SQL Server Automated Configuration?
May 22, 2008
We have numerous instances of SQL Server 2005 that are being deployed to out enterprise. For each of these instances someone must connect to the server and perform a series of configuration steps in order for things to function correctly for our particular environment. The server OS is Win2003.
I've been tasked to provide a solution to automate this process, it was suggested perhaps that I write some macro or similiar type of script to make this happen. I'm really just looking for some hints as to where I might begin to research this and relaize that I'm trying to do might not be specific to SQL Server but rather more closely related to Windows macros, but thought I would start here in case anyone knows of a different approach specific for SQL Server.

I have just finished installing SQL 2005 Ent Edition on Win 2000 Adv Server, SQL2005 SP2, and SP2 Hotfix KB934458. After the installation, I could see and configure all services via SQL Configuration Manager and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tools. This worked for a couple of days and now both configuration tools no longer detect SQL2005 components. SQL Server Surface Area Configuration issued an error that said "No SQL Server 2005 components were found on specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLAC)". SQL Configuration Manager did not list any installed services. I don€™t know what caused this. Anyone has any idea? Please help! Below is the Installation Report which shows installed components.

Hi, folks. I'm fairly new to SQL Server, so forgive any stupidityinherent in this question. I work at a university and a certainfaculty member would like to have her students create a simple auctionweb site as an exercise. As part of the assignment, she wants theauction site to be able to send an email to a bidder when they havebeen outbid.So she has asked me if this is possible, and how to do it. I've read abit about sending an automated email from SQL Server, but I can't findanything about how to trigger the email based upon a field comparisonin the database. I also don't know how to incorporate a field value asa variable into the body of the email.Of course, I don't expect anyone to solve my entire problem in thisforum. I was just hoping that someone could point me in the rightdirection. Can anyone give me any advice about where I should belooking for such info? Can you recommend a web page, or some otherreference material? Is there a specific terminology I should be usingwhen I search? I just don't seem to be able to find what I need.Please reply to Join Bytes! -- I don't read newsgroups regularly.Many thanks in advance!--Sue

I am working on a automated install (simulated with a batch file first) and I am having issues when I trying to install SQL2005dev, then SP1 and then the hotfixes. The main issue is SP1 returns to the batch file while it is still running.
Does anyone know how to silently run SP1 and make it wait until after it is installed to continue (on to the hotfixes)?
Example batch file:
"SQLDEVSELSQL Server x86Serverssetup.exe" LOGNAME=C:setupsetup.cab /settings %temp%sqldevsel_1.ini /qb
"sp1SQLServer2005SP1-KB913090-x86-ENU.exe" /quiet /allinstances /norestart

thanks in advance Dave
Background:
SQL Package Configurations are most important because they provide the possibility of a central configuration store for your entire enterprise!!!!!!!! and is in my mind the only way to go

Wizard results:

It seems to me, that the best way is to have one Environment Varible containing the name of the SQL Server, so that you can look up the configuration in the SSIS Configuration Table when you run the package.
Is this the preferable way of doing it ? I would like to hear some positive/negative comment of why chosing a configuration type instead of another.
It seems to me that putting all of the configuration in the Environment variable is harder work but most secure (server breakdown vs table corruption/database error...)
Let's have some comments

Hi. I am using SQL 7.0.
Here is the situation... there are random (.csv) files being dropped into a specific directory on a daily basis. Is it possible to have SQL server automatically pick up this file and run it through the Import/Export data option so that it creates a SQL table from the original data? I need this whole sequence to be automated. Is this possible? Somebody please help... I will appreciate it greatly. Thanks a lot!

I am trying to automate the installation process of our Help
Desk software `Expert Advisor`. It uses a MS SQL Server 6.5
database. I can figure out the automation of Expert Advisor,
but is it possible to automate the installation of the
SQL drivers for each workstation? I don`t want or need any of the
utilities such as ISQL/w installed along with the driver--just the
SQL driver itself. Is there a runtime version of the database I should
use? I`m fairly new to SQL so please forgive me if I seem naive.
Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know what happened on that first thread, but here it is again.
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I have set up a .bat file to automatically export all of my server logs to a directory on my SQL server. From there I am trying to import those files into an event_log table that I have set up. (from there I am going to use Cold Fusion to parse the table each day and e-mail me with anything I should look at) The estimated ROI for my company is roughly $14.5k, it's easy so if you don't already have an error log monitoring solution, check this out!
Anyway I tried to use BCP in my .bat file but it keeps coming back with an unexpected end of file error.
Can I get some help with either:
1. Find a command line tool to import these .txt files with
-or-
2. Help me with the BCP issue?
Thanks in advance.

