How to schedule script execution in sql server?

In SQL Server, you can schedule script execution using the following methods:

1. Utilize SQL Server Agent Job: SQL Server Agent is an optional component of SQL Server that can be used to schedule and execute timed tasks. You can create an agent job, include the script to be executed as part of the job, and specify the scheduling time for the job. Agent jobs can be set to run at specified intervals, daily, weekly, or monthly.
2. By using the Windows Task Scheduler, you can schedule the execution of SQL scripts. Start by saving the script you want to execute as a batch file (.bat) or a PowerShell script file (.ps1). Next, create a new task in the Windows Task Scheduler, specify the batch file or PowerShell script file to be executed, and set the schedule for the task.
3. Utilizing third-party tools: There are also various third-party tools available that can assist in scheduling the execution of SQL scripts, such as Cronacle, SQL Scheduler, and SQL Server Automation Toolkit. These tools offer greater flexibility and functionality, making it easier to manage and schedule timed tasks.

Whichever method you choose, make sure to have sufficient permissions to execute the script, as well as properly configure the database connection information and the script’s path.
