How To Pass A Input Value To A Script Using Osql
Dec 2, 2004
I want to run a sql script that creates some views using "osql". The views in turn refer to user defined functions which need a two-part name reference(MyUser.MyFunction). Is there a way to do this without hardcoding the value of the "MyUser" in the script?
Example..
I want to run a script called myscript.sql using OSQL. The file myscript.sql looks like this..
CREATE view V1
AS
SELECT *, UserOwner1.MyFunction1(5)
FROM MyTable
go
CREATE view V11111
AS
SELECT *, UserOwner1.ScalarFunction11111(7)
FROM MyTable
go
-----
I do not want to hardcode the username (UserOwner1) since it varies from database to database. So when I run this script from command prompt using "osql" I want the ability to supply the value for the username (UserOwner1) which owns the user defined function. How to do this?
This problem would go away if SQLServer 2000 was not so adamant about requiring two part reference to a user defined function.
Thanks!

Hello Everybody,
I am sure this has been asked a thousand times before in a thousand different ways, but here goes...
I am in need of the ability to prompt users for a From Date and To Date to insert into a WHERE clause in SQL queries. What is the easiest least painful way of accomplishing this? A great many of our customers utilized SQL Server Express or MSDE, so they do not have the full gambit of SQL tools handy. Believe me when I say that I have searched high and low across the internet for this solution. I was hoping I might be able to accomplish this through VB Script or J Script. Or, anything reasonable.
Thanks in advance for your time and patience,
Rocky Mountain Tech

I am not sure if this has been asked before but I couldn't find any thread talking about this.
Let's say we have a parameter in the .sql input file called @Start_Date, how can we pass the value of a particular date, for example, "02-28-2007" to @Start_Date via SQLCMD? is it possible?
I'm trying to skip the need to write a simple windows application...if things can be achieved via dos command line, that will keep everything simple!
thanks! :)

I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.

Hi
We already used Oracle Datasatage Server the following Query statement for Source and Lookup.here there is parameter maping in the SQl Statement . How can achive in SSIS the Folowing Querystatment?
Query 1: (source View Query)
SELECT
V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.GDR_PRODUCT_ID, V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.ASSET_TYPE, V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.PREFERENCE_SEQ, V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.RDP_PRICE_SOURCE, TO_CHAR(V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.PRICE_DATE_TIME,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), TO_CHAR(V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.REPORT_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE.SOURCE_SYSTEM_ID

REPORT_DATE = (select max(report_date) from V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE where source_system_id = 'RM' )
Query 2: (look up )
SELECT
GDR_PRODUCT_ID,
TO_CHAR(MAX(PRICE_DATE_TIME),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') ,
TO_CHAR(REPORT_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')

V_RDP_GOLD_PRICE
where
GDR_PRODUCT_ID = :1 and
report_date = TO_DATE(:2,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') AND
PRICE_DATE_TIME BETWEEN TO_DATE(:2,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') - 7) AND TO_DATE(:2,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
GROUP BY GDR_PRODUCT_ID, TO_CHAR(REPORT_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
please anyone give the sample control flow and how to pass the parameter?
Thanks & regards

Hi all.
My first post here.
I want to distriburte a msde database. When doing so, I also want to make a new login, make a user, make the user the dbowner of the database i installed.
I found the Stored procedures I need to use, and I have tested that it works using OSQL.
What I want to do now is to make this automatic. After installing the database the OSQL commands should be executed and no user interference should be necessary. How can that be done ?

Hello,
I have several sql scripts to be executed on a set schedule, with the output directed to a text file. If the schedule triggers this process daily, is it possible to append each days output to the same output file? I've researched the osql switches and various online sources...nothing really covers this.
This is done (relatively) easily with .vbs, but so far it looks tougher with TSQL.
Many thanks to all who respond!

the following is the working connection string for my aspworker.
"Server=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Database=ggmi;User Id=sa;Password=cr79cr02;Trusted_connection=false;";
when i try to put in the trust conenction parameter is says that it conflicts with the user flag ,. probably because its a differant type of login process. any ideas?

the help document said that
"osql -b will specifies that OSQL exits and returns a DOS ERRORLEVEL value when an error occurs. The value returned to the DOS ERRORLEVEL variable is 1 when the SQL Server error message has a severity of 10 or greater; otherwise, the value returned is 0."
my question is : how can I get the DOS ERRORLEVEL.
example:
C:>isql -E -b -Q"backup log pubs to disk='C:adsfasd.tmp'"
the result:
Msg 4208, Level 16, State 0, Server YANG, Line 1
当恢复模型为 SIMPLE 时,不允许使用 BACKUP LOG 语句。请使用 BACKUP DATABASE 或用
ALTER DATABASE
更改恢复模型。
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server YANG, Line 1
BACKUP LOG 操作异常终止。
It's in chinese language,means
"can not use BACKUP LOG when the restore model being SIMPLE,you can use ALTER DATABASE or BACKUP DATABASE to change the restore model.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server YANG, Line 1
BACKUP LOG aborted"
where is DOS ERRORLEVEL???? How can I get it????
thanks

