Hi,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Are you sure that you want to run for every second????<br />
Establishing the connection and execute statement will take a while(typically more than a second).<br />
And also burden on server if you run like that

Hi,

If you are convinced, you need to run it every second - There is an alternative, to include the script in an infinite while loop (while 1=1) with a Waitfor command (SYNTAX: WAITFOR DELAY '000:00:01').<br />
<br />
This does not run the script for every second but will ensure that there is a time gap of 1 ssecond between successive executions.<br />
<br />
Please consider implementing this only if you think it meets ur requirements as running something for every 1 second is not advisable.<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Hi rocky_lotus_newbie:<br />

I don't mind a gap of one second. &nbsp;If I use the syntax that you used, such as WAITFORDELAY '000:00:01', would that do what you're suggesting (i.e. have a gap of one second) and allow for a safe run of my script?

Is it possible to program a SQL job to run constantly? &nbsp;I have a very simple SQL update script that I would like to have run as a job, literally, every second. &nbsp;Unfortunately, it appears that the most that SQL can do is to run a job every 60 seconds.

Having a SQL job constantly run

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
