I have basic SQL query that returns a one column result set. For each row returned in this result set, I need to pass the value in the column to a stored procedure and get back a result set.
I have 2 solutions, neither of which are very elegant. I'm hoping someone can point me in a better direction.
Solution 1:
Use a cursor. The cons here, are the SP returns a result set on each pass which generates multiple result sets overall. If there is a way to combine these result sets, I think this solution might work.
Solution 2:
Use a temp table or table variable.
The cons here are, if the schema of the result set returned from the stored procedure changes, the table variable will have to change to accommodate it. This is a dependency I'd rather not create.
Lets say I have a User Defined Function. I need to call the UDF a number of times within the same View. However, the results are not as expected. The only way (I know of) is to have seperate instances on the same function saved under different names. Is there a way to call a single UDF multiple times within a View without the returned values being messed-up?
I am having trouble executing a stored procedure on a remote server. On my local server, I have a linked server setup as follows: Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563
This works fine on my local server:
Select * From [Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563].DatabaseName.dbo.TableName
This does not work (Attempting to execute a remote stored proc named 'Data_Add':
When I attempt to run the above, I get the following error: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
Could anyone shed some light on what I need to do to get this to work?
I have a couple of questions that I hope someone might be able to provide some direction on.
1. Why can't you call a proc when the proc uses temp tables? I wrote a simple proc (select * from table) and the data subscription works perfect. I then take that same query and put it into a temp table and the data set can't be validated by the subscription, Why?
2. Why can't you pass a simple execute statement in a data subscription? (execute dbo.RptTakeTheLeadFLSDinnerCompetition @FiscalQuarter ='2007-Q3', @StoreRegionID = '9231', @StoreType = 'Full-Line Store') works perfect in SQL but once you try and validate in the data subscription is fails.
3. Another question, why if I dumb down the proc and the number of parameters does it work? Are there limitations on the number of parameters you can pass into a proc from a data driven subscription?
Basically, I want to declare a few variables dynamically and pass them into a execute statement that calls the proc. Which in turn runs the report.
For a new web project I am working on I wrote a couple of Stored Procs in C#. I have deployed them to the database, and can run them fine using SQL Mgmt Studio. The problem is that when I try and run them from my application, I get a 'The Stored Procedure 'ProcName' does not exist' error message. I orignally thought it might be a permissions issue, so I changed my connection string to connect as 'sa' and it still got the same error. I am using the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary to connect to the database. Any ideas on what I need to do to get this to work?
I need to call a DLL from with one of my stored procedures. How do I achieve this?
The DLL is currently on App server (Not on the SQL Server box). Do I have to register this DLL on my SQL server, create an extended stored proc and call it from my stored proc?
How can I find what is calling a stored proc in a database or on the server?
Currently a job runs daily that calls a couple of DTS packages. Somewhere in this process a stored proc is being called that pumps out several emails. BUT nowhere in the DTS or job can I find any reference to the stored proc.
I would like to know how to call a Stored Proc with in code. Have an SQL code but need data from a table that needs to be updated by a Stored Proc. Would need to call proc in the middle of code to get the correct data. Just not sure of what the statement looks like to call the proc. Thank you for your help. David (DHL)
I apologize for the long post but I am trying to give as much information as I can about the steps I've taken to troubleshoot this.
We have a stored procedure that builds a sql statement and executes it using the Execute command. When I execute the stored procedure through query analyzer it takes close to 5 seconds to execute. When I print out the exact same statement and execute it directly in query analyzer as "raw sql", it takes 0.5 seconds - meaning it takes 10 times longer for the code to execute in the stored proc. I altered the stored proc to execute the printed sql instead of building but it still takes the full 5 seconds and there were no changes in the execution plan. This makes me confident that the issue is not caused by the dynamic sql. I've used with recompile to make sure that the stored procedure caches the most recent execution plan. When I compare the execution plans, the stored proc uses a nested loop whereas the raw sql statement uses a hash join. Seeing that, I added the hash hint to the stored proc and doing so brought down the execution time down from 5 secs to 2 secs but still the raw sql statement uses a clustered index whereas the stored proc uses a non-clustered index and that makes the statement 4 times slower. This proves how efficient clustered indexes are over non-clustered ones, but it doesn't help me since, as far as I know, I can't force SQL Server to use the clustered index.
