SQL Server - Running large script files

use the sqlcmd tool to execute the file..

sqlcmd -S myServer\instanceName -i C:\myScript.sql

In case your have an unexplained "script error" for large sql files (> 100MB) which includes several INSERT, just replace "INSERT INTO" by "GO INSERT INTO" in your file, which will reduce size of transaction.


This tool (Big SQL Script File Runner) on CodePlex will run any size script file with log and GUI.
