Calling A Stored Procedure Within A Stored Procedure
Apr 28, 2008
Hi folks,
I created a stored procedure called td_calculated initially for testing in hopes to later create a function from it. Problem is I'm using a few temp tables which I later found out can't be used inside of a function.
However I learned that it is possible to call a stored procedure within another one. I'm just a little fuzzy on the syntax
Right now td_calculated accepts @case (int) parameter and just displays a single value @td(int). I'd like to know how to allow @td to be passed to another procedure and how to call this one.
Can this be done within a column similar to a scalar function?
Hi all - I'm trying to optimized my stored procedures to be a bit easier to maintain, and am sure this is possible, not am very unclear on the syntax to doing this correctly. For example, I have a simple stored procedure that takes a string as a parameter, and returns its resolved index that corresponds to a record in my database. ie exec dbo.DeriveStatusID 'Created' returns an int value as 1 (performed by "SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName= 'Created') but I also have a second stored procedure that needs to make reference to this procedure first, in order to resolve an id - ie: exec dbo.AddProduct_Insert 'widget1' which currently performs:SET @statusID = (SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName='Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID) I want to simply the insert to perform (in one sproc): SET @statusID = EXEC deriveStatusID ('Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID) This works fine if I call this stored procedure in code first, then pass it to the second stored procedure, but NOT if it is reference in the second stored procedure directly (I end up with an empty value for @statusID in this example). My actual "Insert" stored procedures are far more complicated, but I am working towards lightening the business logic in my application ( it shouldn't have to pre-vet the data prior to executing a valid insert). Hopefully this makes some sense - it doesn't seem right to me that this is impossible, and am fairly sure I'm just missing some simple syntax - can anyone assist?

More Information for you to know: I have the "ssmsExpressDB" database in the Database Expolorer of VB 2005 Express. But I do not know how to get the SqlConnection and the SqlDataAdapter into the Form1. I do not know how to get the Fill Method implemented properly. I try to learn "Working with SELECT Statement in a Stored Procedure" for printing the 6 rows that are selected - they are not parameterized.
Hi,I am getting error when I try to call a stored procedure from another. I would appreciate if someone could give some example.My first Stored Procedure has the following input output parameters:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.FixedCharges @InvoiceNo int,@InvoiceDate smalldatetime,@TotalOut decimal(8,2) outputAS .... I have tried using the following statement to call it from another stored procedure within the same SQLExpress database. It is giving me error near CALL.CALL FixedCharges (@InvoiceNo,@InvoiceDate,@TotalOut )Many thanks in advanceJames
When I am trying to call a function I made from a stored procedure of my creation as well I am getting:
Running [dbo].[DeleteSetByTime].
Cannot find either column "dbo" or the user-defined function or aggregate "dbo.TTLValue", or the name is ambiguous.
No rows affected.
(0 row(s) returned)
@RETURN_VALUE =
Finished running [dbo].[DeleteSetByTime].
This is my function:
ALTER FUNCTION dbo.TTLValue
(
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN SELECT Settings.TTL FROM Settings WHERE Enabled='true'
This is my stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.DeleteSetByTime
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @TTL int
SET @TTL = dbo.TTLValue()
DELETE FROM SetValues WHERE CreatedTime > dateadd(minute, @TTL, CreatedTime)
END
CreatedTime is a datetime column and TTL is an integer column.
I tried calling it by dbo.TTLValue(), dbo.MyDatabase.TTLValue(), [dbo].[MyDatabase].[TTLValue]() and TTLValue(). The last returned an error when saving it "'TTLValue' is not a recognized built-in function name". Can anybody tell me how to call this function from my stored procedure? Also, if anybody knows of a good book or site with tutorials on how to become a pro in T-SQL I will appreciate it.
