What am i doing wrong??
I'm trying to execute a stored procedure within the case clause of select statement.
The stored procedure returns a table, and is pretty big and complex, and I don't particularly want to copy the whole thing over to work here. I'm looking for something more elegant.
@val1 and @val2 are passed in
CREATE TABLE #TEMP(
tempid INT IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL,
myint INT NOT NULL,
mybool BIT NOT NULL
)
INSERT INTO #TEMP (myint, mybool)
SELECT my_int_from_tbl,
CASE WHEN @val1 IN (SELECT val1 FROM (EXEC dbo.my_stored_procedure my_int_from_tbl, my_param)) THEN 1 ELSE 0
FROM dbo.tbl
WHERE tbl.val2 = @val2
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #TEMP WHERE mybool = 1
If I have to, I can do a while loop and populate another temp table for every "my_int_from_tbl," but I don't really know the syntax for that.
Any suggestions?
Hello,
I am trying to do something like this:
select (CASE
WHEN tableA.col = 'a' then 'A'
ELSE (select table3.col1
from tableA, table 2, table3
where tableA.id = table2.id
and table2.id = table3.id )END ) as TEST
from tableA
But the problem is that the part in bold returns more than one row..
i want it to be select table3.col1
from tableA, table 2, table3
where tableA.id = table2.id
and table2.id = table3.id
for every value of tableA.col.
How do I do this?
Is it possible to do something like this:
Select a.address from person p
join Addresses a on p.AddressPointer =
Case when @UseNewAddress=1 then a.NewAddress else a.OldAddress end
It gives a syntax error but I'm wondering if there's another way to do it.
Hi
I've been trying to put a simple case statement into my 'where' clause but having no luck, is there another way to do the following?

CASE @searchCriteria
WHEN 1 THEN (column3 = 1000100)
WHEN 2 THEN (column3 = 1000101)
END CASE

For inserting current date and time into the database, is it more efficient and performant and faster to do getDate() inside SQL Server and insert the value
OR
to do System.DateTime.Now in the application and then insert it in the table?
I figure even small differences would be magnified if there is moderate traffic, so every little bit helps.
Thanks.
Hi have have two linked SQL Servers and I am trying to get things workingsmootly/quickly.Should I be using 'BEGIN TRANSACTION' or 'BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION' ?Basicly, these SPs update a local table and a remote table in the sametransaction.

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust wonder whether is there any indicator or system parameters that can indicate whether stored procedure A is executed inside query analyzer or executed inside application itself so that if execution is done inside query analyzer then i can block it from being executed/retrieve sensitive data from it?
What i'm want to do is to block someone executing stored procedure using query analyzer and retrieve its sensitive results.
Stored procedure A has been granted execution for public user but inside application, it will prompt access denied message if particular user has no rights to use system although knew public user name and password. Because there is second layer of user validation inside system application.
However inside query analyzer, there is no way control execution of stored procedure A it as user knew the public user name and password.
Looking forward for replies from expert here. Thanks in advance.
Note: Hope my explaination here clearly describe my current problems.
How can I change my T-SQL text editor from text sensitive to text insensitive?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello:
I have created an SQL server table in the past on a server that was all case sensative. Over time I found out that switching to a server that is not case sensative still caused my data to become case sensative. I read an article that said you should rebuild your master database then re-create your tables. So after rebuilding the master database, a basic restore would not be sufficient? I would have to go and manually re-create every single table again?
Any suggestions?
Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to search against a SQL Server 2000 using a case insensitive search when SQL Server 2000 is a case sensitive installation?
thanks in advance.

I can't see why i get this error :
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure fn_GetSpouseFrSecondPerson, Line 49
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'BEGIN'.
from this code :
if (@flags | @LN_MATCH)
BEGIN
set @nPos = charindex(@sOwnerslast, @sSecondperson)
set @sSpouse = left(@sSecondperson, @nPos - 1)
END
(whole listing is below for the curious)
the problem is not my boolean test; if i just replace it with TRUE, the same results.
Only by commenting out the BEGIN ... END block eliminates the error.
Is there some esoteric rule about which commands or how much or how little can be in a code block?
I'm stumped...

If you are set up for AutoCommit why would you or should you set a explicit transaction? I have noticed that in some called stored procudures from a "container" stored procedure. (Hope I got that right) that in the called stored procedure a Begin tran is used. Can anyone help with the why and what fors? It seems to me that you want to let SQL Server handle this becuase of the danger of leaving out a Commit or Rollback? But thats me. I may be very wrong? Thanks.

I need to copy two large tables from one database into another, via the internet. I haven't worked out exactly how yet, but the first issue which has occurred to me is that by the time the first table has been exported (via a SELECT clause?) into a suitable file, the second table (to which it is related) will be out of sync. So, how do I ensure that I end up with a snapshot of the two tables, perfectly in sync with each other? I know that BEGIN/END TRANSACTION makes sure that UPDATES to tables remain in sync, but will it work just for SELECT statements?
View 3 Replies View Relatedhello, I have a big problem with a script.. some instructions seems to be not executed. I don't understand. If I execute line perline it's ok - but the entire block no.
Explain me and find the solution:

AND COLUMN_NAME = 'ZoneUId' )
BEGIN
ALTER TABLE dbo.ACS_ACL ADD ZoneUId T_UID;

Invalid column name 'ZoneUId'.
the error is on line:

how is is possible because the preceding line is
ALTER TABLE dbo.ACS_ACL ADD ZoneUId T_UID;
Could someone tell me if this is the correct way to begin and commit a transaction:

I have writen a small program in a Query window that runs fine if I hilight and run small chuncks. (I have listed the statements with out the clauses so it is more easly viewed here.)
The problem is if I simply execute the Query window I get massive errors that don’t make sence. I am guessing I need some GO and BEGIN/END statements? But I don’t know where I should use them.
I would really appreciate a few pointers so I can just run the Query window.

Hi
I have an overnight process that takes transactions from an external system & applies updates to a single db table. Other processes may be active on the db but none touch the tables I'm using. I cannot guarantee the volume of source transactions (may vary from 100s to 100,000s).
My question is should I protect the update within a begin+commit/rollback or should I have a recovery procedure to run in the event of failure (that would delete any rows added to my db table)? (My preference is to do the latter - so I'm really looking for any reasons why I shouldn't take this approach).
Thanks.

Greetings,I've been reading with interest the threads here on deadlocking, as I'mfinding my formerly happy app in a production environment suddenlydeadlocking left and right. It started around the time I decided towrap a series of UPDATE commands with BEGIN/END.The gist of it is I have a .NET app that can do some heavy reading (nowriting) from tblWOS. It can take a minute or so to read all the datainto the app, along with data from other tables.I also have a web app out on the floor where people can entertransactions which updates perhaps 5-20 records in tblWOS at a time.The issue comes when someone is loading data with the app, and someoneelse tries an update through the web app: deadlocks-ville on theapplication and/or the web app.Again, I believe it began around the time I wrapped those 5-20 recordupdates to tblWOS on the web app with BEGIN/END. The funny thing isthat the records involved are not the same ones, so I'm thinking somekind of table-level lock is going on.I've played with UPDLOCK in examples, but don't quite understand whatit's attempting to do. Since the web update is discrete and short, andit is NOT updating records that are getting loaded, I'd like theBEGIN/UPDATE/END web transaction to happen and not deadlock the loadingapplication.Any suggestions? I'd be most grateful.thanks, Leaf
