i have 20 .sql files that were written to create new views in a Database. We are moving over to a new database and need to run all of these scripts against the new database to add the views (each time we refresh for testing) Is there away to write a procedure that calls all of these .sql files so they do not have to be opened and run individually? I am thinking something like
EXEC xp_sqlmaint '
or
EXEC Master..xp_cmdshell
but I can not figure out the right syntax or else these are the wrong direction. What do you suggest?
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.
Did you have any success when running bat files (Execute Process Task) from SSIS through SQL Server Agent jobs? My package will succeed when I run it from my machine, when I ask the DBA to run it manually from the Server but not when we run from a job.
The job will hang and the bat file does not seem to be executed. The executable property does evaluate to the right path and the package owner does have write/execute permissions in the folder where the bat file is located.
Everything I could find close to that is under <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760>. Would you shed any light on this? When I run the same bat file from a DTS through SQL Server Agent job, it will work with no issues. Any help would be very much appreciated.
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)
I have several SQL files that make several different table updates and data changes.
How would I create something (maybe an SSIS package?) or even write a T-SQL script that runs through these files and executes the queries contained in them?
(I put this thread in SQL General also because I wasnt sure if this could be implemented in T-SQL or not.)
Right now what I have is a ForEachLoop Container with an ExecuteSQL task component inside of it. I'm thinking that the contents of each of the sql files would be copied over to a "Temp.sql" file and then executed in the loop. So I've created a Temp.sql file for this purpose and the properties of the ExecuteSQLTask component are setup as so:
(I've created my connection managers appropriately with an OLEDB source and a File Connection pointing to Temp.SQL) ConnectionType OLEDB Connection servertest SQLSourceType File connection FileConnection Temp.sql
And for my ForEachLoop container, my properties have been set as: Collection --> Enumerator Foreach File Enumerator
--- Enumerator Configurations --- Folder: C:lahblahblah Files: *.sql with retrieve file name set as Fully Qualified
Have I set this up properly? (obviously not, because it's not working )
Hi my data files sit in the default directories and I think they are causing my partition to run out of space. I mainly use one db that I created but don't use the others (ie master, model, tempdb, etc). Yet I see their MDF and LDF files are growing. What can I do to shrink them down or perhaps move them off to a larger partition after shrinking?
We are in the process of upgrading to a new SQL 2012 server but we have many packages that load data from dbf files created with FoxPro into one of our databases. We have not converted the packages and run them with DTS but we get the following error:
Error: 2013-08-26 11:05:27.36 Code: 0xC0209303 Source: BenchmarkLoad Connection manager "OLEDB NPIONE.Investment.middleTierSQL" Description: The requested OLE DB provider SQLNCLI.1 is not registered. If the 64-bit driver is not installed, run the package in 32-bit mode. Error code: 0x00000000.
[Code] .....
I searched for OLEDB and ODBC drivers for SQL 2012 64 bit but cannot find any that is newer than the 2005 that we have. What can I do short of changing the source files to overcome this issue?
I get the following message when I execute a mantenance plan to delete files older than 1 day.
Error # -1073548784
Executing the query "EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'',N'',N'2007-09-30T07:56:09' " failed with the following error: "Error executing extended stored procedure: Invalid Parameter". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?
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.
If I start a long running query running on a background thread is there a way to abort the query so that it does not continue running on SQL server?
The query would be running on SQL Server 2005 from a Windows form application using the Background worker component. So the query would have been started from the background workers DoWork event using ado.net. If the user clicks an abort button in the UI I would want the query to die so that it does not continue to use sql server resources.
One of my stored procs, taking one parameter, is running about 2+ minutes. But if I run the same script in the stored proc with the same parameter hardcoded, the query only runs in a couple of seconds. The execution plans are different as well. Any reason why this could happen? TIA.
I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.
In the For Loop, How to Iterate from Older flat files to Newer flat files based on File's Timestamp. If there are some older files in that folder, it should be processed first and then continue with the newer one.
In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this: 1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found; 2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

