I have a small sql query(which uses Wbexport utility) that I need to run daily. I want to automate this task so I am thinking to write a batch file and schedule it using windows task scheduler. Could someone tell me how to run a sql query/.sql file from command line in SQL Workbench/J?
This is documented in the manual
You need to put the query you want to run in a .sql script and then pass the name of the script on the commandline:
java -jar sqlworkbench.jar -script=run_export.sql -profile=...
or
SQLWorkbench64.exe -script=run_export.sql -profile=...
There are various ways to define the connection, either through the -profile parameter or by specifying the complete connection information. When using the profile parameter you need to make sure that the profiles are stored in the default location or specify the location where the profiles are stored.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 currently. I have a .sql file on my computer which has a lot of sql statements of code in it. Basically has three create table statements, multiple insert into statements, multiple alter table statements,adding foreign keys, etc.
I want to know is there a way that I can load that .sql file into an Execute SQL Task. Or how is it possible, in SSIS, that I can execute this long .sql file? I feel like an Execute SQL Task is involved, but I don't know for sure. This was the Execute SQL Task I tried before to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have some screenshots basically to show how long of a file I'm talking about...and it goes longer than what is shown.
Execute SQL Task will be what runs commands.
Change the SQL Source type from the default of "Direct Input" to "File Connection"
Then in the FileConnection property, specify a file connection manager that points to MyFile.sql
That said, you can just run the above file(s) in SSMS, or sqlcmd if you prefer a command line
does the sql file contain parameterised insert statements? if so you need to have map the parameters and check that the source to which you are connecting is accessible and the structure of the tables are same as well
I am using Aqua Data Studio 7.0.39 for my Database Stuff.
I have a 20 SQL files(all contains sql statements, obviously).
I want to execute all rather than copy-paste contains for each.
Is there any way in Aqua to do such things.
Note: I am using Sybase
Thank you !!
I'm also not sure of how to do this in Aqua, but it's very simple to create a batch/powershell script to execute .sql files
You can use the SAP/Sybase isql utility to execute files, and just create a loop to cover all the files you wish to execute.

In the latest versions of ADS there is an integrated shell named FluidShell where you can achieve what you are looking for. See an overview here: https://www.aquaclusters.com/app/home/project/public/aquadatastudio/wikibook/Documentation15/page/246/FluidShell
The command you are looking for is source
source
NAME
source - execute commands or SQL statements from a file
SYNOPSIS
source [OPTION...] FILE [ARGUMENT...]
source [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
Read and execute commands or SQL statements from FILE in the current shell environment.
I have not used Aquafold before so I can't tell you exactly. However I have tackled a similar problem once before.
I once created a Powershell script. It opened a ODBC connection to my database and then executed stored procedures in a loop until end of file.
I suggest having a text document with each line being the name of an Stored Proc to run. Then in your powershell script read in a line from the file concatenate it into the call to execute a stored procedure. After each execution is completed you can delete the line from the text file and then read the next line until the EOF (end of file) is reached.
Hope this helps. If I have some time this morning I will try and do a working example for you and post it.
I would like to execute sql files generated by the service builder, but the problem is that the sql files contains types like: LONG,VARCHAR... etc
Some of these types don't exist on Postgresql (for example LONG is Bigint).
I don't know if there is a simple way to convert sql file's structures to be able to run them on Postgresql?
execute ant build-db on the plugin and you will find sql folder with vary vendor specific scripts.
Daniele is right, using build-db task is obviously correct and is the right way to do it.
But... I remember a similar situation some time ago, I had only liferay-pseudo-sql file and need to create proper DDL. I managed to do this in the following way:
You need to have Liferay running on your desktop (or in the machine where is the source sql file), as this operation requires portal spring context fully wired.
Go to Configuration -> Server Administration -> Script
Change language to groovy
Run the following script:
import com.liferay.portal.kernel.dao.db.DB
import com.liferay.portal.kernel.dao.db.DBFactoryUtil
DB db = DBFactoryUtil.getDB(DB.TYPE_POSTGRESQL)
db.buildSQLFile("/path/to/folder/with/your/sql", "filename")
Where first parameter is obviously the path and the second is filename without .sql extension. The file on disk should have proper extension: must be called filename.sql.
This will produce tables folder next to your filename.sql which will contain single tables-postgresql.sql with your Postgres DDL.
As far as I remember, Service Builder uses the same method to generate database-specific code.
I have a .sql file and I am trying to import it into SQL Server 2008. What is the proper way to do this?
If your file is a large file, 50MB+, then I recommend you use sqlcmd, the command line utility that comes bundled with SQL Server. It is easy to use and it handles large files well. I tried it yesterday with a 22GB file using the following command:
sqlcmd -S SERVERNAME\INSTANCE_NAME -i C:\path\mysqlfile.sql -o C:\path\output_file.txt
The command above assumes that your server name is SERVERNAME, that you SQL Server installation uses the instance name INSTANCE_NAME, and that windows auth is the default auth method. After execution output.txt will contain something like the following:
...
(1 rows affected)
Processed 100 total records
(1 rows affected)
Processed 200 total records
(1 rows affected)
Processed 300 total records
...
use readfileonline.com if you need to see the contents of huge files.

If you are talking about an actual database (an mdf file) you would Attach it
.sql files are typically run using SQL Server Management Studio. They are basically saved SQL statements, so could be anything. You don't "import" them. More precisely, you "execute" them. Even though the script may indeed insert data.
Also, to expand on Jamie F's answer, don't run a SQL file against your database unless you know what it is doing. SQL scripts can be as dangerous as unchecked exe's
Start SQL Server Management Studio
Connect to your database
File > Open > File and pick your file
Execute it
Try this process -
Open the Query Analyzer
Start --> Programs --> MS SQL Server --> Query Analyzer
Once opened, connect to the database that you are wish running the script on.
Next, open the SQL file using File --> Open option. Select .sql file.
Once it is open, you can execute the file by pressing F5.
In order to import your .sql try the following steps
Start SQL Server Management Studio
Connect to your Database
Open the Query Editor
Drag and Drop your .sql File into the editor
Execute the import
A .sql file is a set of commands that can be executed against the SQL server.
Sometimes the .sql file will specify the database, other times you may need to specify this.
You should talk to your DBA or whoever is responsible for maintaining your databases. They will probably want to give the file a quick look. .sql files can do a lot of harm, even inadvertantly.
See the other answers if you want to plunge ahead.
Get the names of the server and database in SSMS:
Run the following command in PowerShell or CMD:
sqlcmd -S "[SERVER NAME]" -d [DATABASE NAME] -i .\[SCRIPT].sql
Here is a screenshot of what it might look like:
There is no such thing as importing in MS SQL. I understand what you mean. It is so simple. Whenever you get/have a something.SQL file, you should just double click and it will directly open in your MS SQL Studio.
Suppose I have wrote script Table_ABC.sql which creates table ABC. I have created many such scripts for each of required tables. Now i want to write a script that call all of these script files in a sequence so basically I want another script file createTables.sql. Mysql provides option to execute a script file from "mysql" shell application but could find some command like exec c:/myscripts/mytable.sql. Please tell me if there is any command that can be written in sql script itself to call other one in latest mysql versions or alternative for same.
Thanks
You can use source command. So your script will be something like:
use your_db;
source script/s1.sql;
source script/s2.sql;
-- so on, so forth
