I am having trouble getting a job step to execute an executable file. One of the options for a job step is to enter an operating system command. I have tried entering the following operating system command to execute a file:
'start c:myfile.exe'
For some reason this doesn't work. How can I get SQL Server to execute an executable file?
I am situation, where we have a table named as Project, columns for the table as follows:
Code:
------------------------------------------
ID | ClientCode | ProjectName
------------------------------------------
1 | AAA | Dubai Airport Phase I
2 | AAA | Dubai Airport Phase II
3 | ARC | Salala
4 | MIZ | UMBC Building
------------------------------------------
Now my task was, whenever a project name and other details being created, then a Folder will be created in a server itself in the path E:ProjectFolder in following way:
E:ProjectFolderAAAAAA1
E:ProjectFolderAAAAAA2
E:ProjectFolderARCARC3
E:ProjectFolderMIZMIZ4
You can see here Folder and sub-folder is being created with that following project - client code & ID
I used following trigger to do the same:
Code:
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[CreateFolderName]
ON [dbo].[Project]
after INSERT
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
BEGIN
declare @chkdirectory as nvarchar(4000), @folderName varchar(100), @mainfolderName varchar(100)
declare @folder_exists as int
SET @mainfolderName = (SELECT ClientCode AS Project FROM INSERTED)
SET @folderName = (SELECT (ClientCode + cast(ID as varchar(10))) AS Project FROM INSERTED)
set @chkdirectory = 'E:ProjectFolder' + @mainfolderName + '' + @folderName
[code].....
This worked like a charm, now my next task is using same trigger, I have to create a BAT file inside that SubFolder - T-SQL for creation of BAT File as follows:
Code:
DECLARE @FileName varchar(50),
@bcpCommand varchar(2000)
SET @FileName = REPLACE('E:ProjectFolder[red](select ClientCode from INSERTED)[/red][red](select ClientCode + cast(ID as varchar(10)) from INSERTED)[/red]xcopy_'+ (SELECT cast(ID as varchar(10)) FROM INSERTED) +'.bat','/','-')
SET @bcpCommand = 'bcp "[red]SELECT 'xcopy "E:ProjectFolder' + clientCode + '" "10.0.0.35ProjectFolder" /T /E /I' FROM INSERTED[/red]" queryout "'
SET @bcpCommand = @bcpCommand + @FileName + '" -U SQLServerUsername -P SQLServerPassword -c'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @bcpCommand
Here I am not understanding how to insert the above T-SQL in the Trigger as well as the above T-SQL is not right, what's wrong in this?
Last query that will be included in the trigger is to execute the newly created bat file.
Hi,
Some of you guys seem to be gurus with the new Integration Services technology, so I hope someone can lend me some advice, as I haven't worked much with integration before.
Ok, here we go. What I want to do is select some data from my database and export the result to a flat file (really a .csv file with values delimited by semicolons). Sounds like a simple thing to do? Well, I'm sure it is when you know how to do it :) I know I could manage the same thing by writing a C# class that creates that .csv file, but the decision has been made to use Integration Services for these kind of operations.
I created an SSIS project in Business Intelligence Development Studio, and created a package (I defined the task flow etc.). By choosing "Execute package" from the IDE I managed to create the flat file, and everything seemed sweet. However, When trying to execute the package (package.Execute();) from C# code, it only results in a failure. I have read on several sites that this has to do with my program lacking the rights to run the package from the client side. OK, fair enough. I need to create the package on the server, and use an SQL Server Agent to execute the package through the agent.
Can anyone tell me how I need to do this? How can I ensure that the package is created on the sql server instead of locally on my development computer? When I create a new SSIS project the package is already made, and it is created locally on my PC.
I hope someone can give me some help. Even a little nudge would be appreciated ;)
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
DTS job fails with the following error, A Server (Windows 2003 SE with SP1) has 4 SQL Server 2000 instances with mixed of SP3 & SP4. But few jobs are failing in all the 4 instances.

