Hi,
I want to copy xls file from remote server to my server.
i want to use xp_cmdshell to perform this operation.
can anybody help me out how to pass parameter to xp_cmdshell.
thanks in advance,
Chetan S. Raut.
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.)
Hi,
I have to named instances on one server. I'd like to use xp_cmdshell for some interfaces.
I've "activated" the xp_cmdshell feature. I set a proxy account und and gave the sql user the right to exec xp_cmdshell.
Unfortunately the command
EXEC sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account 'DOMAINproxyaccount','APassword'
throws following error:
Msg 15121, Level 16, State 200, Procedure xp_cmdshell, Line 1
An error occurred during the execution of xp_cmdshell. A call to 'LogonUserW' failed with error code: '1326'.
... and yes, the username and password should be valid ;-)
When I exec (makes no sense, I now...)
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'echo 123'
The following error occurs:
Msg 15121, Level 16, State 200, Procedure xp_cmdshell, Line 1
An error occurred during the execution of xp_cmdshell. A call to 'LogonUserW' failed with error code: '1326'.
Has anyone of you an idea?
Thank you very much, Frederik
Hi,
I'm just moving over one of our databases from SQL2000 to 2005. Everything is working fine, and all web sites are working, however I just can't seem to get xp_cmdshell to function on the 2005 server.
I have enabled xp_cmdshell, and when I run a stored procedure, which writes the contents of one column to a text file, it says "invalid object name". This table is definitely there, and is actually updated earlier on in the same SP, so permissions for that are fine.
This is the line causing the problem (if I take it out, the rest of the SP works no problems):
--write the text file
EXEC master.sys.xp_cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT newslettertext FROM mydatabase.dbo.newsletters" queryout D:ewslettertext extbody.txt -U -P -c'
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'mydatabase.dbo.newsletters'.
SQLState = 37000, NativeError = 8180
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared.
NULL
Could it be to do with permissions on the master.sys.xp_cmdshell? If so, wouldn't it give me a "permission denied" error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
SQL Server 2005: Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Edition (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows NT 5.2 (3790)
SQL Version 9.00.3175.00
I have 2 identical servers... one for DEV and one for TEST. On the DEV server, I can use xp_cmsdhell to execute "administrative commands" such as NET SHARE and AT. On the identically configured TEST server, I can not. Those command return the "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied" error. I CAN run other commands via xp_cmdshell (DIR, NET USE, etc.). This is true regardless of the account I connect as.
The SQL Server service accounts in both instances are domain accounts belonging to the local admin group.
I "know" that I ran across this when setting up the DEV server and am "fairly sure" I found a reference to a known problem with 2005's xp_cmdshell and administrative commands. But for the life of me I can not now find any such reference, nor can I find any differences between the DEV and TEST servers in the area of users, groups, policies, or anything else security-related. (99.9% of the internet searches I do end up being about either enabling xp_cmdshell -- done -- or setting up an xp_cmdshell proxy account -- not needed).
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi All,
I've got a stored procedure called from a trigger on another database. There are two xp_cmdshell statements in the procedure. One writes a couple variables, passed from the trigger, into a text file. The second fires off an executable that uses the text file via a batch file.
Here's the code that worked on the old 32bit SQL2000 box
Code Block
begin
declare @cmd varchar(150)
select @cmd = 'echo ' + @sVariable1 + ',' + @sVariable2 +' > c:aFolderTextFile.txt'
exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
declare @cmd2 varchar(150)
select @cmd2 = 'c:aFolderRun.bat'
exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd2
end
The new box is 64bit SQL2005. When invoked the stored procedure executes without an error. The textfile is written sucessfully. But, the executable called from the second xp_shell statement does not produce the expected result. Because there is no error I'm having trouble determining where the failure lies.
To troubleshoot the problem I've tried:
Running the batch file from the command prompt in the system32 directory... Success
Using sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account to be sure of the credentials of the running xp_cmdshell... Failure
My questions:
Does 64 Bit SQL2005 have a different set of parameters when invoking an executable from xp_cmdshell? ie Do I need to rewrite the batch file?
Is there another way call an executable, SQLCMD maybe?
Any help is appreciated...
Code Block
The batch file if you're curious:
"c:Program Files (x86)someVendersomeAppsomeEXE.exe" "C:aFolderTextFile.txt"
I am using the xp_cmdshell to run a batch file that is trying to open the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
When I run the batch file in the command prompt, it opens perfectly.
When I run it in SQL with xp_cmdshell, it returns the contents fine, and I notice it tries to open Acrobat, but it is under the username "system". And I cannot get it to load in a visible area, and for some reason it doesnt seem to load properly under system.
Any ideas? Any Suggestions?
Please advise.