Does anyone know why sql server is generating such an inefficient execution plan for the stored proc compared to the execution plan that it generates when executing the raw sql statement? The only thing I can think of is that some stats are not updated and that somehow throws off the stored proc. But then again, shouldn't it affect the raw sql statement?
How do you call a store procedure in an ActiveX script? I have a stored procedure that I want to execute everytime my Data Driven Query tasks inserts a new record.
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
How do I specify a parameter as an output parameter --> OUTPUT paramI am referring to how to do this on line 10 below 1 int GetTheReturnValue=0;2//Code not shown// 9 mySqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@returnParameter", SqlDbType.Int, 10).Value = 0; // How to specify output param?10 GetTheReturnValue=mySqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
I get this error: Server: Msg 119, Level 15, State 1, Line 10 Must pass parameter number 3 and subsequent parameters as '@name = value'. After the form '@name = value' has been used, all subsequent parameters must be passed in the form '@name = value'.
But when I run it this way : exec usp_List_Relationship_Users 1851 , 'Channel Member', @cust_idOUTPUT, @user_login_id OUTPUT, @username OUTPUT, @password OUTPUT, @status_id OUTPUT, @sdesc OUTPUT, @administrator OUTPUT
I get the expected results. Why should I omit the name of the name of the input parameters? I don't know why I am getting this error if don't run by ommitting the name of the input params.
Any help regarding this matter is greatlt appreciated. You can assume that all the variables are declared prior to executing the stored procedure.
I have about 5 stored procedures that, among other things, execute exactly the same SELECT statement
Instead of copying the SELECT statement 5 times, I'd like each stored proc to call a single stored proc that executes the SELECT statement and returns the resultset to the calling stored proc
The SELECT statement in question retrieves a single row from a table containing 10 columns.
Is there a way for a stored proc to call another stored proc and gain access to the resultset of the called stored proc?
I know about stored proc return values and about output parameters, but I think I am looking for something different.
I would like to know if the following is possible/permissible:
myCLRstoredproc (or some C# stored proc) { //call some T SQL stored procedure spSQL and get the result set here to work with
INSERT INTO #tmpCLR EXECUTE spSQL }
spSQL (
INSERT INTO #tmpABC EXECUTE spSQL2 )
spSQL2 ( // some other t-sql stored proc )
Can we do that? I know that doing this in SQL server would throw (nested EXECUTE not allowed). I dont want to go re-writing the spSQL in C# again, I just want to get whatever spSQL returns and then work with the result set to do row-level computations, thereby avoiding to use cursors in spSQL.
Hi,I have written a stored procedure which includes a DATEPART command, i.e.DATEPART(weekday, <date>)The result when ran from SQL Query Analyser is as expected . i.e. Sundayreturns 1, Monday 2, etcWhen the same proc is called from within the Access 2000 project Sundayis returned as 7, Saturday as 6 instead of 1 and 7 respectively.Basically the same stored proc returns different data depending on fromwhere it has been called.This is causing some issues obviously as the resulting tables andreports are showing incorrect data when presented in Access 2000.Has anyone else experienced this before or have any idea what may cause it.Regards,PB
I am using SQL Server 2005 and I have an endpoint that exposes some stored procedures as web-methods in the endpoint.
One particular stored procedure I have exposed takes a long time to execute: about 10 - 15 minutes. While, it is OK, that this stored procedure takes this long, it is not desirable for the HTTP Request that executed this proc to not wait for that long.
What I want to be able to do is to call the stored procedure and have the call return immidetaly but the stored proc continues what its doing. I will call another stored proc at a later time to retrive the result of the first stored proc. The first proc will store its results in a temp table. I am thinking of using SQL Server Service Broker to achieve this.
