Hi,
I'm working on some "daemon" able to restore whatever come into a given
folder to a "stand-by" SQL Server (sort of log shipping, but also to restore
full backup and so on).
I'm now faing a problem : I can't put the logical name of the database from
the backup file to a variable.
Here a sample of what I 'm trying to do :
--
DECLARE @.Data_file nvarchar (256)
create table #result
(
LogicalName varchar(512),
PhysicalName varchar(512),
Type varchar(1),
FileGroupName nvarchar(50),
Size int,
Maxsize int
)
insert into #result EXEC (restore filelistonly from disk='X:\file.bak')
--
(please note that table declaration, variable delclaration, etc may be
weird, but it's purely test code to try validate my concept.
Each time I got the following error :
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'restore'.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ')'.
As RESTORE filelistonly is, from BOL, returning a dataset, I was expecting
to be able to load into a table, or to be able to extract data from it
easily.
I do not know where to look at, any help will be welcome,
Thanks,
