Is there a query in SQL Server 2005 I can use to get the server's IP or name?
Is there a query in SQL Server 2005 I can use to get the server's IP or name?
You can get the[hostname]\[instancename] by:
SELECT @@SERVERNAME;
To get only the hostname when you have hostname\instance name format:
SELECT LEFT(ltrim(rtrim(@@ServerName)), Charindex('\', ltrim(rtrim(@@ServerName))) -1)
Alternatively as @GilM pointed out:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName')
You can get the actual IP address using this:
create Procedure sp_get_ip_address (@ip varchar(40) out)
as
begin
Declare @ipLine varchar(200)
Declare @pos int
set nocount on
set @ip = NULL
Create table #temp (ipLine varchar(200))
Insert #temp exec master..xp_cmdshell 'ipconfig'
select @ipLine = ipLine
from #temp
where upper (ipLine) like '%IP ADDRESS%'
if (isnull (@ipLine,'***') != '***')
begin
set @pos = CharIndex (':',@ipLine,1);
set @ip = rtrim(ltrim(substring (@ipLine ,
@pos + 1 ,
len (@ipLine) - @pos)))
end
drop table #temp
set nocount off
end
go
declare @ip varchar(40)
exec sp_get_ip_address @ip out
print @ip
The server might have multiple IP addresses that it is listening on. If your connection has the VIEW SERVER STATE server permission granted to it, you can run this query to get the address you have connected to SQL Server:
SELECT dec.local_net_address
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections AS dec
WHERE dec.session_id = @@SPID;
This solution does not require you to shell out to the OS via xp_cmdshell, which is a technique that should be disabled (or at least strictly secured) on a production server. It may require you to grant VIEW SERVER STATE to the appropriate login, but that is a far smaller security risk than running xp_cmdshell.
The technique mentioned by GilM for the server name is the preferred one:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(N'MachineName');
--Try this script it works to my needs. Reformat to read it.
SELECT
SERVERPROPERTY('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBios') as 'Is_Current_Owner'
,SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') as 'MachineName'
,case when @@ServiceName =
Right (@@Servername,len(@@ServiceName)) then @@Servername
else @@servername +' \ ' + @@Servicename
end as '@@Servername \ Servicename',
CONNECTIONPROPERTY('net_transport') AS net_transport,
CONNECTIONPROPERTY('local_tcp_port') AS local_tcp_port,
dec.local_tcp_port,
CONNECTIONPROPERTY('local_net_address') AS local_net_address,
dec.local_net_address as 'dec.local_net_address'
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections AS dec
WHERE dec.session_id = @@SPID;
A simpler way to get the machine name without the \InstanceName is:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName')
