I have an SQL script than runs a couple of DBBC commands. Is there a way to send the messages generated from executing these commands to a simple log file e.g “C:\log.txt”?
The messages I mean are the ones that appear in the messages box at the bottom of SQL Server 2005 Management Studio after a query has executed.
The reason for needing to do this is because I don’t intend on having SQL Server Management Studio open so the messages can’t be seen.
I am using SQL Server 2005 if that helps.
You can run scripts from the Command line using SQLCMD utility.

You can run this through a batch file. It let’s you log to a file.
You can automate such jobs using scheduling programs.
