Good afternoon - I am looking for a quick idea of a way to build a small GUI that a user can input the parameter, then click a submit button, which will in turn run a script on the database and pass the value to the query. I am sure there is a quick and easy way, but cannot think of one at the moment.
This is a quick script that I am running for a user too often, and don't really want to give them server access or ssms on their machine.
Thanks,
Brian

Pick a programming language and write it. Just make sure you parameterize your query.

i would lean towards a web page that accepts the user input, and performs the work behind the scenes.

SSRS would work.

My preference would be VS, or ssrs, just not sure how to approach it.

Below is a link to a 15 line sample Powershell script that prompts for input parameters, and then connects to SQL Server and executes stored procedure using those parameters.

It also shows how to export resultset to .csv file, but that part can be removed, if the procedure call is not for reporting purposes.
