I have been playing around with the enterprise manager and selected Backup Database from the action menu and schedule this task for an odd time for testing.
How do I go about removing this task?
Whenever I go to the same menu item again, it just starts over .. like I don't have the task already setup.
In general, how do you remove automated tasks?
Thanks,

Where can i learn about making the sql server execute task when a certain situation happens. Like lets say make the server delete all entrys older than 40 days? Or have a entry deleted automatically when a certain situation happens like lets say it take 4 votes and a entry get deleted how do i make it do that automatically

I'm currently using an Execute SQL Task to return XML data from a query into an SSIS string variable. In my FOR XML clause in SQL I'm specifying a certain name for my root tag, called "Accounts". This works great in Management Studio, however, the Execute SQL Task appends a <ROOT> and </ROOT> tag to the start and end of the string, so now it looks like:
<ROOT><Accounts>...all my elements...</Accounts></ROOT>
I'd like to remove the ROOT tags so that the <Accounts> tags are actually the root for this doc. What would be the best way to remove the ROOT tags from the SSIS string variable?
Thanks!
Has anyone been able to successfully delete old backup files(*.bak) and tran logs (*.trn) TOGETHER using maintenance plan cleanup task in SQL 2005 SP2.
this is transact sql running in the back ground.
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'F:MSSQL.2MSSQLBackupibmdir',N'"bak" & "trn"',N'2007-03-26T22:21:14',1
This DOESNT WORK.
It works if I just try to delete only one of the things ie trn or bak files.
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'F:MSSQL.2MSSQLBackupibmdir',N'bak',N'2007-03-26T22:21:14',1
But is there a way to delete both bak and trn files using one task ?
On the main BIDS menubar, there is a menu for Debug. If I select Debug > Delete All Breakpoints, any breakpoint in a script task is still there afterwards. Is there a way other than opening the script task and removing it there?

I have uninstalled the CTP version of the SQL Server express so that I can install the released version but CTP version is still listed in the add/remove program list but without the change/remove button. I have been to different sites to find information on cleaning this up and I have ran all the uninstall tool I can find but the problem still prevails. I cannot install the released version without completely getting rid of the CTP version. Please help anyone.
Thanks

I need help,
I am having a hard time removing my SQL instance inside the Add/Remove program. After i select the SQL Instance name and then I tried to remove it but it won't allow me to delete it. There isn't any error message or whatsoever. Actually, when i try to log it in my SQL Management studio, that certain sql instance name is not existing according to the message box. Is there any way to remove the Sql Instance in my system?
I appreciate your help, Thanks

Hi. I am using SQL 7.0.
Here is the situation... there are random (.csv) files being dropped into a specific directory on a daily basis. Is it possible to have SQL server automatically pick up this file and run it through the Import/Export data option so that it creates a SQL table from the original data? I need this whole sequence to be automated. Is this possible? Somebody please help... I will appreciate it greatly. Thanks a lot!

I am trying to automate the installation process of our Help
Desk software `Expert Advisor`. It uses a MS SQL Server 6.5
database. I can figure out the automation of Expert Advisor,
but is it possible to automate the installation of the
SQL drivers for each workstation? I don`t want or need any of the
utilities such as ISQL/w installed along with the driver--just the
SQL driver itself. Is there a runtime version of the database I should
use? I`m fairly new to SQL so please forgive me if I seem naive.
Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know what happened on that first thread, but here it is again.
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I have set up a .bat file to automatically export all of my server logs to a directory on my SQL server. From there I am trying to import those files into an event_log table that I have set up. (from there I am going to use Cold Fusion to parse the table each day and e-mail me with anything I should look at) The estimated ROI for my company is roughly $14.5k, it's easy so if you don't already have an error log monitoring solution, check this out!
Anyway I tried to use BCP in my .bat file but it keeps coming back with an unexpected end of file error.
Can I get some help with either:
1. Find a command line tool to import these .txt files with
-or-
2. Help me with the BCP issue?
Thanks in advance.
I am an intern at a university and we are looking for a way to automatically document tables, queries, etc. ColdFusion is the platform used, and SQL Server 2000. Is there a way to have the documentation performed that will capture tables, constraints, etc.? I have found some, but so far, none are working. Please help if you can!!! :confused:
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have 2 databases, one called "ManagementDB" and the other called "ManagementDBYesterday".
Basically I get asked very frequently to look at yesterdays data for various reasons and I thought it'd be a good idea to always have yesterdays data to hand instead of restoring all the time.
I have tried DTS but this takes too long, I've also thought of replication however the database is modified too frequently for this to be easliy implemented.
Restoring from a backup is quite quick so I thought if I could somehow automate this, I'd have a readily available copy of yesterdays data to hand.
I have a mon-sun daily backup so I need to write some SQL script to restore from the correct backup to the "yesterday" database.
I've only used restore via the enterprise manager and I was wondering if anyone here could help.
kind regards,
Mike,
I have a customer who insists on emailing an excel spreadsheet to me to be uploaded to a sql database. I came across a script at one point that laid out how I would script this out. Basically it was in parts, 1. open email program and get attachment. 2.After saving attachment closing email program in order to be used the next day or next time an attachment was sent. 3. import the attached spreadsheet into SQL database. I would also like to be able to schedule this to run with the built in Windows 2000 scheduler.
Can anyone help me out on this one??
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm working on a program that is some kind of organizer for all the tasks that employees have to carry out. A part of this program should check the deadline from the tasks, and send a mail if the deadline is in less than 5 days.

