I want to run and 'Alter Database' statement from within a batch file.
The batch file is to be run from an external automation program,
(don't ask why)..
I know the syntax for the alter db statement but not sure how to do it
in a batch file and also If I have 2 instances how do I run it against
each instance.
All being done on Windows 2000 with Sql 2000.
Any ideas will be a help.
Does any know of a technique to filter out headers dashes and row count in an output file of an isql result? These switches seem to be available when running as isql/w, but not the command line. The -h-1 argument for no headers had no effect. Thanks in advance. Ron Hurley

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
A quick newbie question...
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard and upgrade from Express edition. The Edition Change check tells me I must run the setup from the command prompt "and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter", but I don't know how to enter this from the command line.
I've tried "D:setup SKUUPGRADE=1" and "D:setup -SKUUPGRADE=1", as well as "D:setup.exe /SKUUPGRADE=1" without success.
Can anyone give me a clue as to where I'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Are there any parameters for the SQLMANGR program???
I need to start it from the install script, and
have it autostart....
I found a single parameter /n that starts
the program without any display -
But I need it to autostart the server service itself,
so i can do some osql stuff after the installtion is completed.
thanks

When i run the "Command Line" in the "Command window" the error is more expecific
"EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES;" is not valid
So I chanded the "Command Line" in order to run it in de command window(look the double quote in the excel properties)
/FILE "C:ProjectPackage.dtsx" /CONNECTION ConexionExcel;"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Da ta Source=;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EWCDI

What is the correct command line parameters to SQLEXPR32.exe that will default the Log On As: properties for the instance to use the Built-in account of Local System & Local Service?
I need it to be set to Local System immediately on install without having to go into the configuration manager. When I run the SQLEXPR32.exe right now I get the Network Service defaulted.
Thanks for any help,

Microsoft confirmed that the error message "The command line parameters are invalid" issue mentioned above is a bug and has been resolved in the next "drop" of SQL Server 2005.

I am also trying to run the package from command line and when i click on execute the package it runs half way and hangs. What could be the problem????.
But when i run it from my Studio and stored package it works fine!!!

Hello,
I created a SSIS package that has a flat file manager whose connection string is a package variable, the reason is that there is a foreachfile container loop to loop thru CSV format files in a directory and load them to a sql table.
The package execution is working in the designer studio as well as in the management studio-- a copy was saved to a sql 2005 server where a sql job is deployed to run the package. However when I ran the job, it claims successful but doesn€™t do anything in reality. If I checked the box failing the package upon validation warming, the job will fail with the error: the command line parameters are invalid. The command line looks like below:
/SQL "Package" /SERVER FTLQSQL03 /WARNASERROR /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF
One thing that I think maybe wrong is on the data source tab of the job step GUI, the flat file manager€™s connection string is blank, compared to other connection managers having related values.
Does anyone know how to make the job working?
Thanks in advance

I have a Sql agent job which will exeute a SSIS package. While, one of my data sources is an excel file. I scriptted the sql agent job and recreate on a test server, it fails with The command line parameters are invalid.. The command line has the following for the excel data source, and that is the place fails the job. /CONNECTION UserDataExcel;"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\myserverUserDataUserData.xls;Extended Properties=""EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"";" I guess it has something to do with the double-quote inside, Please advise.

Hi All,
I created a SSIS package to import an excel spreadsheet into my data warehouse.
When I run the package it runs fine. When I created a SQL Job to run the package I get the following error:
Option "Source=D:HelpDeskImportBook2.xls;Extended" is not valid. The command line parameters are invalid.
Now if I look at my source connection string in the job it looks like the following:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:HelpDeskImportBook2.xls;Extended Properties=HDR=YES;EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";
Does anyone know why it appears that my connection string looks like it is being cut off and does anyone know how I can correct the problem?
Thanks,
Scott

Using Query Analyzer, I can right click on an object and select "scriptobject to new window as create" and I get the text of the object'sdefinition (schema). Can I get same result from command line, i.e., fromosql, I can get text output for the definition of the object (something likedefncopy under Sybase)? If so, what is the command or store procedure name?Thanks in advance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to insert into a table 2 values one of which is an
exec master..xp_cmdshell @command where I have assigned @command with a value
this statement gives me the result into a 1 col. table fine:
insert into mytable99(col1) exec master..xp_cmdshell @command
now what I want to do is put col2 in there as well!!
ie. insert into mytable99(col1,col2) values (exec master..xp_cmdshell @command, '123')

Could anyone help re the proper way of doing this ... thanks in advance
I use a similar command below to insert into a temp table the result of a large command line call to an exectable with many parameters passed in the command of which the result passed back contains many items. I then parse the response string to get my results...
set @command = 'dir'
insert into tsverisign(response) exec master..xp_cmdshell @command
My question is our can I insert two values at the same time to this same table one of which is my "exec master..xp_cmdshell @command"
similar to insert into tables (field_a, feild_b) values ('1','2')
Something like (and I know this does not work):
insert into tsverisign(response,trans_id)
values (exec master..xp_cmdshell @command, '123')
Any help would be greatly appreciated .... PS I'm new to MS SQL 2000 and proper syntax etc. etc. so I need full example so I can try. :rolleyes:
