Query command

Use the query command to display information about the SQL Server and its databases, about the IBM Spectrum 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
