Hi friends,
Suppose that I want to generate an script that has a
"DROP TABLE <table_name>;" for each table in one of our databases.In Oracle I can do this using "spool" command in "SQL Plus" which is a commandline utility somewhat like isql or osql(I don't know these two perfectly! ).For example:
Code:
spool c:DropAllTables.sql
select "DROP TABLE "||table_name||";" from user_tables;
spool off
And this will generate that script with many drop within that.Would you please clarify me, if there is such a thing in SQL Server 2000?
-Thanks a lot
you can use OSQL or BCP in a command line the command line is something like that : osql -UMyUser -PMyPwd -DMyDatabase -Slocal -i query.sql -o ficspool.txt -e
I am running backups on SQL Sever express and I take backups via the batch file executing the TSQL as below. This works perfectly fine, I just need to be able to spool out the backup completion log. What TSQL command can I use to do that?
My batch file looks like this:
@echo off sqlcmd -S SERVER01 -E -i H:master_scriptsTOM_FAM_log.sql
Which will the call the TOM_FAM_log.sql :
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) -- database name DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name SET @path = 'H:BackupTOM_FAM'
[Code] ....
Usually if we schedule the backups using the maintenance plan, we can chose reporting options that can spool the result of the backup to a text file. What is the T-SQL for the spool report to a text file.
This option produces a file that writes logs with the details I posted below. I would like to do the same or similar using T-SQL in my code.
Microsoft(R) Server Maintenance Utility (Unicode) Version 11.0.3000 Report was generated on "SERVER01". Maintenance Plan: Backup logs Duration: 00:00:00 Status: Succeeded.
What causes the query optimizer to choose a table spoollazy spoolaction in the execution plan? The explanation of "optimize rewinds"makes little sense because my query never comes back to that table.I'm going to have to change the query but it would be helpful if Iknew what I should be trying to avoid.David
I am in need of urgent help. i do believe that when you used the command SPOOL filename without specifying an extension name, it automatically puts an .lst extension name. Can you help me identify if there is any way i can generate a file without an extension name? I am in need of help right now. I hope someone will answer my post as soon as possible. I really really appreciate it!
I have a CTE query against a table with 32K rows that runs fine in 2008R2. I am running it in 2014 Std Ed. against the same data and it runs very slowly. Looking at the execution plan I think I see what's contributing to the slowness.
Note that the "actual number of rows" is some 351M...how is this possible?
the query:
declare @amts table (claim int,allowed decimal(12,2),copay decimal(12,2),deductible decimal(12,2),coins decimal(12,2)); ;with unpaid (claimID) as (select claimID from claim where amt+copay + disct+mm + ded=0) insert @amts select lineID, sum(rc), sum(copay), sum(deduct), case when sum(mm)>0 and (sum(mm)<sum(mmamt)) then sum(mm) else 0 end from claimln where status is null and lineID not in (select claimID from unpaid) group by lineID
it's like there's some massively recursive process going on?
Hi all, I have a table with the list of tables I need to drop. So basically before droping those tables I need to disable the FK and PK constraints. So I want to spool out the out of this script. SELECT 'ALTER TABLE ' + QUOTENAME( c.TABLE_NAME ) + ' NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ' + QUOTENAME( c.CONSTRAINT_NAME ) AS ALTER_SCRIPT FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS AS c WHERE CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'FOREIGN KEY'
Is there a way to store the output of this script in a .sql file so that I could execute it. Any thoughts will help! Thank you!
I need to write a process to get file size in kb and record count in a file. I was planning on writing a c# console app that takes the file path and name as a param however should i use a CLR?
I cant put a script in the ssis when it's bringing the file down because it has been deemed that we only use ssis for file consumption.
For a database, we have 4 data files in a particular file group and the file sizes are almost 70 GB each.
Do I come across any performance issues if I create/pre-allocate an additional data file in the same file group so that the existing files don't grow too much?
In a server we had File Growth,And then We had to Add New Hard Drive And New File On It.And Now We have New server with a Huge Hard Drive.But all files remaind.Can I Reduce This files to One data file or not ?
I am able to run SSIS packages as SQL Server Agent jobs with a Control Flow items "File system task", if I move a file (test.txt) from a drive (c on the server (where SQL Agent jobs run) to a subdirectory on the same drive. But, if I try to move a file on a network drive, the package fail.
Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.
one of my database data file is 100 GB and the log file is 500 GB.DB is in full recovery model and the transaction logs happen once in 6 hours.Even then, the Database log file isn't reducing in size.
I am deploying programatically an Excel 2007 file to a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Server. The problem is that if a file with the same name already exists, that file isn't replaced. I would like the opposite to happen. I'm using the following code:

When I send my query results to a file in SQL Server Management Studio, how come I'm seeing the following in Notepad++? FH TEST "FH" which I thought should be in a CHAR(2) data column is there but "TEST" seems to start in Column 6...not column 3 as I would have expected. I was expecting... FHTEST.
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.
I'm not really sure my question belongs to here...

Hi All, Please some one help me... I have to insert a csv into one table in sql server. But the problem is the file is in one server and SQL SERVER 2005 is in other server.. how do i insert the file.... please help me.....
I have written my application in vb.net with the data file being a sql server .mdf file currently stored on my hard drive using an instance of sql express.
However the intention is to have the file on a file server so that the client will be on users computers and the database on the server.
I just tested my app with the .mdf file on a file server and got this error:
The file "\mazepcc$DeveloperTestDBTestSQL.mdf" is on a network path that is not supported for database files. An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file "\mazepcc$DeveloperTestDBTestSQL.mdf" failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Oh please PLEASE tell me I can access an mdf file on the network!!
I am in BIG s**t if it it is not possible.
If not can anyone please suggest a way to save my bacon?
For the record a SQL Server instance on this or any other server is out of the question!
I thought that as VS.NET provided all the divers etc it would work.
I am in meltdown panic mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,My webhost (1and1) is running SQL Server 2000 and their web tool supports the import of .bak files. However, when I try to import my .bak files created in SQL Server Management Studio Express I get the following error:"The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database. RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally."I have Googled this error and learnt that 2005 .bak files are not compatible with 2000 .bak files. I'm just wondering if there are any work arounds to this or alternative tools that I can create 2000 compatible .bak files from from 2000/2005 .mdf files.Thanks in advance.
Hello, I am new to this sql server reporting server technology. I have a requirement like the table header should repeat in all pages of the exported excel's print preview. So I have created the header columns with fixed lenths as same as table's header in the page header of the report. Then only the Header will repeat in all pages of the print preview.
But the problem is when doing like this, many of the columns have been merged together. The report layout is ok. But cant sort the data. It says a message "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized."
In some forms i have found the header control's edges need to be sized identically with the tables' columns edges. I did it. But still the columns are merged when exporting.
Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.
May Any one guide me? I have a backup file of database which is in SQL Server 2000. it has no Extension.I want to restore this backupfile or this database in my SQL Server 2005. I have tried to Attach Database or attach this backup file in Sql Server2005 but it also fails . First I have created New database name as is on the backupfile and then I have also tried to rename this file with .bak extension and then try to restore again it fails. Plese Guide me urgently........ :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
1. I have sql 2008 R2 running on my LocalHost. 2. Created Data Base [Customer]. 3. Created Linked Server [CUSTOMERLINK] USING Microsoft Jet 4.0 to link to Drive F:Data which has DBF files in it. 4. Create dbo.Customer_Upload Table. 5. INSERT INTO [Customer].[dbo].[Customer_UpLoad] ([Name],[Email]) SELECT NAME,EMAIL FROM [CUSTOMERLINK]...[CUS]
All this works fine. I can even put it in to an After Insert Trigger on another table and it works.
My problem is that I need this to work in a scheduled job.
F:Data is just a folder with files in it.
This info is from a Restaurant POS system and I need to update it every night.
I have tried every which way to to setup the security issue as there isn't any login security on the folder and SqlServerAgent wants security.
I have a question about opening files in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
In the old Query Analyzer from SQL 2000 I can open SQL Files via drag & drop (from explorer to QA) or open it with a double click in the explorer. Then the Files opened, if I had actual a connection to a server / database (QA is stared with one file and has a connection to Server/Datebase), with this connection.
Now in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I'll be asked everytime for Server and have to get the database from the database list - it does not connect automaticly to server/database, that is actual connected (I have opened a file with the connection and a connected database in the object explorer).
Someone do not have this problem - but we found no option to set it up.