Hi,
I have a least privileged SQL Login €œClient€? and have granted execute rights on XP_Cmdshell SP at master db. When I execute master.. XP_Cmdshell €˜dir€™ I€™m getting the below error.
Msg 15153, Level 16, State 1, Procedure xp_cmdshell, Line 1
The xp_cmdshell proxy account information cannot be retrieved or is invalid. Verify that the '##xp_cmdshell_proxy_account##' credential exists and contains valid information.
Please note it is SQL Login account and not windows account. I have checked everywhere for similar problem and no luck.
Thanks for you help in advance

Basically, I need to insert the wbs2 and wbs3 where it does not exist in each wbs1.
What I have now will find the values that need to be inserted for a particular project but I don't know how to go through each project and perform the insert:
Select * from PR_template Where Not Exists
(Select Wbs1, Wbs2, Wbs3 from PR where PR.WBS2 = PR_Template.WBS2
And PR.WBS3 = PR_Template.Wbs3 and pr.wbs1 = '123-456')
Order by wbs2, wbs3 asc

Hi. I'm trying to find out which "cases" have a new items added to our database. I have provided a sample layout.
ID ParentID Name CreateDate
358 2 SMITH, JOHN 3/3/2008 11:15:23 am
359 358 Invoice 3/5/2008 4:13:52 pm
360 358 Shipping 3/5/2008 5:11:09 pm
361 358 Receiving 3/6/2008 4:22:01 am
The main ID for this is 358. The invoice, shipping, and receiving items are child items. I would like to run a query that can report which cases have newly added items. This is hierarchical I guess and I'm quite lost. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help!

Hello,
I want to write a query that joins data in a different table based on a column value. The table is for a "Playlist" and holds play list items. The items can be video, audio, images, etc. The playlist table looks like this:
Table_Playlist
-----------------
ID (int)
MediaType (char)
MediaId (int)
Table_Audio
-----------------
MediaId (int)
Table_Video
--------------
MediaId (int)
If the Table_Playlist.[MediaType] column value = "Audio" then I want to join to the Table_Audio table. If the value = "Video" then I need the video table.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks
Hi,
I have got a column with the string "I too Love Sql Server". I am trying an output as shown below:
I want to divide this into 4 columns :
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
I too Love Sql Server I.t.L.S.S

Hello All,
I am tackling with unique request. I have to download the ".zip" files from the https and uncompress them. Now, the fetch process works fine when I am downloading the files. Using .net and .IO namespaces from system library.
Similarly after downloading I have to uncompress the files as these files are treated by compressed file folders by windows xp. I know it can be achieved by using the IO.compression class form system namespace.
But the only trouble here is IO.compression supports ".gz" and "Gzipstream.Uncompress" and I wonder how I would be able to get the ".zip" and "Zipstream.uncompress" done.
Thanks a million in all your help and advice. Also I appreciate for your time.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way, including third party tools, to replicate a design change on a table across many different databases. I have written an ASP script that allows me to copy multiple tables to multiple databases in one go but I need something that will allow me to replicate the design of a table by comparing source and destination tables. So far I have scripted most of it but I have no idea on which system table to get the identity information and it seems there must be an easier way!
Any help would be appreciated,

I`m having difficulty performing a SQL dump using a network drive. I have successfully created a backup device on a network drive but when I go to perform a backup using it I get the following error message: "Can`t open dump device `RSS4DATARSA3_Dump.Dat`, device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)" I can successfully perform a backup using a local drive but not this network drive. I have checked the permissions on the network drive and is seems ok. I use the following command to try to perform the backup: "DUMP DATABASE RSA3 TO DISK = `Rss4DataRSA3_Dump.Dat WITH STATS = 10, INIT". Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have listed below a sql statement generated by a MS Access query. The Access is the frontend, using a SQL Server 2005 View as the backend. I have already corrected the obvious differences between Access and SQL Server syntax, such as replacing UCase$ with UPPER,
replacing '_' with '.' between the db owner and view name, replacing IIF with IF, and replacing "D" with 'D' and "E" with 'E', but it still generates syntax errors (of course, with no explanation). As you can see, it is SUMing a field based on whether the value is 'D' or 'E', then using those calculated values to calculate a percentage. Can anyone out there let me know what I'm doing wrong?
SELECT dbo_vwDisplayUserList.DEPT_DESC, Sum(IIf(UCase$([Essential_Code])="D",1,0)) AS Department_Essential, Sum(IIf(UCase$([Essential_Code])="E",1,0)) AS EOC_Essential, Count(dbo_vwDisplayUserList.UserID) AS Total_Employees, Int([Department_Essential]/[Total_Employees]*100) AS [%Department_Essential], 100-Int([Department_Essential]/[Total_Employees]*100) AS [%EOC_Essential]

Hi,
I am having an issue when performing an FTP atsk to a remote site ( as opposed to internaly on a LAN )
I get the error "[Connection manager "FTP Connection Manager"] Error: An error occurred in the requested FTP operation. Detailed error description: 200 Type set to IMAGE. 200 command successful 550 permission denied . "
I can manually FTP to this site from my machine, using either a CMD window or Windows explorer. I can create folders, deposit files, delete files etc so I seem to have full control. This task works when testing on our local FTP server on the LAN. The "Test" connection works when configuring the connection to the remote site. It is just at runtime that the task fails.
Can anybody come up with any ideas why this may be ?

I have a car table, whose rows contain cars and their respective weight:
Ex: (1, 1000), (2,1100), (3, 900) etx.
I also have a car class table with the classes cars can fall into, based on a lower bound and an upper bound in which the car's weight must fit.
Ex: (Class1, 0, 999), (Class2, 1000, 1499), (Class3, 1500, 1999), etc.
I need to match each car to it's respective class. I've already search the database for post on this subject, but unfortunatelly my goal is yet to be reached. Can someone help?
