Executing Osql Commands Through Batch File
Sep 13, 2006
Hello
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

I 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,
Nitrox

Hi all,
I have the "Northwind" database in my Sql Server Management Studio Express.
In my C:ProSSEAppsSamplesForChapter02Chapter02 folder, I have the following 2 files:
(1) ListColumnValues (MS-DOS Batch File)
sqlcmd -S .sqlexpress -v DBName = "Northwind" CName = "CompanyName" TName =
"Shippers" -i c:prosseappschapter02ListListColumnVales.sql -o
c:prosseappschapter02ColumnValuesOut.rpt
(2) ListColumnValues (Microsoft SQL Server Query File)
USE $(Northwind)
GO
SELECT $(CompanyName) FROM $(Shippers)
GO
When I ran the following SQLcmd:
C:ProSSEAppsSamplesForChapter02Chapter02>ListColumnValues.bat
I got the following "ColumnValuesOut.rpt" with error messages:
'Northwind' scripting variable not defined.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Server L1P2P3SQLEXPRESS, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near '$'.
'CompanyName' scripting variable not defined.
'Shippers' scripting variable not defined.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Server L1P2P3SQLEXPRESS, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'CompanyName'.
I copied these T-SQL statements from a book and I do not know how to correct them.
Please help and tell me how to correct these errors.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,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. Thanks.Darren

i am testing some encryption
scenarios ,in profiler the statements like "OPEN KEY" and all "Encrypt"
and "Decrypt" functions are removed automaticly from the trace
and replaced with a comment ,create a trace and try the code i attached ,
you will see in profiler trace that that all encryption related commands
are commented out ,this is what expected.
but now go to the batch and comment out the "SELECT @rrr' statment,
and run the batch ,this batch will fail beacuse "@rrr" is not declared,
now go back to profiler and you will see that for the failed batch
all the encryption command are NOT COMMENTED OUT !!!
esspecially important is the visibility of the password of the open key command.
seems like a very dangerous bug to me!!!
CREATE CERTIFICATE test1
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'pGFD4bb925DGvbd2439587y'
WITH SUBJECT = 'Sammamish Shipping Records',

Is there any code available to do this?

I am using the following batch file to execute a script that creates a db and all its objects in the local sql express:
sqlcmd -S (local)SQLExpress -i C:CreateDB.sql
This works fine, but I'm wondering if there's an easy way to put the script in the batch file, so users don't have to worry about putting the script in the C drive. I tried getting rid of the i parameter and pasting the script from the sql file into the batch file, but it didn't work.
Thanks,

Hello,
I have an "execute process" task which executes a perl script. When I run the task, it shows a prompt with the message "the publisher can not be verified". It gives the option to continue the task or to cancel.
The problem for me is that I want to schedule this package to run automatically, and I don't want the automated process to show this dialog. I need to override the security setting and have SSIS execute my batch scripts without prompting. Assuming I don't want to rewrite the Perl code into a script task, is there a way to do acomplish this?
Thanks!

no sql error code in message and no error found in eventviewr (sqlserver log, windows log, application log ecc)when i run that query i got this message in "messages" tab, and in results tab i got a strange result, indeed the value returned doesn't exists in table.
ex table1.field1 possible values= 2,3
it returns 1113344
we got that error thru jdbc too...that query use a lot of joins, unfortunatley i can't post it here. today got this error, so i make a copy of 1 of involved table into another db in the same instance, re run the query on the original db, and it works well.

Everybody,I've been doing a lot of on-line research and cannot findany reference to the exact problem I'm having.Let me preface this question with the fact that I'm comingfrom an Oracle background so my approach may not be the bestway to tackle this. However, from the research I have donethis approach seems reasonable. Also, I know about theundocumented procedure sp_MSforeachtable. That can give me aresult similar to what I'm looking for but the format of theoutput is not what I need.Now the problem. I'm trying to write a reusable script to giveme a list of all the tables in a database that have 1 or more rows.My approach is to a BAT file (see script 1 below) that calls OSQLtwice, once to call a SQL script (see script 2 below) that uses theInformation_Schema views to generate the SELECT COUNT(*) statementsand fill in all the tables names in the database, write this to atemporary output file and the second OSQL command to read thetemporary output file and generate me the results formatted theway I need.The result of the first OSQL run is correct EXCEPT for 1> 2> 3> 4> 5>6> 7> 8> 9> 10> 11> 12> 13> garbage at the beginning of the file.Because of this garbage the 2nd OSQL command blows up! Anyone haveany idea what is generating this garbage?If I manually edit out the garbage and then just run the 2nd OSQLcommandI get similar garbage in the final result file (see 2nd result filebelow).In Query Analyzer, when I run the GET_TABLE_COUNT.SQL Script manuallythen take its output and copy and paste it to a new query window andrun that it works OK except for generating lots of blank lines wherethe result of the tables that have zero rows are. I am suppressingheadings but am still getting the blank lines but at least it works!Any ideas anybody?