Hi,I'm tring to call a stored procedure i'v made from a DNN module, via .net control.When I try to execute this sql statement: EXEC my_proc_name 'prm_1', 'prm_2', ... the system displays this error: Could not find stored procedure ''. (including the trailings [".] chars :)I've tried to run the EXEC statement from SqlServerManagement Studio, and seems to works fine, but sometimes it displays the same error. So i've added the dbname and dbowner as prefix to my procedure name in the exec statement and then in SqlSrv ManStudio ALWAYS works, but in dnn it NEVER worked... Why? I think it could be a db permission problem but i'm not able to fix this trouble, since i'm not a db specialist and i don't know which contraint could give this problem. Also i've set to the ASPNET user the execute permissions for my procedure... nothing changes :( Shoud someone could help me? Note that I'm using a SqlDataSource object running the statement with the select() method (and by setting the appropriate SelectCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure ) and I'm using the 2005 sql server express Thank in advance,(/d
Hi Peeps I have a SP that returns xml I have writen another stored proc in which I want to do something like this:Select FieldOne, FieldTwo, ( exec sp_that_returns_xml ( @a, @b) ), FieldThree from TableName But it seems that I cant call the proc from within a select. I have also tried declare @v xml set @v = exec sp_that_returns_xml ( @a, @b) But this again doesn't work I have tried changing the statements syntax i.e. brackets and no brackets etc..., The only way Ive got it to work is to create a temp table, insert the result from the xml proc into it and then set @v as a select from the temp table - Which to be frank is god awful way to do it. Any and all help appreciated. Kal
Hi all,I have a stored procedure that return a resultsete.g. stored proc: get_employee_detailsselect emp_id, emp_name, emp_salary, emp_positionfrom empoloyeeI would like to write another stored procedure that executes the abovestored procedure - returning the same number of records but it willonly show 2 columnse.g. new stored proc: get_employee_pay -- executesget_employee_detailsI only need to know emp_id, emp_salary.How can this be done in sql stored procedure?Thanks,June Moore.
I am writing a set of store procedures (around 30), most of them require the same basic logic to get an ID, I was thinking to add this logic into an stored procedure.
The question is: Would calling an stored procedure from within an stored procedure affect performance? I mean, would it need to create a separate db connection? am I better off copying and pasting the logic into all the store procedures (in terms of performance)?
Hi, I have a while loop stored procedure, I need to send email for each item in the loop using a sendemail stored procedure.

I need to call a stored proc(SPB) from within a stored proc(SPA). I do not want to pass SPB's resultset out of SPA, but I want to do a select on it from within SPA and return a different result set. Below is an example of how I would like to do this, please let me know of any ideas you might have. Thanks,
set @userID = (select memberGUID from member where username = 'karlb')
set @viewID = (select pk_viewDefinitionId viewDefinitionId From ViewDefinition vd Join ViewDefinitionGlobal vdg on vd.fk_viewDefinitionGlobalId = vdg.pk_viewDefinitionGlobalId and vdg.viewDefinitionGlobalName = 'Admin - Organizational Units' and vd.fk_projectId = (select projectguid from project where projectname = 'Cleveland IAS Test'))

I have a simple stored procedure that inserts a record into a table that logs changes. My question is, if this procedure fails for whatever reason will the transaction be rolled back here and in the calling procedure? Thanks.

