Run SQL on All servers in your inventory

,

There are many times you have to deploy a common code in all of your SQL Servers. I am sure there might be thousands of way to do this, but here is how I do it and it works great. Good thing is - you can either pass SQL Statement or a SQL script (in a file), comma separated server list or use the servers from your inventory database.

----FUNCTION Script:
--this function generates one column table with 
-- all the values from passed commaseparated list

create function udf_generate_inlist_to_table (@list varchar(500))
returns @tbl TABLE (listitem varchar (100) not null) as
begin
declare @posint,
@textposint,
@chunklensmallint,
@strnvarchar(4000),
@tmpstrnvarchar(4000),
@leftovernvarchar(4000)

set @textpos = 1
set @leftover = ''
While @textpos <= datalength(@list)/2
BEGIN
set @chunklen = 4000 - datalength(@leftover) / 2
set @tmpstr = ltrim(@leftover + substring(@list, @textpos, @chunklen))
set @textpos = @textpos + @chunklen

set @pos = charindex(',',@tmpstr)
while @pos > 0
begin
set @str = substring(@tmpstr,1,@pos-1)
insert @tbl (listitem) values(@str)
set @tmpstr = ltrim(substring(@tmpstr,@pos+1,len(@tmpstr)))
set @pos = charindex(',',@tmpstr)
end

set @leftover = @tmpstr
end

if ltrim(rtrim(@leftover)) <> ''
insert @tbl (listitem) values (@leftover)

return
end


----STORED PROCEDURE SCRIPT:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_RunSQLonAllServers] --'SQLdbadev01,sqldbadev02,sqldbadev03','dba_stat',@SQLStatement = 'select name from sysobjects where type = ''u'''
@ServerList varchar(8000) = NULL,
@DbName varchar(50),
@SQLFile varchar(200) = NULL,
@SQLStatement varchar(8000) = NULL,
@OutPutFile varchar(200) = 'e:\batch_admin\usp_RunSQLonALLServers.log'
AS

set nocount on
declare @machine varchar(50),
@cmdvarchar(8000),
@rcint,
@errornumint,
@errormsgvarchar(500),
@RowCount int

set @cmd = 'echo > ' + @outputfile
exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd

if @ServerList is NULL
declare machine_name cursor for 
select Server from <YOUR SERVER INVENTORY TABLE>
else 
declare machine_name cursor for 
select listitem from dbo.udf_generate_inlist_to_table(@ServerList)  -- this function generates one column table with 
-- all the values from passed commaseparated list

open machine_name

FETCH NEXT FROM machine_name 
INTO @machine

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
if @SQLFile is not NULL
set @cmd = 'osql -S' + @machine + ' -d' + @dbname + ' -w8000 -E -h-1 -s"|" -n -b -i' + @SQLFile + ' >>' + @OutPutFile
else if @SQLStatement is not null
set @cmd = 'osql -S' + @machine + ' -d' + @dbname + ' -w8000 -E -h-1 -s"|" -n -b -Q"set nocount on '+ @SQLStatement + '" >>' + @OutPutFile
print @cmd
exec @rc = master..xp_cmdshell @cmd---, no_output
if @rc <> 0
print 'Unable to connect to ' + @machine + '.' + @dbname + '. Check the Output for detail'

FETCH NEXT FROM machine_name 
   INTO @machine
END

CLOSE machine_name
DEALLOCATE machine_name
GO
