these updates,if I try to select, it seems like both read and write get locked.Shouldn't SQL resolve this kind of locking?I left these to see if it gets resolved but both never returned.So I need to kill these processes.Does anyone have any scripts to find how long queries are running?Also I need to make osql timeout and tried -t but it didn't work.I used -t 1200 with DELETE in osql but it was running for more than 40minutes. So I killed it and ran DBCC DBREINDEX on the table and re-ranit and it worked.Shouldn't the query get killed after 10 minutes?What is exactly -t option for ?thanks,
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some long running scripts which I fire at my database using osql.(These are big files and mostly doing inserts but some also do a few otherthings.) It would be nice to have some activity indication (other than thedisk activity light) that these are running. When I used to use Oracle,their equivalent to osql had an option to print a dot (without a carriagereturn) for every "n" statements. This gave a nice "I'm alive" indicator. Ican simulate this by adding a few "print" statements in my sql, but printalways adds a carriage return. Does anyone know a way of doing a print butwithout the addition of a CR (or CR/LF)? So that a second "print" sends itsoutput to the same line as the first?I know this is a nicety and I can live without it, but it would be nice.thanks in advance,Brianwww.cryer.co.uk/brian
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a question. I am doing some work for someone and I have a batchfile that they can run that will execute an OSQL line and a DTSRUNline. In both lines I run them using the /S /U /P switches and ofcourse the /N or /i switch to tell it what to run. I have also triedreplacing the /U /P switches with the /E switch.My problem is that as long as I specify the users password on the OSQLline (either with /U & /P or with /E & /P) it will run. If I try andjust use the /E it will say password failed for DOMAIN/USER . Ok, Idon't really care I can specify the password and the script will run.However no matter what I do the DTSRUN line will not run, it gives methis same password error.I can run this line just fine on my PC on my network and my domainusing just the /S /E switches.Any ideas as to why it will work for OSQL but not DTSRUN?Thanks in advance.

I start CuteFTP or NetObjects Fusion 8 and I get an installer window popping up saying:
"Please wait while Microsoft configures Microsoft SQL desktop engine"
ZoneAlarm warns me that OSQL.exe is trying to connect to my network.
I let it.
Then ZA warns me that OSQL is trying to connect to the internet.
At this point, if I let it, or deny it, the thing installer (which looks to be half way done) reloads itself and starts over with ZA warning that it's trying to connect locally, then to the internet. Over and over this happens.
It wont let either of my program start until it goes through about 5 or 6 cycles of whatever it's trying to do.
Then it just disappears and my program will load.
If I close either CuteFTP of NetObjects and start them back up, the whole OSQL.exe thing starts again.
I have rebooted and it still does this.
The odd thing is some of the IP addresses it's trying to connect to.
72.14.207.104 - Google
96.6.129.187 - Akamai
207.46.248.249 - Microsoft (ok, that's understandable)