I would like to set up a batch file that will copy a SQL Server
backup file from the local drive to the network drive. I would
like to append the file date to the end of the copied file. I

I am attempting to pull in data from a flat file data source that contains dates in the following format "01012007 10:22" which translates to Month Day Year and Military Time. I want to turn this into a DateTime format so that I can insert it into the proper column. I have a SQL statement which will do this (see bellow), but I can't figgure out how to run the statement on the data before it reaches its destination.
Can anyone help?
The code is:
Code Block
cast(convert(varchar(16),(substring( REPORT_RUN_DATE,1,2 ) + '/' + substring( REPORT_RUN_DATE,3,2 ) + '/' + substring( REPORT_RUN_DATE,5,10 )),1) as datetime) AS REPORT_RUN_DATE

I'm building a simple webform, except Visual Studio and my service provider have combined to drive me nutty.
First, I MUST use an ODBC connection to my remote SQL Server do to some unknown configuartion problem. I've been playing with Visual Studio for only a month, so normally when something goes wrong I can go look in the mirror and find the culprit. This is different. I've got a totally functional web form with a SQL Connection, but when I try to change it to an ODBC Connection, I get the following error.
An OdbcParameter with ParameterName '@CertHolder' is not contained by this OdbcParameterCollection
My coding is fine because I stole it straight from the walkthrough and it works. But the specifications that Visual Studio provide are quite suspect. Please note the failure to include some key "@" signs.

I am testing some maintenance tasks sql commands such as index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check on a SQL Server 2014 Database. This is a new non-production vendor database (DB Size 500 GBs, Log Size 25 GBs) which eventually will be created in production. Currently, it is in full recovery model and without log backups. The database has a whole lot of indexes. I am just trying to rebuild and reorganize all the indexes (that need it), in addition to trying to get an idea of how long these maintenance task will take and the space needed in the log file to complete these tasks/commands. I would like to execute these tasks manually (the first time) to gather the duration and space required information. Eventually, I would probably schedule a weekly job to perform this maintenance.
I ran the index rebuild task on the database and noticed that the log file grew by over 50 GBs. I killed the process and truncated and shrunk the log file back down.
1. Does the index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check commands all use the log file?
2. Does Indexs Reorg have less impact on log file then Index Rebuild?
3. Should a truncate log and shrink log file be performed after these maintenance commands?
4. Should a full database backup be performed after these maintenance commands? Or before the maintenance commands?
I have read and understand that shrinking is not good for the database (could lead to more fragmentation and more data file growth when data is added) and I know about rebuilding indexes when fragmentation is GT 30% and reorganizing indexes when fragmentation is GT 5% and LE 30%.
Since this is a non-production database maybe I should set the recovery model to simple, run the maintenance commands and leave the database in simple recovery model unless the vendor needs it in full recovery model for some unknown reason.
5. With the simple recovery model the log file should be reused in a circular manner and not grow during these maintenance tasks. Is this correct?

Hi,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.

Can someone show me an example of the syntax required to execute multiple BCP commands within the same batch (*.bat) file?
Sorry if this is a bit of a basic question, but not being a programmer by profession, I need to plead ignorance. I've tried a few things, but I just can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks!

I have a windows batch file that executes a SQL Server bcp command. Iwould like to obtain a return code if the bcp command fails. However,I cannot seem to find the return code (if any) for bcp. For example,if the bcp command is improperly formatted, or has a bad password, Iwant the batch file to return an error. Right now, my batch filesimply executes and returns success, even when the bcp command fails.Has anyone run into this before?Thanks!
