How to execute the SQL Script through Batch Script Command from SQL? - sql

I am trying to execute the .sql file from batch script, but not able to execute.
Script has multiple scripts such as Create Table , Stored Procedure separated by GO statement.
I tried with the below script, however script was not executed.
DB Servername : localhost\SQL2017
Authentication : Windows
sqlcmd -E -S localhost\SQL2017\MyDatabase -i C:\SQLScripts\TestScript.sql

Try this instead:
sqlcmd -E -S localhost\SQL2017 -d MyDatabase -i C:\SQLScripts\TestScript.sql
You need to use the -d parameter to specify the database name. The -S parameter should contain only the server name and the instance.

Run large SQL query from a bat file

I am trying to run a monthly extract from a SQL Express DB using a .bat file called from windows scheduler and the SQL query is large (about 50 lines) and I can't work out how to include such a large script in the bat file without it all being flattened out into one (long) single row of text. Is there a carriage return (or similar) command that I can use to keep the query in the readable SQL format like I have below?
SELECT a.[Application_Number]
,case when c_MNI >0 then
100*(a.monthly_living_allowance +
a.New_Home_Loan_Repayment_Amount +
c_mc)/c_MNI
else 0 end as nsr_calc
,a.[FIN_Total_Net_Service_Ratio] as NSR
,a.Total_Annual_Income_Gross_Total as Annual_Gross
,a.fin_total_annual_income_net1 as Annual_Net
,C_MNI as MNI
,C_MC as MC
,a.[monthly_living_allowance] as MLA
,a.[Manual_MLA]
,a.[Manual_MLA_Flag] ....etc etc...
You can use sqlcmd in your bat file. Put your SQL script in a file, let's say it's DoSomeQuery.sql. Then call sqlcmd in your bat file like this:
sqlcmd -S servername -U user -P password -d DB_Name -i DoSomeQuery.sql
If you have multiple sql files, you can use for command in your bat file like this:
for /r . %%f in (*.sql) do sqlcmd -S servername -U user -P password -d DB_Name -i "%%f"

Cannot execute script: Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program

I have a 123MB sql file which I need to execute in my local PC. But I am getting
Cannot execute script: Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program
How to solve this issue?
use the command-line tool SQLCMD which is much leaner on memory. It is as simple as:
SQLCMD -d <database-name> -i filename.sql
You need valid credentials to access your SQL Server instance or even to access a database
Taken from here.
It might help you! Please see below steps.
sqlcmd -S server-name -d database-name -i script.sql
Open cmd.exe as Administrator.
Create Documents directory.
Put your SQL Script file(script.sql) in the documents folder.
Type query with sqlcmd, server-name, database-name and script-file-name as like above highlighted query or below command line screen.
For Windows Authentication use this sql cmd
SQLCMD -S TestSQLServer\SQLEXPRESS -d AdventureWorks2018 -i "d:\document\sql document\script.sql"
Note: If there is any space in the sql file path then use " (Quotation marks) "
For SQL Server Authentication use this sql cmd
SQLCMD -S TestSQLServer\SQLEXPRESS -U sa -P sasa -d AdventureWorks2018 -i "d:\document\sql document\script.sql"
-S TestSQLServer\SQLEXPRESS: Here specify SQL Server Name
-U sa: Username (in case of SQL Server Authentication)
-P sasa: Password (in case of SQL Server Authentication)
-d AdventureWorks2018: Database Name come here
-i "d:\document\sql document\script.sql": File Path of SQLFile
You can also simply increase the Minimum memory per query value in server properties. To edit this setting, right click on server name and select Properties > Memory tab.
I encountered this error trying to execute a 30MB SQL script in SSMS 2012. After increasing the value from 1024MB to 2048MB I was able to run the script.
(This is the same answer I provided here)
My database was larger than 500mb, I then used the following
C:\Windows>sqlcmd -S SERVERNAME -U USERNAME -P PASSWORD -d DATABASE -i C:\FILE.sql
It loaded everything including SP's
*NB: Run the cmd as Administrator
If I understand your problem correctly, you are trying to restore (transact sql) xyz.sql - database + schema. You can try this command which worked for me:
SQLCMD -U sa -i xyz.sql
Try this step,
1)Open PowerShell
2)Write this command:
sqlcmd -S PCNAME\SQLEXPRESS -U user -P password -d databanse_name -i C:\script.sql
3)Press Return