Is there a better a way to achieve this? And how does SQL Server process the Service Broker requests, i.e., I dont want the query to be executed when the server is busy. Are there any hints that I need to give to Service Broker to be able to do this?
I’m binding the distinct values from each of 9 columns to 9 drop-down-lists using a stored procedure. The SP accepts two parameters, one of which is the column name. I’m using the code below, which is opening and closing the database connection 9 times. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? newSqlCommand = New SqlCommand("getDistinctValues", newConn)newSqlCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim ownrParam As New SqlParameter("@owner_id", SqlDbType.Int)Dim colParam As New SqlParameter("@column_name", SqlDbType.VarChar)newSqlCommand.Parameters.Add(ownrParam)newSqlCommand.Parameters.Add(colParam) ownrParam.Value = OwnerID colParam.Value = "Make"newConn.Open()ddlMake.DataSource = newSqlCommand.ExecuteReader()ddlMake.DataTextField = "distinct_result"ddlMake.DataBind()newConn.Close() colParam.Value = "Model"newConn.Open()ddlModel.DataSource = newSqlCommand.ExecuteReader()ddlModel.DataTextField = "distinct_result"ddlModel.DataBind()newConn.Close() and so on for 9 columns…
I have a report based on our product names that consists of two parts.Both insert data into a temporary table.1. A single grouped set of results based on all products2. Multiple tables based on individual product names.I am getting data by calling the same stored procedure multipletimes... for the single set of data I use "product like '%'"To get the data for individual products, I am using a cursor to parsethe product list.It's working great except that I have no idea how to identify theresults short of including a column with the product name. While thatis fine, I'm wondering if there is something that is like a header ortitle that I could insert prior to generating the data that would looka little tighter.Thanks in advance-DanielleJoin Bytes!
I have a stored procedure on an SQL Server database which displays statistical data for a single record. The example below selects a user ID as a parameter and displays the user's name and the total amount of transactions he has made: CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetUserStats @UserID BIGINT AS DECLARE @TempTable TABLE ( UserID BIGINT, UserName VARCHAR(60), TotalAmt FLOAT )
INSERT INTO @TempTable (UserID, UserName, TotalAmt) SELECT u.RecID, u.LastName + ', ' + u.FirstName, (SELECT SUM(t.Amount) FROM Transactions t WHERE t.UserID = @UserID) FROM Users u WHERE u.RecID = @UserID
SELECT * FROM @TempTable GO
So if I execute this amount entering a single ID, it returns a single row for that user:
UserID UserName TotalAmt -------------------------- 1 Doe, John 100.00
What I would like to do is create another stored procedure which calls this one for every user returned in a query, thus returning the same data for several users:
UserID UserName TotalAmt -------------------------- 1 Doe, John 100.00 2 Smith, Bob 123.45 3 Blow, Joe 150.55
Is there a way to re-use a stored procedure within another, based on the results of a query?
I need to create a SQL Server Stored Proc that will handle a variable number of Or conditions. This is currently being done with a MS Access Query as follows
mysql = "UPDATE Table SET Field2 = 1 WHERE " & myw
The above code is very simplified.
I Want to create a stored proc to do this but I cannot send it the SQL to the Stored Proc (or can I) so I need to use parameters instead. I want to do something like
Do until rst.EOF
Set cmd = MakeStoredProc("sp_Table_UpdateField2_ForField1") Set prmField1 = cmd.CreateParameter("Field1", adInteger, adParamInput, , rst!Field2) cmd.Parameters.Append Field1
cmd.Execute
Loop
Again the above is very simplified. So how can you get the the SQL for the Stored Proc for something like the following from a loop
WHERE = (Field1 <> 0) OR (Field1 <> 1) OR (Field1 <> 2) ...
There is a stored-procedure that it has multiple select statements as returned result set. How can I use SqlCommand.ExecuteReader to get all result set?
What if the multiple select statements is " FOR XML", how can I set all xml using ExecuteXmlReader?
