SQL Server 2008 alternative for SQL-DMO
- by alexdelpiero
Hi!
I previously was using SQL-DMO to automatically generate scripts from the database.
Now I upgraded to SQL Server 2008 and I don’t want to use this feature anymore since Microsoft will be dropping this feature off.
Is there any other alternative I can use to connect to a server and generate scripts automatically from a database?
Any answer is welcome. Thanks in advance.
This is the procedure i was previously using:
CREATE PROC GenerateSP (
@server varchar(30) = null,
@uname varchar(30) = null,
@pwd varchar(30) = null,
@dbname varchar(30) = null,
@filename varchar(200) = 'c:\script.sql'
)
AS
DECLARE @object int
DECLARE @hr int
DECLARE @return varchar(200)
DECLARE @exec_str varchar(2000)
DECLARE @spname sysname
SET NOCOUNT ON
-- Sets the server to the local server
IF @server is NULL
SELECT @server = @@servername
-- Sets the database to the current database
IF @dbname is NULL
SELECT @dbname = db_name()
-- Sets the username to the current user name
IF @uname is NULL
SELECT @uname = SYSTEM_USER
-- Create an object that points to the SQL Server
EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'SQLDMO.SQLServer', @object OUT
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT 'error create SQLOLE.SQLServer'
RETURN
END
-- Connect to the SQL Server
IF @pwd is NULL
BEGIN
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @object, 'Connect', NULL, @server, @uname
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT 'error Connect'
RETURN
END
END
ELSE
BEGIN
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @object, 'Connect', NULL, @server, @uname, @pwd
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT 'error Connect'
RETURN
END
END
--Verify the connection
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @object, 'VerifyConnection', @return OUT
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT 'error VerifyConnection'
RETURN
END
SET @exec_str = 'DECLARE script_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM ' + @dbname + '..sysobjects WHERE type = ''P'' ORDER BY Name'
EXEC (@exec_str)
OPEN script_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM script_cursor INTO @spname
WHILE (@@fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
SET @exec_str = 'Databases("'+ @dbname +'").StoredProcedures("'+RTRIM(UPPER(@spname))+'").Script(74077,"'+ @filename +'")'
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @object, @exec_str, @return OUT
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT 'error Script'
RETURN
END
FETCH NEXT FROM script_cursor INTO @spname
END
CLOSE script_cursor
DEALLOCATE script_cursor
-- Destroy the object
EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @object
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT 'error destroy object'
RETURN
END
GO
