I want to run a stored procedure, from a .bat file.
Here is line 1 of the .bat file
osql -S SISPROD -d gSchool -E -Q "xSP_Attendance_Post_All_1Day '0708'"
When I run it as a Schedule Task, get
Run-time error '-2147217904...' Procedure 'xSP_Attendance_Post_All_1Day' expects parameter '@sy' which was not supplied.
The '0708' is the @sy parameter.
What is wrong with the command?
The weirder thing is that when I get a command prompt, any osql command gives me this:
'osql' is not recognized as an internal or external command,...'
Unless I run the .bat file -- then I get the same error as the 1st above.
SQL Server is not installed on this server. How does the Scheduled task run osql (although with the 1sterror above)? The task is running as "me", Active Directory user, same as I am logged on to server but cannot run osql at all.
TIA
I am on a new task where I don't have Enterprise Manager available and I need to build a database (I have been spoiled on all prior tasks).
I have access to SQL-Server and have OSQL available (and other utilities I don't know how to use).
I have already found that I can access the server using OSQL, but I don't know the rest of the parameters for OSQL or how to use them. I need to build tables, relationships, indices, stored procedures, views, etc.
Could someone point me to some documentation where I can learn how to use OSQL?
Hi guys I need to apply a sql script file on Sql server 2000 by .net 2.0 program. but on the current running machine, there is not Osql.exe file. Do you guys know how to execute the sql file without the command? Is there any way provided in .net library ? Thanks for you response!
We have 10+ MSDE 2000 installations on the same network. Each install has a named instance and the machines connect to eachother via VB application. We have a couple SQL 2000 Standard boxes and a SQL 2005 box all running on the same network with no issues. The problem we have recently run into is with a SQL Express box. When the box is on the network OSQL stops finding the MSDE 2000 named instances on the network and only the SQL Express named instance appears in the list. The second the SQL Express box is removed from the network the named instances are visible. I monitored the UDP traffic and suspect there is an issue with the response from SQL Express to OSQL. Can't find any issues for this problem only report I found is if MSDE and Express are on the same machine.

Hi I am trying to make a backup of my SQL server 2005, used with Web Developer 2005 Express, in osql.exe (can't find any other way of doing it). I get the error that "under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections".I connect to it fine from the Web Developer 2005 and my application . I followed another post's instructions where I enabled the TCP/IP and named pipes for "Protocols for SQLEXPRESS", but didn't work. In fact when I changed TCP/IP properties/ IP Addresses/TCP Dynamic port to nothing , and TCP Port to 1357, the server wouldn't start again !! (not doin THAT again)Regards Amanda
Can I use osql to known the database install on a server via 'guest'account ?I had over 300 servers with sql server all around France (differentversion : 6.5, 7 and 8)I need to check all database on each servers from my place.Of course, also it would have been to easy, I don't have all 'sa'password...Is that possible to use the 'guest' account to execute a query likethis via osql :Extract.sqlexec sp_helpdbExtract.cmdfor /f "usebackq tokens=1 delims=" %%i IN (ListServer.txt) DOosql-S%%i -Uguest -P -dmaster -i"C:ExtractionExtract.sql"-o"C:Extraction\%%i.rpt"Could I query 'master' with the 'guest' account ?Or any other ideas how to do this by an other way ?Thanks
Hi, i´m new to SQL SERVER, I've been using Oracle and MySql without problems so far. I'm having problems to connect to SQL SERVER on my local machine. **UPDATE I can connect via command line, but from Visual Studio can´t connect to SQL SERVER Sometimes I got this error: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. And sometimes something about enabling remote connections in SQL SERVER , but the server is in the local machine. what´s suppose to be the name of my server? localhost? what am I doing wrong, ? I have no problems to connect to Oracle and mysql with Visual Studio. Thanks in advance
I get following error trying to use SQLCMD OR OSQL
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi shing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.. Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I searched this forum for answers and I found one solution where it was said that Remote connections for TCP and Named Pipes needs to be enabled. I have them enabled, but I still get this error. I had working SQL server before, but I had to uninstall it. Now after installing ti again I started to get this error.
Anything else besides disabled remote connections cause this problem? I'm trying a local connection. I heard elsewhere that this could be firewall related, but shouldn't it use local connection always when I try to connect it with sqlcmd and no other parameters given?
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 ?
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.
i'm trying to execute some scripts created by the express studio script wizard. i can connect with the studio, the website (asp worker) but i can't create the right cmdline for osql ..... this is my osql line ......
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?

"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"
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?
I run a script with Osql and got no error but the accent caracter (french message) are modified.
the script is CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.AccentTest AS Print('é à è î ï ù') GO and come CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.AccentTest AS Print('Θ α Φ ε ∩ ∙') GO :o This is very bad! Can someone can help me? Any suggestion? PLease.....
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'
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.
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?
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")
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?
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.
