OTL 4.0, Example 688 (MS SQL Server 2005/2008 BACKUP command)

This example demonstrates how to use the MS SQL Server BACKUP command with OTL. BACKUP command returns right away (after SQLExecDirect() call), so otl_connect::direct_exec() can't be used. Calls to SQLGetDiagRec() and SQLMoreResults() need to be made in order to get the BACKUP command's output diagnostic records.

Source Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <stdio.h>

// function that recognizes BACKUP and DBCC commands, and returns "true".
inline bool sql_statement_with_diag_rec_output(const char* stm_text)
{
if(strncmp(stm_text,"BACKUP",6)==0)
return true;
else if(strncmp(stm_text,"DBCC",4)==0)
return true;
else
return false;
}

// #define OTL_ODBC_MSSQL_2005 // Compile OTL 4/ODBC, MS SQL 2005
#define OTL_ODBC_MSSQL_2008 // Compile OTL 4/ODBC, MS SQL 2008
#define OTL_ODBC_SQL_STATEMENT_WITH_DIAG_REC_OUTPUT sql_statement_with_diag_rec_output

#include <otlv4.h> // include the OTL 4.0 header file

otl_connect db; // connect object
int main()
{
 otl_connect::otl_initialize(); // initialize the environment
 try{

  db.rlogon("scott/tiger@mssql2008",1);
// connect to the database in the "auto-commit" mode
// in order to avoid generating transactions.

otl_nocommit_stream stm;
// the OTL "nocommit" stream doesn't generate any COMMITs,
// which is needed for the BACKUP command.

short int rec_ndx=1; // diagnostic record index
SQLCHAR sql_state[1000]; // "SQL state" buffer
SQLCHAR msg[SQL_MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH+1]; // diagnostic record / message buffer
int native_error; // native error code
SQLRETURN ret; // return value (for SQLMoreResults() calls)

const char* cmd = "BACKUP DATABASE master TO DISK='d:\\master.bak'";

stm.open(1,cmd,db);
// the stream recognizes the command as an "SQL statement
// with diagnostic record output" with the help of
// the sql_statement_with_diag_rec_output() function.
// the stream executes the statement right away with an
// SQLExecDirect() function call, which, in the case
// of a BACKUP statement returns right away.

bool done;
// get all diagnostic records from the BACKUP command
do{
done=stm.get_next_diag_rec
(rec_ndx,
sql_state,
msg,
sizeof(msg),
native_error);
cout<<msg<<endl;
// BACKUP command generates multiple results,
// so we need to check if there are more results
ret=SQLMoreResults(stm.get_stm_handle());
if(ret==SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO){
done=false;
rec_ndx=1; // in order to start a new diagnostic record
// sequence, the record index needs to be set
// to 1.
}
}while(!done);
stm.close();

 }

 catch(otl_exception& p){ // intercept OTL exceptions
  cerr<<p.msg<<endl; // print out error message
  cerr<<p.sqlstate<<endl; // print out SQLSTATE 
  cerr<<p.stm_text<<endl; // print out SQL that caused the error
  cerr<<p.var_info<<endl; // print out the variable that caused the error
 }

 db.logoff(); // disconnect from the database

 return 0;

}
