Scptxfr exe sql 2005

However it is also very useful in a day-to-day environment, as it allows you to programmatically generate scheduled scripts of database objects. SCPTXFR is exceptionally useful, as it allows a DBA to automatically generate a complete database script every night at a fixed time without being in attendance, as described below. Note that you will probably have to either change to the directory in which SCPTXPR resides, or specify the full path of the utility when executing it, as it is usually not picked up as a default path in Windows or DOS :.

Returns this help information on the command line. Also works with -?. NB : Note that if you omit the space between any of the options and a parameter, you will get the error:. The two main options available are NT or SQL Server security, and the choice of writing the generated scripts into either a single file or into multiple files.

If the latter option is chosen, individual files are given separate extensions, as detailed at the end of this article. The remaining options are mainly concerned with output formatting. To automatically script a database, a scheduled job can be created to run a T-SQL command, such as in the following examples.

If not you'll need to search for it on your server's hard disk and replace the directory where it resides:. Example 3 - To script out each object category stored proc, table, trigger, etc Note the use of the capital 'F' here to specify a Folder instead of a file - mixing the two up often causes problems when you use SCPTXFR the first few times and usually results in puzzling 'access denied' permission errors.

Example 4 - Generate a script to contain the contents of the Accounts database, and generate a separate file containing all of the DROP scripts. Example 5 - Generate a script to contain the contents of the master database, and generate a separate folder containing the scripts datestamped with the date on which it was run.

Thanks Peter. Using the scripting wizard in SQL Server database engine, I have been able to script all my DDL out to a flat file which is great; however, when I scripts for instance all views I would like to have the script in alphabetical order by view name, is there a value I can set to accomplish this? What do I need to change in the following code, to view my database table column in a-z order? I have 2 databases say A and B with same structure and relationships.

There are 65 tables in each database. A is already replicating data to database C for 35 tables. Now I need to move data from A to B which is greater than getdate -1 everyday for all the tables and once the move is done I need to delete this data from A.

And samething the next day. Since this is for 65 tables its challenging to identify the insert order. Once the insert order is identified the delete order will be the reverse of it. Is there a tool or any SP that could generate the insert order script? The generate scripts data only is generating the entire data and these databases are almost GB. So I thought of generating a schema only script and then create an empty database with it and then generate data only to identify the order of insert.

But it wont generate anything since there is no data. So, I need the table script first and then stored procedure. Note: I can generate two separate scripts for table and stored procedure, But in a just curiosity to know, Is there any way, can we re order the Generate Scripts output in SQL Server.

Q:why the recordset's order is not the same as the first time since'categoryid' is clustered indexed. Q:'categoryname' is clustered indexed this time,why isn't in alphabeticorder? I am a newbie in ms-sqlserver,or actually in database,and I do havesought for the answer for some time,but more confused,Thanks for yourkind help in advance!

Hi, I have a table whose Identifying column is not an integer but rather a manually entered id. When sorted ascending, a G11 will come before a G2 in the list, before , etc. I would like to insert a new column in the database or use some kind of function when sorting the database to ensure that the list in returned in the proper order. Any ideas? Much appreciated I have been discussing with some coworkers whether or not it makes sense to invest the time to alphabetize the column names in our tables aside from the PK and possibly FK's that could be listed first.

My reasoning for doing so would make it much easier to scan the list of columns in a table that I was not familiar with to see if it contained a particular column i. I was just wondering if this is common at all in our industry for new DB design I realize why legacy systems would not be ordered in this way. An argument was made that when you add a new column you would insert it into the appropriate location and in order to make this happen, EP needs to create a temp table, move the data and consequently lock the table until the data has been transferred.

While this is correct, I do not see this negative as outweighing the positive experience achieved by scanning a list of fields in a table in a more orderly fashion. Apologies if this has been done before, but I couldn't find a completed example. If anyone has time, I'd love to see some improvements Where's fribble when you need him?

Ideally the strings should really be broken up into constituent parts and ordered properly, but occasionally you come across data where it's just not worth the while. NOTE: because the original strings are mixed, the user may include alphas between digits which are to be sorted alphabetically, which means the string must keep all alpha parts of the original string as is. It's the only way I could do it since I'm not a dot net person.

One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. I am not good with VB either. In fact I have no knowledge of it at all, because I am not a developer. I was just wondering if there is a TSQL script already developed, so I don't have to develop it myself.

The snippet is part of a much larger program that scripts out every object in a database so it would be hard to break down. Maybe someone who is good with Powershell can help. Rudy Panigas.

I believe this will make everyone happy and there is not coding involved. Just search for SQLScripter. A gentleman has create a neat application to script out everything or just some things including jobs.

Just modify the confiig file and execute. I just Googled it. Simon D Richards. The other option is to try to find something that someone already wrote is willing to share, or purchase something.

Not that great way but works. Let me know if you want the script and i can send you. I have an updated script which works on , and as well as R2.
