We have a product that we were experiencing high recompile rates do to
temp tables, we have re-written them to use table variables to reduce
recompile rate. The problem I am having is that we have some
customers still on SQL 7 where the table variables were not valid. I
would like to have one installation script that would create the
stored procedure with table variables on SQL Server 2000 and without
on SQL Server 7, I have been unsuccessful do to the limitation that
CREATE PROCEDURE statement cannot be in a script with any other
statements.
Was wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a way around
it.
My product was developed for and works correctly on SQL Server 2000. However, when we upgraded to 2005, we found that certain system stored procedures were different, causing our product to break.
We can easily change our stored procedures to work in 2005, but we have a large client base, some of whom will be using each version. Our current solution is to check the version of SQL Server during installation and choose which script to use at that time in order to have an appropriate stored procedure for that version, but we are concerned about users who install our product with SQL Server 2000 and then upgrade to SQL Server 2005.
How can I make a stored procedure that will run differently depending on the version? I tried something like:
if (select charindex('2000', @@version)) > 0
begin -- SQL Server 2000
SELECT
... FROM
... WHERE end else -- SQL Server 2005
SELECT
... FROM ... WHERE end
Unfortunately, the system tables I'm selecting from have different stuctures in the different versions (one example is msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules and msdb.dbo.sysschedules), and even though the code never gets into the SQL Server 2000 section on 2005, it parses the whole procedure for errors before allowing it to be saves and will not allow this.
I have written a piece of code in a stored procedure that builds a string called "filter$" based on fielde in a table. How do I use this string as my where clause?
I need to run stored procs based on a list in a code table. In other words, it reads the name of a stored proc from a table and runs it and does this for all the rows in the table. I think the ForEach loop container will do what I need and there is an ADO enumerator option but the documentation does not tell you how to use this. From what I can tell, you need to get a dataset into an SSIS variable first and then you plug the variable name into the ForEach ADO enumerator. Is that correct? If so, can someone tell me how to get a dataset into a variable?
I have 1 table with a huge amount of data that I recive from someone else in a flat file format. I want to be able to filter through that data and scrub it and find out the good data and bad data from it.
I'm scrubbing the data using different stored procs that i've created and through a web interface that the user can pick which records they wish to create.
If I were to create a new table for clean records, what is the syntax to keep Appending to that table through the data that i'm obtainig via the stored procs that i've created.
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appriciated in advance
Is there a way to namespace groups of stored procs to reduce confusion when using them?
For C# you can have ProjectName.ProjectSection.Classname when naming a class. I am just wondering if there is a way to do the same with SQL stored procs. I know Oracle has packages and the name of the package provides a namespace for all of the stored procs inside it.
I would like to know if for example i have some tables in my DataBase and i need from each table to get for instance, the Name by the ID, how can i make only one procedure which use parameters and variables so i can use this SP to get the Name By ID for all the Tables?
Recently I have experienced the following scary scenario;
Users report a problem with an app, on diagnosis it is found that a bunch of SPs in SQL Server seem to be corrupt.
That is, when the code for them is listed, the 'Create Procedure..' line and several DECLARE lines are missing. Often the SP starts off in the middle of a variable name!!
Perhaps entries in the syscomments table have become corrupted?
Has anyone seen this problem before - is it perhaps a known bug in SQL Server 6.5?
CREATE PROCEDURE PROC1 AS BEGIN SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC FROM CUSTOMER A INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (6,7,2,3,12,10) ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID
END
IF I AM USING THIS PROC AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC THEN IT GIVES NO PROBLEM AS I CAN USE ?
BUT IF , I USE ANOTHER PROC SIMILAR TO THE FIRST ONE WHICH GIVES SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT RESULTS AND GIVES TWO SETS OF RESULTS,THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM,HO TO SOLVE THIS :-
CREATE PROCEDURE MY_PROC AS BEGIN SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC FROM CUSTOMER A INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (23,12,10) ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID
END
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 23 then '1' else '0' end) + MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 12 then '1' else '0' end) + MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 10 then '1' else '0' end) AS PREFER FROM CUSTOMER GROUP BY A.INTCUSTOMERID ORDER BY A.INTCUSTOMERID END
WHICH NOW GIVES ME TWO SETS OF DATA , BOTH REQUIRED THEN HOW TO USE ONE SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC AND OTHER SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO YET ANOTHER PROC .
I am trying to create a SQL data adapter via the wizard, however, I get the error "Invalid object name #ords" because the stored procedure uses a temp table. Anyway around this? Thanks.
I would like to capture any errors thrown by linked server in my stored procedure, How do I do this? eg: Select statement in sp to remote server fails if login credentials were changed for some reason on remote server. @@error is not able to capture this error and stored procedure is terminated when this type of error occurs.
If you drop / rename a table and then recreate the table with the SAME NAME, what impact does it have on stored procedures that use these tables? From a system perspective, do you have to rebuild / recompile ALL the stored procedures that use this table?
I had a discussion with someone that said that this is a good idea, since the IDs of the tables change in sysobjects and from a SQL SERVER query plan perspective, this needs to be done...
