The Old Inability To Toggle/change/switch Between ALTER PROCEDURE &<---&> CREATE PROCEDURE Bug (or Is It A Feature?)
Apr 1, 2007Keep in mind this is my first compiled SQL program Stored Procedure(SP), copied from a book by Frasier Visual C++.NET in Visual Studio2005 (Chap12). So far, so theory, except for one bug (feature?)below. At some point I'm sure I'll be able to laugh about this, akinto forgeting a semi-colon in C/C++, but right now it's frustrating(time to sleep on it for a while).Problem--For some reason I get the error when trying to save files where twotables (called Author and Content), linked by a single key, form arelationship.By simple comparison of the source code in the textbook and my program(below) I found the difference: instead of, like in the textbook, theStored Procedure (SP) starting with "CREATE PROCEDURE", it*automatically* is (was somehow) given the name of 'ALTER PROCEDURE'and I cannot change this to "CREATE PROCEDURE" (you get an error in MSVisual Studio 2005 Pro edition of "There is already an object namedXXX in the database", see *|* below). No matter what I do, the SP isalways changed by Visual Studio 2005 to 'ALTER PROCEDURE'!!!(otherwise it simply will not save)Anybody else have this happen? (See below, others have had this happenover the years but it's not clear what the workaround is)Keep in mind this is my first attempt and I have ordered somespecialized books on SQL, but if this is a common problem (and Isuspect it's some sort of bug or quirk in VS2005), please let me know.Frankly I think SQL as done by VS2005 is messed up.Here are two Usenet threads on this problem:(1) http://tinyurl.com/2o956m or,http://groups.google.com/group/micr...1454182ae77d409(2) http://tinyurl.com/2ovybv or,http://groups.google.com/group/micr...9e5428bf0525889The second thread implies this is a bug--any fix?Also this bug might be relate to the fact I've switched (and notrebooted) from Administrator to PowerUser after successfully changingthe permissions in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (see thisthread: http://tinyurl.com/2o5yqa )Regarding this problem I might try again tommorrow to see if rebootinghelps.BTW, in the event I can't get this to work, what other SQL editor/compiler should I use besides MS Visual Studio 2005 for ADO.NET andSQL dB development?RL// source files// error message:'Authors' table saved successfully'Content' table- Unable to create relationship 'FK_Content_Authors'.The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint"FK_Content_Authors".

Thoughts On ALTER Vs. DROP & CREATE.
Nov 8, 2006Thought I should post in the newbie forum for a while, instead. :-)
I have a couple of scripts that I've generated that drop a couple of system stored procedures and recreate them. I'm not sure why I did it in the first place, but I think it was that it wouldn't let me run an ALTER statement on them. Specifically, I'm now looking at sp_add_operator. I changed it to a 500 character email field instead of whatever it was (100, I think.)
/* Explanation: Why did I do that? SQL Mail is prohibited here, so I'm using CDO_Sysmail to email myself and the developers if a job fails. The list of people to email is determined by the owner of the database, who is also an operator in SQL. I get the list of emails from the email field of the operator properties. Hence, I need a bigger email field. Yes, I now know it would most likely be better to create an ADMIN database on each server for this kind of stuff. (Thanks to Tara for that blogged suggestion.) */
While I will probably go back to the default stored procedure, this got me to thinking: when would it be better to use an ALTER statement on a SProc rather than to do a DROP and CREATE?
Your thoughts, oh SQL gurus?
CREATE, ALTER, Why Wont It Save?

May 9, 2010Is it possible to use a variable to specify the filegroup in the ALTER/CREATE PARTITION SCHEME command?
I want the partition scheme to use the default filegroup for ALTER and CREATE PARTITION SCHEME. At the time the script is created, I don't know the default filegroup in the database.
My code:

Q: If using a variable is not possible, is there another way to specify the default filegroup?

Alter Stored Procedure From Within Asp.net
Dec 24, 2007I want to alter a stored procedure from within my code base. I'm basically wanting to write an in house app that will update my stored procedures across many databases that we have. Any help would be appreciated. I'm having difficulty finding anything on this topic.

May 18, 2007
Hi all,
I use SQL2005 and I recently noticed this...
When I right click a stored procedure and select modify I get something like this
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[xxxxxx]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))
BEGIN
EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @statement = N'
xxx xxx xxx'
instead of the usual alter procedure...
I think that this happened after I installed SP2 (which I cannot remove)
Why this is happening and how can I revert it to the old way of altering stored procs?
Alter Procedure Not Working
May 20, 2008
we use alter statements for our stored procedures when rolling out a new version of our app. We have noticed that when viewing the stored proc in production it looks like the altered one, but when the app runs it, the changes are not taking effect. Has any one else experienced anything like this? It's like the old version is still being held on too.
To get around the problem we have been dropping and recreating the procedures.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Where Does BEGIN And END Go In ALTER PROCEDURE
Sep 11, 2006Hello
As I'm not an experienced stored procedure programmer I was wondering where I need to put the BEGIN and END statement in a ALTER Stored Procedure.
As I understand it's the proc that gets altered, not the statements in the proc and that I find confusing.
I need to change the name of a column like:
UPDATE table
SET
Fielddd1 = 'test'
and I wan to change it into
UPDATE table
SET
Field1 = 'test'
Quite simple no? Forget it! Even if I hit the execute command to modify it. It get's changed back to the old code behind my back. So I guess I need to put a BEGIN and an END statement but I tried that already.
Could someonegive me a pointer?
Many thanks!

