We have a very long and complicated SQL script which we run to upgrade
a version of our software from old to new. It works great in Query
Analyzer, but when run through osql it takes errors on lines that are
very long and (I think) stops reading after a certain amount of
characters. I've searched the net but haven't found anyone mentioning
this before. I have tried the -w 5000 parm to no avail.
Any suggestions?
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

When i open a project in ssis show the message:
"Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file."
I click Yes and my project open normally. Someone know why this happen? My project is small, have one package with any imports excel files to Sql Server 2005.
Thanks

I have a dtsx package that works fine with one exception. When I open the dtsx package in BI, it gives me the following message:
Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file?
When I respond yes, the package opens and I can edit or execute with no problem. Still, I want to understand what could cause this message to occur and, more importantly, how I can get rid of the message. When I try to simply execute the package I still get the same error and it seems this will be a problem for trying to run the package from SQL Server agent.
It seems likely to me that this message refers to the dtsx file (in xml format) itself. Does that make any sense?
Hi,
i created a large Integration Services Package. When I start now the Project an open the Package, I get a Message
"Document contains one or more long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file?"
What does this Message mean for me? Which mistake did I?
Thanks a lot
In all my SSIS packages where I have created a Script Component (destination) in my Data Flow and set the PreCompile option to True; the binary of the script is being put in the dtsx fileas a single line. Subsequently every time I try to open the package, Visual Studio warns me that: €œDocument contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still wish to open the file?€?
Any idea how to fix this?
NOTE: This does not happen for any PreCompiled Script Tasks. For these the binary is broken into multiple lines in the dtsx file.
Thank you for your help,

Hi,
I've created a dataset with 27 measures and 20 query parameters. When attempting to load the report containing this dataset I'm shown the message;
'Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file.'
If I do open the file it does indeed respond very slowly or even hangs.
I can manually format the XML code but amending the code in any way (i.e. using the layout designer to move a chart) removes my formatting and re-introduces the problem.
Are these an unreasonable amount of measures / parameters?

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!
is there some way to activate osql from a c++ app and stream theoutput to my program?

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????

Hello All,
A VERY green SQL Server DBA here looking for some help. Our main production environment is Oracle, which utilizes Control-M as a scheduler. At the end of the Oracle batch process, we would like to automate a process to kick off a sql server job (perhaps via osql??) Is this possible?

osql.exe -S MyServer -U username-P pwd-d TestDB -n -o "C:Devosql_test.log" -i "C:DevAccentTest.sql" :
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
Hi,
When i want to run the OSQL utility, it will open the command prompt, but only for about a second, then, gone...
I'm running an XP pro machine with MSDE 2000 installed locally... any ieads??
thanks!
I created a sql script that transfers data from my test system to production adn vice versa. I would like to use OSQL and be able to pass parameters to the SQL script.
Example: param 1 = test; param 2 = production.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible and how to do it?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
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.
Is osql/isql supported in SQL 2005? How about in 2008? Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,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,
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 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 am using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services and all my reports preview with many more pages, as the preview will show Page 1 of 20, but if I print the report I get say 12 pages. The reports are always correct, but the preview show less data per page? Is there a way to get the preview to be what is going to print out?
This occurs in MS Visual Studio 2005 also as well as from the web. On a drill down report I get on some reports only 10 line when the print out will have 30 lines perpage
