SQL Server 2008 :: SSMS Truncating PowerShell Output?
Jun 3, 2015
When I execute the following command, I get the output truncated to 79 characters, including three dots (as an ellipsis, I suppose).
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'powershell.exe "Get-ChildItem D:Databazepaleontologieprilohyverejneg -filter g417*.* -recurse | select Fullname | out-string -width 255"'When I execute the core command directly in Powershell, whether the text or ISE version, it works correctly, with or without the out-string -width command.
Get-ChildItem D:Databazepaleontologieprilohyverejneg -filter g417*.* -recurse | select Fullname | out-string -width 255What does it take to get SSMS to not truncate my output strings?
I want to run a powershell script using xp_cmdshell, put the results into a temp table and do some additional stuff.I'm using:
CREATE TABLE #DrvLetter ( iid int identity(1,1) primary key ,Laufwerk char(500), ) INSERT INTO #DrvLetter EXEC xp_cmdshell 'powershell.exe -noprofile -command "gwmi -Class win32_volume | ft capacity, freespace, caption -a"' select * from #DrvLetter SQL server is cutting off the output, what I get is (consider the 3 dots at the end of a line):
I have a new problem with doing a restore of a number of databases using powershell. The script I'm using is based mainly on this one (Part 2 in particular): [URL] .....
The problem I'm having is around the RedgateGetDatabaseName function. My hunch is that its down to the different version of red gate and how sqlbackup works. Basically when the call is made to the function it is returning both the Database Name and the number of row's that the SQL command in the function has ran. I've tried to include a SET NOCOUNT ON at the start of the SQL command in the function but its still returning the now count.
I am trying to create a job using power-shell script to move the backup files from one folder to another. I am using Ola Hallengren script for backups. Ola hallengren created a common backup folder with sub-folders for databases and even more sub folders for Full and Log backups. My goal is to move full backups, which are older than a month and save them in a different drive along with the same folder structure. I was able to move the first set of backups without any problem, but I can't move anymore files and keep getting this error even when I try to overwrite the previous file with the force statement:
Move-Item : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
The value of one of the columns in my table is 14000 lines(678913 characters). The datatype of that column is varchar(MAX). I am doing the following select query but its truncating the results.
select value -- this is truncating the text. from dbo.GUISETTINGS
The length is shown as below when I do the query:
SELECT DATALENGTH(VALUE) from dbo.GUISETTINGS -- return 707951 as the length.
I even tried running the query below but still the value is getting truncated. However, if I right-click and select "Save Results As" a file, then it shows all the lines/characters fine.
select value, cast(value as text), cast(value as varchar(max)) from dbo.GUISETTINGS
If you write a query that outputs XML, you'll have a long string in the Results window/tab that is also a link. Clicking on this link opens a new tab in SSMS with the formatted XML string easier to read.
My issue is that clicking on the link opens the "formatted XML string" tab ON THE SAME tab as my code and no way to go back to my code after that ... I need to reload the query from disk, if saved, to erase the "formatted XML" window.
I have to set up log shipping from Prod server "A" to 2 different DR servers ("B" and "C")...What do i have to do differently (or additional) using the GUI (ie not using Tsql Scripts) to accomplish this, in addition to the steps that are done to log ship to just one DR server?
On a windows 2003 server R2 x64, i had the Framework.net 3.5, Sql Server 2005 express (instance s423553 on NT SERVICENetwork) and Visual Web Developper 2008.
I installed Sql Server Express 2008 Express (install .SQLexpress with the local account sqlserv10). The first time (with the account NTSERVICENetwork), it failed. I uninstalled it and Sql Server Management Studio 2005. The second time, the install end properly. But, can't find SSMS. On a MsSql2008 microsoft page, i've found a link for SSMS 2005. So i installed it.
But, on this server, Sql Server Management Studio Express 2005 does not work with Sql Server 2008. I tried to use the 2008 Instance with Visual Web Developper 2008 but it didn't work (only compatible with sql server 2000, 2005....).
I have a specific requirement. I need to insert the DML statements executed from Management Studio into a SQL table. We have SQL Server 2008 R2 and 2012 instances.
is there a way to see the data of a table variable in the SSMS debugger? For example, if I set a breakpoint in SSMS and look at a populated table variable named @MyTable in the Locals tab at the bottom of the IDE, a value of "(table)" is displayed. There does not appear to be a way to expand or drill into this variable in the debugger to see the data. Do you know if there's a way to do this through the debugger or do you use an alternate approach when using the SSMS debugger?
SQL Server 2012 Replication. The command prompt instance of the replication is being run as the same user as the SSMS "version" using the runas option. With SSMS the error is that the client is missing a privilege. There is no error when it runs from the command prompt. All runs well.
