I would like to have a BAT file open a sql server script. Currently I have this code in the sql file:
declare #path varchar(255), #mydb varchar(50)
SELECT #mydb = 'timeclockplus'
select #path = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Backup\'
+ #mydb + '-' + convert(varchar(8),getdate(),112) + '.bak'
BACKUP DATABASE #mydb TO DISK = #path
How do I open this SQL file from a BAT file?
I am currently trying to run it like this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\osql -E
-S Sql server-hl7\timeclockplus timeclockplus.sql -oresults.txt
but OSQL does not exist in the BINN directory,
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.
sqlcmd -S 127.0.0.1 /E -i MySqlScript.sql
Replace /E with /U and /P if you don't have trusted connection
If you want a much better answer, here it is:
#echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
:: batch file for sql query
SET FIELDVAL=Empty
SET DBNAME=MYDB
SET SQLSTRING=SELECT column_name(s)^
FROM table_name1^
INNER JOIN table_name2^
ON table_name1.column_name=table_name2.column_name^
AND table_name2.field=%FIELDVAL%
ECHO !SQLSTRING!
ECHO.
sqlcmd.exe -b -S localhost -E -d !DBNAME! -Q "!SQLSTRING!" -W
ECHO Query is done. Hit any key to close this window....

It is necessary to use the bat file to call the sql script and pass two variables into it, but sql complains about them. Asks to declare scalars.
Here is the bat file itself.
#ECHO OFF
echo SET #arg1 := %2, #arg2 := %3; > commands
copy /b commands + %1 + %2 > nul
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Client SDK\ODBC\170\Tools\Binn\sqlcmd.exe" -S DESKTOP-OQ8JGR5 -U SA -P 123 -i %1
And sql script.
USE MVA
SELECT sum(number*price2 - number*price1) AS pribil FROM sale,goods
WHERE id=goods AND datepart(month, date)=#arg1 AND shop=#ar2
you can create a stored procedure and call that via sqlcmd from the bat file. for example:
create procedure [SP_count_up]
(
#input int
)
as
begin
select #input + 1
end
go
and call it in you bat file via
sqlcmd -Q "exec dbo.SP_count_up #input=3" -S <server> -d <database>
I am trying to select data from table and save them info .csv file via .bat file.
My batch runs Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and log me into database, but I am not able to execute sql scripts.
Here is what I have:
#echo off
cls
:begin
set /p SName=Server Name :
set /p DbName=Database Name :
set /p UName=User Name :
set /p DbPWD=Password :
pause
echo Running Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, please wait
call ssms -S %SName% -d %DbName% -U %UName% -P %DbPWD% "select * from MYTABLE" -s "," -o " Export.csv"
echo Done
pause
:end
It does not work after line: ssms -S %SName% -d %DbName% -U %UName% -P %DbPWD%
UPDATE:
Error picture
Thank you
SSMS does not accept an in-line script from the command line, as you are trying to do. Please use SQLCMD for this work. that's why you got the error message.
See SSMS Command Line
Straight from Microsoft
sqlcmd -S <ComputerName>\<InstanceName> -i <MyScript.sql> -o <MyOutput.rpt>
How can I specify an input sql file with a long query when using bcp? I tried using the -i option but it keeps complaining about a command-line error with no extra information. Is this possible?
I had this problem today and found a convenient workaround, at least in an ad-hoc situation.
Temporary tables can be created by any user with connect permissions. This means you can also create GLOBAL temporary tables.
Just run your query in enterprise manager (or sql cmd or whatever) using SELECT ...INTO with a global temporary table e.g.
SELECT *
INTO ##mytemptable
FROM SomeTable
WHERE [massive where clause, for example]
You can then use the temporary table in the BCP query with a simple
SELECT * FROM ##mytemptable
Then drop the temp table through enterprise manager
DROP TABLE ##mytemptable
I did other way for fix that.
I create a batch file which read a file and send your content in bcp command. See:
#ECHO off
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
SET queryFile=%1
SET outFileName=%2
FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN (%queryFile%) DO SET join=!join! %%i
ECHO %join%
bcp "%join%" queryout %outFileName% /S.\SQLE_CAESAR /d /c /t"|" /T
That script receive two parameters:
Filename which has a query;
Filename for export data;
Execute a script in cmd like that:
export-query.bat query.sql export.txt
I hope helped.
As far as I'm concerned the BCP utility only supports Transact-SQL queries directly written to the command line. Ex:
bcp "SELECT Name FROM AdventureWorks.Sales.Currency" queryout Currency.Name.dat -T -c
According to its reference the "-i" option:
Specifies the name of a response file, containing the responses to the command prompt questions for each data field when a bulk copy is being performed using interactive mode (-n, -c, -w, or -N not specified).
