Hello,
I am looking for some way to run a sql query from a batch file on the SQL server. The query needs a user entered parameter, if that can be accomodated it would be great.
I read about some osql command & tried to run it but it kept saying "Server does not exist or access denied."
Please give me the steps to go about this.
Thanks,

Hi
Is it possible using T-SQL to run a batch file located on different server, ie. PC1 has SQL Server on it, PC2 has the batchfile, I need to run the batchfile stored on PC2 on PC1.

Hi
I am trying to run a batch file stored on different server from the one that SQL Server is on using T-SQL. I am using the following syntax:
EXEC master..XP_CMDShell '\hit1DEVArchivingArchivingDataFiles.zipdata.bat'
But it doesnt seem to be working, it states that it is not recognised as an internal or external command.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Exec master..xp_cmdshell "bcp sdnetpro..nbtorder11 out d:databtorder11.txt /c /t /Sservername /Usa /Ppassword"
Hi, this code run fine from within sql server query window. I want to put this code in a batch file and run the batch file.. it did not work. someone told me the revised code is :
bcp sdnetpro..nbtorder11 out d:databtorder11.txt /c /t,/r -Sservername -Usa -Ppassword"
This is not working. Please if anyone knows how to fix this, I would appreciate. One more thing, how can I confirm that the bcp has successfully done. do I have to create a log file and if so what is the code to create this log file.
thanks

Is there a way to run/call a batch file from a stored procedure?
Or, is there a way to run/call a batch file from a trigger?
I've written a small dos batch script that runs a simple query throughosql and then calls an exe which sends an email if the returned value
Quote:
I 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 tried the following but file dir.rpt is never created. in fact, the exec statement appears to lock-up forever.
exec xp_cmdshell 'c: empjunkdir.bat'
dir.bat Contains
dir c: > c: empjunkdir.rpt
This should be easy!

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

'CompanyName' scripting variable not defined.
'Shippers' scripting variable not defined.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Server L1P2P3SQLEXPRESS, Line 1

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.

How can I call a batch file from within Query Analyzer, which is the same batch I'm using with isqlw command.
Thanks
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,
Dave
We are running SQL 7 on a Windows NT Server. If you copy a 25Mb filefrom this machine to a W2K server, the file copy takes over 5 minuteson a 100Mpbs switched network.Copying the same file to another NT server takes only seconds, andcopying the same file to the W2K server from the 2nd NT server, (whichis not running SQL) takes only seconds also.Has anyone any ideas as to why file copying between this machine and aW2K one will take so long. It is repliacted on 5 further w2K machines.

Hi,
I'm trying to run a simple batch file from a SQL job (SQL 7.0 sp4). No errors are received but the job does not complete. When I try to run the job manually, I get a message stating "Error 22022: SQLServerAgent Error: Request to run job my_job (from User DomainAdminUser) refused because the job is already running from a request by Schedule 127 (Schedule 1).
The services are running as a domain admin account.
Help!
Thanks in advance.
I 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.
I'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

Does anyone know how to run a script to get the log size and log space?
When I run the following command it does not work and I don't know why.
DBCC SQLPERF (logspace)
USE [master]
GO
SELECT *
FROM sysfiles
WHERE name LIKE '%LOG%'
GO
EXEC sp_spaceused
If I run this command on a different server I get the ouput that I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to keep applications off of my database server so I have set up an application server (APPServer1). On APPServer1 I have a batch file that bcp’s data from DBServer1 into DBServer2 and is being passed the server name of DBServer2. On DBServer1 I have mapped a drive to the directory of APPServer1 and have created a task to run the batch job and pass the server name. So here’s my problem: when the scheduler runs the job, the bcp to DBServer2 fails, because it can not find DBServer2. When I execute the exact same command line in a DOS Box on DBServer1, the bcp works fine. I have verified that the server name is being passed correctly to the batch job in both methods.
Thanks in advance.