Question 2
If you Truncate a Table as part of a BEGIN TRANSACTION, what happens if an error occurs? Will it Rollback? The theory is that it won't because Truncate doesn't utilize the logs where as Delete From uses the SQL Logs?
Hi, I have a stored procedure running on our monitoring server to monitor the backup jobs on other sql servers running on our network. This sp loops thorugh the list of server names and connects remotely to other servers using linked servers. However, if one of the servers is down, the sp stops after raising 42000 error ("SQL Server does not exist") and fails to carry on processing the next server in the list. Is there any way to capture this "SQL Server does not exist" error within the sp so that the sp can carry on with the processing? I am using SQL Server 2000 SP4. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I work with a large and complex reporting system with several hundred reports: the Programmability; Stored Procedures node of the object explorer has become very difficult to navigate.
Is there any metadata that can be embedded in the stored procs that would create subfolders like the existing System Stored Procedures node in this node of the object explorer?
I suspect that the correct answers are:
Rename all your queries with a rational naming convention; Cull the deadwood; Assign them to categories then export them to separate databases.
Unfortunately, one of these has already been done, and the other two will break several hundred dependent processes - the recoding and retesting is neither economical nor desirable.
Still, all advice is welcome. Pitch your answers at a banking geek who does intermediate to advanced stored procedures and triggers, but isn't allowed to play with sharp things (like sys objects) - but I can probably get help from a grown-up on the sysadmin team: I have discovered that the rumours about human sacrifice are baseless, and they will perform favours in return for beer.
This is also a good time to ask: just how many stored procs and functions are you allowed in SQL Server 2005?
public Set DoSomthing(Set toBeProcessed, Set measuresToWorkWith)The set measurseToWorkWith is passed as {[Measures].[Measure1], [Measures].[Measure2] ...}
with the measures being real or query-scoped calculated members.
To get the value of the measure for each tuple in the set toBeProcessed, I create an Expression for each tuple (measure) in the set measuresToWorkWith then for each tuple in toBeProcessed call expression.Calculate(tuple) which returns a MDXValue.
My problem is that in order to make the code generic I need to get the real (.NET) data type of the MDXValue. The class only has explicit conversion methods ToInt16() etc which implies that the data type is known at design time.
However, if one of the measures is a query-scoped calculation then it could return a .NET double, int, bool or string.
If the measure is real then I can look up its metadata. However, it appears that if it is a formula (scoped member) then are all bets are off?
I could deploy across my environment, which is a mix of 2008R2/2012 servers, to give some information on log files. Running into a silly issue right off the bat. The table that DBCC LogInfo() conjures out of magic is different between the two. In 2012 it gained the RecoveryUnitID column. So I'm trying to write some logic to create a temp table based on which version is running. I would like to avoid a global temp table if possible. Here's what I've tried:
sp_executesql creates a table outside of the scope of my session: DECLARE @PrVers NVARCHAR(128) , @PrVersNum DECIMAL(10,2) , @StageTable NVARCHAR(1024) = N''
I have this main chart setup. It pulls data from a query based on the selected parameters.
I want to create multiple charts for every catagory in the result set.
On the main chart there is a catagory called "Missing".
I want a chart for this category to display when the main chart is loaded. So below the main chart it would show a chart for each of the categories on the main chart.
Basically this report returns information on a certain part number displaying its problem types. Then I want it to create other charts for each problem type displaying the problem sub-types.
How do I search for and print all stored procedure names in a particular database? I can use the following query to search and print out all table names in a database. I just need to figure out how to modify the code below to search for stored procedure names. Can anyone help me out? SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
I am creating a query that shows the consumption of stock against Manf Orders (M/O) and struggling on the last hurdle. I am having difficulties calculating a running total based on an Opening Balance. The first line returns the correct results but the following lines do not. I have tried other variants of the "Over Partition" but still no joy?
SELECT CASE WHEN ROWNUMBER > 1 THEN '' ELSE A.Component END AS Component , CASE WHEN ROWNUMBER > 1 THEN '' ELSE A.SKU

I am wondering if it is possible to execute an .exe from a stored proc. I have an application that calls a stored proc and I am wanting for that stored proc to call up an app to show certain results. I have no way of doing this on the application itself as I dont have the source code. So, since I do have access to the SQL I am wondering if it could be done there.
First off, this is a cross post which is also located here: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=34073
Now, with the following stored procs and UDF, the Result is NULL and I cannot figure out why.
What I am doing is calling a stored procedure pass in an OUTPUT variable of type float. This stored proceudre then calls a different stored procedure passing the same OUTPUT variable of type float. The second stored procedure then calls a UDF passing in two variables to be multiplied ans this should set the OUTPUT variable to the result.
The UDF does return the correct result to the interior stored procedure, but the interior stored procedure does not pass the value back to the original stored procudure resultint in a Result value = NULL.
The code is below, just copy / past, execute and you will see exactly what I mean.
Any thoughts?
USE NORTHWIND GO
CREATE FUNCTION RECTANGULAR_XSECTION (@fWidth float, @fHeight float)
I am trying to improve my SQL and reduce the number of connections my website is making to the server.