We have reinstalled the replication feature.We have gone through several MSDN articles that indicate exactly what privileges (both within the DB and in Windows) that service account should have. None have worked Incidentally, when I create a new publication and indicate that the SQL Server Agent be used , the publication runs.
Because of a performance problem, somebody has given me a script which came from a SSRS report.
The code as supplied does not work when multivalued parameters are used.
Testing/tuning/building in SSMS is far superiour than in SSRS. So that's why I like to use SSRS for building the code/script/sql-statement. Offcourse parameters have to be set correctly. (That is no problem). Splitting of the multivalued parameter is not a problem either.
When I go to open a file in SSMS, the Open File dialog box appears. In the left side of that box, there is a panel containing shortcuts to various locations: Desktop, My Projects, and My Computer. I would like to add some shortcuts to folder that I use in this area, but I haven't been able to figure out how. how to do this?
I'm trying to quantify the number of times folks use SQL Server Management Studio to change client data in one of our production databases. Does SQL Server keep this statistic? How do I get to this data?
In SSMS, when editing a step in a SQL Agent job, on the Advanced screen for a step there is a button called View by the Output File. How do you get that to be enabled? It's always disabled for me and I wish I could view the file right from the job. This is something I miss from 2000. However, the button is there so I would think that I am just doing something wrong.
While working on a forum posting on this site, I came up with this code:
WITH JoinedTables(UserGroup, UserName) as ( SELECT 'UG1', 'Tom' UNION All SELECT 'UG1', 'Harry' UNION all SELECT 'UG2', 'Albert' UNION all SELECT 'UG3', 'Jim' UNION all SELECT 'UG3', 'Sam' ) SELECT UserGroup "@name" , (SELECT UserName "User" FROM JoinedTables T2 Where t2.UserGroup = t1.UserGroup FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE) FROM (SELECT DISTINCT UserGroup FROM JoinedTables) t1 FOR XML PATH('UserGroup'), ROOT('UserGroupsInfo')
The code does what I want but SSMS seems to have problems with the results. Every so often, if I click on the results, instead of opening a tab showing the XML, SSMS crashes.
When I save my output (from a query I ran) to a text file, there seems to be rows of spaces. Is there a way i can just kill off any spaces at the end of my query? Like rtrim or something?
I have to set up archiving of some pretty large tables (125M+ rows) and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it.
I've been using OUTPUT into, something like this:
delete top (100000) a output deleted.RecordID into dbo.RecordsArchive (RecordID) from dbo.Records
It's difficult to tell if it sub-optimal code or just sheer volume, but any performance penalty using OUTPUT into in this way? or is it advantageous to insert the records to the archive first, and then delete them in two separate operations?
How to get the result similar to Ex2, instead of Ex1. (ie., case-number is in sequential order then no need to break), And it should suit large dataset, I will finetune, if any performance issue.
insert into Test123 values(1,'Name','X') insert into Test123 values(1,'Age',50) insert into Test123 values(1,'Salary',1000) insert into Test123 values(2,'Name','Y') insert into Test123 values(2,'Age',30) insert into Test123 values(2,'Salary',2000) insert into Test123 values(3,'Name','Z') insert into Test123 values(3,'Age',35) insert into Test123 values(3,'Salary','One Hundred')
And I want output in below format.
AttributeValueType ================= AGE | NUMERIC NAME | ALPHABET SALARY | ALPHANUMERIC ==================
I am running sql script inside job.But sql is not saving the results in the file which i specified('Unable to open Step output file'). I tried same thing on different server, it works fine.Both are are 2008 R2.Is there any server level setting that i have to look at.On both servers i logged in as sal. Why is it working on server1 ,but not on server2?

Looking at an execution plan today I noticed something I've not seen before. The plan includes a non clustered index seek, followed by a RID lookup on the heap. The output list for the index seek contains the expected "Bmk" column (in this case "Bmk1473"), but also includes "IsBaseRow1475". This isn't a column from the table.
I have the following code below where I need to have all of the query results output into a .csv file to use in a VBA macro. The issue I am running into is that the data is not deliminating correctly and my rows are being shifted incorrectly. Any better way of out putting the results into a .csv file with a common delimiter.
Output from query (please post in a text editor. The line starting with (only ) should be on line 1 after 20 pks and is shifted to a new line.):

I have a dynamic sql which uses Pivot and returns "technically" variable no. of columns.
Is there a way to store the dynamic sql's output in to a temp table? I don't want to create a temp table with the structure of the output and limit no. of columns hence changing the SP every time I get new Pivot column!!