Hi, and thanks for your help. I have created a simple batch that xcopy files from one directory to another shared directory (in another server). Here is the code:
xcopy c:OUT_TRANSIT E:BACKUP_CESWEB /y
the E:BACKUP_CESWEB is in another server where I mapped the BACKP_CESWEB folder and make it shared.
the location of the batch file is in c:code .
When I double click the batch, the files are moved into E:BACKUP_CESWEB But when I use the window 2000 schedule or try to run the batch code from within sql server analyser, I get no results.
Any idea how to solve this.
The bottom line is that I want to copy files from one server to another server.Thanks for your help

Hi all,As the topic describes, I'd like to run a batch file using sql server.How do i do it?Thanks in advance
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have create a batch file to execute a stored proc to import data.
When I run it from the server (Remote Desktop) it works fine, but if I share the folder and try to run it from my pc, it doesn't do anything. I don't get an error, it just doesn't do anything. My windows user has admin rights in SQL. Why is it not executing from my PC?
I've been struggling with this issue,
1) Test--FolderName (This Test folder name should use as a database name for below sub folders)
a)Create--Sub Foldername
i)create.sql

The scripts need to be run in order. So script one needs to run first folder in that sub folders after that next second folders etc..
Is there a way to create a bat file that automatically runs all these scripts, in order against, the databases they need to?
The databases that they need to run against have the name of the database at the beginning of the name of the folder.
what is the dump file in SQL server? how do I create it?

Hi ;
I am trying to create several Excel sheets using SQL 2000 views like so:
Select * INTO [Excel 8.0;Database="C:spreadSheetsaNew.xls"] FROM [aView].
When I try and execute this in my app I get the following - Specified owner
name 'Excel 8.0;Database=c:spreadSheetsaNew.xls' either does not exist or
you do not have permission to use it.
If I use the above Select statement with an OLEDB connection it works.
I am using Imports System.Data.SqlClient, instantiating a new SQlConnection
object, opening the connection, etc..

Hi,
I'm using SQL 7.0 SP2 on NT SP6a and have a quick question.
I want to create a scheduled job to execute several DTS packages (all located on the same server). I can use Enterprise Manager to schedule an individual package but the command line of the step has something like:
DTSRun /~S 0x26CE410E3EFF5E8B738DC1C3527EEA1A /~N 0xCAAF8584582AA98C09F5CF132CB0BB5F296D1E9053DD6526 717A53AD4134C3463615FEF20330386927242B6CB7070036 /E
Is using the DTSRUN utility the only way to create several steps in a job to run DTS packages ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

How does one create a linked server to an Access 2007 (accdb) file? I am aware that to create one to a mdb file, the code would be -EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'SEATTLE Mktg',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'C:MSOfficeAccessSamplesNorthwind.mdb'
GO
What is the corresponding code for Access 2007 accdb files?

Hi
I am supposed to execute the script provided to create tables in a database...but I am not getting it from where I run those scripts ?
The script has commands to create tables...
From where do i execute those ?
I am creating a login with a user in one database. The id has to
create procedures in the dbo schema, execute them, and grant execute on them to other users.
BOL says to
GRANT ALTER ON SCHEMA::DBO TO username ;
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO username ;
I did that. User can now create procedures, but cannot execute what he creates. And cannot grant execute on the sp to anybody.
I don't want to give this id a lot of priviledges.

In our development and test environments the developers need to create and execute stored procedures as dbo without having any other dbo permissions. If I place them in db_owner, they have too many permissions. Is there a way to address this situation?
I'm also curious how other companies address the subject of creating stored procedures in development and test environments. If I give developers create and execute permission in a database, all objects would be created as JohnDoe.storedprocedurename instead of dbo.storedprocedurename. Any help in this area is appreciated.

Hi ,
I have just downloaded an evaluation version of SQL server from the microsoft website and installed it in my PC.
Now I want to create file data source.
I followed these steps:
-From the control panel, ODBC datasource admin
-click the DSN tab
-click the add button
-select the sql server driver, enter the data source file name
-enter "local" in the server text box as I installed the sql server in my standalone PC.
-click next
After that I had this error.
"Connection failed. SQL server does not exist or access denied."
But The sql server service is running.
Can anyone help me where did my configuration go wrong??
Thanks...
