smo

I am trying to create a empty database in SQL server using powershell and SMO but cannot seem to find a way of doing it. Is this possible? Connection script for sql server: [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO') | out-null $serverName = "localhost" $server = new-object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server') $serverName $server.ConnectionContext.LoginSecure=$false; $credential = Get-Credential $loginName = $credential.UserName -replace("\\","") $server.ConnectionContext.set_Login($loginName); $server.ConnectionContext.set_SecurePassword($credential

I have a .NET application where I restore a number of databases using SMO. The timeout setting in the connection string is set to 0 (unlimited). Most databases restore fine, except one databases that sometimes times out on the restore. The size of it approaches 3 GB. Are there any workarounds for this problem? Is there a setting I am missing. I am using DatabaseRestore object to restore the database. Thanks! M.R. There are two timeout settings for SMO - one is the ConnectionTimeOut settings, and the other is the StatementTimeOut setting - you need to make sure you are setting the right one:

I am trying to verify the backup I have just done in c# using command against sql server Express string _commandText = string.Format("RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = '{0}'", backupLocation); SqlDataReader _sqlDataReader = SqlHelper.ExecuteReader("BookssortedSQLDbConnection", CommandType.Text, _commandText); If I execute the command in SSMS it returns 'The backup set on file 1 is valid.' but how can I get this message back into my code? A reader wont work as there are no rows being returned. NOTE: I have tried the SMO.Restore object to try and verify it but it doesn't work and that is why I am

I run my Winforms app using SQLServer assemblies Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo (13.100.0.0) Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO(13.100.0.0) On the same machine SSMS 2016(Aug) is installed. And here SQL 2014 Dev Edition is installed too. WHen I run my app it gives me an error: сonnection = new ServerConnection(instanceName); ------------ Could not load file or assembly ‘microsoft.sqlserver.sqlclrprovider version=13.100.0.0′ I have checked: GAC contains some this assemblies 11, 12, 13.0.0.0, but there is no 13.100.0.0. The application has got referenced assemblies from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft

Ok, I've scoured the web, BOL, various forums and I'm no closer to an answer...hopefully you fine folks can lend a hand... We've got a dozen or so SQL Servers (some 2k, some 2005) on a network. I'm using SMO objects in a .NET application to get some standard information. My problem appears to boil down to a missing DLL - Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser.dll. However, this DLL did not come with the other SQL DLLs (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll, Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll, Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum.dll, Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll, etc...). I also downloaded the SS2005 feature
