SQL 7 Restore From Command Line (URGENT)

Jul 10, 2002

Hey Folks,

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!

Thanks!

Mike

URGENT: Can't Run BCP Via Command Line

Jun 13, 2000

hi: I can't seem to run BCP thru the command line.

bcp pubs..authors out c:authors.txt -c -Usa -P

error:
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Server Y47SA, Procedure , Line 1
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near'.'.

I've been trying to run BCP thru command line all day. I tried OSQL, ISQL. I find this utility very
frustrating. btw - I have installed SP2.

any thoughts would be much appreciated.
TIA
deanna
