Digging More into SQL Server 2000 Using Client-side JavaScript - How to retrieve database file information related to a particular SQL Server 2000 database using JavaScript
(Page 4 of 6 )
Now, let us try to develop a simple script (JavaScript) which shows the physical database file information related to a particular database existing in a SQL Server 2000 instance. The entire code for the sample is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET .1">
<meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://
schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">
<script id="clientEventHandlersJS" language="javascript">
<!--
function Button1_onclick() {
var locator = new ActiveXObject ("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator");
var service = locator.ConnectServer(".","rootMicrosoftSQLServer");
var properties = service.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM MSSQL_DatabaseFile where DatabaseName='Northwind'");
var e = new Enumerator (properties);
document.write("<table border=1>");
dispHeading();
for (;!e.atEnd();e.moveNext ())
{
var p = e.item ();
document.write("<tr>");
document.write("<td>" + p.Name + "</td>");
document.write("<td>" + p.PhysicalName + "</td>");
document.write("</tr>");
}
document.write("</table>");
}
function dispHeading()
{
document.write("<thead>");
document.write("<td>Name</td>");
document.write("<td>Path</td>");
document.write("</thead>");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body> <INPUT id="Button1" type="button" value="Button" name="Button1"
language="javascript" onclick="return Button1_onclick()">
</body>
</html>
The above code would automatically list all the logical names of database files and the physical path information for those files. To retrieve this information, I used a built-in class, “MSSQL_DatabaseFile” available in the “rootMicrosoftSQLServer” namespace.
The “for” loop I used in the above code iterates for every database file in the SQL Server database and finally retrieves only the properties of that file.
