Using mssql database on linux ============================= Turns out it is possible to use ms-sqlserver under linux https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/quickstart-install-connect-ubuntu?view=sql-server-ver16&tabs=ubuntu2004 controlling the beast .... .. code-block:: none systemctl status mssql-server systemctl stop mssql-server systemctl disable mssql-server systemctl enable mssql-server A nice GUI would be cool!! https://dbeaver.io sudo add-apt-repository ppa:serge-rider/dbeaver-ce sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dbeaver-ce And now .. a way to get Volvo vida files accessible under linux. This allows for exporting data and having access to stored procedures. (the tools on windows seemed rather limiting...) .. code-block:: none /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S . -U sa -P GunnarS3g3 -Q "CREATE DATABASE BaseData_Data ON (FILENAME = '/var/opt/mssql/data/BaseData_Data.MDF'),(FILENAME = '/var/opt/mssql/data/BaseData_Data_log.ldf' ) FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG" /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S . -U sa -P GunnarS3g3 -Q "CREATE DATABASE CARCOM ON (FILENAME = '/twee/volvo/CarComRT_Data.MDF'),(FILENAME = '/twee/volvo/CarcomRT_Log.LDF' ) FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG" /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S . -U sa -P GunnarS3g3 -Q "CREATE DATABASE DIAGSWDLREPOSITORY ON (FILENAME = '/twee/volvo/DiagSwdlRepository_Data.MDF'),(FILENAME = '/twee/volvo/DiagSwdlRepository_log.LDF ' ) FOR ATTACH" /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S . -U sa -P GunnarS3g3 -Q "CREATE DATABASE DIAGSWDLSESSION ON (FILENAME = '/twee/volvo/DiagSwdlSession_Data.MDF'),(FILENAME = '/twee/volvo/DiagSwdlSession_log.LDF' ) FOR ATTACH" In Dbeaver the stored procedure can be executed, by right clicking. It then opens a new windows, where you can add the parameter. To execute a stored procedure in SQL Server that requires a parameter, you can use the EXEC statement followed by the name of the stored procedure and provide the parameter value within parentheses. Here's how you can pass a parameter to the stored procedure [dbo].[vadis_GetEcuVariantData]: .. code-block:: none USE [CARCOM] DECLARE @return_value int DECLARE @parameter_name int = 821 EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[vadis_GetEcuVariantData]@parameter_name SELECT 'Return Value' = @return_value it return DiagNumber : 30728270 AA +-------------+----------+-----+----+-----+-----+-------+-----+------------+ | DiagNumber | EcuTypeI | EcuI| Add| Ecu | Nam | CfgId | Gwy | ProtocolId | +=============+==========+=====+====+=====+=====+=======+=====+============+ | 30728270 AA | 372,302 | CEM | 52 | 821 | CEM | 611 | | 7 | +-------------+----------+-----+----+-----+-----+-------+-----+------------+
