I need the file created by my BCP QUERYOUT command I'm executing from XP_CmdShell in Transact-SQL to have a specific OWNER. I've tried using the sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account to setup the correct owner. The owner is always SERVERNAMEAdministrators.
thanks,
jim
some one can tell if i can make a "where" clause inside the BCP , when i say : select * FROM tbl where flag=N , usually the where flag='N' works with the ' ' , but it gives no error when save the store procedure without it ' ' saves nicely the SP,
but
like this it saves well "SELECT * FROM tbl where flag=N" and
when i execute it, give a sql statement error "Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Invalid column name N."
i dont now , any help
PS: perhaps at the end of the BCP ---> -c -T , must have some more or less

Hi,
I need to run a batch file in xp_cmdshell. The problem is that the batch will start a program that does not get back to c: prompt, and until it does xp_cmdshell does not return control. Is there anyway I can start that problem and get the control back to do other things? I tried using START /SEPARATE command in DOS, but it does not help.
Thanks,

My SSIS package carries out one data flow task after another e.g.
truncate tables
Copy table 1
cleanup tables
When using the execute package utility in SSMS to run the package , the data flow tasks are listed alphabetically, so it reads:
cleanup tables
Copy table 1
truncate tables
Can I change this so the data flow tasks are listed in the logical order I have specified them in the package as it makes it difficult to work out which step the package is at. And while I'm at it, it keeps telling me every separate task's elapsed time is zero when it's finished. It records the start and end time ok, but it can't seem to work out the elapsed time?!
Thanks
I created a package within BIDS which tests successful. However when saved into MSDB and I execute the package, the package completes without any issues however doesn't work.
All the package is doing is a simple backup and copy operation but fails without any errors within the Execute Package Utility.
Has anyone seen this issue before?
Hi all,
my PKG have a variable "strI"D and have a value like 'ABC'.
When execute the PKG from utility I can set dinamicaly the new value for that variable...but this action overwrite that one in the pkg or the value set in the PKG always is last choose.
I got a trouble if the variable value must be empy for dinamic set from execution utility...or if it isn't dinamic set is failure.
Thanks, Alen
Can anyone help me please.
Healp please.
Does anybody know how to make xp cmdshell runnable for users other than Admin. It should be possible to grant execute to others, but i can't figure out how.
This is what i found:
Be aware that when you grant execute permission for xp_cmdshell to users, the users will be able to execute any operating-system command at the Windows NT command shell that the account running SQL Server (typically local system) has privilege to execute.
To restrict xp_cmdshell access to users who have administrator permission on the Windows NT-based computer where SQL Server is running, use SQL Setup or SQL Enterprise Manager to set the server options, selecting the "xp_cmdshell - Impersonates Client" option. With this option selected, only users who have connected to SQL Server via a trusted connection and are members of the local Administrators group on that computer are allowed to use xp_cmdshell. The commands run by xp_cmdshell continue to execute in the server's security context.
Hi all,
I have to execute stored procedures containing
xp_cmdshell and certain system storedprocedures in msdb and master
with a user who is not SA.
(i.e iam able to execute stored procedures when i log as sa,
but any other user cannot run them)
Pls tell how to do this, it is quite urgent.
I'm a SQL Server 2000 user trying to get my head around v2005, in particular the changes from DTS to Integration Services.
I've build a few packages in BIDS and they work fine there, but saving them to either the file system or MSDB locations and running them in Management Studio results in:
Execute Package Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If I click on the debug button, I get this:
An unhandled exception ('System.IO.FileNotFoundException') occurred in DTExecUI.exe [404].
I've searched the Internet and found a few people who has also experienced this, but not received any answers.
Is there a kind guru out there with some idea of what is going on? Preferably something that doesn't involve re-installing, because the database has already been configured for our Blackberry users and I can't re-do it now.
Hi, I want to execute BCP in Query Analyser in SQL Server 2005 Express for that i surf on net and find that i should execute BCP under xp_cmdShell, That works good for addministritative account on SQL. But i want the working will be done by a non administrative account or non 'sa' user.How can i assign a non sa User permissions to execute xp_cmdShell? or just tell me any other alternative way to run BCP in Query Analyser or code behined. thanx

