Hi Team,

A small doubt,

Can we able to get connected to SQL SERVER for DOS prompt and execute the sql server cmd(s). Can we do that.

I need this because i am trying to batch file which is scheduled at
early morning 2:00 am so that it connects to SQL SERVER database
and takes the backup to the specified backup dir.

Because in oracle i used to do like that to take schema level bkps.
I used to write bacth files and schedule them.

But here in SQL SERVER 2000 how to do that.

Can anyone help me plz.
Regards,
frank

Have a lok at osql.

You would probably be better off scheduling a backup via the sql server agent though.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Did you look at osql. It's a command line utility to enable you to run sql against sql server.
