I have a query I`d like to run using the isql command utility. The query works correctly and the output can be sent to a local file with no problem. When I try to designate a network location as an output file (e.g. abcdefgfile.txt), though, I get an error message "No such file or directory."
Is it possible to send SQL output to a remote location?
TIA!

Hello,
I am running a stored procedure thru' isql.
This returns only one field.
The sp is executed fine but if the data has length greater than 255 the data is truncated.
How do u capture the full output ?
Thanks In Advance

:rolleyes:
I am trying to use a command line program to run a stored procedurethat generates output in a comma-delimitted format. Somehow, ISQL orOSQL always wrap the lines at 256 characters. I believe this hassomething to do with the column width switch (-w). But enlarging thecolumn width to 800 characters max still doesn't help. The followingis a stored procedure that is essentially doing what my storedprocedure is doing:create procedure MyTest asset ansi_padding onset nocount ondeclare @sTest varchar(300)-- Output three lines. Each line has 259 characters.select @sTest = "1234 6789 ... 1234 6789"print @sTestselect @sTest = "1 3 5 7 9 ... 1 3 5 7 9"print @sTestselect @sTest = "1 3 5 7 9 ... 1 3 5 7 9"print @sTestset nocount offreturn( 0 )I invoke this stored procedure using this command:isql -SMyDbSrv -E -dMyDb -w800 -x800 -h-1 -n -Q"exec MyTest"-oMyTest.txt-- or --osql -SMyDbSrv -E -dMyDb -w800 -h-1 -n -Q"exec MyTest" -oMyTest.txtBut they have the same problem. The output lines all wrap around at256 characters.Strangely, if I store the result in a temporary table, and then useSELECT to output the result from the temporary table, I will not havethat problem. Seem like the "-w" switch only works for output fromtables, but not for output coming from PRINT. Unfortunately, usingthis approach has another set of problems (one blank space in front ofeach line, "number-of-rows affected" shows up at the bottom).Therefore, I would like to stick with using PRINT statements to outputthe result.Please suggest a way to fix this line-wrapping-around problem.Thanks.Jay Chan

Hi,
I would really appreciate help with this query.
I have an SQL 2000 server setup with 2 databases. My boss would like to setup another database but wants the actual database to reside on a different server share.
Is is possible for one database on an SQL server to be hosted on a remote share ?
appreicate any info
thanks
I am developing a package to restore a database from backup file on a remote server. I am having problems accessing the remote backup file when it is addressed via the admin share, in this case N$. It runs okay if a specific share is created but for some unknown reason fails via the adminshare.
I am executing the package job with a proxy account that is a member of the local administrators group on the remote server.
It appears that access via a remote admin share isn't possible from within a SSIS package. Is this the case?
HI,
I have a small problem with SQL server 7.0 where I have to write the output of a query directly to a file without the user going to the menu and clicking on save. Scenario is:
A file is having a query the results of which has to be outputted to a file like in oracle where we have spooling function. Is there any functionality that mimic the oracle functionality where by I can get the output directly to a file?
thanks for your help in advance.
thanks,

Is there a way of running an OS command via xp_cmdshell and sending the results to a spreadsheet within a DTS package ?.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following issue with Maintenance plan backups that work for BAK DIF and TRN to a remote server share.
When I try and remove the old files with a clean up task I get an error and the files don't get deleted.
The version is as follows
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3054.00 (X64) Mar 23 2007 18:41:50
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on
Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
The error result is as follows,
Failed-1073548784) Executing the query "EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file
0,N'\\EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'\ABCD-A1\BACKUPS\ABCD_BACKUP\ABC_DAILY\ABCD',N'trn',N'2008-01-13T12:52:49'" failed with the following error: "xp_delete_file() returned error 2, 'The
system cannot find the file specified.'". Possible failure reasons: Problems
with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set
correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The maintenance plan seems to be adding extra "" though when i enter the
code directly in a query i get same error.
Query:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'\ABCD-A1BACKUPSABCD_BACKUPABC_DAILYABCD',N'trn',N'2008-01-13T12:52:49'
Error:
xp_delete_file() returned error 2, 'The system cannot find the file specified.'
The servers belong to the same domain and are using the same Service account which has all the necessary rights to the share and the file directory location. The backups work but i get the error on the cleanup task.
Trying to figure out how to get the Cleanup task to delete old files. The same happens for all file extensions and I have tried other locations with simpler file paths same error.

