SQLCMD Command Prompt Window Not Functioning Properly
Sep 15, 2007
The MSDN Library topic Using the sqlcmd utility(SQL Server Express) states "To access the sqlcmd utility, click Start, click Run, and type sqlcmd.exe."
A command prompt window opens with "SQLCMD" in the title bar. I cannot enter anything in the command prompt window and the window remains open for only about five or six seconds.
The version I have installed is MS SQL Server 2005 Express with SP2. The cumulative updates package 3 does not list this problem, so I did not install it.

Hi All
Can someone help me please?
ive just got a new machine and not had this problem before, at one point the error which appeared briefly before the command prompt window disappeared said it was the namepipe, so i enabled this, that didnt work so i uninstalled, and reinstalled SQL Server 2005.
The next error message i received when the command prompt was closing was (in brief)
HRESULT 0xFFFFFFF Level 16, State 1
an error occurred whilst establishing a connection to the server
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I have just updated to sql server 2008 and the same thing happened. I cant paste into the SQLCMD window and I havent got a 1> command prompt.
I tried to drop down into dos prompt and it wouldn't accept it said "the filename, directory name or volume syntax is incorrect".
I turned on iis, ive tried everything I can think of, i have come to the conclusion it must be something to do with the version of Windows Vista Home Premium I am running, I haven't had any problems on any other machines XP or Vista.
Any help would be gratefully accepted.
Cheers

I try to go to a command prompt to get this to run right with no luck. Is there something that I am not doing right? It gives me the help library, but thats about it. Also, I have dealt with Oracle in the past. And was wondering is there a way to access the SQLCMD utility on a workstation with a login of some kind?

I have a Microsoft SQL server that is setup, and inside it is a job. Inside the job is a bunch of lines of transact sql statements.
I would like to be able to start the job from the command prompt. Moreover, I do not want to have to create new files or modify anything that is existing. I just want to be able to have it set up so that a new user who installs the server and all of the job on their machine fresh, can just punch in the command to run the job.
I know I can copy the transact sql statements from the job, and run them through the command prompt, but that would be a poor way to do it, because if the statements in the job were ever modified, with this task being automated, the command prompt statements would be out of date.
So I just need a way to start the existing job from the command prompt. Is this possible? Maybe with OSQL?

Hi,
I try to backup DB (DatabaseA) in ServerA using sqlmaint utility in command prompt.
The sqlmaint.exe does reside in ..MssqlBinn Folder.
Below is the command i used (MS-DOS):
..Binn>sqlmaint -S ServerA -U "sa" -P "########" -D DatabaseA
-BkUpDB C:Temp -HtmlRpt BackupRpt.html
When I execute the command, it only shows a list of the commands as if I execute -? command. There's NO any other messages that indicate the backup command is being executed.
When I check in the C:Temp folder, there's no BackupRpt.html file.
Anyone got any idea?
Thanks.

I need to verify a csv file exists before I call a stored procedure to complete a bulk insert. The first step in the SP will be to verify the file exists (that particular "Job" step did not fail). I have only one step in the job that I have set the type as "Operating System (CmdExec)" and the Command is "Dir C:NAFCDMDataShipmentsCooperShipments.csv". When I execute the job manually to verify the proper operation I receive the error listed below. I know the path and file name are correct as I originally typed in the UNC, when it failed I copied it from the Address bar. I attempted to move the file to the root location without success. I attempted to use another file. I have attempted to rename the file. The DBAs will not allow me to use the SP_cmdshell stored procedure (that was my first thought).
I added 'Everyone' with Full Access to the root folder and propagated these permissions to all containing folders. This again did not allow the job to run. I changed the statment to "REN C:NAFCDMShipmentsShipment.csv Shipment1.csv". I continue to get the same error. Can someone Please point me in a direction to fix this problem?
"The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x71D51027F920A140A2913234DB7FF509
(reason: The system cannot find the file specified). The step failed.
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 1 (Verify the File's Existance)."

I am not sure if this has been asked before but I couldn't find any thread talking about this.
Let's say we have a parameter in the .sql input file called @Start_Date, how can we pass the value of a particular date, for example, "02-28-2007" to @Start_Date via SQLCMD? is it possible?
I'm trying to skip the need to write a simple windows application...if things can be achieved via dos command line, that will keep everything simple!
thanks! :)

Scenario:
I have installed SQL Express 2005 and I want to create a new DB using sqlcmd.
I am running a command like: sqlcmd -i file.ini (I am logged like Administrator of PC)
the content of the file.ini is:
-- Get the SQL Server data path
DECLARE @data_path nvarchar(256);
SET @data_path = 'c:Program FilesMyTestdatabase'
-- execute the CREATE DATABASE statement
EXECUTE ('CREATE DATABASE DataCollection ON
( NAME = DC_dat,
FILENAME = '''+ @data_path + 'DC.mdf'',
SIZE = 10,
MAXSIZE = 50,
FILEGROWTH = 5 )
LOG ON
( NAME = DC_log,
FILENAME = '''+ @data_path + 'DClog.ldf'',
SIZE = 5MB,
MAXSIZE = 25MB,
FILEGROWTH = 5MB )'
) ;
GO
I obtain this error:
Msg 1802, Level 16, State 4, Server TESTQ5SQLEXPRESS, Line 1
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.
Msg 5123, Level 16, State 1, Server TESTQ5SQLEXPRESS, Line 1
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(Access is denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'c:Program FilesMyTestdatabaseDC.mdf'.
If I change the security of directory database (I add "modify" permission to Users windows group) the error disappear.
I am logged like Administrator... why is it necessary to change directory permission?
