SQL Trigger Fires on Every 24 Hrs - sql-server

Question

I want to make a MSSQL Trigger which will Fires in Everyday when date will change.

Answer 1

For MSSS Express editions create MS Windows job which will start Sqlcmd, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165702(v=sql.105).aspx
which will run an Sql script. Note, when sqlcmd is run from the command line, sqlcmd uses the OLE DB provider.
How to create a Sqlcmd job by using Windows Task Scheduler https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2019698 . This article deals with DB backup task. Replace the Sql script at step A with the one you need and adjust following steps accordingly.

Answer 2

You have to schedule a JOB in SQL which will fire in defined time and put your query in JOB
Expand the SQL Server Agent node and right click the Jobs node in SQL Server Agent and select 'New Job'.
In the 'New Job' window enter the name of the job and a description on the 'General' tab.
Select 'Steps' on the left hand side of the window and click 'New' at the bottom.
In the 'Steps' window enter a step name and select the database you want the query to run against.
Paste in the T-SQL command you want to run into the Command window and click 'OK'.
Click on the 'Schedule' menu on the left of the New Job window and enter the schedule information (e.g. daily and a time).
Click 'OK' - and that should be it.

For that purpose you can use PowerShell and Task Sheduler. All action below must be done on the machine where SQL Server is running.
At first create .sql file with a batch to run. I call it my_batch.sql. F.e. with this inside:
USE [MyDB]
INSERT INTO [dbo].[test]
([id]
,[somevalue]
,[New Column]
,[NewColumn])
VALUES
(NEWID()
,'testing'
,'test'
,'just a test')
Do not use GO in this script!
Then create .ps1 script to run that batch file (my_batch.ps1):
$conn=new-object System.Data.SqlClient.SQLConnection
$ConnectionString = "Server=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Database=MyDB;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=0"
$conn.ConnectionString=$ConnectionString
$conn.Open()
$fileToGetContent = 'D:\my_batch.sql'
$commandText = Get-Content -Path $fileToGetContent
$command = $conn.CreateCommand()
$command.CommandText = $commandText
$command.ExecuteNonQuery()
$conn.Close()
Then create a schedule task. You can make it manually (here is a good sample) or via PowerShell (I prefer this way):
#Create a new trigger that is configured to trigger at startup
$STTrigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 00:01
#Name for the scheduled task
$STName = "Run SQL batch"
#Action to run as
$STAction = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "PowerShell.exe" -Argument "D:\my_batch.ps1"
#Configure when to stop the task and how long it can run for. In this example it does not stop on idle and uses the maximum possible duration by setting a timelimit of 0
$STSettings = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -DontStopOnIdleEnd -ExecutionTimeLimit ([TimeSpan]::Zero)
#Configure the principal to use for the scheduled task and the level to run as
$STPrincipal = New-ScheduledTaskPrincipal -User "DOMAIN\user" -RunLevel "Highest"
#Register the new scheduled task
Register-ScheduledTask $STName -Action $STAction -Trigger $STTrigger -Principal $STPrincipal -Settings $STSettings
