Database script generation

Design-time automation makes coding faster and ensures that all the procedures generated use the same naming conventions and structure. In an effort to improve their coding efficiency in a large SQL project, the authors wrote a set of design-time stored procedures that generate run-time stored procedures, and have used them in project after project ever since. Recently, the authors updated their procedures to make use of SQL Server 2000 features, including user-defined functions. This article covers the creation and execution of these dynamic T-SQL scripts to automate the coding of common database stored procedures.

Hi,

Can you please provide me a script to get content database size in MOSS 2007.

Regards,

Garima

I need to backup a database using query.Please help me.

I have a problem with deploying SQL Analysis database from dev server to production , because I do not have an admin privileges , I cannot use Create script

The only action that I have , is to execute Alter Script against Any Empty database,

However I cannot use ImpersonateServiceAccount because it needs  Admin privileges

So, I always use ImpersonateCurrentUser as you know, I have to supply my credential.

are there any way that I can Deploy the db to the production  with the same impersonation type ImpersonateServiceAccount

as it was before?

thank you

after installing SP2 instance starts and stops with error:

Hello,

I used the "Script Database as -> Create to" option on an Analysis Services DB and now I'm trying to run the script on another DB server, but I get an error message that it already exists, and indeed it does, but then when I delete it and run the script again, I get a message that it doesn't exist(!) or the user doesn't have access to it (but it's actually defined as having server-wide permissions). Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? What am I missing here?

Thanks.

Hi,

I work with Microsoft SQL Server Workgroup Edition 2008 and I would like to know if there is a script to check the database size.

I need something like ‘give databasename’ and return the database size.
Can I do this via a vbscript?

Background info:
Different departments one SQL Server.
Every department has one or more databases on the SQL Server.
Department managers are billed per GB in use.
Department managers require a script to check the database size without using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio or any other console. Just a shortcut on their desktop.

Let me know if you need more information.
Thank you,
Yuri

I have an application that relies on Database Mail for sending out alerts and notifications.

I have it working wonderfully... as long as I manually set up Database Mail.

How can I provide a script to take care of the details of setting up Database Mail?

Most of SQL Server Management Studio has a "script" button which will accept input, then generate a script to take the actions requested.  This doesn't exist for the "Configure Database Mail" Wizard.

Any pointers?

I was able to find "Database Mail Simple Configuration Template" in the template explorer.  My main question is how to set one of the profiles as the default profile

Hi,

In my C++ application (with MFC) developed in Visual Studio 2010 the user has an option to take a backup of the current database. This is done by executing a Stored Procedure which takes the database name and backup file name as parameters:

CREATE PROCEDURE sp2_backup_database @DATABASE nvarchar(100), @FILENAME nvarchar(260)
WITH ENCRYPTION
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
Begin
  Exec ('Backup Database [' + @DATABASE + '] TO  DISK = ''' + @FILENAME + '''
      WITH COPY_ONLY, NOFORMAT, INIT,  NAME = ''' + @DATABASE +
      '-Full Database Backup'', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10')
   Return @@ERROR
End
GO

All this works fine, the backup is done properly by the SP.
What is bothering me is that when trying to make a restore of the database from the backup file the restore fails with a message like (freely translated from Swedish):

"Restore failed for [the SQL Server]. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
Additional information:
System.Data.SqlClien.SqlError: RESTORE can not process the database [Database-name] since it's in use by this process. It's recommended to use master database during this task."

The only way I can

Hello,

currently I'm working on program for database compare. In this program I need to create scripts for databse objects. i found out that script generation is too slow but generating scripts using SSMS it's pretty fast. In one thread I have found, that SSMS uses for script generation SMO, but I couldn't find any suggestions for performance improvement.

Server srv = new Server(new ServerConnection("SERVER", "USERID", "PASSWORD"));
srv.SetDefaultInitFields(typeof(Table), true);
Database db = srv.Databases[database];
ScriptingOptions so = new ScriptingOptions();
so.AllowSystemObjects = false;
.
.
.
db.PrefetchObjects(typeof(Table),so);
.
.
.
foreach(Table tb in db.Tables)
{
  StringCollection sc = tb.Script();
  .
  .
  .
}

Interesting is that db.PrefetchObjects(typeof(Table),so) has almost no effect for script g
