Capturing messages from long-running batches

Hi all,

The problem I'm having is actually documented as a bug in all versions of
ADO through and including 2.7, but it seems to be true in 2.8, too, so I
assume the article simply hasn't been updated.

I need to execute a long-running stored procedure that uses RAISEERROR to
report progress as warning messages. If I run the command synchronously, I
can read all the messages from ADO, but not until the procedure is done.
If I run the command asynchronously, the messages never appear in the
Errors collection.

Has anyone come up with a work-around for this?

Thanks,

- Steve J

By the way, I also tried DAO's ODBC-Direct for asynchronous execution, but
it doesn't seem to return warning messages in either synchronous or
asynchronous mode, though it does return a non-sense type conversion error
at some points.

Depending on how you want to accept these messages, it can be
xp_cmdshell(net send), or writing in a file monitored by your application,
or in eventlog, or even sending emails...

Well, none of those sound practical, but if I take that one step farther
and write to a table <g> - I think that might work.

Thank you Vadim
 
Hi Steve,

Could you please post the article num/link that states the bug you
mentioned?

You may want to refer to the sample in the article for asynchronously
executing a command:

Asynchronously Executing a Command
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmdac/html
/wpmdac_tf_asynchronously_executing.asp

Please feel free to reply to the threads if you have any concerns or
questions.
