Hi,

I need to execute a huge script as the last step of an SQL job. The issue is SQL 2005 puts a limitation on the no. of lines that can be included in a step.
One option is to deploy sql script on the server and then run the foll:
OSQL -E -S<machine name> -n -i\\<machine name>\FOLDER\script1.sql

This suggestion was rejected by the DBAs mentioning that sql scripts must not be deployed on production.
Can anybody suggest me a solution?

What about creating a stored procedure and use EXEC sp as a step in job?
