Question

I have about 100 scripts that needs to be executed on SSMS. How can i execute them as a batch instead of executing each individually.

I tried using this but it didn’t work.

@echo off
ECHO %USERNAME% started the batch process at %TIME%  >output.txt


FOR %%? in ("1.01*.SQL") DO 
 (
sqlcmd.exe  -S local -E   -d collect -i %%? >>output.txt
)

pause

Answer 1

The following runs all scripts in a directory, output data to a .log file and errors to a .err.log file:

@echo off
echo "Enter Server"
set /p SERVER=

echo "Enter Database"
set /p DATABASE=

if exist *.log ( del *.log )

rem Process the files
for %%i in (*.sql) do osql -E -S %SERVER% -d %DATABASE% -i"%%i" -m0 -w500 -I -b -r  -o"%%i.log"  2>%%i.err.log

rem Remove empty .err files (ie had no errors)
for %%a in (*.err.log) do if %%~za==0 del "%%a"


pause

Note: An earlier version of this used sqlcmd however there proved to be issues with sqlcmd missing out data in the output logs.
