I am trying to assign @sql variable to @total, where @sql is a sql
statement stored on the database, however what I am getting is its
string value and not its calcuation. Could anybody help?
DECLARE my_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT sqlstatement from Sn_SalesReport
declare @sql varchar(255), @total varchar(20)
OPEN my_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM my_cursor INTO @sql
-- Check @@FETCH_STATUS to see if there are any more rows to fetch.
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @total = (@sql)
print @total
-- This is executed as long as the previous fetch succeeds.
FETCH NEXT FROM my_cursor
INTO @sql
END
CLOSE my_cursor
DEALLOCATE my_cursor
I tried this SET @total = EXEC (@sql), but no success
Not wishing to derail the other recent thread on loading a local variable, I've posted this query (hee,hee,hee...I kill me) on a separate thread...though I think I am trying to do something similar...that is to build a dynamic select statement, but return a count of the rows it finds/doesn't find to a local variable...using the (amazingly timely) responses above, I tried this:
Note that the local variables @TargetDate and @TLevel are necessary because they are being passed into the procedure as variables....
DECLARE @SQLCmd varchar(256) DECLARE @TargetDate smalldatetime DECLARE @TLevel int DECLARE @n int SET @TargetDate = '2004-05-24' SET @TLevel = 1
SET @SQLCmd = 'SELECT @n = count(*) FROM EventLog WHERE ((CONVERT(varchar(10), [Date], 101) = ''' + CONVERT(varchar(10), @TargetDate, 101) + ''') AND (MsgLevel = ' + CONVERT(varchar(3), @TLevel) + '))' exec (@SQLCmd) if @n > 0 print 'yep' else print 'nope'
and, it's TRYING to work...but apparently the local variable @n is not recognized in the execution of the dynamic statement, as this is the output: Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Must declare the variable '@n'. nope
I need to convert the number of rows returned from a column in a table & assign it to a variable, so I can use it to control a loop. So far no joy. The T-SQL used is :
SELECT COUNT(column_name) FROM table AS column_alias GO SET @numberofrows = column_alias GO
Any suggestions? I have declared all variables etc. The headache seems to be the converting from the column alias.
Hi all, I have a VB 6.0 application that interacts with an MS Access backend. I am in the process of converting it so that it interacts with SQL Server 2000. The current applications uses Cint, CStr, etc. functions which are MS-Access specific, so I am now switching over to Convert (or Cast) function. The problem is that there are certain places wherein I first need to store the value of the resultant CAST/Convert function in a variable and then use that value in a SQL statement. However, I cant seem to figure out a way of storing the results from CAST/CONVERT functions in the VB 6.0 variable. All the examples on Internet show use of these functions directly in an SQL statement e.g. "Select CAST(title as Int) from xyz", etc. Can anybody tell me how can i get the values to be stored in the variable? I am really stuck here and cant seem to progress.
I'm currently trying to convert over packages from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The biggest obstacle at the start has to do with converting my "Dynamic Properties" control. I use it to read an .ini file and load the user name and password to my connections. With 2000 it's nice and easy 1 file 3 lines. While trying to convert it I€™ve had nothing but problems. I've tried the Registry Entry but it forces everything into the Current User and I can't use that I need local machine. There is no documentation and I can't have a xml file with 1000 different username and password settings because 1 person has to update that file with the new passwords. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

My question is, how can I stuff this value from the dynamic sql into a variable such as:
I have a trigger which retrieves database names from a table. I need to use this retrieved database name in another sql insert statement as a variable e.g. set @mydbname = Select .... from.. (to get the database name) then.. insert into @mydbname.dbo.emplTable
At the moment it reads @mydbname as the string "@mydbname" not the value the variable holds
I need the database name as a variable because i have to write to the correct database (there are 15) Any help appreciated

I know this has been dealt with a lot, but I would still reallyappreciate help. Thanks.I am trying to transform this tableYY--ID-Code-R1-R2-R3-R4...R402004-1-101--1--2-3-42004-2-101--2--3-4-2....2005-99-103-4-3-2-1Into a table where the new columns are the count for 4-3-2-1 for everydistinct code in the first table based on year. I will get the yearfrom the user-end(Access). I will then create my report based on theinfo in the new table.

