If you are creating this on a server then make sure that path exists ON THE SERVER.

On my system the path for SQL Express 2005 is:

FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL1\MSSQL\DATA\saledat.mdf',

I ran the script and it created a Sql Server 2008 database in the specified folders. The path the op is using is definitely for 2008, and if he was using a 2005 instance then the default path should have been what you posted - notice no comments from the op for over 4 hours.

I'm a bit confused. Confused | :confused:

If you receive an updated database from your client on a daily basis, why don't you just replace the old database with the new one ?

Otherwise, you will need to create a reconciliation program that considers the following:
1) New records
2) Deleted records
3) Update records

You could apply this logic on a table by table basis, but the problem arises when there are constraints among dependent tables. If you try to insert a record in a table and the foreign key does not exist yet in the parent table you will get an insert error.

One method around this is to drop all constraints when performing this reconcilliation and re-apply the constraints when the process is complete.

Not an easy task.
Best of luck.

Assuming that your Database is MS SQL Server and that it is >= 2005, this[^] may be of interest to you.

You send whole database or part of the database means only those items which are updated or changed.

So whats the problem highlighting the XML in management studio right click>Save as...?

Failing that, have a look at SqlCmd from a command prompt. It allows you to execute a query, and output the results to a file.

You can use bcp to create xml in shared folder with Everyone rights and then can use FILE class to move to C:\ drive

SQL Statements are for extracting data from a database. As you know. IMO it is some client application which is responsible for doing somethign with that data, like displaying it, ort in your case, outputting it to a file.

Im interested however, why you think you want to do this all with a SQL statement? Something (a process, an application, maybe SQL Agent) must be executing that statement....

So write youself a utility (Console App, Service, Windows App, VB Script) which executes your query and writes the result to the filesystem.

I have a table with two columns
1- id
2- parent_id

I want a SQL query that take parent_id as perameter and retrieve all its children and children of children and so on upto N level.
Data in table like:
ID parent_id
S1 SG
G1 FG
GP01 FG
GP0101 GP01
G11 G1
G12 G1
G111 G11
G112 G11
G113 G11

If I pass FG as parent_id, the query should return G1,GP01,GP0101,G11,G12,G111,G112,G113.

Please help me in this regard

This kind of problem can be easily solved with Recursive CTE's.

Try this.
declare @tbl table(id varchar(20),parentid varchar(20))
insert into @tbl
select 'S1','SG' union all
select 'G1','FG' union all
select 'GP01','FG' union all
select 'GP0101','GP01' union all
select 'G11','G1' union all
select 'G12','G1' union all
select 'G111','G11' union all
select 'G112','G11' union all
select 'G113','G11'

;with cte as
(
	select t1.parentid,t1.id,0 AS [Level] from  @tbl t1	
	where t1.parentid  = 'FG'	
	union all 	
	select t1.parentid,t1.id,[Level]+1 from  @tbl t1
	inner join cte c
	on c.id = t1.parentid
)
select left(Decendants,len(Decendants)-1) Decandants
from
    (
		select id  + ','
		from cte
		for xml path ('')
    ) Result(Decendants)

Pass the parent id as a parameter from ur stored proc.

O/P:

Decandants
G1,GP01,GP0101,G11,G12,G111,G112,G113

FROM DETAIL A
	INNER JOIN MASTER B ON A.CODE=B.CODE
