Good Afternoon.
I'm trying to write a "quick and dirty" package in VS2010 to provide me space usage for a database.
This is the query I'm now running manually in SSMS:
use WAREHOUSE
go
exec sp_spaceused
go
dbcc sqlperf(logspace)
go
select getdate()
go
In my Data Flow Task / OLE DB Source / SQL Command text, running just exec sp_spaceused throws an error.
Replacing the query with a simple "select * from SampleTable" the task works fine.
? Any ideas why sp_spaceused will not work ?
Thank-you

Because it returns multiple result sets.

Depending on what version of SQL you are using you can use the 'oneresultset = 1' parameter.
That being said I do believe that is a fairly recent change. You can just break down the procedure your self, strip it down and create a new procedure to only return what you need.

Thank-you all.
When I just run
"exec sp_spaceused"
This is the error I get:

Phil,
Your last comment confuses me.
I gave you my environment (Data Flow Task / OLE DB Source / SQL Command text)
I gave you the code I ran ( exec sp_paceused)
I gave you the results (TITLE: Package Validation Error

You are trying to use the results of a stored procedure which generates more than one resultset as a data source.
You also seem to have ignored the suggestion that you use this instead:
EXEC sys.sp_spaceused @oneresultset = 1
Which does return a single resultset.
I believe that multiple result sets are the reason for the problems you are experiencing, but you are persisting in trying to use them, so I gave you a link that describes how to do it.

Phil,
Hi.
First off, thank-you for helping.

When you ask a question (and please do ask a question: "My T-SQL does not work" just doesn't cut it), please provide enough information for us to understand its context.
I tried your suggestion:
EXEC sys.sp_spaceused @oneresultset = 1
Unfortunately, I still get the same error message.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 against a 2012 SQL Server instance
I reviewed your posts. I do not see a link (or any link for that matter) with regards to @oneresultset

OK, try this instead. Worked for me on 2016 anyway.
EXEC sys.sp_spaceused @oneresultset = 1
with result sets
(
(
database_name sysname,
database_size varchar(50),
unallocated_space varchar(50),
reserved varchar(50),
data varchar(50),
index_size varchar(50),
unused varchar(50)
)
)
