Kim writes "First of all, I am a newbie so please be patient with me.

I have a DB setup on a SQL Server 2000 box. I have a stored procedure that I would like to execute using a windows batch file. I am not sure if this can be done and if so, how to do it.

Let me know what information you need to help me accomplish this. Here's a little that may help.

Server name: IDC-Server
DB name: Alpha
username: Hal
password: xxxxx
stored procedure name: sp_test

I may have the batch file reside on the SQL server but for testing, the batch file will be run from a different machine.

Thank you in advance for your help and expertise."

Take a look in Books Online for "osql utility", it's a command-line utility for running SQL files or simple queries. Books Online is installed in the same program folder and Start menu as the other SQL Server programs.