I am thinking about replacing the INSERT data scriptfiles that I have with XML files. This way I can open the XMLfile using an XML Editor and see the values in a GRID andmake changes easier.Do you see any problem with this approach?I managed to put together some code that is exportinga SQL table with its data to an XML file and also a codethat reads the XML file's data and inserts it into a table.Now I am researching on XSD, td:datatype, DTD...(I am new to XML) in order to figure out how I canuse a single xml file that will hold both the sql serverfields, the datatypes and their values.If you have links to some sample code that has anythingto do with the datatype export and import I am workingon, can you please share them with me?Most importantly what do you think about the idea of usingXML files vs sql scripts?Thank you
I am wanting to reduce the amount of Virtual Log Files I have. In reading through the Online Book Documentation, I realize that I have forgotten to move the Transaction Log Files to a different drive. Now that the server is in production, I wanted to get some input about the best way of making this change.
Can I just change the directory the log files are being written to in the DB properties without having any adverse problems occurring?
Hi! I'm using replication with two database on SQL 2000,when begin, the log files size is 50mb and the data files size is 150mb. But now the log files size is 2Gb and the data files size is 4Gb. I would like to decrease the log files and the data files ??? How do i do this??? (I using Truncate and shrink doesn't change ) Thanks!!!
I need to write codes to access many image files and wave files and display them on the webpage. Both of these files are stored on the server (as many experts in this forum adviced) and their locations are in the SQL server database. About the wav files, I think I will have to convert them to MP3 first for fast delivery on internet. Since I am a newbie, any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
I have a problem with bcp and format files.We changed our databases from varchar to nvarchar to support unicode. Noproblems so fare with that. It is working fine.But now I need a format file for the customer table and and it is notworking. It is working fine with the old DB with varchar, but withnvarchar I'm not able to copy the data.

Are there any MDS Descriptor Files associated with Databases Files? Are these associated with transaction logs? As per my information there are .mdf , .ndf and .ldf files.Could anyone please guide me ASAP,as there is an urgent requirement from one of the clients?
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
I might have a rather strange question but I was wondering if there is a way/tool that can be used to convert/import Word documents (.doc) into Reporting Services report files (.rdl). The problem is that I have lots of Word documents containing e.g. survey question. The reports are very extensive with many pages and many "graphical" objects e.g. rectangles etc.. Now I want to have all these reports imported into Reporting Services, i.e. I want the .doc-files to be converted to .rdl-files. I do not want to use e.g. OfficeWriter but I want the .doc-files to be migrated to the rdl-format. Is that possible, is there a tool for this? Both file formats are Microsoft formats, so there should be a conversation tool right?

I have a post similar to this is the Getting Started thread but haven't had any responses so I'm going to ask an updated version of my question. What I need to do is run a job after a user clicks a button in my ASP page. I know I can use oDBConnection.pStoredProc to run a stored procedure, but is there a similar command I can use to run the job? Any help will be appreciated. ThanksTim ConlanIntern
I want to be able to run a DTS package when a user clicks a button on a web page. The way I thought this could be done is by having a stored procedure linked to a web button which will run the DTS. This now does not appear possible (either that or I dont know how to set up an sp).
Does anyone know how to do this or another way of running DTS from a web page.
I am running a set of steps from within a SQL Server Job. The very last step is to execute a Visual FoxPro EXE. I am using something like:
'D:My DirectorySubDirmyapplication.exe'
as the last step of the job (replace single-quotes with double-quotes in the line above). The job, upon reaching this step, does not continue any further. It does not report a failure, but the EXE does not execute. I have to manually stop the job. I am writing to a status.txt from within the VFP EXE to see how far it has progressed, but the EXE does not even reach line 1.
I replaced the exe with a system command (like dir > status.txt) and that works. Is there some sort of problem with VFP apps and SQL Server?
