The sqlcmd utility lets you enter Transact-SQL statements, system procedures, and script files at the command prompt, in Query Editor in SQLCMD mode, in a Windows script file or in an operating system (Cmd.exe) job step of a SQL Server Agent job.
This utility uses OLE DB to execute Transact-SQL batches. sqlcmd is part of SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008.
Example:
In command line call
sqlcmd -S <servername> -E -i sqlrestore_mydb.sql
where sqlrestore_mydb.sql is in the actual directory and like:
USE MASTER;
-- Restore even if used:
ALTER DATABASE [mydb] SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;
ALTER DATABASE [mydb] SET SINGLE_USER;
-- Restore from backup file with fulltext index
RESTORE DATABASE [mydb]
FROM DISK = 'D:\SQL\MSSQL\BACKUP\mydb.bak' WITH REPLACE,
MOVE 'mydb_Data' TO 'D:\SQL\MSSQL\Data\mydb.mdf',
MOVE 'mydb_Log' TO 'D:\SQL\MSSQL\Data\mydb_log.ldf',
MOVE 'sysft_mydb' TO 'E:\Index\ftmydb'
-- Create a user for login
USE [mydb];
CREATE USER [mydbsa] FOR LOGIN [mydbsa];
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'mydbsa';
