Solution 1 - Sql
-
Expand the SQL Server Agent node and right click the Jobs node in SQL Server Agent and select
'New Job'
-
In the
'New Job'
window enter the name of the job and a description on the'General'
tab. -
Select
'Steps'
on the left hand side of the window and click'New'
at the bottom. -
In the
'Steps'
window enter a step name and select the database you want the query to run against. -
Paste in the T-SQL command you want to run into the Command window and click
'OK'
. -
Click on the
'Schedule'
menu on the left of the New Job window and enter the schedule information (e.g. daily and a time). -
Click
'OK'
- and that should be it.
(There are of course other options you can add - but I would say that is the bare minimum you need to get a job set up and scheduled)

To do this in t-sql, you can use the following system stored procedures to schedule a daily job. This example schedules daily at 1:00 AM. See Microsoft help for details on syntax of the individual stored procedures and valid range of parameters.
DECLARE @job_name NVARCHAR(128), @description NVARCHAR(512), @owner_login_name NVARCHAR(128), @database_name NVARCHAR(128);
SET @job_name = N'Some Title';
SET @description = N'Periodically do something';
SET @owner_login_name = N'login';
SET @database_name = N'Database_Name';
-- Delete job if it already exists:
IF EXISTS(SELECT job_id FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs WHERE (name = @job_name))
BEGIN
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_delete_job
@job_name = @job_name;
END
-- Create the job:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_job
@job_name=@job_name,
@enabled=1,
@notify_level_eventlog=0,
@notify_level_email=2,
@notify_level_netsend=2,
@notify_level_page=2,
@delete_level=0,
@description=@description,
@category_name=N'[Uncategorized (Local)]',
@owner_login_name=@owner_login_name;
-- Add server:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobserver @job_name=@job_name;
-- Add step to execute SQL:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep
@job_name=@job_name,
@step_name=N'Execute SQL',
@step_id=1,
@cmdexec_success_code=0,
@on_success_action=1,
@on_fail_action=2,
@retry_attempts=0,
@retry_interval=0,
@os_run_priority=0,
@subsystem=N'TSQL',
@command=N'EXEC my_stored_procedure; -- OR ANY SQL STATEMENT',
@database_name=@database_name,
@flags=0;
-- Update job to set start step:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_update_job
@job_name=@job_name,
@enabled=1,
@start_step_id=1,
@notify_level_eventlog=0,
@notify_level_email=2,
@notify_level_netsend=2,
@notify_level_page=2,
@delete_level=0,
@description=@description,
@category_name=N'[Uncategorized (Local)]',
@owner_login_name=@owner_login_name,
@notify_email_operator_name=N'',
@notify_netsend_operator_name=N'',
@notify_page_operator_name=N'';
-- Schedule job:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobschedule
@job_name=@job_name,
@name=N'Daily',
@enabled=1,
@freq_type=4,
@freq_interval=1,
@freq_subday_type=1,
@freq_subday_interval=0,
@freq_relative_interval=0,
@freq_recurrence_factor=1,
@active_start_date=20170101, --YYYYMMDD
@active_end_date=99991231, --YYYYMMDD (this represents no end date)
@active_start_time=010000, --HHMMSS
@active_end_time=235959; --HHMMSS

Using T-SQL:
My job is executing stored procedure. You can easy change @command
to run your sql.
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_job
@job_name = N'MakeDailyJob',
@enabled = 1,
@description = N'Procedure execution every day' ;
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep
@job_name = N'MakeDailyJob',
@step_name = N'Run Procedure',
@subsystem = N'TSQL',
@command = 'exec BackupFromConfig';
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_schedule
@schedule_name = N'Everyday schedule',
@freq_type = 4, -- daily start
@freq_interval = 1,
@active_start_time = '230000' ; -- start time 23:00:00
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_attach_schedule
@job_name = N'MakeDailyJob',
@schedule_name = N'Everyday schedule' ;
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobserver
@job_name = N'MakeDailyJob',
@server_name = @@servername ;
Solution 5 - Sql
if You want daily backup // following sql script store in C:\Users\admin\Desktop\DBScript\DBBackUpSQL.sql
DECLARE @pathName NVARCHAR(512),
@databaseName NVARCHAR(512) SET @databaseName = 'Databasename' SET @pathName = 'C:\DBBackup\DBData\DBBackUp' + Convert(varchar(8), GETDATE(), 112) + '_' + Replace((Convert(varchar(8), GETDATE(), 108)),':','-')+ '.bak' BACKUP DATABASE @databaseName TO DISK = @pathName WITH NOFORMAT,
INIT,
NAME = N'',
SKIP,
NOREWIND,
NOUNLOAD,
STATS = 10
GO
open the Task scheduler
create task-> select Triggers
tab Select New
.
Button Select Daily Radio button
click Ok
Button
then click Action
tab Select New.
Button Put "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE"
-S ADMIN-PC -i "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\DBScript\DBBackUpSQL.sql"
in the program/script text box(make sure Match your files path and Put the double quoted path in start-> search box and if it find then click it and see the backup is there or not)
-- the above path may be insted 100 write 90 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE" -S ADMIN-PC -i
"C:\Users\admin\Desktop\DBScript\DBBackUpSQL.sql"
then click ok button
the Script will execute on time which you select on Trigger tab on daily basis
enjoy it.............

Here's a sample code:
Exec sp_add_schedule
@schedule_name = N'SchedulName'
@freq_type = 1
@active_start_time = 08300
