OSQL Batch File Problem
Aug 22, 2006I have a scheduled task that runs a batch file in windows 2003 server which
is running SQL Server 2000 Enterprise.
The batch file contains the line:
OSQL -i myscript.sql -Umyuser -Pmypassword -Slocalhost -o mytrans.log
the 'myscript.sql' file updates a table with another table of the exact
number of rows.
When the scheduled task runs, the 'mytrans.log' file shows 0 rows were
affected.
If I run this myself from the command line, 22,000 rows are affected which
is correct.
I am guessing there is some sort of permission/authentication issue here. I
am sending the right username/password for SQL and for windows to run the
task.
Any idea what I could do to fix this?
Thanks,

Executing Osql Commands Through Batch File
Sep 13, 2006Hello
I have a script ,which runs with osql
The script is :
osql -E
declare @cmd nvarchar(1000)
declare @cmd2 nvarchar(1000)
declare @state1 varchar(100)
declare @message varchar(100)
set @message = ''
-- Build command to determine state of SQLSERVERAGENT service on Master Server
SET @CMD = 'create table #state (state varchar(2000))' + char(10) +
'declare @cmdx varchar(1000)' + char(10) +
'insert into #state EXEC master..xp_servicecontrol ''''QueryState'''', ''''SQLSERVERAGENT''''' +
+ char(10) + 'select @state=state from #state' + char(10) +
'drop table #state'
-- Build command to execute command that determines state of service being monitored
set @cmd2 = 'declare @state varchar(100)' + char(10) +
'exec ' + rtrim(@@servername) + '.master.dbo.sp_executesql N''' + @CMD + ''',' +
'N''@state varchar(100) out'',' +
'@state out' + char(10) +
'set @state1 = @state'
-- Execute command and return state of service being monitored
exec master.dbo.sp_executesql @cmd2,N'@state1 varchar(100) out',@state1 out
-- Is the service that was monitored not
IF (UPPER(@state1) <> 'RUNNING.')
--if @state1 <1 'Running.'
begin
-- Display message that primary monitor is down
select @message = @message+char(13)+ @@servername + ' -' + 'Sql Server Agent Not Running'+char(13)
print 'Master server "' + rtrim(@@servername) + '" for monitoring is not available.'
exec master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
It works fine when I run it on the command line prompt.
And I receive a mail , if the server agent is running.
But when I save it as bat file and try to run , it stops and doesnot even give an error.
Can anyone let me know what I can do.
Thanks

Running A SQL File From OSQL Command Line Utility
Jul 20, 2005Hi,I have dumped a very large database from mysql (using mysqldump program)as a raw sql file. The reason was, convert this database to a MSSQLdatabase. Since mysqldump creates the file as raw sql file with thedatabase-table structures and the data in it, I thought using OSQL commandline utilities should work to out this whole database in MSSQL server.I have run this command from command line:osql -u sa -i mysqldump.sqlIt is going since yesterday. It has been almost 36 hours that it'sstarted. And in the mssql server, I see no database created yet. On thescreen of the command line, I see bunch of numbers are going in order. Iassume they are row numbers of the tables processed. But, if it is doing it,then where is it saving all this data ? I have checked the tempdb, pub db,other dbs, and I see no tables related to the database I am inserting. Willit populate it at the and of the job ? Or, am I doing something wrong here?Regards.Murtix.

View 3 Replies View RelatedPower Pivot :: Determine Opening And Closing Balance
Jun 3, 2015I am preparing a monthly cash flow statement and for doing so, I need to determine the monthly opening and closing cash balance. To simplify, this is what I did.
1. Dragged months to the columns labels
2. Created a slicer for selecting the Financial Year. In this slicer, I chose 2015-16 i.e. April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016.
Since I have data only for two months of this Financial Year i.e. April and May, only these two months show up in the column labels.
To determine the monthly opening cash balance, I added the following measure
=CLOSINGBALANCEMONTH(SUM(bank_book[Balance]),PREVIOUSMONTH(calendar[Date]))
To determine the monthly closing cash balance, I added the following measure
=CLOSINGBALANCEMONTH(SUM(bank_book[Balance]),calendar[Date])
Much to my surprise, I got the result as seen in the image below. Cells B5, C6 and D5 are blank. On going through my Bank Book, I realised that
1. There is no figure in cell B5 (Opening balance of April) because there was no transaction on the last day of March i.e. March 31. The last transaction was on March 28
2. There is no figure in cell C6 (Closing balance of May) because there was no transaction on the last day of May i.e. May 31. The last transaction was on May 30
3. There is no figure in cell D5 (Opening balance of June) - same reason as mentioned in point 2 above.
As seen in the image, I have also computed the monthly "Last date of previous month" and "last date of current month" but do not know how to make use of them in computing the opening and closing Cash balances.
Please also note that there can be multiple transactions on the last day of any month. For e.g., let's say the last day of transaction in May 2015 was May 30 (not may 31) but there were multiple transactions on this last day (both inflow and outflow).
So I cannot simply determine the last day of transaction and take MAX/MIN/SUM that day. I have to take the final balance on that day.
How to solve this problem i.e. in determining the opening and closing cash balances.

