How can I insert the output of
a dbcc command into a SQL Server table? Some DBCC commands support this directly via the "insert into exec" type format, others don't. Examples of both are given. A dbcc command that works "normally" is useroptions - this is an example from the books-online :- drop table #tb_setopts go CREATE TABLE #tb_setopts (SetOptName varchar(35) NOT NULL ,SetOptValue varchar(35) null) INSERT INTO #tb_setopts (SetOptName,SetOptValue) EXEC('dbcc useroptions') select * from #tb_setopts Another is dbcc sqlperf :- CREATE TABLE #TempForLogSpace ( DBName varchar(32), LogSize real, LogSpaceUsed real, Status int ) SELECT @sql_command = 'dbcc sqlperf (logspace)' INSERT INTO #TempForLogSpace EXEC (@sql_command) One that doesn't is dbcc checkdb. To make this work you'll need to use xp_cmdshell and ISQL as follows :- DROP TABLE #maint go DECLARE @SQLSTR varchar(255) SELECT @SQLSTR = 'ISQL -E -Q"dbcc checkdb(master)"' CREATE TABLE #maint (Results varchar(255) NOT NULL) INSERT INTO #maint(Results) EXEC('master..xp_cmdshell ''ISQL -E -Q"dbcc checkdb(master)"''') select * from #maint |
