Purpose

Instructions to run a SQL script against a MS SQL database.

Solution

To run a SQL script from a command line, 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
  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.
