I have built my database project for SQL Server 2012. And I am using following command to prepare deployment script,
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /Action:Script /TargetDatabaseName:DacPacTest1 /TargetServerName:"demo2012util" /SourceFile:"C:\some\path\DBProject\Database\sql\debug\Database.dacpac" /op:"C:\some\path\DBProject\test2.sql"
I am getting this error
*** Could not load package from 'C:\some\path\DBProject\Database\sql\debug\Database.dacpac'. Could
not find a part of the path
'C:\some\path\DBProject\Database\sql\debug\Database.dacpac'.
It appears that I might have wrong database target and this error is because of that, but I have verified that I have built project using SQL Server 2012 as target and SQLPackage.exe is also same SQL Server version (110).
Any suggestions?
I have database backup file with extension .bacpac so how can i restore it in sql server 2014 ?
Two options:
In SQL Server Management Studio, right-click on the Databases folder in the Object Explorer tree. Then click on "Import Data-tier application". The wizard will guide you through the process.
From the command line, run this command: "c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft sql server\120\dac\bin\sqlpackage.exe" /a:import /sf:"PATH_TO_YOUR_BACPAC_FILE" /tcs:"Data Source=YOUR_SERVER_NAME;Initial Catalog=NEW_DATABASE_NAME;Integrated Security=true"
Aside: Note that the example connection string in the command line option above assumes you're using Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server authentication to access the server.
Before my migration from MSDE (SQL Server 2000) to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, I used the following sentence to take a backup of my database :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Binn>sqlmaint.exe
-S \"(local)\\SQLEXPRESS"\
-D \"DB Name"\
-BkUpDB \#"C:\Documents and Settings\emmug\Application Data\CalibrationSystem\Backup"\
-BkUpMedia DISK
But now, I get this error :
Microsoft (R) SQLMaint Utility (Unicode), Version 10.0.1600.22
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
The SQLDMO 'Application' object failed to initialize (specific error: One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.)
So I saw that SQLDMO was not supported in SQL Server 2008 R2 but I could use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components. Unfortunately, that doesn't work.
Microsoft now uses SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) but there don't give any code sample to help me.
So is there somebody know a solution for my issue ?
Thanks

You can use SQLCMD.exe, e.g
SQLCMD.exe -S "(local)\SQLEXPRESS" -Q"BACKUP DATABASE dbName TO DISK = 'C:\Documents and Settings\emmug\Application Data\CalibrationSystem\Backup\dbname.bak'"
A while back I installed SQL Server 2008 on a development machine which already had Sql Server 2005 express from Visual Studio. When I look in my programs, I see 'Microsoft Sql Server 2008', which contains the management studio, etc. As well I can see 'MS Sql Server 2005'.
When I run a query in Management Studio 2008 to select the version running on my machine, it comes up as 2005, and leaves me scratching my head. When I look in the configuration manager, all I see is the SQLEXPRESS instance running ...
Are there any "quick" solutions to get 2008 running instead of 2005, considering 2008 is installed?
If your using the SQL Server 2005 Configuration Manager you will only see 2005 instances and lower.
To view instances of SQL Server 2008 you will want to make sure you are using SQL Sever 2008 Configuration Manager.
The final option would be to View All services using the Service Control Manager. Here you will need to look at what instances of SQL Server you have running on the machine.
If you want to find all the instance names, one way is to run powershell and execute the following
PS C:\> gwmi win32_service -filter "name like 'MSSQL%'" | fl DisplayName, pathname
For me the result is
DisplayName : SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)
pathname : "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\B
inn\sqlservr.exe" -sSQLEXPRESS
DisplayName : SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS2005)
pathname : "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Binn\sqlserv
r.exe" -sSQLEXPRESS2005
DisplayName : SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER)
pathname : "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\
Binn\fdlauncher.exe" -s MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER
DisplayName : SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)
pathname : "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\
Binn\sqlservr.exe" -sMSSQLSERVER
DisplayName : SQL Server Active Directory Helper
pathname : "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqladhlp90.exe"
DisplayName : SQL Active Directory Helper Service
pathname : "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\SQLADHLP.EXE"
DisplayName : SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)
pathname : "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS10.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\bi
n\msmdsrv.exe" -s "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS10.M
SSQLSERVER\OLAP\Config"
Look for the one that has MSSQL10 and make sure that the service is started. Then use that instance name when connecting via SSMS.
If for some reason you didn't install into the default structure you can always visit the Exe directly and check its version for something like 2007.100.xxx
I happen to have 2005 and 2008 express as well as 2008 standard
If I was better at PowerShell I would have piped the PathName to get the version info
Our database server had run out of disk space, after freeing up some disk space any query run in sql server management studio, with the results sent to grid view, resulted in this error:
An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: The directory name is invalid.
When the results sent to text view the queries worked fine.
Does anyone know why this error occurs and how to get rid of it?
All you need to do is to open command prompt and type:
mkdir %temp% and press Enter.
Simple as that. No logout/login required.
Received the message:
SQL Server - An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: The directory name is invalid
When trying to execute a query in Management Studio after deleting temp files from c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp
Resolved when logging out of server session and back in again.
This resolution fixes this error on the following environments:
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2012
Sql Server 2005
Sql Server 2008
Sql Server 2008 R2
Sql Server 2012
Sql Server 2014
Sql Server 2016
I had similar problem on SQL Server 2012. I checked the folder value in %TEMP% variable (echo %TEMP% from command prompt ) and noticed that the folder did not exist. I created the folder and it did the trick!
I had this issue on my webserver (windows server r2 running SQL Server 2012)
The directory name is invalid.
(mscore lib)
Logging out (killing my remote session) and logging back in fixed the issue for me.
Is the "Default Location for saving Query Results" set to a valid path in Tools/Options/Query Results/SQL Server/General?
Do the TMP/TEMP environment variables point to valid directories?
Reinstalling the client tools will probably fix the problem.
I had this same issue on my Windows 7 machine. I actually encountered the error both in SQL Server Management Studio and Visual Studio 2012. I checked my temp directory and found over 66,000 files. Significantly, there were a large number of files called tmpXXXX.tmp where XXXX was a hex number. The problem was that the files went all the way up to tmpFFFF.tmp. So whatever was creating the temp files was not cleaning them up properly and eventually just ran out of files. The solution was to delete all the files in that folder. Not surprisingly, this also greatly improved performance.
The temp folder can be found at: %TEMP% which will be correct for both XP and Win7.
I was facing this problem for a long time.....simple answer for this problem An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: The directory name is invalid is just free up the disk drive space ....my problem resloved by this may be this will be helpful for many more...
I faced the same problem if DB was created in SQL Server 2008 and it was opened by SQL Server 2005. Just reopen it in 2008.
I was facing the same problem,
so to check this i typed %temp% and it gives an error for folder not found .../temp/2
so i created a folder name 2 inside temp folder and restart the sql server.
which works for me.
I know it can sound like a joke, but have you tried restarting SQL Server instance?
Yesterday i faced the same error "The directory name is invalid" when i tried to open New Query Window in SQL Management Studio 2014. It happened after cleaning (deleting) %temp% folder files.
I Restarted SQL services but no luck!
My problem was solved after restarting the server.