In SQL Server using xp_cmdshell we can excute any of the command or executable files which can be executed in command prompt. Here my problem is that .. I am trying to execute OSQL from the MSSQL(Query Analyser) using xp_cmdshell.. but its give error saying "'osql' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
This error occours when it is not able to find the executable file... but same thing I am able to execute from the command prompt. So I feel this problem is some where related to the path setting of windows. If some one can solve this problem or sugesst the how to set the path for window it will be help full..
waiting for reply
I was trying to grant access for an application user for executing xp_cmdshell, but I got some error message saying that either doesn't the user exist, or I don't have the permissions to grant this. Does the user need to be a user in Master ? Or, don't I when logged in as "sa" have the sufficient permissions to grant execute on a SP in master?
I solved it by checking "Control server" under "Properties" > "Securables"
for the login, but I don't actually want this login to have full control.
(And yes, I've read that allowing xp_cmdshell usage isn't recommended at all.)
A developer needs to execute an SSIS package from a stored procedure and I do not want to enable xp_cmdshell on SQL 2005.
One suggestion is to have the application invoke dtexec on the client PC, but this would cause the package to be executed on the client and also requires some SSIS components be installed on each client.
Another idea is to configure a Windows Service to execute dtexec, but I do not know the risks of this approach. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Dave
How to execute SSIS package from CMD or using xp_cmdshell?
SSIS package is saved in the folder of the integration services Db.
Thanks in advance.
hi,
i need to start an external program (vb.net) from within a trigger. via xp_cmdshell everything works fine except that the execution of the trigger waits for the vb-program to finish.
now i tried a workaround with a "starter application" which only calls the vb.net program (asynchronous) an ends.
this works fine from a dos prompt (command prompt returns immediately and vb.net task is running). but when i call the starter app from the trigger with xp_cmdshell, the behavior is the same as before: execution does not continue until the vb.net task ends.
any other ideas that could solve my problem? submitting an agent-job is not fine for me because i need to supply parameters to the called program and maybe i need call it more than once at the same time.
thanks

Hi all.
I've previous posted a message with error building the expression of the dtexec.exe string. But now, the problem is other, and I've decided to create other threat.
Here is what I'm doing:
I've a SP that receives every parameter so I can build my dtexec.exe statement to be executed by a variable with something like this exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @CMD
Till now I have no problem executing it, not from a variable, but just with the statement itself, like this:
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'C:PROGRA~2MICROS~290DTSBINNDTEXEC.EXE /SQ PACKAGE /SET "Package.Variables[PERIOD].Value";20070101'.
But now, I have this SP that builds the string into a variable and then I just want to execute it throught the variable like this: exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @CMD.
When I make a SELECT @CMD just before the exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @CMD, so it prints the builded string, copy it and pasted to exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'copied string' it works fine. But the step of exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @CMD returns the error:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Why is this, if I copy the generated string and execute it by the other way it works fine, but executing the generated string throught the variable it gives me that error?
I have a periodic backup task, and when I need a development copy on which to test code, I restore my most recent backup to a different name, switch the ODBC link to that name on my development machine and have a current copy of the database to play with.
I've been doing this for years, and it works great. Just now I did it, and suddenly my development machine is unable to run any stored procedures that have the 'Execute as owner' clause in their definition. I'm using domain accounts, my personal account is the owner of the database, and everything works on the production copy, which is in the same instance on the same machine.
The test copy is identical to the production copy, which continues to work fine - it was just created using by restoring the backup of the production copy, but I can't run anything with this clause. As soon as I delete the 'Execute as owner' line, the procedure is suddenly available. If I put it back, I'm locked out again.
The error message is: The server principal “sa” is not able to access the database “WhateverDB” under the current security context
Hi,
I have SQL Server 2005 database, and have linked it with three SQL Server 2000 databases, and using Windows Authentication.
I'm using ASP.NET with my main database (SQL Native Client), which is authenticating to the linked databases with the computer hostname (DOMAINCOMPUTER$) credential, which is all working fine on all databases for doing SELECT queries.
However, now I'm trying to run a stored procedure on the linked databases. Two of the three databases are working flawlessly in this regard, but the third I'm getting the error: EXECUTE permission denied... I've checked the logs, and it's showing the connection as being trusted, and I've already added the execute permission for the stored procedure in question, but I'm not getting anywhere.
I have restarted the database server, but that hasn't helped any.
Thanks,

Hi, I have been searching for an answer to allow me to execute xp_cmdshell from withing store prcedure by calling the store procedure from an aspx via click on a button. This is what I found from my reserch but was not able to know where to set the rights and what each of them means:
"To run xp_cmdshell for a non-system administrator user, you must grant the following rights.
MSSQLServer and SQLServerAgent Services
Act as part of the Operating System.
Increase Quotas.
Replace a process level token.
Log on as a batch job."
The above quote was from the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;264155
The bottom line is to be able to call a store procedure from an aspx page to execute the code which contain xp_cmdshell command, an example of such command is like:
------------------------------------------------------------
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'dir d:BT_importDatasales_option_price_report.csv'

