Hi
I found it a bit annoying to type Go after some very simple query and I wonder is there a short cut to execute the query i type right after I press enter?
1> select * from Table
2> go <enter>
instead, how to you execute line 1 without entering go?
Thank you
I cannot get SQLCMD to run. When I run it, it appears for a few seconds then dissappears. I tried running it in cmd and it says it cannot run because the default setting for SQL server does not allow remote connections. Please help.

Is there a way to do a select and it output in DOS mode...

Hello,
Does anyone know how to execute a stored procedure in a SQLCMD script? Here is what I have so far and it doesn't seem to be working...
:r $(rootPath)"Script.sql"
GO
exec sp_Proc
GO
Also,
Is there a way that I can pass the $(rootpath) as a parameter in my stored proc?
Thanks!
I am trying to backup/restore a sql db using sqlcmd. My question is, the box that I am trying to run sqlcmd on does not have SQL server 2005 installed, can I just copy SQLCMD.exe to the box instead of Installing it? if so, are there any other files that I need to copy as well?
I have another instance where I was trying to backup/restore a 2000 sql db and all I did was copy the osql.exe and resource files to the box and was able to run this command with out installing SQL server 2000. So, did something change with SQL serve 2005?
Thanks for any suggestions

Greetings all!
i am using the follownig sqlcmd command to output some data :
sqlcmd -E -S myServermyInstance -s "," -W -d myDB -Q " set nocount on select ltrim('""' + cast(PersonId as varchar) +
'-' + cast(DatabaseId as varchar) + '""') as 'URN-DBID','""' + EmailAddress + '""' as EmailAddress from myDB.dbo.myTable where
DTS > dateadd(dd, -7, getdate()) set nocount off " > "\tfsvrCompanyDatabase DevelopmentTestReports"myRecords-20080303.txt
The output looks something like this :
URN-DBID,EmailAddress
--------,------------
"5-1","blahblah@HOTMAIL.COM"
"264541-1","blahblah@HOTMAIL.COM"
"1107457-1","blahblah@HOTMAIL.COM"
"6133752-1","blahblah@HOTMAIL.COM"
Is it possible to keep the headnigs but remove the dashed line?
Your help would be much appreciated.

how can i change the view in sqlcmd?
such as changing the font or the window size so that a command such as sp_tables will list on one row rather than several. Also I would only like to see 10 records or so at the same time. Currently in default setting, if i run sp_tables I can really only view the last few records.
thanks!
I am working with SQL Express and found myself surprised when I tried to automate a backup... No Agent.
So I am trying to create a simple backup script to run from the command line and probably schedule through the scheduled task manager.
here is my problem. I get the following error :
Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Server FIREFLYSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure 'B'.
Here is the batch file
sqlcmd -i c: emp estDBbackup.sql -o c: emp estoutput.txt -S FIREFLYSQLEXPRESS
And here is the sql input file :
BACKUP DATABASE [DNNDEV] TO DISK = 'C: emp estdnndev.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = 'dnndev-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10;
If I put a USE statement in front of my backup statement - the error message changes to
Could not find stored procedure 'U'.
So it would appear to list the first character encountered.
As a sanity check I created a similar process which does a select * from a table and I do not get an error saying :Could not find stored procedure 'S'. - instead all is well and I get my output and no error
If I try the backup command in SQLCMD interactively it works.
so what the heck am I missing ?
Thank you for any help...
Dear profetionlas:
I cannot run sqlcmd in my computer but i can connect to my SQL Server2005 through SSIS
This is the error I see .
Please give me some recommandation
C:Documents and Settings est>sqlcmd
HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi
shing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu
re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I would like also metion that
1)windows firewall is off
2)All SQL server Services are running
3)This is my default instance also I have another named instance in the server
Just installed SQL Server 2005 Express along with the Management Studio. The Management Studio, at least what I've seen so far, seems to work fine. But when I type "sqlcmd" at the command prompt, I get "sqlcmd is not a recognized internal or external command, operable program or batch file." What gives???
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I'm trying to come up with a replacement for @@IDENTITY, because I have SQL code I want to make more portable.
Original:ID = MyDataLayer.Execute("INSERT INTO X(a,b,c) VALUES(A,B,C); SELECT @@IDENTITY")
Proposed solution:
lock(MyDataLayer)
ID = MyDataLayer.Execute("SELECT MAX(id)+1 FROM X")
if(ID==null) ID=1
MyDataLayer.Execute("INSERT INTO X(id,a,b,c) VALUES(ID,A,B,C)")
unlock(MyDataLayer)
(This is of course pseudocode, for SQL Server I'd need SET IDENTITY_INSERT.)
Do you think the preceding solution is equivalent to the original?
Do you know something better?
Equivalent should mean here, not necessarily generating the same ID's,
but maintaining functionality and consistence all over the database.
is there a way to get around not using USE in a PROCEDURE?
I need to because I have a main site that inserts information into other DB's that i use for various subdomains. But without being able to use USE i cant select which database is needed.
thx in advance
Hi!
I wrote a query in MS-ACCESS using IIF. Is there any way to convert it to SQL Server Query to do the same job as it do in MS-ACCEESS
e.g. Here is manipulation with one column that I did in MS-ACCESS
IIf(InStr(1,Destinations.[Destination Name],"-",1)-1<0,Destinations.[Destination Name],Left(Destinations.[Destination Name],InStr(1,Destinations.[Destination Name],"-",1)-1)) AS COUNTRY,
My company develops software that is distributed to thousands of customers. We chose MSDE as the database engine. Over the past 4 months, we have spent countless hours with customers, Microsoft, Installshield and web searches trying to resolve issues with installing MSDE. The issues seem to vary by customer and most take a great deal of support time. We understood MSDE to be a product that requires little support but in hindsight, it appears that it requires a great deal of knowledge just to get installed. We make small steps but no leaps forward.
It has come time to evaluate other products. If there is a magic bullet, I would love to hear about it. In its absence, does anyone have success to share with other products?