I have created a master controller package which runs as follows
deletes all the log files -> deletes few flat files on different drives -> preprocess task(execute package task) -> c# executable (execute process tasks) -> postprocess tasks (execute package tasks)
i need a create a task just before the preprocess task with an user input asking whether he wants to run a particular batch file before proceeding to preprocess. if the user says yes it should run a batch file followed by preprocess tasks, c# and post process or else it should directly goto preprocess, c# and post process (neglecting batch file task)
can anyone help me how to do it.
Hi,
I had created 2 packages... one is the parent package and contains a 50 iterations loop running a secondary package for each iteration... i had reached the following conclusion:
My package takes an average of 5 seconds from the time it ends executing one iteration and starts another... after about 30 iterations... my average time between end and start increases significantly to about 12 secs or even more...
All packages have delay validation set to false, and receive several variables from the parent package... Has for the logging, it is done to files based on a path coming from a variable in the parent package.
To execute the parent package i am using dtexecui.exe and i consider this behavior rather strange... had anyone experienced the same? Can anyone test this?
My environment is a 4 x64 processors with 8gb memory, so i guess its good enough to get 0 secs from end to start
I already consider the first 5 seconds weird...
Best Regards,
My intention is to include a sql job to schedule for shrinking log files to half of its original log file size (if half of their original size is greater than 5MB)
The code is below. But while executing the code it is keeps on running indefinitely. can somebody throw some light what cause it to go into an indefinite loop.
Thanks

I'm trying to set up Service Broker Services on SQL 2005 x86. I've got two services set up, and a stored procedure associated with one of them.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a simple update statement that is running forever in SQL 2005 but works fine in SQL 2000. We have a new server we put SQL 2005, restored db. The table in question WEEKLYSALESHISTORY I even re-indexed all the indexes and rebuilt the stats as well. But still no luck, still running extremely long. 1 hour 20 minutes.
I'll try to give you some background on these table. Weeklysalehistory has approx 30 fields. I have 11 indesxes set up weekending date being one of them. And replication control has index on lasttrandatetime as well. So I think my indexes are fine.
/* Update WeekEnding Date for current weeks WeeklySales Records */
Update WeeklySalesHistory set
weekendingdate =
(SELECT LastTransDateTime from ReplicationControl
where TableName = 'WEEKHST')
where weekendingdate is null
Weekly sales has approx 100,000,000 rows
Replication control has 631,000 (Ithink I can delete some from here to bring it down to 100 or 200 records) Although I don't think this is issue since on 2000 has same thing and works fine.
I was trying to do this within SSIS and thought that was issue. I am new so SSIS but it runs long even if I just run it as a job with this simple Update statement so I think its something with tables, etc that is wrong.
One thing on noticed if I look at the statistics in SQL Server Management studio there is a ton of stats. some being statistics on indexes which makes sense then I have a ton of hind_113_9_6 and simiiar one like this. I must have 90 or so named like this. Not sure how to check on SQL 2000 all the stats to see if they moved over from there or what. I checked a few other tables and don't have all these extra stats. Could this be causing the issue do I need to delete all these extras? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

how to catch batch id from a running stored procedure. My intention is that when we run store procedures in batch we are running a lot of procedures and I would like to log each run and if the same procedure is running several times per day I need to separate the runs by a "batch id" for the specific run. I have created a logtable and a logprocedure that logs the start and end of a procedure run and also some values for the run. So I'm trying to find a way of fetching the "batch id" that the sp is running so I can separate the runs when analyzing the logtable. I have looked at metadata tables and also in the table sys.sysprocesses but I cannot find BATCH ID.
View 11 Replies View RelatedHere's a challenge that is killing me:I've got 2 web servers and a SQL Server and about 5,000 'users' whostay connected to the site all day. I have a page that is supposed tobe 'real-time', so to do this, I have a 1px frame that refreshes every15 seconds (so the other frame doesn't have to reload all the time--thetop only reloads when a new record or a changed record hits the db).The real time data can be filtered in about 8 different ways.Currently, I have each user querying a table that contains 1 record,including the max ID and the most current insert/update posting date.The browser contains a cookie with that date. When the browser receivesnotification that there is some new info on the server, it refreshesthe top page and reloads the data. This is happening for all users. So,I thought to eliminate the 5,000 users running the same (or closevariations) of the same query each time a records is inserted/updated,that I would generate an XML file with the current day's data.In a dev environment this works 'ok'. I'm doing this by running anActiveX job on the SQL Server that calls a stored proc (FOR XML) andwrites the content to a file. Then from the web servers, I'm queryingthis file for the new timestamp and then if newer than the cookie,grabbing the XML (using the httprequest in the ASP XMLDOM) and usingXSLT to transform the data instead of parameterizing the queries.Theoretically I love this solution. Problems happen in a LIVEenvironment where either the file is being written to or the job isn'table to run. When 2 records are trying to be written within the samesecond, the file isn't being written (or maybe that the http requestingthe XML is keeping the file locked?)....anyway...this is a HUGE problethat I can't seem to solve. Once we roll to .NET I think storing thedataset in cache and updating cache (still don't know how I'll triggerthat without each user checking the db)....Long winded, sorry...help?

In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.
