Hi,
I have a console application whose purpose is to run the OSQL utility
from
my console application.
When my application is run, the OSQL utility is started and it has to
prompt for Database UserName & Password [Database Name & SQL files will
be provided as other options for this OSQL].
But i am having problems in getting from the prompt, Database -
UserName & Password
Once I get userName & Password, i already have the Database Server Name
& SQL file
Now i will install the SQL files on the particular database
Here is the code
static void Main(string[] args)
{
String[] sConnectionStri ng;
try
{
ProcessStartInf o psi = new ProcessStartInf o("osql.exe", "-Usa
-Psa");
psi.RedirectSta ndardOutput=fal se;
psi.RedirectSta ndardInput=fals e;
psi.RedirectSta ndardError=fals e;
psi.UseShellExe cute=false;
psi.CreateNoWin dow=true;
Process proc = Process.Start (psi);
ProcessOutputRe ader por = new ProcessOutputRe ader (proc);
por.Start();
proc.StandardIn put.WriteLine (@"go");
Console.ReadLin e();
proc.StandardIn put.WriteLine ("Hello");
proc.StandardIn put.WriteLine ("there");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("{0}",e.ToSt ring());
}
}
class ProcessOutputRe ader
{
Process proc;
public ProcessOutputRe ader (Process proc)
{
this.proc = proc;
}
public void Start()
{
new Thread (new
ThreadStart(Rea dAll)).Start();
}
void ReadAll()
{
StreamReader reader =
proc.StandardOu tput;
string line;
while ((line =
reader.ReadLine ())!=null)
Console.WriteLi ne ("Process
output: {0}", line);
}
}

You want to use -U sa -P sa with the spaces.

Also I think you will need to specify server -S and database name -d
so you end up with the equivalent of
osql -S myServer -d myDatabase -U user -P password

osql will not prompt for the password, you have to pass all arguments to the
osql command before strting osql.
That means you prompt the user to enter the arguments, read them using
ReadLine(), parse them and pass them to the argument string in your
Process.Start command.

Hi Willy,
Is it something
1. call the OSQL with parameters of User, Password, Server, SQL files
[any order I guess]
2. Once the authentication is done, get the User & Pwd from, prompt the
user
as thogh he is entering the U & Pwd, then start installing the SQL
files?
Are these two steps in right order? Can you if you can send me the
possible code. I would be greatful to learn about this.
Thanks

No, the right order is:
1. Prompt the user and password ...
2. Use the values from above to connect to SQL server using osql.
Something like this to get you started...
string server = "someSQLInstanc e";
string user, password;
// Prompt user to enter user and password
Console.Write(" Enter User:");
user = Console.ReadLin e();
Console.Write(" Enter Password:");
password = Console.ReadLin e();
string osqlArgs = String.Format(" /S {0} /U {1} /P {2}", server, user,
password);
....
ProcessStartInf o psi = new ProcessStartInf o("osql.exe",os qlArgs);
// rest of your code
//....

I had tried the foll code, seems its working okay, but i have couple of

I want the password to be entered as ******, not as actual characters,

In this case you'll have to turn-off the console echo mode. There is no
support for this in the FCL, so you'll have to PInvoke some console API's.
Following is a sample.
using ...
using System.Runtime. InteropServices ;
public class class1
{
[DllImport("Kern el32")]
extern static IntPtr GetStdHandle(in t inp);
[DllImport("Kern el32")]
extern static bool GetConsoleMode( IntPtr handle, ref uint mode);
[DllImport("Kern el32")]
extern static bool SetConsoleMode( IntPtr handle, uint mode);
static uint ENABLE_ECHO_INP UT = 0x0004;
static void Main() {
...
password = GetPasswordFrom Console();
string osqlArgs = String.Format(" ....
...
} // end Main
static string GetPasswordFrom Console() {
IntPtr hCon = GetStdHandle(-10);
uint oldMode = 0;
GetConsoleMode( hCon, ref oldMode);
uint newMode = oldMode & ~ENABLE_ECHO_IN PUT;
SetConsoleMode( hCon, newMode);
// Prompt user to enter password
Console.Write(" Enter password: ");
string pwd = Console.ReadLin e();
Console.WriteLi ne();
SetConsoleMode( hCon, oldMode);
return pwd;
}
| Enter User:sa
| Enter Password:sa

| Process output: (1 row affected)

Well, just parse the returned string, but I'm affraid you will have to do it
yourself. Hint take a look at the String.Index and String.IndexOf and
String.Substrin g methods.
