I forgot to mention that this command works on current database, so be sure to issue USE databasename before running.

No, it's not the only way. You can use the DBCC SHRINKFILE command.

Usually, for the MDF file (file_id=0) you can use:

DBCC SHRINKFILE(0,0)

It shrinks the file with id = 0 (usually...

It must be some missing property in the connection string. What does product documentation say?

Double post. See this.

What can I say? Good luck and go ahead 😛

I don't see the question here... Which problems did you find doing this?

If you are looking for a sort of...

In SSMS open the shrink files dialog and choose the MDF file from the dropdown list. Does any free space show up? If so, try shrinking it with the "reorganize...

Glad I could help.

I've seen even worse things in my app (Visual Basic):

Try this:

SELECT A.*, AV = (

SELECT AVG(amount)

WHERE B.product_id = A.product_id

AND B.order_id IN (

Try this:

EXEC ('USE databasename; EXEC(''CREATE SCHEMA common'')') AT [127.0.0.1]

It's horrible, but it should work.

Edited: bug in code. Should be ok now.

To use output values you have to set up the call with an existing variable:

DECLARE @var smallint

exec sp_TLCOMSCandExpertiseArea @CandID = 45,@ExpertiseArea = 11,@var output

SELECT @var

Try not setting @var value:

exec sp_TLCOMSCandExpertiseArea @CandID = 45,@ExpertiseArea = 11,@var output

Set ServerName=ArgObj.Item(0)

should be changed to

ServerName=ArgObj.Item(0)

because in VBScript Set is used to assign objects only, not primitive types.

Hope this helps
