Management Studio Express && SQLcmd: Syntax Errors In Executing A MS-DOS Batch File && A Microsoft SQL Server Query File?
Nov 2, 2007Hi 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,
Scott Chang

Query In Bat File?
Jul 23, 2005Ok, I know this is a stupid newbie question, but I'm a stupid newbie,so it fits.I've got a query that writes a basic report, and I need to be able togive it to a user who doesn't even know how to spell SQL to run.Basically, I want her to be able to double click on a bat file on hercomputer, and it'll produce an output file based on what the queryfinds in the database.I've got the query in a file with a .sql extension, and it runs fine inQuery Analyzer. I saw an old post when searching the google archivesfor this newsgroup, which says to create a .bat file with a command inthe format:isql -Usa -Ppassword -ic: est.sql -oc: est.logThat doesn't work, though. My output file ends up having the error:DB-Library: Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does notexist. Unable to connect: SQL Server does not exist or network accessdenied.Net-Library error 52: ConnectionOpen (Connect()).I think I understand what the problem is, but I'm not sure what to doabout it. I'm not telling it where the SQL server is. I think theprevious conversation where I got this advice was assuming that thiswould all be done on the same machine as the database, when I'm tryingto run this from just any generic PC on the same network as thedatabase server. How/where do I tell the bat file what server that Iwant it to go to? Or am I completely off in thinking that's theproblem?--Richard

Query Results To A CSV File
Mar 2, 1999HI
Im running a query using isql from the command line and outputting the results
to a file. Ideally I'd like to have the file in csv format so that it can be used by a client to import the results into their system.
I can run a query and output the results to a file but get i dont get the csv format I require. I can separate the columns using /s parameter but I also additional space within the column fields.
I know it is possible to create the csv format using the SQL query tool and ISQL_w but I was wondering if there was some parameter that I can call that will format the output like the format options in ISQL_w allows me to do.
Thanks in advance

WQL Query To Watch For A File
Aug 17, 2006I need an example of a WQL query to use in the WMI Event Watcher task to watch for the presence of a file. The task has to succeed for either:
1) The file already exists when the task is run
2) The file shows up while the task is running (waiting)
Also the query has to reference a UNC path and file name. The file I'm looking for is just a flag file telling me a table is refreshed in our Data Warehouse.
I also need pointers on how to set the WMI connection manager. For the server, do I use the \servername of the fileserver? Do I need to include the folder the files are in (eg. \servernameflags)?
Thanks!

Output Query To Xml File
Apr 13, 2006I have an sp that runs a query in xp_cmdshell/BCP combo that puts the output into an XML file (using for xml auto hint on the end of the query).
I personally feel that I should now (under SQL 2K5) be able to do this within a query, not going any where near xp_cmdshell or bcp, and then use SSIS in the final step to ftp it up to the clients site.
It builds a command string in the sp, then runs that command string via xp_cmdshell.
I guess what I'm asking is, is it possible to run a query within an SP with the output going to an XML file on the server automatically? AND that file to be a well formed XML file?
Any suggestions?
Getting A File Name From Query Analyzer
Sep 24, 2006Hi all,
im trying to write a stored procedure that will basically browse a folder and get me the first file that it sees. Is there any way that I can do this in TSQL or using CLR in C#? I was thinking something along the lines of using the dos dir command and triyng to pipe it into a variable, not sure how to go about doing this. Any suggestions?
dir /b ...gives me the bare file names, but it lists all the files in the folder, any way that i can just get the first file ( i dont really care what file).

Feb 7, 2008Ok, so im pretty much finished writing my forum web page. However to display things like how many replies each thread has and who replied last, i need to perform a query in the code file. Im guessing its simple enough but i cant get the syntax for actually performing any query. I already know the sql syntax like select * from all that stuff but how do i get do something like:
Dim x as integer = sqlQuery("Select count(*) FROM ...")
Currently i have it all working by creating a table and making it invisible and just pulling data from the table but thats sloppy and pretty ineffecient if i databind a table for every single topic name.
Reading Query From .sql File Error
Feb 4, 2005I have a report that is based on a query that is read from a .sql file and is executed in the stored procedure. I found this code on the internet. When I run the SP in Query Analyser it tells me that "2 rows have been affected". I don't know why I don't get the data. Any help??
Stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE TimeTracker_Report_ClientNumbers2
AS
DECLARE @SQLQuery as NVARCHAR(4000)
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #tmpQuery (Query NVARCHAR(4000))
BULK INSERT #tmpQuery FROM '\servernameQueriesReport_ClientNumbers.sql'
SELECT @SQLQuery = Query FROM #TMPQUERY
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLQuery
END

and Report_ClientNumbers.sql contains the following query:
SELECT Name, ClientNumber FROM Companies WHERE Not ClientNumber IS NULL ORDER BY ClientNumber

Save Results Of Query To CSV File
Aug 20, 1999I want to write a small program (maybe just a stored procedure) that will save the results and column names of a simple query to CSV file. This will then be copied onto disk and distributed to user who'll use Excel or a similar package to open the CSV file.
Any suggestions as to the best way to achieve this? I was considering using a view and then BCP but I have problems then when trying to open the CSV file in excel (or other spreadsheet package). Doesn't like the datatypes and so on.
Is there a simple way to do this? And is it possible to save the results in such a way that Excel will choose the right datatypes for the columns. (not convert varchar's like '000122' to numbers.)

Query Unattached .mdf File For Location Of .ldf
Apr 28, 2008I'm writing a script for a pending migration (2k enterprise to 2k5x64 enterprise). I've got about 325 or so databases, spanned across 3 instances that I need to migrate. My plan is to do a mass scripted detach of all DBs of the old boxes, copy the files (on a new domain) and then reattach all of the mdf and ldf files.
I've been writing a sql script that will scan a "staging" directory for each of the MDF and LDF files, then programmatically run sp_attachdb. The problem is that the mdf and ldf files weren't always a 1 to 1 naming convention. My predecessors stuck all sorts of things in the file names that make doing a simple scripted search pretty difficult. The disk paths are going to be different from server to server (simpler), so I need to move the files
Is there a way (using sp_attachdb or otherwise) that I could somehow scan each of the MDF files to get the path of the LDF? I can already do that with a .bak file using the RESTORE FILELISTONLY command, but I'm not sure how to do it like this. I'm figuring there has to be a way though, as SSMS seems to know where the LDF is if you try to attach an MDF.
Usually, Google does well, but I haven't been able to find anything as of yet. Any ideas?
