More complex script when full file paths are required

This one is not my script, but it's too useful not to share.  I ran into an issue while trying to move from a source of SQL 2008 to a destination of SQL 2008 R2 that my restore failed because the file paths were not the same.  So I used this script to generate the backup and restore commands.


SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @Table TABLE (LogicalName varchar(128),[PhysicalName] varchar(128), [Type] varchar, [FileGroupName] varchar(128), [Size] varchar(128),
            [MaxSize] varchar(128), [FileId]varchar(128), [CreateLSN]varchar(128), [DropLSN]varchar(128), [UniqueId]varchar(128), [ReadOnlyLSN]varchar(128), [ReadWriteLSN]varchar(128),
            [BackupSizeInBytes]varchar(128), [SourceBlockSize]varchar(128), [FileGroupId]varchar(128), [LogGroupGUID]varchar(128), [DifferentialBaseLSN]varchar(128), [DifferentialBaseGUID]varchar(128), [IsReadOnly]varchar(128), [IsPresent]varchar(128), [TDEThumbprint]varchar(128))
DECLARE @CMDTable TABLE (Command varchar(4000))
DECLARE @CMDTable2 TABLE (Command varchar(4000))
DECLARE @Name varchar(255),
  @FullFilePath varchar(255),
  @DiffFilePath varchar(255),
  @cmd varchar(4000),
  @LogicalNameData varchar(128),
  @LogicalNameLog varchar(128)
DECLARE MyCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM sys.databases WHERE NOT owner_sid = 0x01
OPEN MyCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM MyCursor INTO @Name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
 SET @FullFilePath = '\\BJOCA4AFGNSP102\B$\SQL\FULL\'+ @Name +'.BAK'
 SET @DiffFilePath = '\\BJOCA4AFGNSP102\B$\SQL\DIFF\'+ @Name +'.BAK'
 SET @cmd = 'BACKUP DATABASE ['+ @Name +'] TO DISK = ''' + @FullFilePath + ''' WITH FORMAT, STATS=10'
 INSERT INTO @CMDTable(Command) VALUES (@cmd)
 SET @cmd = 'BACKUP DATABASE ['+ @Name +'] TO DISK = ''' + @DiffFilePath + ''' WITH FORMAT, DIFFERENTIAL, STATS=10'
 INSERT INTO @CMDTable(Command) VALUES (@cmd)
 INSERT INTO @table EXEC('RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK=''' + @FullFilePath + '''')
 SET @LogicalNameData=(SELECT LogicalName FROM @Table WHERE Type='D')
 SET @LogicalNameLog=(SELECT LogicalName FROM @Table WHERE Type='L')
 SET @cmd = 'RESTORE DATABASE ['+ @Name +'] FROM DISK = ''' + @FullFilePath + ''' WITH MOVE ''' + @LogicalNameLog + ''' TO ''L:\LogFiles\' + @Name + '.LDB'',  MOVE ''' + @LogicalNameData + ''' TO ''M:\DATA\' + @Name + '.MDB'', REPLACE, NORECOVERY'
 INSERT INTO @CMDTable2(Command) VALUES (@cmd)
 SET @cmd = 'RESTORE DATABASE ['+ @Name +'] FROM DISK = ''' + @DiffFilePath + ''' WITH MOVE ''' + @LogicalNameLog + ''' TO ''L:\LogFiles\' + @Name + '.LDB'',  MOVE ''' + @LogicalNameData + ''' TO ''M:\DATA\' + @Name + '.MDB'', RECOVERY'
 INSERT INTO @CMDTable2(Command) VALUES (@cmd)
 DELETE @Table
 FETCH NEXT FROM MyCursor INTO @Name
END
CLOSE MyCursor
DEALLOCATE MyCursor
SELECT Command AS 'Run at source' FROM @CMDTable
SELECT Command AS 'Run at destination' FROM @CMDTable2

Setting SharePoint announcements to auto delete after expiration

Image
Setting announcements to auto delete after expiration One thing that always bugged me was the expiration date attached to an Announcement list that does nothing out of the box. Sure, you could always add a filter and change the default view but as soon as you add an Announcements web part to a page the view is UNFILTERED even if a filtered view is the only one to choose from.  You or I could change the default view, but we can’t trust all users to do so. A workflow would be fine to delete the item – simply pause until the expire date then delete the current item.  The workflow would stick with the template if you saved your list off as a template and then still work when you created a new list from that template.  That’s good, but still relies on the user creating the right Announcement list. The better answer was to change the Announcements default content type.  If anyone asks, tell them it’s called Governance, Sparky. The first step was to go to site sett...

Updating a single field in a SharePoint List using Power Automate Flows

  Updating a single field in a SharePoint List using Power Automate Flows Updating a single field in a SharePoint List using Microsoft Flows (aka Microsoft Power Automate) can be a bit tricky with longer lists with lots of required fields and drop downs possibly resetting your data. The work around is code, but if there are non-developers creating flows, then this process is even more cumbersome. As a result, the Flow below will do the heavy lifting using a separate list and then anyone can populate that list from a different Flow when such a thing is needed. First step: create the list Here’s the input needed in this list. List: The name of the list SiteLink: The link to the site (trim off /lists/xyzlist) IDFromSource: This is the internal ID of the item to update FieldToUpdate: The name of the field you want to update. This is case sensitive. ValueForField: What you want to set it to. Next, create the Flow. Here’s what it will look like   When a Shar...
