I have a table on which I want to perform some operations every hour. For this I created a Stored Procedure but don't know how to call it every hour. I know there are some kind of scheduled jobs, but how to use them.
Is there some kind of service also that keeps on running continuously, every second, where I can place my piece of code to be executed ?
In SSMS navigate to SQL Server Agent-->Jobs
Right click on the Job Folder and select new job
on the dialog that pops up, give the job a name
click on steps, then on new, you will see a dialog like the following, pick correct DB and type your proc name
after that click on schedule, pick new and you will see something like the image below, fill all the stuff you need and click ok, click ok on the job and you should be set
1) Use the SQL Server Agent (open MS Management Studio)
2) New Job
3) Add Step
4) Choose Transact SQL
5) EXEC MyStroredProc
6) Choose database
7) Add schedule
8) Occurs every hour
Add notification to know that process is doing well (or bad).
In the properties of SQL Server Agent check that all Auto restart options are switch ON
Set up a SQL Server agent job to execute the stored procedure at 1 hour intervals

Right now I'm dropping, creating and then running scripts for several database several times each day. It's getting a little tedious.
I've simple scripts from dropping and creating databases and additional scripts that writes data to the DBs.
I run these scripts through oracle SQL developer. Is there a way I can run all of these scripts at the same time. Like in a batch file or another tool? I.e
Drop existing DBs
Create DBs
Run scripts for DBs
Haven't been able to figure it out
You can create a scheduled job in sql developer. See bellow steps to create a job:
1- From your connection in sql developer select scheduler. In right click select "New Job ...".
2- In opened window you should select "PL/SQL Block" for "Type of Job" then write a block just like I wrote in bellow picture. Then you should select "Repeating" and insert intervals and start and end dates:
3- Keep in the mind that "Enable" box should be checked.
4- click on "Apply". Your Job will be ran based on intervals and start date you inserted.
I have created multiple SQL DB Maintenance scripts which I am required to run in a defined order. I have 2 scripts. I want to run the 2nd script, only on successful execution of 1st script. The scripts contain queries that creates tables, stored procedures, SQL jobs etc.
Please suggest an optimal way of achieving this. I am using MS SQL Server 2012.
I am trying to implement it without using an SQL job.
I'm sure I'm stating the obvious, and it's probably because I'm not fully understand what you meant by "executed successfully", but if you meant no SQL error while running:
The optimal way to achieve it is to create a job for your scripts, then create two steps - one for the first script and for the second. Once both steps are there, you go to the advanced options of step 1 and set it up to your needs.

Can you create a SQL Server Agent Job? You could just set the steps to be Step 1: Run first script, Step 2: run second script. In the agent job setup you can decide what to when step 1 fails. Just have it not run step 2. You can also set it up to email you, skip to another step, run some other code etc... If anything the first code did failed with any error message, your second script would not run. -- If you really needed to avoid a job, you could add some if exists statements to your second script, but that will get very messy very fast
If the two scripts are in different files
Add a statement which would log into a table the completion and date .Change second script to read this first and exit,if not success
if both are in same file
ensure they are in a transaction and read ##trancount at the start of second script and exit ,if less than 1
SQL Server 2005’s job scheduling subsystem, SQL Server Agent, maintains a set of log files with warning and error messages about the jobs it has run, written to the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG directory. SQL Server will maintain up to nine SQL Server Agent error log files. The current log file is named SQLAGENT .OUT, whereas archived files are numbered sequentially. You can view SQL Server Agent logs by using SQL Server Management Studio.
I want to execute a query at a specific time. In MySQL we use events for that, example is as follows:
CREATE EVENT myevent
ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + INTERVAL 1 HOUR
DO
UPDATE myschema.mytable SET mycol = mycol + 1;
Please let me know how to do the same in SQL Server. Thanks.
PS : Sorry if its a repeated question. I tried searching for some time but didn't get it in SQL Server
You can use Sql server agent for this task and you can schedule there. Its easy way.
Another one is "waitfor time" check this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms187331.aspx
(and you need to create a trigger with while loop logic and there wait for time is useful)
Another one create a bat file and schedule that in windows scheduler (if you are using sql sever express edition)
I'm using microsoft SQL server management studio 2005
I'm trying to run a job at a specific time and that time is stored in a database.
I can't insert the schedule manually because it is up to the user to decide what date and time the job(s) has to be done. php collects the time and date and sends it to a database.
I thought about runing a job every min and in my execution I have an if statement that only activates when the datetime stored in the database is one minute greater or lower than the current datetime. but doing it like this would be inaccurate and very inefficient. would it be possible to create a schedule directly from a query or job?
You can create and modify both jobs and schedules programmatically using SMO or TSQL. That means you can use an external application, a stored procedure or a trigger to create or update a job schedule based on the table data. SMO is probably the best way to go if you want to build an application to manage jobs, but on the other hand it's .NET only.
How do I schedule a stored procedure in Sql Server 2005 that it runs once at the start of every month (and on database startup)?
You will need to create a job using the SQL Server Agent.
In SQL Server Management Studio, go expand the SQL Server Agent node under the DB server, right click the Jobs folder and select New Job...
(If the SQL Server Agent node does not appear, you may be missing the required permissions)
That will take you through a wizard to schedule a sproc to run on whatever schedule you want.
In terms of how to get a sproc to run on db startup, see this article.
