Adding Field or Stored Procedure to MSDE

Is there a way to add a field or a stored procedure to a server running MSDE? Like a script on the command line or?? how can this be done.

Thank you,Sure can. Check out the osql command-line utility, which lets you run individual T-SQL statements or script files. Or, there are several tools you can use to manage MSDE:

ASP.NET Enterprise Manager, an open source SQL Server and MSDE management tool.

ASP.NET WebMatrix (which includes a database management tool) from this web site (click on the Web Matrix tab at the top of this page).

Microsoft's Web Data Administrator is a free web-based MSDE management program written using C# and ASP.NET, and includes source code.

You can also access MSDE using Access.

Don|||If I write a stored procedure and then script it, how can I use osql to run the script and add the sp to a database on the server? Can you show me an example? Do I create a cmd file that contains the script?

Thank you,|||Here's how you run a script file:

osql -E -i "myScripts.sql"

And to run a line of T-SQL directly:

osql -E -Q "DROP DATABASE pubs"

There are a gaggle of options for osql, so you'll need to look at the docs to use the ones appropriate for your setup.