Notice that it differs from the sqlcmd Utility "-i" option:
Identifies the file that contains a batch of SQL statements or stored procedures. Multiple files may be specified that will be read and processed in order (...)
try :
query=$( cat < /file.sql )
export query
bcp "${query}" queryout /home/file.csv
Multi-line queries can be given to bcp easily using powershell:
PS> $query = #'
select *
from <table>
'#
PS> bcp $query queryout <outfile> -d <database> -T -S <server> -c
I had face same issue, may not be a very good approach. However, I did something like the following
bcp "declare #query nvarchar(max) set #query = (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'F:\tasks\report_v2.sql', SINGLE_CLOB) AS Contents) exec sp_executesql #query" queryout %outFileName% /c /C RAW -S . -U sa -P 123 -d blog /T
And I must say, if you use like global temp table then global temp table is dropped itself of after query executed. you can't use this at some situations
What really worked for me is this:
#ECHO off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
SET "queryFile=%1"
SET "outFileName=%2"
SET RESULT=
FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ('type %queryFile%') DO SET RESULT=!RESULT! %%i
echo %RESULT%
rem bcp "%RESULT%" queryout %outFileName% -t^ -r \n -T -k -c -d DB_NAME -S SERVER_NAME
type file is the equivalent of cat file in unix
What I did with complex queries was create a stored procedure with the desired statement and call it from BCP:
bcp "exec db.schema.stored_procedure" queryout "c:\file.txt" -T -S localhost -t "|" -c
This worked great for me. Greetings!
I made my own script (called of bulk.sh) to do this (not optimal and not best practice... The script is too ugly, but very functional).
#!/bin/bash
input="SQL_FILE.sql"
count=0
const=1000
lines=()
mkdir -p bulk
while IFS= read -r line
do
lines+=("$line")
count=$((count+1))
check=$((count % const))
if [[ $check -eq 0 ]]; then
bulk="${lines[*]}"
unset lines
number=$(printf "%010d" $count)
echo $bulk > "bulk/bulk${number}.sql"
bulk=""
fi
done < "$input"
FILES="bulk/*"
for f in $FILES
do
echo "Processing $f file..."
sqlcmd -S SERVER -d DATABASE -U USER -P "PASSWORD" -i "$f"
sleep 2s
done
You can try it, with:
$ docker run -v /path/to/your/sql/file/folder:/backup -it mcr.microsoft.com/mssql-tools
$ bash bulk.sh
I created a batch file and placed the following line into it:
runas /user:internal\c39293 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE" -E -S WLDZ9454 -d ChadDb -Q "usp_Test"
I was trying to run the stored procedure usp_Test on the server WLDZ9454 against the ChadDb database.
When I execute it, I just get info regarding param options, no error mesage, so it isn't clear to me what I am doing wrong.
Note that when I run the code minus the code that attempts to run under different credentials, it works:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE" -E -S WLDZ9454 -d ChadDb -Q "usp_Test"
I suspect it's because you have not enclosed the program you are running and its parameters in quotes.
SqlCmd is therefore executed without any parameters.
runas /user:internal\c39293 """C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE"" -E -S WLDZ9454 -d ChadDb -Q ""usp_Test"""
I need a DOS command or a batch (.bat) file I can execute to run all the *.sql scripts in a directory and its subdirectories. What would the solution be?
The following will get you started
for /r %f in (*.sql) do echo %f
Run from the command line that will print the names of all the SQL files in the current directory and all sub directories.
Then substitute sqlcmd <connection args> -i%f for echo %f to execute the scripts.
Hope this helps.
Here you go. This batch file will execute all sql files in a directory and its subdirectories. It will also create an output.txt file with the results so you can see errors and whatnot. Some notes on batch file:
[YourDatabase] is the name of the database you want to execute the scripts against.
[YourPath] is the path of where you keep all the scripts.
[YourServerName\YourInstanceName] is the SQL server name and instance name, separated with a '\'
You'll want to replace the text after the '=' for each variable with whatever is appropriate for your server
Be sure NOT to put spaces around the '='
Do not put any quotes around [YourPath]
Make sure that [YourPath] has a '\' at the end
SET Database=[YourDatabase]
SET ScriptsPath=[YourPath]
SET ServerInstance=[YourServerName\YourInstanceName]
IF EXIST "%ScriptsPath%output.txt" del "%ScriptsPath%output.txt"
type NUL > "%ScriptsPath%output.txt"
FOR /R "%ScriptsPath%" %%G IN (*.sql) DO (
sqlcmd -d %Database% -S %ServerInstance% -i "%%G" -o "%%G.txt"
echo ..................................................................................... >> "%ScriptsPath%output.txt"
echo Executing: "%%G" >> "%ScriptsPath%output.txt"
echo ..................................................................................... >> "%ScriptsPath%output.txt"
copy "%ScriptsPath%output.txt"+"%%G.txt" "%ScriptsPath%output.txt"
del "%%G.txt"
)
for %f in ("c:\path\to\dir\*.sql") do sqlcmd -S [SERVER_NAME] -d [DATABASE_NAME] -i "%f" -b
Try a for loop. The options of this command have evolved and I'm not sure what version of DOS you are using, but assuming that DOS includes "cmd.exe from Windows XP", something like this could work:
for /r . %f in (*.sql) do #echo %f
Ok, this will only print the names of the files. I'm assuming you already have a program that you can run from the command line that will execute one SQL file, which you can use instead of echo.
For more information, try for /?.