Alter Stored Procedure With Asp.net Code
Dec 23, 2007I have looked all around and I am having no luck trying to figure out how to alter a stored procedure within an asp.net application.Here is a short snippet of my code, but it keeps erroring out on me.Try myCommand.CommandText = "Using " & DatabaseName & vbNewLine & Me.txtStoredProcedures.Text myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() myTran.Commit()Catch ex As Exception myTran.Rollback() Response.Write(ex.ToString())End Try The reason for this is because I have to propagate stored procedures across many databases and was hoping to write an application for it.Basically the database name is coming from a loop statement and I just want to keep on going through all the databases that I have chosen and have the stored procedure updated (altered) automatically So i thought the code above was close, but it keeps catching on me. Anybody's help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm trying to create a batch sql script which first alters some existing tables via the ALTER TABLE command, I then want to alter some existing stored procedures via the ALTER PROCEDURE command within the same batch. I have found that I can encompas the alter table scripts within a conditional IF EXISTS (Begin/End) but not the alter procesdure scripts. I have looked in reference material and have found nothing to suggest this type of operation is not possible. Is this possible? Is this a know bug fixed by a service pack?

Can I Use ALTER LOGIN In A Stored Procedure???
Apr 27, 2006Can the ALTER USER statement be used (without a hack like using EXEC) in a stored procedure? I know that the sp_password system stored procedure can not be. Additionally, it is being deprecated anyway. I guess what is boggling me about my attempts so far relate to the errors I am getting due to the user being specified not being in quotes in the syntax. All of the searching I have done so far have come up lame so far; the only examples I have found about it were in scripts that create other scripts for transferring users and other administrative tasks that would be run from the query window, but not from an application. To be complete as possible, here is an example of a script the returns errors:
ALTER PROC [dbo].[lbxChangePassword]
(
@loginid nvarchar(180),
@oldpassword nvarchar(40),
@newpassword nvarchar(40)
) AS BEGIN
IF @oldpassword = (SELECT password FROM contacts WHERE loginid = @loginid)
BEGIN
BEGIN TRANSACTION
UPDATE contacts
SET password = @newpassword
WHERE loginid = @loginid
ALTER LOGIN @loginid WITH PASSWORD=@newpassword OLD_PASSWORD=@oldpassword
END
ELSE
BEGIN
RAISERROR(N'The password you entered does not match your current password.', 16, 1)
RETURN
END
IF @@ERROR <> 0
BEGIN
RAISERROR(N'There was an error creating your new password.', 16, 1)
RETURN
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END
************
This returns:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure lbxChangePassword, Line 15
Incorrect syntax near '@loginid'.
Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Procedure lbxChangePassword, Line 15
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression or an xmlnamespaces clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.
************
If ALTER LOGIN isn't how to change the password, then please tell me what the correct practice of changing a password is. I want to use the CURRENT_USER keyword in my queries and want I can't finish setting that up until I have this resolved because users will need to change their own passwords through the application I am developing.
Need Noobie Help On Alter Procedure...simple Question
Jan 28, 2008
Hi all,
I need to get a better understanding of alter procedure. If I Create a Procedure in SQL Server 2005, and want to modify that to Alter Procedure statement instead of create procedure... How do I do that??
I'm not an SQL Server person.. I dont understand why my work place needs Alter proceudre all the time but all our procedures have Alter procedure statement. Once they are created they have to be changed to Alter procedure...
Do I just need to change the keyword CREATE to ALTER?? because when I try to save it ,,, it saves it as a .sql file... Not the script.
Immediate reply would be appreciated
Thanks
Alter Table Causing Problems In Stored Procedure
Jun 26, 2001I'm running SQL server 2000 sp1. I created a stored procedure that (1) drops a table, (2) recreates it with a "select into" statement, (3) alters the table by adding a field, and then (4) updates that field.
The trouble I'm having is that when I execute the stored procedure I get an error stating that I have an "invalid column name" between steps (2) and (3). It seems as though when I drop the table in step (1), the entire procedure wants to re-compile and it can't get past step (4) because the table hasn't been altered yet.
I've noticed a similar problem in editing stored procedures when they refer to tables or fields that don't exist yet because WITHIN the procedure they are created/modified. I'm not able to get a successful syntax check and therefore not able to save my work.
I must be missing something. Any suggestions?

I am using VB.NET 2005 and set up an ODBC connection via ODBC.ODBCConnection to a MDB database. Therefor, I use the "Microsoft Access ODBC Driver (*.mdb)".
When I set up a ODBCCommand like "ALTER DATABASE..." or "CREATE TABLE..." and issue it with the com.ExecuteNonQuery() command, I get an error from ODBC driver, that a SQL statement has to begin with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
How can I use DDL statements via ODBC?

Apr 12, 2006Hi,
I have currently a problem with setting up the permissions for some developers. My configuration looks like this.
DB A is the productive database.
DB B is a kind of "development" database.
Now we have a couple of users call them BOB, DAVID, ...
who are members of the db role db_reader and db_writer for the productive db a but they should be allowed to do nearly everything on db b.
Therefor I added them to the db role db_owner for db b.
For testing purposes I tried to "CREATE" a view TEST as BOB in database B but I received the error message
'Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Procedure Test, Line 3
CREATE VIEW permission denied in database 'b'.'
I cross checked the permissions on db level and I even granted all available permissions on db level but nevertheless I receive this error message.
What's my mistake?
Of course it worked fine when I give them sysadmin rights but then they have far too much permissions.

Stefan