Hi, i've had this query method: 34 public void AddDagVerslagCategorie(int logID, HistoriekDetail historiekDetail)35 {36 SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection(_connectionString);37 string strSql = "Insert into LogDetail (LogID, CategorieID, Inhoud)";38 strSql += "values(@logID, @categorieID, @inhoud)";39 SqlCommand oCmd = new SqlCommand(strSql, oConn);40 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@logID", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = logID;41 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@categorieID", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = historiekDetail.CategorieID;42 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@inhoud", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100)).Value = historiekDetail.Inhoud;43 44 try45 {46 oConn.Open();47 int rowsAffected = oCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();48 if (rowsAffected == 0) throw new ApplicationException("Fout toevoegen historiek detail");49 oCmd.CommandText = "select @@IDENTITY";50 oCmd.Parameters.Clear();51 historiekDetail.HistoriekDetailID = (int)(decimal)oCmd.ExecuteScalar();52 }53 catch (Exception ex)54 {55 throw new ApplicationException("Fout toevoegen historiek detail: " + ex.Message);56 }57 finally58 {59 if (oConn.State == ConnectionState.Open) oConn.Close();60 }61 } which i've converted to a stored procedure: 1 ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[insert_DagVerslagDetail] 2 -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here 3 @dagverslagdetailID int, 4 @logID int, 5 @categorieID int, 6 @inhoud varchar(100) 7 AS 8 BEGIN 9 -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from 10 -- interfering with SELECT statements. 11 SET NOCOUNT ON; 12 SET @dagverslagdetailID = SCOPE_IDENTITY() 13 14 -- Insert statements for procedure here 15 BEGIN TRANSACTION 16 INSERT LogDetail (LogID, CategorieID, Inhoud) 17 VALUES(@logID, @categorieID, @inhoud) 18 COMMIT TRANSACTION 19 END
Now i would like to call that stored procedure in my previous method, so i've changed it to this: 1 public void AddDagVerslagCategorie(int logID, HistoriekDetail historiekDetail) 2 { 3 SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection(_connectionString); 4 string strSql = "insert_DagVerslagDetail"; 5 strSql += "values(@logID, @categorieID, @inhoud)"; 6 SqlCommand oCmd = new SqlCommand(strSql, oConn); 7 oCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; 8 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@logID", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = logID; 9 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@categorieID", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = historiekDetail.CategorieID; 10 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@inhoud", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100)).Value = historiekDetail.Inhoud; 11 12 try 13 { 14 oConn.Open(); 15 int rowsAffected = oCmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); 16 if (rowsAffected == 0) throw new ApplicationException("Fout toevoegen historiek detail"); 17 oCmd.CommandText = "select @@IDENTITY"; 18 oCmd.Parameters.Clear(); 19 historiekDetail.HistoriekDetailID = (int)(decimal)oCmd.ExecuteScalar(); 20 } 21 catch (Exception ex) 22 { 23 throw new ApplicationException("Fout toevoegen historiek detail: " + ex.Message); 24 } 25 finally 26 { 27 if (oConn.State == ConnectionState.Open) oConn.Close(); 28 } 29 }
Do i still need the lines 17 oCmd.CommandText = "select @@IDENTITY"; 19 historiekDetail.HistoriekDetailID = (int)(decimal)oCmd.ExecuteScalar(); Because i've declared the identity in my stored procedure
Hi, I have a stored procedure, and it is expecting an output. If I declared the passing varaible as ref, it compiles fine, but it is not returning any value. If I pass the varaible as out, and add the paramater MyComm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ReturnValue", returnValue)); it gives the following error. Compiler Error Message: CS0269: Use of unassigned out parameter 'quoteID'. And if I don't supply the previous statement, the following error occurs. System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Procedure 'CreateData' expects parameter '@ReturnValue', which was not supplied. How Can I fix this? thanks.
I have a stored procedure that calls a DTS package to grab a text file that has been uploaded to the server and merge it with a table on the database. The DTS package works woderfully in SQL, as does the the file upload. The problem arrises when I create a stored procedure to run the DTS package. I know that you have to shell out and do a command line on the SQL server (and I think that I got the syntax correct) but its calling the Stored Procedure in the ASP.NET app that is causing me hardship. Here is the code that I have so far:
Stored Procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE spSampleData AS exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /SZEUSsqlServer113 /NdtsPackage /UuserID /Ppassword' GO
VB to run DTS:
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure myCommand.CommandText = "spSampleData" myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but any help would be great.
I am trying to set up a call to a Stored Procedure to do an Insert. Here is my code snippet:
<%@ Page Language="VB" %> <%@ import Namespace="System" %> <%@ import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %> . . . Dim loConn as New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")) Dim cmdInsert as New SQLCommand("AdminUser_Insert", loConn) cmdInsert.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim InsertForm As New SqlDataAdapter() InsertForm.InsertCommand = cmdInsert
Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.
Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'CommandType' is not declared.
This error happens on the line: cmdInsert.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
I'm trying to call a job from a stored procedure. To do so, I've found that sp_start_job is doing just that. My problem is that the sp_start_job is not in my master database stored procedures and I don't know how to add it. I'm working with SQL Server 7 Enterprise without the SP.
Am I looking for the right thing ? (sp_start_job) Where can I find it ?
Hey, I have a parent SP, and within that parent I want to call a a child what is the code to call that child procedure? or teh easiest way to make that happen?
Can someone tell me a straightforward way to call a VB app (that accepts command line arguments) from a stored procedure.
I have got it to work by using xp_cmdshell, but in practice, the security constraints here prevent using this. Our DBAs don't want to set the proxy account required for a non-sysadmin user to eexecute xp_cmdshell.
I know that writing an extended SP invoking a C++ dll would be the cleanest solution. However I don't have the knowledge to do that.
When I call a stored procedure from a dll written in Builder C++, it gets blocked. But if I call the same SP from the main program, it works fine. but I need to call SP from the dll. What's the problem? Thanks...
I know this thread is sql, and i'm asking a vb.net question but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere else. I am using visual studio 2008 designing a vb.net application where I created a stored procedure using sql management studio 2005. Here is the stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedure2 @intPID char(10) AS SELECT SUM(Financial.Fee) from dbo.Financial WHERE CONVERT(DATETIME, FLOOR(CONVERT(FLOAT, getdate())))=CONVERT(DATETIME, FLOOR(CONVERT(FLOAT, Financial.Date))) AND [SPatient Number]=@intPID /* SET NOCOUNT ON */ RETURN
It takes the sum of my Fee column in my financial table where the current date is equal to the column named Date in my Financial table and SPatient Number equals my variable intPID, which the value is defined for in my application (yes, i know that is a horrible name for a column but I cannot change it for it is not my project).
Now, to my knowledge this procedure works fine and should output a single value. However, like i said, i am using visual studio 2008 and therefore am using vs's more automated way of connecting to sql servers(and by that I mean configuring the server through visual studio rather than manually defining datasets, dataadapters, and connection strings through code) All of the tutorials I find use data adapters and are done by manually declaring sql connections and so forth. I like visual studios more automated method of doing sql tasks, and would like to know if there is a simple way to call a stored procedure using visual studio in such a fashion where I would write something like "exec dbo.StoredProcedure2 'intPID' "
Any help is much appreciated, thank you

Hi all, I'm new to SQL Server and I'm trying to call BCP from a stored procedure with a parameter passed in as the path to which to export the datafile. This parameter is also the name of a network PC. However, I keep getting this error: SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unable to open BCP host data-file NULL
This is the stored procedure: PROCEDURE DownloadLinkEvents @localPath varchar(80) AS declare @bcpCommand varchar(200) begin set @bcpCommand = 'bcp <dbName> out ' + @localPath + '-c -t"|" -S<dbServer> -Usa -P<passowrd>' exec master..xp_cmdshell @bcpCommand end
This is probably the most basic of solutions, but I have spent the last 3 hours trying to work it out, and searching google!
I am trying to call information from a stored procedure (B), from within another stored procedure (A). The select statement from Procedure A contains information to be passed to Procedure B, to get some information.

Hi, I am working with multiple databases on the same server and in a stored procedure I need to be able to call on one of them. Here is an example of what I am trying to do in this stored procedure:create procedure sp_procedure(@variable int)select anitem from atable where selection = @variable declare @anothervariable Char(3) select @anothervariable = item_that_determines_database from atable where selection = @variable use dbo.@anothervariableselect count(id) from Some_table where selection = @variable The database is not found using this method and I do need to use it in a stored procedure. All of the databases being used are (3) letter names in lower case (aaa, bbb, ccc, etc...), the info that @anothervariable pulls from the table is the name of that database but in all caps. Does this part make a difference? Also, what method could I use to get the database variable to read from that selected database?
