Query command

Use the query command to display information about the SQL Server and its databases, about the IBM Storage® Protect server and its backup objects, and about Data Protection for SQL Server.

Considerations:
  • Some of the information displays may have long text lines. You can redirect the informational output of the Data Protection for SQL Server query command to a text file using the Windows™ command output redirection syntax (command prompt):
    TDPcommandstatement > [[drive:]path\]filename.ext
    This creates or replaces the file.
    TDPcommandstatement >> [[drive:]path\]filename.ext
    This appends to the file.

    You can then browse or edit the file.

  • You can use the Windows more filter command (command prompt) to display the informational output one screen at a time, in conjunction with the Windows command pipe character: TDPcommandstatement | more
