Running Multiple scripts.
Sorry 4 asking too many questions this week.But i need to know is there a way i can run multiple scripts automaticallye.g script1.sql then script2.sql.
Basically can you write a script to execute other scripts.
One way is to create a job which will call the DTS and schedule it so that it runs automatically. In DTS create activex script to read the files in your folder one by one and execute them using ADO.
You can have all the scripts in a single Stored Procedure and schedule it as job to run periodically Madhivanan Failing to plan is Planning to fail

Take your time to read the books online about stored procedures and scheduling the jobs on SQL server.http://www.awprofessional.com/articles/article.asp?p=25288 &http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=563 fyi. Satya SKJ

Typically if these scripts are to be run periodically, and are not just one-off operations, you would put them in stored procedures. You can then have a wrapper procedure which calls each procedure in turn create procedure dbo.wrapperProc
AS
BEGIN
exec dbo.proc1
exec dbo.proc2
END