Below script works perfectly:
sqlcmd -s Server_name -d Database_name -E -i c:\Temp\Recovery_script.sql -x
Symptoms:
When executing a recovery script with sqlcmd utility, the ‘Sqlcmd: Error: Syntax error at line XYZ near command ‘X’ in file ‘file_name.sql’.’ error is encountered.
Cause:
This is a sqlcmd utility limitation. If the SQL script contains dollar sign ($) in any form, the utility is unable to properly execute the script, since it is substituting all variables automatically by default.
Resolution:
In order to execute script that has a dollar ($) sign in any form, it is necessary to add “-x” parameter to the command line.
e.g.
Original:
sqlcmd -s Server_name -d Database_name -E -i c:\Temp\Recovery_script.sql
Fixed:
sqlcmd -s Server_name -d Database_name -E -i c:\Temp\Recovery_script.sql -x
Sometimes, due to the heavy size of the script and data, we encounter this type of error. Server needs sufficient memory to execute and give the result. We can simply increase the memory size, per query.
You just need to go to the sql server properties > Memory tab (left side)> Now set the maximum memory limit you want to add.
Also, there is an option at the top, "Results to text", which consume less memory as compare to option "Results to grid", we can also go for Result to Text for less memory execution.
sqlcmd -S mamxxxxxmu\sqlserverr -U sa -P x1123 -d QLDB -i D:\qldbscript.sql
Open command prompt in run as administrator
enter above command
"mamxxxxxmu" is computer name
"sqlserverr" is server name
"sa" is username of server
"x1123" is password of server
"QLDB" is database name
"D:\qldbscript.sql" is sql script file to execute in database
If you need to connect to LocalDB during development, you can use:
sqlcmd -S "(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB" -d dbname -i file.sql
As in most answers given here use the command-line tool. In my case the script already has database creation code. If your script contains CREATE DATABASE command, for example
USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [your-database-name]
Then do not use the -d your-database-name, instead use the following command.
For Windows Authentication use the command
sqlcmd -S ServerName\InstanceName -i "script.sql" -x
For SQL Server Authentication use the command
sqlcmd -S ServerName\InstanceName -U usename -P password -i "script.sql" -x

How to execute a sql script from a url?

I have 10 sql scripts lying on 10 SVN urls.
I want to write a single sql script which execute those 10 svn sql scripts.
for example, http://svn/s1.sql, http://svn/s1.sq2, ....
I want to write a single sql which does like execute http://svn/s1.sql, execute http://svn/s2.sql, etc
How can I do it?
You can run all the .SQL files using sqlcmd
First Create a Batch file and Paste the below coding in that batch file :
sqlcmd -S ServerName -U Username -P password -i c:\s1.sql -o C:\s1.txt
sqlcmd -S ServerName -U Username -P password -i c:\s2.sql -o C:\s2.txt
sqlcmd -S ServerName -U Username -P password -i c:\s3.sql -o C:\s3.txt
sqlcmd -S ServerName -U Username -P password -i c:\s4.sql -o C:\s4.txt
Execute the Batch file from SQL Server like below..
EXEC master..xp_CMDShell 'c:filename.bat'
You can also refer the Below link for running batch file..
SQL SERVER – Running Batch File Using T-SQL – xp_cmdshell bat file
You would need to write a program that downloads the files, reads them in line by line, appends them internally and executes the whole batch.
It would be a huge security hole, if you could execute SQL scripts by calling a url in your browser.