Can anyone tell me how I can do that, or put me on track with some key words to google for?

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new in SQL Server and trying to build up a BI Solution for my firm. We have got monthly data about revenue headcounts and so, which should be integrated into a DW.
I was wondering whether there is an automated way to import this csv data in SQL like in a batch, because the users are not familiar with SQL Server at all. The structure of the data will be the same all the time, since it comes from legacy systems.
YOur help would be highly appriciated:)

Hello,
I have a problem with an integration services project of SQL server 2005. I have a text file with various data, which can be read out easily with a dataflow task and a flat file source. The data shall be transferred into a target database which I developed according to a star pattern. The fact table can be generated automatically if and only if all data belonging to a dimension table is inserted by myself. Of course, this procedure is not reasonable while having a vast amount of data. That is the reason why I want to generate the dimension tables automatically, too. A dimension is build e.g. like this: ApplicationID | ApplicationName. So, only two columns are available. But I don't know how to insert an automated ID.
I would be thankful for any help.M-l-G
Hi,
how would i unzip a password protected file after downloading it from sftp server.
thanks
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
Try
ds = CType(Dts.Variables("VP_EMAIL_RESULTS_RS").Value, DataSet)
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.
part number leadtime
x 5
y 9
....
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
thanks

We have automated the process of backing up and restoring the databases. But the problem is One database is restoring from several hrs ..though it is supposed to take only a few mins. So there is some issue with it and I want to find out how I can stop the restoring process.
Its not a command am running in query analyser or Enterprise manager, but its automated so i cant see the command to stop it.
Any ideas?

I am not very expert in sql/db and smtp (or other email) stuffs. So please help me.

I need to create an Automated DTS package. At present I am running it manually each morning to import our phone switch data to an SQL table. The reason I had to go this route is this.
Because the Access tables are locked, I have a System DSN that connects to the System.mda file, this in turn gives me access to the locked tables to extract the data I need into Excel. I then drop the existing SQL table and run the DTS package recreating the SQL table with the data from the Excel file. I do not want to use OLEDB to connect to the Access table from within my application because it changes each month and of course the traffic load, I have as many 150 clients hitting the DB at one time.
I actually need the DTS package to update the SQL table with the latest data.
I'm no DTS guru, so how can I do this automagically?
Here's my process:
1. I have a form where someone enters certain criteria for some data…
2. The form than populates a record in a table with all the criteria…
3. I create a query based on the selected criteria for exporting…
How can I automate the process (maybe using DTS) where SQL server will automatically export the data for me using a stor proc? Create a file, populate the file etc…. or will I need to create an external App to do this?

Hi,
I'm looking for a bit of advice about the best way to make automatic remote backups of a MS SQL server.
I currently run a dedicated windows 2003 standard server that i have complete control over, but my databases are hosted on a shared machine that i have no control on.
Is there a way to automate backups from the SQL database onto the windows machine?
Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated!
Is there a way to automate the generation of sql scripts. I addition to backing up the database I like to have a backup schema. Just wondering if this can be done.
Thanks !!!

Hi guys
I have setup a sequence of jobs to run maintenance on one of our SQL Servers.
The sequence of jobs is as follows:
Backup database
Archive database
Recreate indexes
Shrink database
Update statistics
Backup database
There is also another step which is Restore Database. This step is only called if the Archive, Re-index or Shrink jobs fail.
I made a slight script error and so when the job ran on Sunday it deemed the job a failure and attempted to restore the database, that wasn't a problem as the error was deliberate to test the restore process.
The restore process failed and logged the following message:
Job 'Sunday Maintenance - Full' : Step 8, 'Restore Database' : Began Executing 08/02/04 22:58:40
Msg 3101, Sev 16: Database in use. The system administrator must have exclusive use of the database to run the restore operation. [SQLSTATE 42000]
Msg 3013, Sev 16: Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000]
The syntax I used to do the restore was:
RESTORE DATABASE Emvolve
FROM DISK = 'H:DbdataBackupEmvolve_Full_Before.BAK'
WITH REPLACE
How do I get around this error message to complete the restore automatically? Any services that access this database are stopped prior to this process running so nothign should be accessing SQL.
Any ideas would be appreciated as I am only a learner as far as SQl goes.
Cheers
Paul
