I Have written a batch script to do some backup and restore for sqlserver 2005 database. It WORKS FINE when i hard code the path eg:C:\Users\Public\xxxx.txt
My issue is when i dont hardcode the path then it backups to
eg: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80.................
which is having WHITESPACE there by it doesnot find the file.
How to overcome this issue .
Note:
1. we should not hardcode the path.
2. we should get the file from the eg: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80................. which is having WHITESPACE.
Iam posting the sample batch code
Code: Select all
REM %1 SOURCE USER NAME
REM %2 SOURCE USER PASSWORD
REM %3 SOURCE HOST
REM %4 TRAGET USER NAME
REM %5 TRAGET USER PASSWORD
REM %6 TRAGET HOST
REM %7 SOURCE DATABASE
REM %8 TRAGET DATABASE
echo OSQL -U %1 -P%2 -H %3 > "%0.sql"
echo "BACKUP DATABASE %7 TO DISK = '%7.bak'" >> "%0.sql"
echo go >> "%0.sql"
echo exit >> "%0.sql"
echo sqlcmd -U %4 -P%5 -H %6 >> "%0.sql"
echo "RESTORE DATABASE %8 FILE = N'%7' FROM DISK = N'%7.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'%7' TO N'%8.mdf', MOVE N'%7_log' TO N'%8.ldf', NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10" >> "%0.sql"
echo go >> "%0.sql"
echO exit >> "%0.sql"
sqlcmd -i "%0.sql" -o "%0.log" -U %4 -P%5 -H %6AS I am new to this Please Please correct me with the code.