Executing series of SQL commands on the command line

I want to run a series of SQL statements against a SQL Server 2005 database from the command line.
When I launch 1st statement
osql -E -S <Server_Name>\<Instance_Name> -d <Server_Name>
it is going to prompt window 1> from there after I am unable to proceed further through script.
How to give input to 1> prompt I mean giving next SQL statement
BACKUP DATABASE TO DISK = 'c:\test.bak' WITH INIT,SKIP
and finally exit to that prompt
I tried with && but I guess that is for only commandline commands.
You ae looking for the -Q switch on the sqlcmd tool (don't use osql on sqlserver 2005 or higher) (type sqlcmd /? to see all options) or lookit up on msdn
sqlcmd -E -S <Server_Name>\<Instance_Name> -d <Server_Name> -Q "BACKUP DATABASE TO DISK = 'c:\test.bak' WITH INIT,SKIP"
Alternatively you can create a sqlscript file where you put all the sql statements in you want to execute. Assuming you name your file myscript.sql the osql command would go like this:
sqlcmd -E -S <Server_Name>\<Instance_Name> -d <Server_Name> -i myscript.sql
Perhaps you may want to try a small trick that emerged from other question in this forum (that was deleted unfortunately).
You may insert the input for a command directly in the lines below the command and then execute the file NOT as Batch file, but as input por cmd.exe (this is similar to a here document in Linux). For example:
script.TXT:
#echo off
osql -E -S <Server_Name>\<Instance_Name> -d <Server_Name>
BACKUP DATABASE TO DISK = 'c:\test.bak' WITH INIT,SKIP
exit
Execute previous "script" this way:
cmd < script.TXT
If you perform this test, please report the result...

How do you execute SQL from within a bash script?

I have some SQL scripts that I'm trying to automate. In the past I have used SQL*Plus, and called the sqlplus binary manually, from a bash script.
However, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to connect to the DB, and call the script from inside of the bash script... so that I can insert date and make the queries run relative to a certain number of days in the past.
I'm slightly confused. You should be able to call sqlplus from within the bash script. This may be what you were doing with your first statement
Try Executing the following within your bash script:
#!/bin/bash
echo Start Executing SQL commands
sqlplus <user>/<password> #file-with-sql-1.sql
sqlplus <user>/<password> #file-with-sql-2.sql
If you want to be able to pass data into your scripts you can do it via SQLPlus by passing arguments into the script:
Contents of file-with-sql-1.sql
select * from users where username='&1';
Then change the bash script to call sqlplus passing in the value
#!/bin/bash
MY_USER=bob
sqlplus <user>/<password> #file-with-sql-1.sql $MY_USER
You can also use a "here document" to do the same thing:
VARIABLE=SOMEVALUE
sqlplus connectioninfo << HERE
start file1.sql
start file2.sql $VARIABLE
quit
HERE
Here is a simple way of running MySQL queries in the bash shell
mysql -u [database_username] -p [database_password] -D [database_name] -e "SELECT * FROM [table_name]"
Maybe you can pipe SQL query to sqlplus. It works for mysql:
echo "SELECT * FROM table" | mysql --user=username database
I've used the jdbcsql project on Sourceforge.
On *nix systems, this will create a csv stream of results to standard out:
java -Djava.security.egd=file///dev/urandom -jar jdbcsql.jar -d oracledb_SID -h $host -p 1521 -U some_username -m oracle -P "$PW" -f excel -s "," "$1"
Note that adding the -Djava.security.egd=file///dev/urandom increases performance greatly
Windows commands are similar: see http://jdbcsql.sourceforge.net/
If you do not want to install sqlplus on your server/machine then the following command-line tool can be your friend. It is a simple Java application, only Java 8 that you need in order to you can execute this tool.
The tool can be used to run any SQL from the Linux bash or Windows command line.
Example:
java -jar sql-runner-0.2.0-with-dependencies.jar \
-j jdbc:oracle:thin:#//oracle-db:1521/ORCLPDB1.localdomain \
-U "SYS as SYSDBA" \
-P Oradoc_db1 \
"select 1 from dual"
Documentation is here.
You can download the binary file from here.
As Bash doesn't have built in sql database connectivity... you will need to use some sort of third party tool.
