I used an existing database to generate a "CREATE"-Script via the MS SQL Server Management Tool. Then i replaced the string literals for the DB Name with variables. However, when i execute the script, it keeps saying "wrong syntax near #DBFullName" (the first use in 'NAME = #DBFullName ...'). I have no idea what the issue is, other than the possibility, that the use of variables is forbidden here.
DECLARE #DBNAME nvarchar(MAX);
SET #DBNAME = 'MyDataBase'
DECLARE #DBFullName text;
SET #DBFullName = 'MySuperDataBase';
DECLARE #DBFileName text;
SET #DBFileName = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.DEVELOPMENT\MSSQL\DATA\\' + #DBName + '.mdf';
DECLARE #DBLogName text;
SET #DBLogName = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.DEVELOPMENT\MSSQL\DATA\\' + #DBName + '.ldf';
CREATE DATABASE [#DBNAME] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = #DBFullName + '_Data', FILENAME = #DBFileName , SIZE = 30720KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 10%)
LOG ON
( NAME = #DBFullName + '_Log', FILENAME = #DBLogName , SIZE = 2048KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO
You have to use dynamic SQL. Also, you need to replace text with nvarchar(max) otherwise text concatenation won't work.
Here is full script for you:
DECLARE #DBNAME sysname;
SET #DBNAME = 'MyDataBase'
DECLARE #DBFullName sysname;
SET #DBFullName = 'MySuperDataBase';
DECLARE #DBFileName nvarchar(max);
SET #DBFileName = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.DEVELOPMENT\MSSQL\DATA\' + #DBName + '.mdf';
DECLARE #DBLogName nvarchar(max);
SET #DBLogName = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.DEVELOPMENT\MSSQL\DATA\' + #DBName + '.ldf';
DECLARE #SQL nvarchar(max);
SET #SQL = N'
CREATE DATABASE ' + QUOTENAME(#DBNAME) + ' ON PRIMARY
(NAME = ' + QUOTENAME(#DBFullName + '_Data') + ',
FILENAME = ' + QUOTENAME(#DBFileName, '''') + ',
SIZE = 30720KB,
MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED,
FILEGROWTH = 10%)
LOG ON (
NAME = ' + QUOTENAME(#DBFullName + '_Log') + ',
FILENAME = ' + QUOTENAME(#DBLogName, '''') + ',
SIZE = 2048KB,
MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED,
FILEGROWTH = 10%)'
PRINT #SQL
EXEC (#SQL)
GO
Works on my machine! :)

I'm trying to add a file to a file group in order to create a partition in SQL Server. When I pass in a hardcoded file path to the the filename, the code works. But when I use a variable for the file path, I get an error
Incorrect syntax near #FilePath or Unexpected symbol #FilePath
This is my code:
USE StudentRepository
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE #FilePath NVARCHAR(MAX) = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.MSSQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\",
#FileName NVARCHAR(MAX) = "FirstTerm2020",
#FileExt NVARCHAR(MAX) = ".NDF";
DECLARE #count INT = 0;
ALTER DATABASE StudentRepository
ADD FILE
(
NAME = 'FirstTerm2020',
FILENAME = #FilePath + #FileName + #FileExt, --Error here!
SIZE = 5MB,
MAXSIZE = 100MB,
FILEGROWTH = 5MB
)
TO FILEGROUP FirstTerm2020
END
When I pass a hardcoded file path to the filename, it works and creates the required partitions. as below
--Code omitted for brevity
FILENAME = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.MSSQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\FirstTerm2020.NDF" --No error!
Please I need some help. How do I pass a file path as a variable?
This is how I solved the problem. I create a dynamic sql and passed the filepath variable like this.
USE StudentRepository
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE #FilePath NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.MSSQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\',
#FileName NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SecondTerm2022',
#FileExt NVARCHAR(MAX) = '.NDF';
DECLARE #count INT = 0;
DECLARE #sql NVARCHAR(MAX) = '
ALTER DATABASE StudentRepository ADD FILEGROUP ' + #FileName + ';
ALTER DATABASE StudentRepository
ADD FILE
(
NAME = '+ #FileName + ',
FILENAME = ''' + #FilePath + #FileName + #FileExt + ''',
SIZE = 5MB,
MAXSIZE = 100MB,
FILEGROWTH = 5MB
)
TO FILEGROUP '+ #FileName
END
EXEC sp_executesql #sql
My major problem was that I was ommitting the three single quotes near #FilePath

