SMO

========

SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) are objects designed for programmatic management of Microsoft SQL Server.

We can integrate SMO into any .NET based applications.

SMO is also compatible with SQL Server version 7.0, SQL Server 2000, and SQL Server 2005, which makes it easy to manage a multi-version environment.

Following code is used to run the Microsoft SQL Server Query files(script files) kept in

applications bin\Debug folder, with SMO.

VB.Net Code:

===================

' References used

Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common

' Holds the script for creating tables in database.

Dim tableText As String

' Path of table creation script in the project folder.

Dim tableFileName As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath &

"\ScriptFile\TablesScripts.sql"

Dim srvMgmtServer As Server = New Server()
Dim srvConn As ServerConnection
Dim objDB As Database = srvMgmtServer.Databases("DatabaseName")

srvConn = srvMgmtServer.ConnectionContext
srvConn.ServerInstance = "ServerName"
srvConn.LoginSecure = False

If srvConn.LoginSecure = False Then

           srvConn.Login = "UserName"
           srvConn.Password = "Password"

End If

Using FileReader As New _
Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser(tableFileName)
tableText = FileReader.ReadToEnd
End Using

If tableText <> "" Then

objDB.ExecuteNonQuery(tableText)

End If
