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
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm running isql from a dos batch file and the isql command is below:
%SQLPath%isql -U%DBUser% -P%DBPswd% -S%SQLServer% -d%Gatewaydb% -iBatchScriptsSQL_Get_Create_Batch.sql -oZ:mbox
ecsincreate_1.bat -w100 -s; -h
I want the rows from the SELECT statement in my ".sql" file to appear in the output file but what ends up being written to the file is this:
1> 2> 3> 4> 5> 6> 7> 8> 9> 10> 11> 12> 13> 14> 15> 16> 17> 18> 19> 20> 21> (14 rows affected)
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,

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.

Please consider the following:
I need to be able to query a db on server A, in a batch file, return the result (DateTime value) into a variable, and then use that date as a parameter in a query that I will query on server b.
I have the following code:
isql -E -d firstDB -S ServerA -Q "select max(load_date) from mydates"
How would I pipe the results of the above query into a variable???
I cannot create a linked server between the two servers. (Permissions)
Thanks in advance!

View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes any know of a technique to filter out headers dashes and row count in an output file of an isql result? These switches seem to be available when running as isql/w, but not the command line. The -h-1 argument for no headers had no effect. Thanks in advance. Ron Hurley
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to have an Application owner backup a SQL Server dbase after his updates.
Im not that familiar with ISQL. He does not have EM installed on his machine. What minimum installments do I have to do on his machine for him to log into SQL Server, after I create a login for him ?
Once in the command window I would give him the script of isql -Usa -Ppassword -SSqlServerA -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [test] TO DISK = N'E:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBackupdbase1' WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'test backup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT"
Is this the correct way to go ?
Thank you
Hello all.
I have a stored proc which creates a couple of temp tables, then bounces them against a production table an updates a column in the production table.
This stored proc takes about 10 minutes to run and update about 20,000 rows. If I execute each statement seperately in an ISQL window, it all runs in under 2 minutes.
Any ideas on why this is happening are GREATLY appreciated.
Hi there:
Using Oracle SQL*Plus, I can have a script to execute other scripts written before such as this:
@script1
@script2

@scriptn
Using ISQL or ISQL/w, how can I do this?
Thanks in advance
I am having a problem running a stored procedure using isql to launch the procedure.
My stored procedure contains a statement like:
select @myvar = count(*) from mytable where mycolumn is null
when I run the procedure from query analyser a value is set in @myvar showing the correct number of null values from mytable which is output to another table where I can see it.
Without making any changes, when I run the identical procedure using isql to execute the procedure @myvar gets set to zero. The procedure cannot find the null values in mytable
I have tried setting ANSI_NULLS on and off inside the procedure but still get the same result.
Can someone please tell me what is going on, and how I might get isql to show me how many null values exist in the table?
Hi,
A while ago we changed from Sybase to MS Sql Server 2000. Thereby we also introduced Windows Authentication instead of SQL Logins. When end-users wanted to read directly (tools like Enterprise Manager/Query Analyzer/ isql and Office products (like Access and Excel via MS Query)) from the Sybase database we managed that with a SQL login with read-only rights. With Windows Authentication in MS Sql Server 2000 the end-user can enter the database with update rights. Is there a way to manage tools like EM/QA/isql/Office products etcetera so that the end-user can approach the database only with a SQL Login instead of Windows authentication ? Although we are building tooling to kill every user who approaches the database with the tooling mentioned, we think this is not a proper way to manage database access.
We hope someone has encountered the same problem and knows how to handle this and can help us.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe simple 'select' from ISQL/W is taking more than 2 mins. for getting 20000 records. Is it normal?

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!