Here's the WRONG way to do what I want. I need a way to populate a variable from the output of a dynamic query.
declare @TableName sysname set @TableName = 'Customers'
delcare @Output bigint
declare @SQL varchar(max)
set @SQL = 'select top 1 RowID from ' + @TableName
select @Output =
EXEC (@SQL)
create function udf_GetDatabaseFingerPrint(
@DBID bigint ) begin returns bigint as declare @dbname sysname
, @iBig bigint , @tSQL varchar(2000) select @dbName = Name from Master.Dbo.Sysdatabases where DBID = @DBID set @tSQL = 'select sum(Rows) from ' + @dbName + '.dbo.sysindexes' set @iBig = exec(@tSQL) return @iBig end
I've a roblem with table variables in dynamic sql context.
If i use it with normal sql there is of course no problem. Simplified it looks like this:
-- Standard SQL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECLARE @TestTable as TABLE(MyBigInt bigint NOT NULL, Myint int NOT NULL);
INSERT @TestTable SELECT 4711,10
SELECT* FROM @TestTable -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If i do the same thing in dynamic sql, i get errors.
SELECT* FROM @DynamicTestTable; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is wrong with tis code? Or are table variables not supported inside dynamic SQL?
Dim subtot As Double Dim tax As Double Dim tot As Double subtot = "0.00" Dim sql As String sql = "SELECT items.qty, products.descrip, products.price FROM items INNER JOIN products ON items.productid = products.id WHERE (items.orderid = " & Request.QueryString("oid") & ")"Dim objConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|AllStar.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True") Dim cmdCustomers As New SqlCommand(sql, objConn)Dim dataReader As SqlDataReader objConn.Open() dataReader = cmdCustomers.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)While dataReader.Read subtot = subtot + (dataReader.GetValue(0) * dataReader.GetValue(2)) End While tax = (subtot * 0.07) tot = (subtot + tax) Label1.Text = subtot Label2.Text = tax Label3.Text = tot ---------------------------------------- How to a convert the variable tax to just two decimals? I tried label2.text = CType(tax, Double) but that didn't work either Thanks in advance
In my source query I want to change the value of Source table ,Destination table and BBX expression dynamically on the basis of input file.
Purpose of making dynamic is that I have created separate sp for all the input, my clients want to have sungle dynamic sp which will execute on the basis of input file.this input file name I wil get fromm variable which i have created in SSIS Package.
Lets consider @File_name is the variable in package which store the file name
if file name is CCTFB then my query should take the Source table ,Destination table and BBX expression value from file master table.
Like that I have 100 of source query and evry query have diffrent number of columns. How can I change the column number in uodate and insert statement dynamically on run time.
CAST(SUBSTRING(Col001,1,6) + SUBSTRING(Col002,1,10) AS varchar(100)) :-It creates a key for comparing, this value i can take it from filemaster HASHBYTES('MD5', CAST(CHECKSUM(Col001, Col002,Col003,Col004) AS varchar(max))) -here numberv of column need to be changed . (SUBSTRING(SOURCE.Col001,1,6) + SUBSTRING(SOURCE.Col002,1,10)) this condition also i can take it from file master.

I am able to get inserted and updated rowcount, but not able to get the matching records count.
I have a table with 52 columns named 'Week1', 'Week2' etc. with values 1, 0 etc. I want to check values in each column. I have following lines in my procedure.
Declare @l_str varchar(50), @l_count int
Select @l_count = 1 Select @l_str = 'Week' + Convert(varchar, @l_count) Now how do I compare the value stored in the @l_str which should be wither 0 or 1 and not 'Week1'?
Is there any better method to compare read these 52 table variables?
Hi allIn the SP below im (trying to) do some dynamic sql. As you can see the tableto use is set as a variable and the 'exec' method used to run thesqlstatements.My problem is that the 'if exists' method is not doing what i was hoping itcould do.The @presql command returns somewhere between 0 or 50 rows (give and take) -i just want the 'if exists' part to determine if the select statementreturns something or not since i then will have to update a current row - orinsert a new one.Even if there is no rows returned, the 'if exists' command will return true:-/Any suggestions to a different way of approach...?Thanks in advance :-)######## Stored procedure start ########[various @ variables]....declare @presql varchar(200)select @presql = 'SELECT * FROM '+@CurrentDB+' where btsiteID='+cast(@SiteID as varchar(6))+''IF exists((@presql))BEGINdeclare @UpdateSQL varchar(400)set @UpdateSQL = 'UPDATE '+@CurrentDB+' SET btDate='''+cast(@FileDate asvarchar(12))+''''exec(@UpdateSQL)ENDELSEBEGINdeclare @InsertSQL varchar(2000)select @InsertSQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @CurrentDB + '(btDate,btTime)VALUES('''+ cast(@FileDate as varchar(12)) + ''','+ cast(@ImportTime as varchar(6)) + ')'EXEC(@InsertSQL)END######## Stored procedure end ########