I am an intern at a university and we are looking for a way to automatically document tables, queries, etc. ColdFusion is the platform used, and SQL Server 2000. Is there a way to have the documentation performed that will capture tables, constraints, etc.? I have found some, but so far, none are working. Please help if you can!!! :confused:

Hi,
I have 2 databases, one called "ManagementDB" and the other called "ManagementDBYesterday".
Basically I get asked very frequently to look at yesterdays data for various reasons and I thought it'd be a good idea to always have yesterdays data to hand instead of restoring all the time.
I have tried DTS but this takes too long, I've also thought of replication however the database is modified too frequently for this to be easliy implemented.
Restoring from a backup is quite quick so I thought if I could somehow automate this, I'd have a readily available copy of yesterdays data to hand.
I have a mon-sun daily backup so I need to write some SQL script to restore from the correct backup to the "yesterday" database.
I've only used restore via the enterprise manager and I was wondering if anyone here could help.
kind regards,
Mike,

I have a customer who insists on emailing an excel spreadsheet to me to be uploaded to a sql database. I came across a script at one point that laid out how I would script this out. Basically it was in parts, 1. open email program and get attachment. 2.After saving attachment closing email program in order to be used the next day or next time an attachment was sent. 3. import the attached spreadsheet into SQL database. I would also like to be able to schedule this to run with the built in Windows 2000 scheduler.
Can anyone help me out on this one??
Thanks,
Will

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new in SQL Server and trying to build up a BI Solution for my firm. We have got monthly data about revenue headcounts and so, which should be integrated into a DW.
I was wondering whether there is an automated way to import this csv data in SQL like in a batch, because the users are not familiar with SQL Server at all. The structure of the data will be the same all the time, since it comes from legacy systems.
YOur help would be highly appriciated:)

Hello,
I have a problem with an integration services project of SQL server 2005. I have a text file with various data, which can be read out easily with a dataflow task and a flat file source. The data shall be transferred into a target database which I developed according to a star pattern. The fact table can be generated automatically if and only if all data belonging to a dimension table is inserted by myself. Of course, this procedure is not reasonable while having a vast amount of data. That is the reason why I want to generate the dimension tables automatically, too. A dimension is build e.g. like this: ApplicationID | ApplicationName. So, only two columns are available. But I don't know how to insert an automated ID.
I would be thankful for any help.M-l-G

We have automated the process of backing up and restoring the databases. But the problem is One database is restoring from several hrs ..though it is supposed to take only a few mins. So there is some issue with it and I want to find out how I can stop the restoring process.
Its not a command am running in query analyser or Enterprise manager, but its automated so i cant see the command to stop it.
Any ideas?

I need to create an Automated DTS package. At present I am running it manually each morning to import our phone switch data to an SQL table. The reason I had to go this route is this.
Because the Access tables are locked, I have a System DSN that connects to the System.mda file, this in turn gives me access to the locked tables to extract the data I need into Excel. I then drop the existing SQL table and run the DTS package recreating the SQL table with the data from the Excel file. I do not want to use OLEDB to connect to the Access table from within my application because it changes each month and of course the traffic load, I have as many 150 clients hitting the DB at one time.
I actually need the DTS package to update the SQL table with the latest data.
I'm no DTS guru, so how can I do this automagically?

Here's my process:
1. I have a form where someone enters certain criteria for some data…
2. The form than populates a record in a table with all the criteria…
3. I create a query based on the selected criteria for exporting…
How can I automate the process (maybe using DTS) where SQL server will automatically export the data for me using a stor proc? Create a file, populate the file etc…. or will I need to create an external App to do this?

How do I go about removing this task?
Whenever I go to the same menu item again, it just starts over .. like I don't have the task already setup.
In general, how do you remove automated tasks?

I wish to select processes from sysprocess that are SLEEPING and more than a certain time old (say 10 minutes) so that I may KILL them. I can get the query to do the select, but how do I KILL the process? I have tried selecting the SPID into a local variable and then trying KILL @var_name, but I get "Incorrect syntax near '@var_name'".
I have tried all of the resources that I can find, but without success. Is this possible? If so, how do I go about doing it?

I'm looking for a bit of advice about the best way to make automatic remote backups of a MS SQL server.
I currently run a dedicated windows 2003 standard server that i have complete control over, but my databases are hosted on a shared machine that i have no control on.
Is there a way to automate backups from the SQL database onto the windows machine?
Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated!