Closing All Connections
Nov 15, 2004How do I set up a job so that I close all open database connections? I think we have a leak in our code which causes our DB to go down (max connections used) roughly once every month, so we just restart the SQL server. Until we can find the exact problem I'd like to do this.
For simplicities sake let's say my database name is just "test."
Thank you.

Mar 7, 2008
Hello:
I have the following script wrtten in VB that opens a connection to an Analysis Services db in a script task within my control flow:
Dim oConnectionSR As ConnectionManager
oConnectionSR = Dts.Connections("OLAPServer.Sales")
This script is used by a script task within each of three child packages that are called by a parent package. Each call is made to a different OLAP cube. The first package makes the connection and runs fine. When the second package runs, it still sees the connection value from the first package and fails.
What is the best way to close the connection once it is no longer needed? I have tried the dispose() method, and that did not work.
Thanks for your help!

SSIS Package Hangs In Data Flow, Magically Works After Opening And Closing Components
Nov 2, 2006We're experiencing a problem where intermittently our SSIS packages will hang. There are no log errors or events in the event viewer. It will happen whether the package is executed from the SQL Job Agent or run from BIDs. When running from BIDs it appears to hang inside one of the data flows (several parallel pipes with sorts, merge joins etc...). It appears to hang in multiple pipes within the data flow component. The problem is reproducable, we just kill it and re-run, and it appears to hang in the same places.
Now here's the odd thing: as we simply open and close some of the components in the pipe line after the place it hangs, a subsequent run will go further in the pipeline before hanging. If we open and close all the components after the point it initially hung, the data flow will run fine, from there on out. When I say "open and close" I mean no changes are made, we simply double-click the component, like a merge join, then click 'close.'
To me this does not seem like a memory problem but likely something is wrong with the metadata, where opening a component and closing it somehow alters the metadata to "right it".
This seems to occur intermittently after we make modifications to the package. It's like if you make any mod, even unrelated to the data flow, you then have to go through and open and close every component in your package to ensure it will work. Again, no errors or warnings are fired.
Has anyone seen this type of problem?
Problem In Closing Connections

Connections are sleeping... I have increse my pool size to 500 and now
i have chaos of 500 sleeping connections... How ever
I have found that even after Opening Enterprize manager i can not kill
Process... How ever my administrator can kill the process from his
enterprize manager... Is there some problem with my credentials or do i need to find out the leakage in my code...How ever I have checked twice or thrice but my code is Ok and i have Closed connection properly every where... I am using SQL Server 2000 and ASP.Net 1.1

SQL Server 2000 Not Closing Connections Help!!
Jan 31, 2008
I am experiencing a strange problem on a new installation of SQL Server 2000, installed on Windows 2003 server. SQL server has been service packed to SP3a
The users connect to the SQL database via an MS Access project front end, when they log out of the front end the SQL server still show them as connected in Management > Current activity > process info. I can kill the processes left behind but i am confused as to why this is happening.
The database was recently moved from an SQL installation on a Windows 2000 server to this new Windows 2003 server, the problem didnt occur on the old server and no upgrades have been applied to the database or the front end since the move, which makes me think something is not right about the install.
Any advice would be gratefully received
Thanks