Question for the experts here:
Is there any advantage of running an SQL statement through osql with the database information over using dynamic sql?
Example:
DECLARE @DB Varchar(50)
DECLARE @SQL Varchar(4000)
SET @DB = '<nvr_changing_server>.<my_dynamic_db_name>'
SET @SQL = 'SELECT admissiontype_id AS atype, admissiontype AS atype_desc, start_date, end_date
INTO tlkAdmitType
FROM <nvr_changing_server>.<nvr_changing_DB>.dbo.tlkAdmissionTypes'
exec master..xp_cmdShell 'osql -U sa -P sapwd -S nvr_changing_server -d my_dynamic_db_name -Q @SQL....'
vs. something like:
DECLARE @DB Varchar(50)
DECLARE @SQL Varchar(4000)
SET @DB = '<nvr_changing_server>.<my_dynamic_db_name>'
SET @SQL = 'SELECT admissiontype_id AS atype, admissiontype AS atype_desc, start_date, end_date
INTO ' + @DB +'.dbo.tlkAdmitType
FROM <nvr_changing_server>.<nvr_changing_DB>.dbo.tlkAdmissionTypes'
EXEC(@SQL)
The purpose of all this is...I need to pass a parameter for the DB that I will be inserting into...here we create a new db with a specific name based on quarterly data. We collect, crunch, validate data and ship it. Then when it's old we archive it then eventually delete it.
I have written a script that makes this quarterly build less painful. In fact I won't have to do it! :)...our Sr. Data Analysts will do it now. In order for this beautiful thing (*in my mind anyway*) to work they need to set parameters for which data to pull and where to put it. The DB is scripted into existance and the data is moved into it. So therefore they need to enter the Qtr,Yr and dbname. I have done DSQL before on smaller scripts and I am just curious if the expert pool here can shed some light on this approach. The script will most likely be run in a DTS SQL Task.
Thanks in advance...R

Locally executing osql to create db files on a remote Webserver, I get this error:
41> 42> 43> 44> 45> Meldung 916, Ebene 14, Status 1, Server USER-EQ9OV60EMF, Zeile 12
Server user 'Robse_Testlogin' is not a valid user in database 'msdb'.
(The above is german and translates into "Message 916, Level 14,..., Row 12")
This is the command with parameters:
osql -S servername -U Robse_Testlogin -P password -i c:Storestoredb.sql"
Up to that line, everything works fine...what could be wrong?

At first I'd like to justify myself - I'm rather a greenhorn in MS SQL ;-)
What I'd like to do is to create a very simple spool file from my database.
I'd like to do this using OSQL tool and it's very important for me to have the spool file in the same format as it was earlier when I used Oracle and simple spool command.
And it's almost the same, but white spaces...
There's always one white space at the begining of each line and at least one at the and of each line.
I've been trying many OSQL switches and ltrim(..) / rtrim(..) functions but the problem still exists...
The spool file is rather big - around 300MB so it's not good idea to use SED (for example) to remove white spaces.
So my question:
IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE WHITE SPACES COMPLETELY USING OSQL SPOOL?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,I have several big tables with rows more than 25 mil rowsand to update/delete/insert data in these tables,it can take minutes.I use BULK Insert/DELETE/Update with osql.While I run one of these updates,if I try to select, it seems like both read and write get locked.Shouldn't SQL resolve this kind of locking?I left these to see if it gets resolved but both never returned.So I need to kill these processes.Does anyone have any scripts to find how long queries are running?Also I need to make osql timeout and tried -t but it didn't work.I used -t 1200 with DELETE in osql but it was running for more than 40minutes. So I killed it and ran DBCC DBREINDEX on the table and re-ranit and it worked.Shouldn't the query get killed after 10 minutes?What is exactly -t option for ?thanks,

I have some long running scripts which I fire at my database using osql.(These are big files and mostly doing inserts but some also do a few otherthings.) It would be nice to have some activity indication (other than thedisk activity light) that these are running. When I used to use Oracle,their equivalent to osql had an option to print a dot (without a carriagereturn) for every "n" statements. This gave a nice "I'm alive" indicator. Ican simulate this by adding a few "print" statements in my sql, but printalways adds a carriage return. Does anyone know a way of doing a print butwithout the addition of a CR (or CR/LF)? So that a second "print" sends itsoutput to the same line as the first?I know this is a nicety and I can live without it, but it would be nice.thanks in advance,Brianwww.cryer.co.uk/brian

I have a question. I am doing some work for someone and I have a batchfile that they can run that will execute an OSQL line and a DTSRUNline. In both lines I run them using the /S /U /P switches and ofcourse the /N or /i switch to tell it what to run. I have also triedreplacing the /U /P switches with the /E switch.My problem is that as long as I specify the users password on the OSQLline (either with /U & /P or with /E & /P) it will run. If I try andjust use the /E it will say password failed for DOMAIN/USER . Ok, Idon't really care I can specify the password and the script will run.However no matter what I do the DTSRUN line will not run, it gives methis same password error.I can run this line just fine on my PC on my network and my domainusing just the /S /E switches.Any ideas as to why it will work for OSQL but not DTSRUN?Thanks in advance.

I have not seen this ever on my computer until today...
I start CuteFTP or NetObjects Fusion 8 and I get an installer window popping up saying:
"Please wait while Microsoft configures Microsoft SQL desktop engine"
ZoneAlarm warns me that OSQL.exe is trying to connect to my network.
I let it.
Then ZA warns me that OSQL is trying to connect to the internet.
At this point, if I let it, or deny it, the thing installer (which looks to be half way done) reloads itself and starts over with ZA warning that it's trying to connect locally, then to the internet. Over and over this happens.
It wont let either of my program start until it goes through about 5 or 6 cycles of whatever it's trying to do.
Then it just disappears and my program will load.
If I close either CuteFTP of NetObjects and start them back up, the whole OSQL.exe thing starts again.
I have rebooted and it still does this.
The odd thing is some of the IP addresses it's trying to connect to.
72.14.207.104 - Google
96.6.129.187 - Akamai
207.46.248.249 - Microsoft (ok, that's understandable)
I didn't write the IP address, but it tried to get to Hotwired.com too..
How do I fix this? Why is it doing this?
I'm running XP Pro. P-4 3Ghz 1.5Gb RAM
Thanks for any help!
