I want to a .txt file that contains a sql script via ssms SQLCMD query window.
Could someone give me an example.
I can run via pc CMD successfully using the following.
sqlcmd.exe -S pcName -E -i "C:\Users\user\Documents\SqlCmdTest.txt"
But how to do the same in SSMS SQLCMD please??
OR a .sql file ??
Regards
Rob
Found Answer in the following post
How can I execute a set of .SQL files from within SSMS?
within SSMS SQLCMD mode
:setvar path "c:\Path_to_scripts"
:r $(path)\file1.sql
:r $(path)\file2.sql

I have a .sql file with a content of insert queries for all tables of my database.
This file is 12 GB in size. I tried to open it with Notepad++, SQL Server Management Studio, and also with chrome browser, but the file is very long. I cant' open it.
How can I import it into my database directly without opening the file and execute the queries?
What is the proper way to do this?
you need to use sqlcmd , the documentation has a full explanation of how to use it but here is a quick sample how to use it, you need to install sqlcmd utility first then open up your cmd command prompt and type the command like this :
sqlcmd -S DBSERVER\TESTINSTANCE -d DATABASENAME -U USERNAME -P PASSWORD -i "D:/InsertData.sql"
I have .sql file which contains millions of Insert commands, and they are having insert statements to be inserted into different tables. When I am executing by opening in SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT it says
Insufficient memory to continue the execution of program
You can save the SQL in a file and execute it from the command line using sqlcmd. For example:
sqlcmd -S myServer\instanceName -i C:\myScript.sql
Please note: If your instance is a default instance (i.e. the instance name is MSSQLSERVER), then do not specify it as part of the sqlcmd parameters. To connect to the default instance, simply specify the server name. For example:
sqlcmd -S myServer -i C:\myScript.sql
I would suggest you try running the .sql from the command line (sqlcmd.exe) instead of loading it in SSMS.
SQLCMD - MSDN Link
I am running OSQL command in .bat file and I am running my SQL script and generating the output in a text file, however the data in the file is scattered and I want to generate the file in the same format as i can generate via SQL Server manually.
I have also tried with .rpt and .txt format but still facing the same issue.
So if anyone can suggest any command or any alternative way, so that I can generate the file same as I am generating manually through SQL server.
Any suggestions or idea is appreciated.
Thanks.
You can use some options like -s "," to separate your columns by a comma. In my following example I am executing a store procedure from command line. e.g :
osql -E -Q "SET NOCOUNT ON;EXECUTE REPORTDB.[DBO].[SP_LOAD_USERDATA] %date%" -o C:\ADELPHE\OUTPUT_FOLDER\_%date%.txt -w 700 -s","
Have a look on this manual.
Is there anyway to run a stored proc from cmd.exe ?
p.s.
I know how to create exec file c# and to run it.
I'm asking without any code :
Just me and cmd.exe.
edit
me and cmd.exe : meaning I don't want to write any code. Internal SQL Server help exe files of sql is fine !
sorry for not clarifying this !
Try using the SQLCMD Utility :
An example:
sqlcmd -E -S server_name -d database_name -Q "EXEC schema.storedprocedure parameter01, parameter02"
If you'd like to explore other options I'd like to share this link:
Command Prompt Utilities: Applicable for SQL Server 2005
For sql server 2005+ use its SQLCMD utility, as #Nonim answered
for versions prior to 2005 use its OSQL utility, its usage is similar to SQLCMD
Wrap it into the .cmd file and you're in! No needs to write something, just click'n'go! 8-)
C# files are not executable. But the compiled program from them is.
CMD is not C# parser neither SQL client. From the CMD you call a program that serves a file. You and CMD can navigate to drive A: to execute file there, to delete files and so on.
CMD is emulated environment of DOS, which is also OS - you need a program to execute the SQL queries. See this (Sqlcmd program of SQL Server):

I am running sql server 2008 express and i need to schedule some stored procedures to run nightly...so i have built out these .sql files which i would want to run from .bat file...i need to know the command to execute these .sql files one by one and store their results i guess...can anyone help me out?
I answered this in this other question:
You should invoke the sqlcmd command-line tool from your batch file. Assuming your sql file is "backup.sql", the command line would be something like:
sqlcmd -E -S yoursqlinstance -i backup.sql
-E uses trusted connection, replace with -U and -P if you need to specify a SQL username and password. See also this article with examples.
See the sqlcmd utility:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165702.aspx
This allows you to run sql scripts from the command line
osql:
http://www.di-mgt.com.au/osqlUtility.htm
I don't use SQL Server, but a batch file is just a list of DOS commands. So whatever you use to execute SQL files from the commandline can be used in a batch file.
A quick google search turns up:
sqlcmd -i <inputfile> -o <outputfile>
Hope this helps you :
sqlplus UserName/Password#DataBase #C:\sqlFolder\sqlFile.sql
P.S : Don't forget to add the command "commit;" at the end of sql file (sqlFile.sql), this command order Oracle to save performed changes in database