I tried to use ExecuteReader or ExecuteXmlReader, but seems that I can only get back the result set of the first select statement, all others are messed up.
stored procedure example: NorthWind database:
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO
Create PROCEDURE dbo.getShippersAndEmployeesXML AS
select * from Shippers for xml auto, elements select * from Employees for xml auto, elements
RETURN @@ERROR
GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO
Hi, I have a table containing SQl statements. I need to extract the statements and execute them through stored procedure(have any better ideas?)
Table Test
Id Description
1Insert into test(Id,Name) Values (1,'Ron') 2Update Test Set Name = 'Robert' where Id = 1 3Delete from Test where Id = 1
In my stored procedure, i want to execute the above statements in the order they were inserted into the table. Can Someone shed some light on how to execute multiple sql statements in a stored procedure. Thanks

I am currently in the process of building a stored procedure that needs the ability to be passed one, multiple or all fields selected from a list box to each of the parameters of the stored procedure. I am currently using code similar to this below to accomplish this for each parameter:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SplitOrderIDs ( @OrderList varchar(500) ) RETURNS @ParsedList table ( OrderID int ) AS BEGIN DECLARE @OrderID varchar(10), @Pos int
SET @OrderList = LTRIM(RTRIM(@OrderList))+ ',' SET @Pos = CHARINDEX(',', @OrderList, 1)
IF REPLACE(@OrderList, ',', '') <> '' BEGIN WHILE @Pos > 0 BEGIN SET @OrderID = LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(@OrderList, @Pos - 1))) IF @OrderID <> '' BEGIN INSERT INTO @ParsedList (OrderID) VALUES (CAST(@OrderID AS int)) --Use Appropriate conversion END SET @OrderList = RIGHT(@OrderList, LEN(@OrderList) - @Pos) SET @Pos = CHARINDEX(',', @OrderList, 1)
END END RETURN END GO
I have it working fine for the single or multiple selection, the trouble is that an 'All' selection needs to be in the list box as well, but I can't seem to get it working for this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
My plan is to have the same ability as under the 'Optional' section of this page:
HiI'm not sure what the best approach for this is:I have a stored procedure which I would like to use to return severaloutput values instead of returning a recordset.CREATE PROCEDURE Test (@param1 int, @param2 int OUTPUT, @param3 intOUTPUT) ASSELECT field2, field3 FROM Table WHERE field1 = @param1I would like to return @param2 as field2 and @param3 as field3How do I do this without using SELECT multiple times?THanks in advanceSam
I have used several sql queris to generate a report. This queries pull out data from different tables. But sometimes at the same table too. Basically those are SELECT statements. I have created stored proc for each SELECT statement. now I'm wondering can I include all SELECT statements in one stored proc and run the report. If possible, can anyone show me the format?
I am working with a large application and am trying to track down a bug. I believe an error that occurs in the stored procedure isbubbling back up to the application and is causing the application not to run. Don't ask why, but we do not have some of the sourcecode that was used to build the application, so I am not able to trace into the code. So basically I want to examine the stored procedure. If I run the stored procedure through Query Analyzer, I get the following error message: Msg 2758, Level 16, State 1, Procedure GetPortalSettings, Line 74RAISERROR could not locate entry for error 60002 in sysmessages. (1 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) I don't know if the error message is sufficient enough to cause the application from not running? Does anyone know? If the RAISERROR occursmdiway through the stored procedure, does the stored procedure terminate execution? Also, Is there a way to trace into a stored procedure through Query Analyzer? -------------------------------------------As a side note, below is a small portion of my stored proc where the error is being raised: SELECT @PortalPermissionValue = isnull(max(PermissionValue),0)FROM Permission, PermissionType, #GroupsWHERE Permission.ResourceId = @PortalIdAND Permission.PartyId = #Groups.PartyIdAND Permission.PermissionTypeId = PermissionType.PermissionTypeId IF @PortalPermissionValue = 0BEGIN RAISERROR (60002, 16, 1) return -3END
I am trying to query the Topics in my discussion forum...The Topic contains a "last_poster_id" and a "author_id" I need the username and userid for both "last_poster_id" and "author_id" in the table "aspnet_Users"How do I do this?I would guess I need to use sub select statements. Can someone help me?
