Hi all

This is probably a daft question, but is it possible to run an SQL query via a Windows scheduled task.
The IT bods here won't give us the necessary permissions to set up jobs.

Anyone any ideas?

It is a very bad idea to do something like this without your IT.

Well you can create a Windows exe & embed the SQL query in it & then schedule it by Windows scheduled task.

PBUH

I don't know but somehow it relates to what u have asked.

If you have permission to SSRS (SQL Reporting Service), you can create one report using that query and using subscription on Reporting Server you can schedule that report.

I think what you really want is to use SQL SERVER AGENT. It's a way to make jobs that are targeted at a database and have 'steps' which you can configure yourself. You then schedule the jobs to run as required (at a certain time each day for example or every x minutes / hours).

Ask your DBA they should be fine with this. At the very least they should be OK with taking your sql, looking at it very carefully and scheduing a agent job themselves if they don't trust you (which they probably wont if they are doing their job properly )

good luck.