Hi,
Just curious, is there any alternative to SQLXMLBULKLOAD for shredding and loading very large (800 megs) XML files ? Due to the nature of the XML data sent to me (which I have no control over)I am having great difficulty loading data into tables. More specifically, I can load parent data but not the child data beneath it despite using sql:relationships.
Thanks,
Jeff
I have a situation where my SQL works everywhere else but my COBOL compiler complains wherever I use PARTITION BY. I can't find a workaround for that problem so I would like to remove all the PARTITION BYs. I'm not confident that I can do this accurately and would like some help getting started.
Here is my simplest example:
SELECT FESOR.REGION, FESOR.TYPE,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY FESOR.REGION, FESOR.TYPE)
FROM FESOR, FR
where FESOR.phase = 'Ref'
and FESOR.assign is null
and FESOR.comp_date is null
and FESOR.region = FR.REGION
and FESOR.type = FR.TYPE
and FR.REP_ROW='A'
GROUP BY FESOR.REGION, FESOR.TYPE
What I'm looking for is a modified version of the SQL above which returns the same result set without using PARTITION BY.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Hi,
In a stored procedure I'm processing, via a cursor, a table of, potentially, 100,000 rows on a daily basis. The only column in each row is a 12-byte transaction control number. I know that using cursors can cause performance issues. Is there an alternative to using a cursor that has less of a performance impact ?
Thanks,
Jeff
Hi All,
Beside cursor, what else can i use to speed up my processing? Now i have about 2mils rows need to update using one daily reference table(30k rows).
Thanks,
Jack
Cameron writes "Thanks for taking a look @ my question....
Basically, is there an alternative to indexing that maintains the fast searching capability (or possibly faster)?
We maintain over 500 databases on a single SQL server and currently (the way I am told) the server is limited to indexing 256 databases, so we have to basically create a new database with ALL the searchable data and use it for searches. While this works, it seems like there should be an alternate method. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time!"

What would be a better / more elegant solution to something like
IF(@areaCode = '111' OR @areaCode = '222' 0R @areaCode = '333')
BEGIN
//do something
END
that uses less OR's in an IF statement?
Hi all
I work as a production dba and our development team are trying to push a project which involves using triggers. The aim is to transfer information between to databases (on two differents servers) because currently users have to type in the same info into the two different systems.
The triggers will be defined on a couple of tables, checking for inserts, updates, deletes, and then insert this into staging tables within teh same database. However the trigger does more complex processing than just inserting the same records from the production table into the staging table. Because the schema between the source database and destination database is different, the trigger needs to do some manipulation before it updates the staging tables. It basically does massive selects from a number of different tables to get the desired column list & then puts that into the staging tables.
We have basically asked them to reimplement this solution using other methods (such as timestamping the necessary tables and then putting the trigger login into a stored proc and scheduling it to run through a job).
However, we've found out the triggers make use of the 'deleted' and 'inserted' special trigger tables to compare new data to old data - i.e. not all inserts/updates/deletes need to be pushed to the staging tables - it depends on certain criteria based on this comparison of old and new data.....that throws a spanner in the works. What alternatives could provide this functionality, without just making the whole process a a headache to maintain - which is why we recommended not using triggers in the first place!!
Sorry for the long post - needed to explain the issue properly. Hopefully some of you will be able to provide some feedback - teh sooner the better as I have a meeting with the developers later today and would like to offer some alternatives.
Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a procedure that take several paramters and depending of whatvalues is submitted or not, the procedures shall return differentnumber of rows. But to simplyfy this my example use just oneparameter, for example Idnr.If this id is submitted then I will return only the posts with thisidnr, but if this is not submitted, I will return all posts in table.As I can see I have two options1. IF @lcIdNr IS NOT NULLSELECT *FROM tableWHERE idnr = @lcIdNrELSESELECT *FROM table2. Use dynamic SQL.The first example can work with just one parameter but with a coupleof different input paramters this could be difficult, anyway this isnot a good solution. The second example works fine but as I understanddynamic sql is not good from the optimizing point of view. So, I don'twant to use either of theese options, so I wonder If there i a way towork around this with for example a case clause?RegardsJenny

I have a SSIS package that imports an Excel file using Visual Basic 2005 into my SQL 2005 database. All the fields are the same in the DB and xls. The package runs with no problem but I need one of the fields to be autoincrement. I tried to set up the properties of one of my fields "ID" to be an Identity. This didn't seem to work at all. There are about 1300 records in the DB so far with the last "ID" number being 10001415. Before now, the numbers were inputed manually. I want the "ID" to be assigned when the SSIS package imports the xls file.
Any help is very appreciated.
Hi,
I have several SCD components in my project. As I have to process millions of records, SCD's are taking a lot of time. Is there a way to speed them up? Work arounds?
Any tip is welcome

There is another alternative ... if you are using MSCRM 3.0
follow this steps
1. Navigate to your report manager --> //<<Server Name>>/reports
2. Navigate to your datasource --> HOME > <<Datasource>>
3. At the top tab select Properties
4. Make sure that there is a user role call "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" thus apply the appropiate roles for it
Vula....!!!!!