Currently I have a stored procedure that gets all the games (and their details) for a single user which works fine which uses a WHERE userid = @userid which is an Int value.
I now need to create a new procedure which brings back the to all their "friends" (again by their userid). How is it best to do this? I originally tried to do a WHERE userID IN (@userid) but was unable to work out what variable type to use for @userid.
Is it best to do a single query in this way or is there a way to use the existing SP, loop through the collection of userids and join the result together into a single set to return? If an IN is the best route, what is the correct datatype for the variable?
can anyone help me out.... i need to compare a date that was retrieved from the database and the system date then it must be coded in the stored procs of the database.. help!!!!
I'm relatively new to stored procs (not to SQL or SQL Server) and I am trying to get transactions to work within a stored proc. Here is the code:
( --define the parameters that are needed @userID char(32), @userName varchar(50), @status char(10), @type char(10), @password varchar(50), @firstName varchar(100), @lastName varchar(100), @email varchar(200), @domain varchar(50), @pwdExpiry int, @badLogin int, @lastLogin datetime, @full varchar(8000), @read varchar(8000), @noaccess varchar(8000) ) AS BEGIN TRAN tmp1 --First, insert the user into the system INSERT INTO ptsUsers(UserID, UserName, Status, Type, Password, FirstName, LastName, Email, DomainName, PasswordExpiry, BadLoginAttempts, LastLoginDate) values(@userID, @userName, @status, @type, @password, @firstName, @lastName, @email, @domain, @pwdExpiry, @badLogin, @lastLogin);
--Now, we need to add the function access edges for the user declare @arrayValue char(32) declare @rightID char(32) declare @sepPos int while patindex('%,%',@full)<>0 BEGIN select @sepPos = patindex('%,%' , @full) select @arrayValue = left(@full, @sepPos - 1) -- replace the value with an empty string select @full = stuff(@full, 1, @sepPos, '')

I am not an expert in Stored Procs. I would like to build one for a product list that would return a default value without using output parameters, if possible. Ultimately, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
It currently looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE ProductsByVendorNo ( @VendorNum nvarchar(24) ) AS
SELECT P.ProductID AS ProductID, P.ProductShortName AS ProductName, P.ProductDesc AS ProductDesc, U.UnitDesc AS Unit, P.VendorProductNumber AS VendorNumber, V.VendorName AS VendorName, P.Price AS Price, P.ImageThumb AS ImageThumb
FROM tblProducts AS P INNER JOIN tblUnitCodes AS U ON P.UnitCode=U.UnitCode INNER JOIN tblVendors AS V ON P.VendorID=V.VendorID
WHERE V.VendorsVendorNo = @VendorNum AND P.Inactive = 0
ORDER BY ProductName, VendorNumber
I would like for it to return a default, constant value for the URL in the ImageThumb field, if this one is empty. I could not find good documentation of how to use IF statements for this case, i.e. to alter the return of just one field.
I want to "deny" create, update,and delete access on the dbo stored procs that are in the database, but do not want take away dbo owner access. is this possible?
can i create a role and deny access on a particular table in msdb? or a system table in the user table. Thus preventing the developers on the box access to update any of the dbo owned sp's and have them create their own user-owned stored procs?
I am trying to set up a DTS package that selects data from one table on server A into another table on server B. I want to do a select statement that will do the following:
select store_name from store (server A) where date_created >= (select max(date_created) from store (server B)
I use EM 7.0 to manage all of my extracts, however, the data is moving from a Syabase (adaptive Server)onto another Syabase(adaptive server) machine. Unfortunately, there is no functionality for a linked server connection.
I tried the following, (which doesn't error out), but is not displaying the source columns in the destination tab of the DTS package when setting up the transformations.
declare @maxdate datetime exec serverB.dbo.sp_max_date_from_store @maxdate select store_name from store --(server A) where date_created >= @store
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! trevorb
I will be taking over a database that has almost no pk's or relations(this is not my choice, but a vendors) Management is looking at stored procs to improve performance, but I am wondering if the db is in this state will there really be a gain. I am pushing for normalization first, but if anybody has any ideas or opinions I would appreciate
I have a stored proc that is run periodically which I execute with a DTS package. The problem is that I have to update a field for each record selected by this stored proc with a specific date. I need to prompt the operator for this date so I can use this value.
Ok, I've read somewhere(which I'm looking for again : ) that said that there are errors like DeadLock that kills the execution of a stored proc and there are other errors that do not necessarily kill the rest of the execution of the stored proc. Is that true? If so does anyone have any links I can read. What I'm seeing is a bad id in the foreign key and I think what is happening is that there was a unique constraint error on the first insert but the stored proc continued executing and used the bad id later on in the stored proc.
I do know I can use the @@error and will start using it but I need more proof to agree or not agree with my theory.
Thanks ahead of time for any information you can give me either way.
Is there any performance loss by setting up a view and creating a stored procedure to return a recordset from a view versus setting up the stored procedure to return the recordset from the tables directly?
