I am trying to copy the rows returned from a RESTORE FILELISTONLY command into a temp table so that I can get the current column structure so I can then query the results to further filter them.
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1 GO RECONFIGURE GO
SELECT a.* into #tmp FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI','Server=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=yes;','RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK =''c:\code3Billing\ClientSQLData\Master\code3billing.bak''') as a
but I am getting an error
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 4 Cannot process the object "RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK ='c:\code3Billing\ClientSQLData\Master\code3billing.bak'". The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(null)" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object.
I have permissions since I can run the RESTORE command as a stand-alone. I am sure there are columns since I can see them when I do run the command as stand-alone.
Does anyone have any insight here?

Hi,
Not sure if this will help, but you should be able to achieve the same thing this way...
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_TestRestore AS BEGIN RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'c:\code3Billing\ClientSQLData\Master\code3billing.bak' END GO
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Restore') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Restore
CREATE TABLE #Restore ( LogicalName NVARCHAR(128), PhysicalName NVARCHAR(260), [Type] CHAR(1), FileGroupName NVARCHAR(128), Size NUMERIC(20,0), MaxSize NUMERIC(20,0), FileID BIGINT, CreateLSN NUMERIC(25,0), DropLSN NUMERIC(25,0), UniqueID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, ReadOnlyLSN NUMERIC(25,0), ReadWriteLSN NUMERIC(25,0), BackupSizeInBytes BIGINT, SourceBlockSize INT, FileGroupID INT, LogGroupGUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, DifferentialBaseLSN NUMERIC(25,0), DifferentialBaseGUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, IsReadOnly BIT, IsPresent BIT, TDEThumbprint VARBINARY(32) ) INSERT #Restore EXEC usp_TestRestore SELECT * FROM #Restore

If you embed your RESTORE FILELISTONLY in an EXEC statement, you can still use your OPENROWSET approach
SELECT a.* INTO #tmp FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI','Server=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=yes', 'EXEC(''SET FMTONLY OFF RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK=''''C:\code3Billing\ClientSQLData\Master\code3billing.bak'''''')') AS a

I would also like to do a similar thing with the HEADERONLY but when I try to clone your code I get an error. Here is my code:
SELECT a.* INTO #hdr FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI','Server=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=yes', 'EXEC(''SET FMT OFF RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK =''''c:\code3Billing\ClientSQLData\Master\code3billing.bak '''''')') AS a
Here is the error:
Cannot process the object "EXEC('SET FMT OFF RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK =''c:\code3Billing\ClientSQLData\Master\code3billing.bak ''')". The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(null)" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object.
Am I missing something???

I think you're just missing the SET FMTONLY OFF setting
SELECT a.* INTO #hdr FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI','Server=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=yes', 'EXEC(''SET FMTONLY OFF RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK =''''c:\code3Billing\ClientSQLData\Master\code3billing.bak '''''')') AS a

I realize this post is old... but it helped me solved my issue with capturing RESTORE HEADERONLY data into a temp table.
Cheers! :)
