I have a sql script that truncates the table and insert into database from a linked server.Since the server is SQL express I will need to use batch jobs to schedule the jobs. Below is a snippet of the batch job that calls the sql script
TRUNCATE TABLE [TABLE1].[dbo].[TableData]
WAITFOR DELAY '000:00:01'
INSERT INTO [TABLE1].[dbo].[TableData] SELECT * FROM [SourceServer].[SourceDatabase].[dbo].[VW_View]
The batch jobs works fine if I use the below code but since osql is deprecated I will need to use sqlcmd which is runs in a loop and never stops.
osql -S myserver -E -i "c:\test.sql" -o "c:\output.txt" --- Runs fine
sqlcmd -S myserver -E -i "c:\test.sql" ----- Does not work and goes to a loop that does not end.
I will appreciate if someone can provide me the correct syntax for the sqlcmd.