Is there a way to use this .Net function in SQL script?
Yes, you can use SQL CLR with C#
see samples Using 7-zip and SharpZipLib here:
also , you can create zip file from SQL without Powershell script:

THANKS #all
it runns this way:

I have written the following procedure to create a series of 20 databases.
But it is not creating them. The database is not created even when I go to my H: drive and didnot find the ldf and mdf named bharath1 bharath2 like...
What did I do wrong with this?
USE master
GO
DECLARE #command varchar(1000), #i int
while #i < 5
SET #command = 'CREATE DATABASE Bharath' + CAST(#i AS varchar) + '
ON ( NAME = ''Bharath_dat'',
FILENAME = ''H:\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\Bharath' +
CAST(#i AS varchar) + '.mdf'', SIZE = 10, MAXSIZE = 50, FILEGROWTH = 5 )
LOG ON ( NAME = ''Bharath_log'',
FILENAME = ''H:\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\Bharath' +
CAST(#i AS varchar) + '.ldf'', SIZE = 5MB, MAXSIZE = 25MB, FILEGROWTH = 5MB )'
EXEC (#command)
SET #i = #i + 1
GO
I don't have any idea in SQL Server stored procedure as of my knowledge and with somebody support i did like this. But i am not finding any databases.
Any help greatly appreciated.
OK, I don't see the BEGIN and END block right after the WHILE loop which may cause SQL to do an endless loop to run a SET #command statement only.
You need to enclose the WHILE with BEGIN and END...
DECLARE #command as varchar(1000), #i int
SET #i = 0
WHILE #i < 5
BEGIN
SET #command = 'CREATE DATABASE Example' + CAST(#i AS varchar)
EXEC(#command)
SET #i = #i + 1
END
This works for me. (SET #i = 0 is a must)
YOu need to initialise #i, add this after your declare:
SET #i = 1
There's a few things you've missed - you first of all need to put your several SQL command that you want to execute over and over again into a BEGIN......END block.
Second, you need to initialize your #i counter! Otherwise, it'll never get into that WHILE loop in the first place.
And thirdly, your CREATE DATABASE call was wrong - you need to specify a filegroup where to create the database (CREATE DATABASE (name) ON (filegroup) .......).
Here's my code:
USE master
GO
DECLARE #command varchar(1000), #instanceName VARCHAR(100), #i int
SET #i = 1
WHILE #i <= 5
BEGIN
SET #instanceName = 'Bharath' + CAST(#i AS VARCHAR(10))
SET #command = 'CREATE DATABASE ' + #instanceName +
' ON PRIMARY ( NAME = N''' + #instanceName + ''', ' +
'FILENAME = ''H:\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\' +
#instanceName + '.mdf'', SIZE = 10, MAXSIZE = 50, FILEGROWTH = 5 ) ' +
'LOG ON ( NAME = N''' + #instanceName + '_LOG'', ' +
'FILENAME = ''H:\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\' +
#instanceName + '.ldf'', SIZE = 5MB, MAXSIZE = 25MB, FILEGROWTH = 5MB )'
EXEC (#command)
SET #i = #i + 1
END
GO
How to create a database using T SQL script on a specified location? Let's say, I want to create a SQL server database on D:\temp\dbFolder. How to do this?
When you create the new database you specify the location. For example:
USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [AdventureWorks] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'AdventureWorks_Data', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf' , SIZE = 167872KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 16384KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'AdventureWorks_Log', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Log.ldf' , SIZE = 2048KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 16384KB )
GO
From the SQL Server Books an example where database filenames are explicitely defined:
USE master
GO
CREATE DATABASE Sales
ON
( NAME = Sales_dat,
FILENAME = 'c:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql\data\saledat.mdf',
SIZE = 10,
MAXSIZE = 50,
FILEGROWTH = 5 )
LOG ON
( NAME = 'Sales_log',
FILENAME = 'c:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql\data\salelog.ldf',
SIZE = 5MB,
MAXSIZE = 25MB,
FILEGROWTH = 5MB )
GO
Create folder on your file system: D:\temp\dbFolder\
Run the script:
USE master;
GO
CREATE DATABASE TestDB1
ON ( NAME = Sales_dat, FILENAME = 'D:\temp\dbFolder\TestDB1.mdf')
LOG ON ( NAME = Sales_log, FILENAME = 'D:\temp\dbFolder\TestDB1.ldf');
GO
Using variables in Studio Manager expanding on the previous examples.
Create folders and subfolders.
Example: root folder E:\MSSQL\DATA
subfolders E:\MSSQL\DATA\DB and E:\MSSQL\DATA\Logs.
MKDIR "E:\MSSQL\DATA\DB"
MKDIR "E:\MSSQL\DATA\Logs"
Change Database name #DBNAME variable #Test_DB' to your 'DesiredName_DB'
Change Root folder path #DataPath 'E:\MSSQL\DATA' to your as per above created folders.
Run the below in Studio Manager
DECLARE #DBNAME VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #DataPath AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #sql VARCHAR(MAX)
SET #DBNAME = N'Test_DB'
SET #DataPath = N'E:\MSSQL\DATA'
SELECT #sql = 'USE MASTER'
EXEC (#sql)
SELECT #sql = 'CREATE DATABASE '+ quotename(#DBNAME) + '
ON
PRIMARY
(
NAME = ''' + #DBNAME + '_DB'',
FILENAME = ''' + #DataPath + '\DB\' + #DBNAME + '.mdf'',
SIZE = 3136 KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED,
FILEGROWTH = 1024 KB
)
LOG ON
(
NAME = '''+ #DBNAME + '_Log'',
FILENAME = '''+ #DataPath + '\Logs\' + #DBNAME + '_log.ldf'',
SIZE = 832KB , MAXSIZE = 2048 GB , FILEGROWTH = 10 %
)'
EXEC (#sql)
Or another variation on the above theme.
DECLARE #DBNAME VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #DataFilePath AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #LogFilePath AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #sql VARCHAR(MAX)
SET #DBNAME = N'Test_DB'
SET #DataFilePath = N'E:\MSSQL\DATA\DB\'
SET #LogFilePath = N'E:\MSSQL\DATA\Logs\'
SELECT #sql = 'USE MASTER'
EXEC (#sql)
SELECT #sql = 'CREATE DATABASE '+ quotename(#DBNAME) + '
ON
PRIMARY
(
NAME = ''' + #DBNAME + '_DB'',
FILENAME = ''' + #DataFilePath + #DBNAME + '.mdf'',
SIZE = 3136 KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED,
FILEGROWTH = 1024 KB
)
LOG ON
(
NAME = '''+ #DBNAME + '_Log'',
FILENAME = '''+ #LogFilePath+ #DBNAME + '_log.ldf'',
SIZE = 832KB , MAXSIZE = 2048 GB , FILEGROWTH = 10 %
)'
EXEC (#sql)
See this link : CREATE DATABASE (Transact-SQL)
CREATE DATABASE [ADestinyDb] CONTAINMENT = NONE ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'ADestinyDb',

FILENAME = N'D:\temp\dbFolder\_log.ldf' ,
SIZE = 832KB , MAXSIZE = 2048 GB , FILEGROWTH = 10 %)
Create folder on your file system: D:\temp\dbFolder\ and run the below script
(try 'sa' login)
USE master
CREATE DATABASE [faltu] ON PRIMARY
