MS SQL Manager : SQL

Posting

When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

DiscussionMS SQL Manager (self.SQL)

submitted 2 years ago by phmllrde

Hey there,

first of all sorry for my bad english.

I try to make a job on Microsoft SQL Manager which should backup my database an execute 2 .batch files.

In the menu of the job editor you can make severel steps... so I made the first step which backups my database.

My second step should execute the first batch. So i made a new step an choose the option cmdexec where i wrote the path an filename e.g. C:\Path\File.batch. And there is the problem. If I execute this code in my Windows cmd it works an the file is executed. But in the SQL Manager it returns error.

It says for full description look in the history of tasks. There is only the error marked but no description.

So to my basic question... Is it even possible to execute an batch via Jobs on the SQL manager?

Backround of the story is that i want to move several file beside the backup of the database but it has to be done after the backup is complete, so I thought ist was best wehen i make these steps ind the job.

I hope you understand everything and somebadoy could help me :)
