I have inherited a project from a co-worker who has had a family tradegy, and I am trying to get up to speed with her project.
We have an SQL server 7 database which is getting backed up every night (by SQL itself) into a .BAK file. I need to know if it is possible to restore this file from the command line (a DOS prompt.) I know (or think I know) how to do it from within SQL Enterprise Manager, however the specific needs of this project require it be done from a command line on the machine.
I really am not an SQL guru...I don't even think I qualify as "knowing what I am doing" at all, so any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated. This is kind og urgent, so your thoughts are welcome!

Using Query Analyzer, I can right click on an object and select "scriptobject to new window as create" and I get the text of the object'sdefinition (schema). Can I get same result from command line, i.e., fromosql, I can get text output for the definition of the object (something likedefncopy under Sybase)? If so, what is the command or store procedure name?Thanks in advance.
hi I would appreciate if someone demonstrate how to automate ftp in a command line from within a batch file. I do want to move certain files from one server to another via ftp command line in an automatic fashion via running the batch periodically.
I use a similar command below to insert into a temp table the result of a large command line call to an exectable with many parameters passed in the command of which the result passed back contains many items. I then parse the response string to get my results...
set @command = 'dir' insert into tsverisign(response) exec master..xp_cmdshell @command
My question is our can I insert two values at the same time to this same table one of which is my "exec master..xp_cmdshell @command"
similar to insert into tables (field_a, feild_b) values ('1','2')
Something like (and I know this does not work):
insert into tsverisign(response,trans_id) values (exec master..xp_cmdshell @command, '123')
Any help would be greatly appreciated .... PS I'm new to MS SQL 2000 and proper syntax etc. etc. so I need full example so I can try. :rolleyes:
I was given a task of coming up with the script to recreate an existing database using a command line. I would use this script in case when the server is down and I can't get to Query Analyzer or EM to recreate it. I am not sure where to start. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
I am trying to create an quiet install for SQL Server Express. The install is being run under a local administrators account. However, when a user, who is only in the local users group, accesses the application using ClickOnce deplolyment, it says SQL Server Express Edition is not installed.
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard and upgrade from Express edition. The Edition Change check tells me I must run the setup from the command prompt "and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter", but I don't know how to enter this from the command line.
I've tried "D:setup SKUUPGRADE=1" and "D:setup -SKUUPGRADE=1", as well as "D:setup.exe /SKUUPGRADE=1" without success.
Can anyone give me a clue as to where I'm going wrong?

Does any know of a technique to filter out headers dashes and row count in an output file of an isql result? These switches seem to be available when running as isql/w, but not the command line. The -h-1 argument for no headers had no effect. Thanks in advance. Ron Hurley

I currently have a problem where I need to create a backup from MSSQL, via a command line, ideally from a batch script. This is on a PC. Each machine has SQL Server 2000 on.
I just need to know the code that dos will tell it to run the sql statement. Ideally the command will also give the directory to place the backup.
I want to import a huge .csv file in my sql server database.
There are about 10000 rows and 30 columns
My file looks like this: Attributname1; Attributname2; Attributname3; ... data; data; data;... data; data; data;... data; data; data;...
Now my idea is to do this on the command line/batch script. I have found different ways to do this job but the problem is i have to create a table in the database first. The entries in the first line of the csv file are the attribute names.
After creating the table with attributes i must write the data in the database.
Hello,I would like to know whether it is possible to execute DTS(Data Transformation Services) packages created from withinthe EM (Enterprise Manager) user interface, from the commandline. That is, is it possible to execute a command at the DOSprompt which will execute, and optionally also reconfigure,the DTS package? This would allow invoking DTS packagesfrom within scripts.Thank you for your replies,Neil