Scott
I've written a DTS transaction that I would like to schedule as a job. I don't want it to run if there is nothing to send.
I this example below on another website and have changed the connection string to reflect my settings. The password has been stared out for security reasons. It's not the way it actually appears in the script. This keeps erroring out on line 21 saying expected end of statement.
I'm sure I'm missing something small and would really like to get this done tomorrow before I leave for the weekend. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,Im running into a strange problem here!I have created a linked server on one of my SQL Servers (local server).Lets call the linked server as LS1.I have an sproc which resides on the remote server(LS1) and uses a FORXML query.On running this sproc from my local server using linked server LS1, Iget a strange serialized data as output instead of the usual XMLoutput.I run the proc asexec [LS1].[DBName].[UserName].[SprocName] '12/1/2004','12/3/2004'the proc accepts 2 parameters as dates.The output generated is smth like:0x44046E0061006D0065004404440061.......(long string of hex codes)Looks like the ouput is getting serialized. How can I avoidserialization OR How to de-serialize this data?Please HelpThanks,Geo
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm calling a procedure on a remote Server (local SQL2005, remote SQL2005) and I need the return value.

declare @value int execute ('exec mbtest1.dbo.psybcis ?', @value OUTPUT) at [REMOTESQLSERVER] select @value
Remote:
create procedure [dbo].[psybcis] (@value int OUTPUT) as begin select @value = '13' end
I do not get a value in the OUTPUT variable - just NULL. Documentation says:
Execute a pass-through command against a linked server

There is an OUTPUT parameter, but how does it work? Is my syntax wrong?
It works when using following syntax,
declare @value int exec [REMOTESQLSERVER].mbtest1.dbo.psybcis @value OUTPUT select @value
but I need to use this procedure call in a distributed transaction to a Sybase ASE server and this syntax is not allowed for cross-system-calls.
So first I want to get it work from SQL2005 to SQL2005.

When I am running an SQL query on a SQL server DB from ISQL the results are returning a space in front of every row, plus it is returning the number of rows effected at the bottom. When I run the query without ISQL the results come back without the space in front of every row, but it does come back with the number of rows effected. I need the spaces reomed and the number of rows removed. Here is an example of the ISQL.
ISQL.EXE /U????? /P?????? /n /d????? /h-1 /w 218 /S????? /i????? /o?????
Are ther any arguments to help remove the preceding space and the trailing footer?
Here is a copy of the SQL
select CONVERT(char(49),i.item_number),CONVERT(char(17),s um(s.actual_qty)),CONVERT(char(19),"WMS"),
CONVERT(char(2),DATEPART(month,GETDATE())) + '/' + CONVERT(char(2),DATEPART(day,GETDATE())) + '/' + CONVERT(char(4),DATEPART(year,GETDATE())) + CONVERT(char(109),''),
CONVERT(char(8),"01:00:00") from t_stored_item s, t_item_master i, t_location l
where i.c5 = 'FVM' and
i.item_number = s.item_number and
l.location_id = s.location_id and
l.location_id like 'V-%'
group by i.item_number
order by i.item_number

I'm running isql from a dos batch file and the isql command is below:

Hi,
I would like to pass parameters from isql command line to an input query file. I am working on SQL Server 7.0. How can I accomplish this?
My eg. is like this:
> isql.exe (all the server options etc.,) /iInputfile /oOutput file
I need the output depend on the query given in the input file with the query depending on the parameter I supply on the command line.Thanks for your help in advance.
thanks,
Sravan.
Hi,
I have an input file which contains a simple select query. I want to output the results of the query to an output file. I use the following query:
DECLARE @sTemp1 Varchar(100)
SELECT @sTemp1 = "isql -d TestDB /U sa /P SAPassword -n /i C:QRYIn.txt > C:QRYOut.txt"
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sTemp1
The problem is that this query looks for the C: drive on the SERVER not on my local machine. C:QRYIn.txt exists on my machine so this does not work. However if I create a C:QRY folder on the SERVER the whole thing works.
Basically I want this query to go to execute the In.txt query from my local machine as opposed to the SERVER.
Gurus,
For some reason the INPUT REDIRECTION of FTP commands from a file does not work when executed from a ISQL session.
"ftp -i -n host_name <serverstare_dirFTP-commands.dat >serverstare_dirFTP-errors.dat " would not work. It gives me an error message - "The handle could not be opened during redirection of handle 0 "
How ever it works from COMMAND prompt and BAT files.
I changed it use "-s:" option instead of INPUT REDIRECTION and it works just fine every where... The command I used is
"ftp -i -n -s:serverstare_dirFTP-commands.dat host_name >serverstare_dirFTP-errors.dat "
I still could not figure out why INPUT REDIRECTION would not work from ISQL only.
any ideas !!!!!!!!
Thanks,

I am writing a trigger that I want to call a BAT file when there is an insert or update to a paricular table, but don't know the code to that will execute my BAT file.
To reitrate, when a row is inserted, I want to automatically start a particular EXE that our developers created to process rows written into this table.
My BAT that currently runs OK from the Command line is : CBBOP.BAT
-----------------
@echo
"d:program filescabs2000CBBOP.exe" /cabsit /password 2,2,time
-----------------
But what I need to know is the SQL that will run my CBBOP.BAT, and I will code it into my trigger.
Cheers

I have copied a script from the web that allows me to run scripts from a file over multiple databases(have attached file). Now everything works fine on my local SQL server but when I try to run it on my web server I get this msg
''isql' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'
I have tried to use the full path to the isql.exe file but still get the msg
Thats about as much info I can provide, my understanding of this is very slight
ISQL.EXE hangs during installation. In task manager, when I end task on ISQL.EXE the installation continues, but msdb comes up suspect. Can someone please help me.