Osql Batch Processing Without -i
Jan 17, 2006Hi,I have just started using MSSQL and the DOS environment at work. I havea lot of experience with Sybase and the UNIX environment, but this is awhole new ball of wax.I'd like to use osql from a batch file to log into the dataserver andrun a fairly long list of SQL and then exit. I don't want to have a bunchof SQL files sitting around that I have to use the -i option to run, andI'd rather not create temporary SQL files like this.echo "exec sp_who2" >tmp.sqlecho "select * from....... " >>tmp.sqlosql -E -S <DATASERVER> -n -w999 -i tmp.sqldel tmp.sqlI can't use the -Q option, of course because as I said, I'll be writingquite a few lines of SQL, and it won't all fit on the one line, or at leastit wouldn't be pretty if I did.In UNIX, I can simply execute the following from either the command lineor ina script.isql -S<DATASERVER> -U<USER> <<-EOFsp_whogoselect * from .....goEOF --EOF is the isql session terminator exits me back to the command line.This behavior does not appear to work with OSQL. There is a -O optionwhich help mentions, and that talks about disabling the EOF terminator forbatch processing, but I wasn't able to find any usage or examples on the netwhere someone is using EOF to terminate their OSQL SQL batch.This is what help listed.[-O use Old ISQL behavior disables the following]<EOF> batch processingAuto console width scalingWide messagesdefault errorlevel is -1 vs 1Any help you could offer would be appreciated.

Errors Opening ADO Connections Using COM+ Component
Mar 19, 2008Hello,
We have a strange problem occurring in an environment at a remote client that we're looking into. I was wondering if anybody else has experienced something similar.
We have a COM+ transactional component sitting on a machine that connects to a SQL server machine in the same room (ie no firewall between the two as far as I know, but I'll double check that to make sure).
This component was written in Delphi and uses ADO (sqloledb provider) to connect to the SQL Server. This works 99% of the time. However, there are times where we get the following error when trying to open connection (using the Connection ADO interface):
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (WrapperRead()).]General network error. Check your network documentation
or this:
Connection failure
The error codes associated with these were found in oledb.pas :(-2147467259) $8004D01C and (-2147168228) $80004005
When this happens, it seems to last a few seconds (usually around 10) and then everything comes back to normal. I'm just wondering what could make this happen when the SQL Server seems to be responsive when we try to connect to it using other means. The SQL machine runs Win2k3 sp2 for testing purposes.
Since we were not able to reproduce it yet, I wrote a little application trying to connect to a sql server when it is set on pause. When I run it inside a COM+ transaction, I get the same errors as above right away, the third time I'll get an error telling me that SQL is in pause state, If I run the exact same code but inside a simple vbs application (ie no COM+ transaction), I only get the pause error message sometimes after a few more seconds, and none of the other errors above. Could it be that the COM+ transaction is trying to do other things and these fail so it returns another error? If so, how come after a bit I get the proper message?
Anyways, I'm pretty lost as to why this is happening and how we can try to debug it since we have not been able to reproduce it yet. If anybody has any clues, please let me know.
Many thanks,
Greg

Stopping/starting Sql Server With Commandlinecommands In Batch To Free Up Idle Connections?
Oct 21, 1999Hello:
We have a new sales force automation application for sales rep to log their contacts, etc. It runs on mssql 6.5, sp 4.
They log in and leave their connections on without logging off or leave their coonections idle .
We set the user connections fiarly high but we are concerned that the max amount of user connections weill be consumed and the sql serve becomes locked.
My questions are:
1) Is there any parameter in the sql server configuration that will log off idle users have a certain time and dsiconnect them?
2) A backup of the database will be made each night. If there is no parameter, would it be a good idea to stop and start the sql server every night to release the idle connections?
3) If so, how to stop sql server from the commadn and start it with a command line command and do this in a batch file as a scheduled task?
4) Is there any other way to release these idle connections each night?
Any information you can supply will be appreciated. THanks.

Running SQL In A Batch Program
Apr 6, 2001I need to create a program that will run Client Access to download data from the AS400 to a flat file, then run SQL DTS to import the data into a table for use by another software package.
I've created a bat file that does that using the CA RTOPCB command and the SQL DTSRUN utility. Problem is that it appears that I need to first check to see if there is a table in SQL and if there is to delete it. Otherwise, rather than overlay the existing data in the table it adds to it.
Is there a way to issue a SQL drop table in DOS? Or am I missing something that could be done in SQL?
The DTSRUN is using a local package and CA is using a transaction request.
Running Batch Scripts
Jun 28, 2006I've have been sent a large number scritps to update one of the databases i look after. Problem is there are hundreds of individal script files, all of which need to be run.
Is there a script / tool i could use, which would run all of the .sql files in a certain directory and update the database?
I can't seem to find anything built into SQL Server. Job schedular would seem to be the closest thing, but it would still require you select each script needed to be run.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks
