How to apply a SQL script

To run a SQL script from a command line, please perform the following steps:

1. Save the script as *.sql file (e.g. script.sql) to local disk
2. Make sure that no jobs are running
3. Run the following command:

   sqlcmd -S <SqlServerName>\<SqlInstanceName> -d <SqlDatabaseName> -i PATHTOSCRIPT\script.sql -o c:\resetresult.txt -I

   
   
        HKLM\Software\VeeaM\Veeam Backup and Replication\SqlServerName
        HKLM\Software\VeeaM\Veeam Backup and Replication\SqlInstanceName
        HKLM\Software\VeeaM\Veeam Backup and Replication\SqlDatabaseName
   
        If the script needs to be applied to EM database, please use:
        HKLM\Software\VeeaM\Veeam Backup Reporting\SqlServerName
        HKLM\Software\VeeaM\Veeam Backup Reporting\SqlInstanceName
        HKLM\Software\VeeaM\Veeam Backup Reporting\SqlDatabaseName
4. ​Restart the Veeam services

 
You may also run a SQL script from SQL Server Management Studio, right click on your database and choose the “New query” option, insert the text from the file, and click Execute.
