In SQL7 Query Analyzer we want the results of a SELECT statement not to be displayed on screen but written to a text file.
We assume that in the tons of sp_ and SET statements there should exist
one where output file can be defined.

I am running backups on SQL Sever express and I take backups via the batch file executing the TSQL as below. This works perfectly fine, I just need to be able to spool out the backup completion log. What TSQL command can I use to do that?
My batch file looks like this:
@echo off
sqlcmd -S SERVER01 -E -i H:master_scriptsTOM_FAM_log.sql
Which will the call the TOM_FAM_log.sql :
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) -- database name
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name
SET @path = 'H:BackupTOM_FAM'
[Code] ....
Usually if we schedule the backups using the maintenance plan, we can chose reporting options that can spool the result of the backup to a text file. What is the T-SQL for the spool report to a text file.
This option produces a file that writes logs with the details I posted below. I would like to do the same or similar using T-SQL in my code.
Microsoft(R) Server Maintenance Utility (Unicode) Version 11.0.3000
Report was generated on "SERVER01".

I am trying to append some text to a full text field in SQL Server 2000. I tried this; but, it didn't work:
UPDATE DefendantEventPros SET EventComment=EventComment + ' This event was completed on "& Date() &".' WHERE EventNumber="& eventnumber &"
I get an error saying:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text.
How can I append some text to the end of a field? Thanks for any help!
The Sql Server database can only see the local drive.
I would like to set up a batch file that will copy a SQL Server
backup file from the local drive to the network drive. I would
like to append the file date to the end of the copied file. I
assume a batch file can accomplish this but I am new to batch
file writing. Does anyone have code that they already created
for this sort of task??
Thank you!

Does anyone know what would cause my log file (.LDF) to grow at a rate of over 1MB per second and quickly fill up the hard drive? I could use a quick answer on this. My experience is in Oracle but I'm assuming you can set the maximum size for a log file for starters? Not sure why it would be growing at this rate anyway though. I could use some quick answers on this one. Thanks!
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I was wondering if there was a way for me to append data to a flat file. The reason why i ask this is because i need to create a header for the report that i am exporting.
The way i imagined this working would to be create a dts that would export the header information to a flat file and the create another dts to export the report data and appensd it to the same file that the header dts created. This might not be the correct approach so i was hoping i could get some guidance of how i can accomplish this.
I am using SQL Server 2000.
Thank you!

I run two different types of backups on the same database.
A monthly full and nightly diffs appending to the same full file - file 'A'
A weekly full with 10 min trans log backups appending to same file - file 'B'- during working hours.
2 strategies, 2 backup files.
These are new strats that have gone live this week - tuesday in fact. The monthly and weekly both ran fine on tuesday as did the nightly diff and all the TS backups througout the day. last night - Weds - the nightly diff failed with the following error:
"
Executed as user: <USERNAME>. Cannot perform a differential backup for database "objectstore", because a current database backup does not exist. Perform a full database backup by reissuing BACKUP DATABASE, omitting the WITH DIFFERENTIAL option. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3035) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
"
Whilst the error is perfectly legible I dont understand what its implying - cant I add multiple Diff backups to the same full backup OR is my weekly / 10 mins on the same database (but to a diff backup file) ballsing things up for me somehow? If this is the case how come everything ran fine on tuesday night?
Any help gets beers.
THanks

When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services ?
example : Report name : Testreport
Exported file should be : Testingreport-November-22-2007.pdf
please help me in this
Thanks

What I would LIKE to do is noted in the subject line. What I'm findingis that "edit SQL" appears to only be an option if I am creating atable. If I select "append to" the option to edit SQL shades itself asunavailable.The reason I'd like this is that there is a datum in the flat file thatindicates whether that record should be appended to that table notedabove. There are other ways of dealing with this "problem" but it wouldbe nice to be able to control it using SQL, in the DTS import/exportwizard.If the source of my data is an SQL table, I can generate an SQL queryto specify what fields to import in an append, to check for existingvalues, etc...Is there a way around this? I can reserve a table for data transfers,regularly overwrite it with new data from text file inputs, and use SQLto insert select fields from that transfer table to other databasetables. (From this "transfer" table, data needs to be inserted intofour separate tables in our database).I hope this is clear. If it CAN'T be done this way, it's okay...just alittle ugly with the need to re-create the transfer table.

Hello guys,
here is my issue.
I created a ssis package which exports the data from oledb source to flat file (csv format). For this i have OLEDB source and Flat File as destination. I generate the file and filename dynamically with the column names in the first row. So if the dynamically generated file name already exists , then i want to append the data in the same existing file. But I dont want to append the column names again. I just want to append the rows to the existing rows.
so lets say first time i generate a file called File1_3132008.csv.
Col1, Col2
1,2
3,4
After some days if my ssis package generates the same file name i.e. File1_3132008.csv, this time i just want to append the rows to the existing file. So the file should look like this-
Col1, Col21,23,45,67,8
But instead my file looks like this if i set Overwrite propery to false
Col1,Col2
1,2
3,4
Col1,Col2
5,6
7,8
Can anyone help me to get the file as shown in the highlighed
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks

The value of one of the columns in my table is 14000 lines(678913 characters). The datatype of that column is varchar(MAX). I am doing the following select query but its truncating the results.
select value -- this is truncating the text.
from dbo.GUISETTINGS
The length is shown as below when I do the query:
SELECT DATALENGTH(VALUE) from dbo.GUISETTINGS -- return 707951 as the length.
I even tried running the query below but still the value is getting truncated. However, if I right-click and select "Save Results As" a file, then it shows all the lines/characters fine.
select value, cast(value as text), cast(value as varchar(max))
from dbo.GUISETTINGS
How can I get whole column value ?

I have a query below which filters detail field in the #TempLogins table. The details field is a text field which contains many types of text strings, some containing urls that have parts like "ResultID=5" which is what is contained in the ResultIDSearch and ResultSetIDSearch fields. The records with entries like "ResultID=5" are the ones I'm trying to filter for.
The problem I have is that the query takes way too long to run. The TempLogin table has around 200 K records and the TempSearch table has around 80 K records.
select * from #TempLogins a where exists
(select 1 from #TempSearch t1 where
a.detail like '%' + t1.ResultIDSearch + '%'
or
a.detail like '%' + t1.ResultSetIDSearch + '%')