The last line above is where I am getting the error. Is this possible to do this?
I am trying to use this statement in a variable, including another variable:
"SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE CAST([timestamp] AS INT) > " + @[User::LastTimestamp]
But the variable value insists on giving me this error:
The expression for variable "VariableName" failed evaluation. There was an error in the expression.
I cast the columntype "timestamp" to int, and the variable "LastTimestamp is stored as int32, and has a default value of 0. I simply can't grasp what it is I am missing.
Is it because the expression is part string and part integer? If so, how is that avoided?
Error Output: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- my new db test Server: Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'my'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Any idea how to get the entire database name to be used with spaces in the database name. It prints the @DatabaseName just fine, but in the dynamic sql, it truncates after the first space.
I already tried N'my new db test' in the set statement. That didn't work. I tried using NVARCHAR when declaring the variable.
Hi there, I've a question regaarding datatype conversions... I can't convert the above mentioned datatype. I always get an error message that the conversion fails. Doesn't matter If convert or cast is used.
How would you convert the above mentioned variable into float???
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchiseid AS FranchiseId, dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_brandidname AS Brand, dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchisetypename AS [Franchise Type], dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchisenumber AS [Franchise Number], dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_transactiontypename AS [Transaction Type], dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchisestatusname AS [Status Code],
[Code] ....
I need to pivot this so I can get one row per franchiseID and multiple columns for [Franchisee Name Entity] and [Franchise Name Individual]. Each [Franchisee Name Entity] and [Franchise Name Individual] has associated percentage of ownership.
This has to be dynamic, because each FranchiseID can have anywhere from 1 to 12 respective owners and those can be any combination of of Entity and Individual. Please, see the attached example for Franchise Number 129 (that one would have 6 additional columns because there are 3 Individual owners with 1 respective Percentage of ownership).
The question is how do I PIVOT and preserve the percentage of ownership?
Ok, so I have this stored procedure that Inserts a record and I need to return the ID inserted to pass to another procedure. I ended up having to use sp_executesql because I need to dynamically add the schema to the table. The issue that I am having is that the variable that I try to pass to the other procedure always ends up null, but it shows the correct output. Just to clarify on this, i am an Applications developer and not a DBA so I may be going about this all wrong. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

HiI'm grateful for any light you can shed on this!!I've to admit, it's an unusual design but I've multiple contact tables namede.g. i2b_ash_contact or i2b_ted_contact.'i2b_' and '_contact' are static but the middle part is dynamic.Storing all contacts in one table with an identifier of e.g. 'ash' or 'ted'for each record is not possible.Returning the value from the dynamic Query is no problem but I don't knowhow to assign it to a variable.When I try doing this it either runs into problems with evaluating thevariables or doesn't retuen anything at all e.g. if I say at the end 'Print@AddressID'. The variable remains empty.How can I do something like:DECLARE@AddressID int,@ProgClient (varchar(10),@Table varchar(10)Note: @Prog is a string e.g. 'ash' or 'ted'SET @Table = 'i2b_ + @ProgClient + '_contactSET @AddressID = (SELECT AddressID FROM @Table WHERE ContactID = @ContactID)
Is there a way to write such a query where we can declare the variable dynamically ? Currently I am using the query as shown below :
declare @pYear_Internal as NVarchar(100) set @pYear_Internal = [D FISCALPERIOD].[FP CODE].[FP CODE] WITH MEMBER MEASURES.[REVENUE] AS [Measures].[TOTAL REVENUE] SET LAST5YEARS AS STRTOMEMBER(@pYear_Internal).Lag(4) : STRTOMEMBER(@pYear_Internal)
[code]....
While executing the above query, getting the error - Query (1, 9) Parser: The syntax for '@pYear_Internal' is incorrect. Â It looks like it doesn't recognize DECLARE keyword as it does with SQL queries. Â I just want a query that runs directly against the server.Â
