SQLCMD does not create a log file

Harv2002 — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 17:52:13 +0000

I have several SQL update/delete statements I run during a payroll cycle. When I run a SQL that does not have any records that meet the selection criteria, I do not get a log created. I can run the same SQL in SQLServer, and it shows (0 records updated).

Using the return value of a SQL Restore script

SQL Server Ask the Experts — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:34:43 +0000

I am trying to use the return value of a SQL Restore script executed with SQLCMD, so that my batch script can report on the succes or failure of the restore. I am having difficulty getting the script to return the result of the backup or restore process. Do you have any suggestions?

The follwoing succesfully restores the database but returns a -100 error code:

SQLCMD -S SERVERNAME -Q "exit(RESTORE DATABASE [PremiumAutomation] FROM  DISK = N'C:SQLBackupsHotBackupPremiumAutomationRest.bak' WITH  FILE = 1,  NOUNLOAD,  REPLACE,  STATS = 10)" -o FolderNameRestore.Log
