Start/Stop server via command line!!!

  • How can I start/stop SQL Server via command line? I need to know this for a script that I'm writing.

  • Hi,

    use net stop mssqlserver

  • To stop

    NET STOP MSSQLSERVER

    or if you are also running sql agent (It will ask if you want to stop related services the /y answer that without user input)

    NET STOP MSSQLSERVER /y

    To start

    NET START MSSQLSERVER

    or if you are also running sql agent (because agent requires SQL Server to be able to run SQL will be started automatically first).

    NET START SQLSERVERAGENT

  • Thanks. Another thing I was wondering how to do was to check to see if SP2 is installed.

  • Hey,

    With regards to the installed SP...Is this SQL2000? If so, run the following command.

    SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

    For SQL 7, check the following link (too lazy to type it all - this contains the SQL2000 info too!)
