Hi! I am Rajendra Gupta, Database Specialist and Architect, helping organizations implement Microsoft SQL Server, Azure, Couchbase, AWS solutions fast and efficiently, fix related issues, and Performance Tuning with over 14 years of experience. The below T-SQL copy all files from the source ( C:\NPE) to the destination To demonstrate this command, I have removed all files from the destination folder manually. You can copy files with a specific pattern as well. You can use it to copy all files from the source SQL Server 2019 provides a new stored procedure sys.xp_copy_files. You can embed a logic to check the file existence before copying itĬopy multiple files using the sys.xp_copy_files stored procedure Note: You should be careful in using this stored procedure as it replaces the existing file without any warnings.
You can see the updated file in the destination folder. Xp_copy_file overwrites the file and does not give any warning or information. We already have a file present in theĭestination directory, but the SQL query executes successfully. Once the copy is finished, modify the source file and rerun the above T-SQL. You need to enable it in the system configuration using the sp_configure.Įnable advanced options in the master database of the SQL Server 2019 instance This extended stored procedure is available in the master database. You can download the latest version from the Microsoft URL Environment details: You should have SQL Server 2019 instance.Will explore the xp_cmdshell procedure along with the new functions in SQL Server 2019 to copy or remove the files. SQL Server 2019 introduced many new stored procedures, functions, dynamic management views(DMV). The SSIS package for the file transfer, but it also requires you to build a package with the relevant tasks. You need a sysadmin role or proxy account configured to use this extended procedure. Xp_cmdshell extended stored procedure to execute commands directly in the Windows command Or copying backup files to a specific directory after a particular time. A use case of these tasks might be removing the old backup files Like copying, moving, deleting files and folders. Sometimes database professionals need to perform specific tasks at the operating system level.