Hi all,
Criteria:
We connect to the remote database servers through the network from loca by using Query Analyzer.
Previously we were able to execute the xp_cmdshell command from local Query Analyzer to fetch the remote databases data.
But now we are unable to execute the xp_cmdshell command on remote databases from local Query Analyzer
We do not know what happened but i think due to network updates this command is not able to execute...
For ex:
Previously i was able to execute master..xp_cmdshell 'net start' from local Query Analyzer.But now not able to execute
Now my question is, is there any other way(Directly or indirectly) to execute the xp_cmdshell command on remote databases from local?
Note : we are able to execute this command on remote Query Analyzer but not from local QA
Any suggestions would be very very helpful to me?
Thanks in advance,

However, it runs fine when I double click the package and execute it using the Execute package utility. That really puzzles me.
The package transfers data from worksheets in excel to SQL Server 2005 DB.

Please advise.

Hi,I am having
some trouble copying data over my workgroup network from my Windows
2003 Server Machine (machineA with SQL SERVER 2005) to one of my
network Machine's drive(MachineB).Here is the T-SQL code that I am trying to execute:EXEC xp_cmdshell 'copy D:Datafile.txt \MachineBDocuments'Whenever
I tried to execute the above piece of code, I get the error message
"Access is denied", but if I try to copy the file from the Command
Prompt (cmd.exe) with the copy command, the file copies fine over the
network.I have already searched over the internet and I found
out that loads of people have the same issue, and they were suggested
something like this:"Check in Services and make sure that the MSSQLServer service is run as
a domain user and that domain user has rights to these network
resources."Well
it sounds plausible, but I don't know what are the exact steps to do
this. How do I know which user is running the MSSQL Server service? Are
they referring to the user which I use to connect to my SQL Server
Database engine throuhg the SQL Server Management Studio?Also they are suggesting 'domain user', and as I said before I do not have domain network just regular simple workgroup network.Here
are some details of the user that I use to login. I generally login
into my Windows 2003 Server machine with user called 'User1' and I use
the same 'User1' to connect to SQL Server through the Management Studio
Screen.Should I create a user called 'User1' on my MachineB(Destination Machine)?I would really appreciate, if someone can give me detailed steps explaning how to solve this problem.Thank you very much once again.

Hi All,
I am having this issue with my application developed in VB.Net. The thing was working properly for the last couple of years. But suddenly it is giving me this error message when ever I try to execute the following code.
mycommand = New SqlCommand(sqlstr, SqlConnection1)
SqlConnection1.Open()
mycommand.ExecuteReader()
The operation is never related to sending e-mail and even the master Database, it is used just to display records on grid.
Here is the error message comeing out when it reaches the mycommand.ExecuteReader():
EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_startmail', database 'master', owner 'dbo'.
Any help?

I am trying to execute three dts packages from a Job that I created. When creating the steps I am setting the Type To: Operating System Command(CmdExec).
The Command I am using is: dtsrun /S servername /E /dtsPackageName
For some reason whenever I try to run thes jobs it fails. Within this Job I have three steps. For each step I am using the same job but with a different package name. I have a trusted connection so my command should work just fine. What am I doing wrong. Can some please explain this process.
Thanks
Below is a simplified table & dataset to illustrate a problem I'm experiencing with a more complex one.
Code Block
create table #test(
recno smallint PRIMARY KEY,
value decimal (18,2))
insert into #test values (1, 3.57)
insert into #test values (2, 5.32)
insert into #test values (3,6.29)
insert into #test values (4, 9.25)
insert into #test values (5, 0.84)
Method 1: I tried inserting rows from #test into a temp table (#table) as follows
Code Block
declare @n as nvarchar(3)
set @n = 1
while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test)
begin
exec ('
insert into ##table
select *,
originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+')
from #test'
)
set @n = @n + 1
end
However, this yields an error message:
Code Block
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Invalid object name '##table'.
Note - you can comment out the insert into ##table line above to view the results that I'm trying to put into ##table.
Method 2: next I tried explicitly creating ##table & rerunning the loop containing the insert
Code Block
create table ##table (
recno smallint,
value decimal (18,2),
originalrecno smallint)
declare @n as nvarchar(3)
set @n = 1
while @n <= (select count(recno) from #test)
begin
exec ('
insert into ##table
select *,
originalrecno = (select recno from #test where recno = '+@n+')
from #test'
)
set @n = @n + 1
end
This worked - it inserted the data from the select statements in the loop into ##table.
Question - why won't method 1 work?
