Can someone say how to declare a record like variable in MSSQL-2000 Like:
mr_rec record of variables a int, b char(20), c datetime? I could not find any examples on BOL. I want to use this in a stored procedure create script.
Thanks, Vinnie
hi,
i am new to sql server...
i have used @ symbol for declaring local variables in stored procedure....
The symbol @@ is there....where to use and what is the purpose of using that symbol...
could anyone tell...
thanks
I'm wondering if there's a way to pass a variable to assigning a decimal datatype;
declare @intPrecision int
set @intPrecision = 3
declare @decVariable decimal(38, @intPrecision)
I've basically been given the task by my mentor to create a script to round a decimal to a given number of decimal places.
ie; 1234.56789; 2 dp => 1234.57 and not 1234.57000
Any advice would be great.
I am reviewing some code we have inherited (riddled with multiple nested cursors) and in the process of re-writing some of the code. I came across this and it has me puzzled.
As I understand it, if you declare a variable and then try to re-declare a variable of the same name an error is generated. If I do this inside a While loop this does not seem to be the case. What ever is assigned is kept and just added to (in the case of a table variable)
I understand things are in scope for the batch currently running but I would expect an error to return (example 1 and 2)
--Table var declaration in loop
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @looper INT = 0
WHILE @looper <= 10
BEGIN
DECLARE @ATable TABLE ( somenumber INT )

Hi,
here is the code segment below;
...
DECLARE find_dates CURSOR FOR
SELECT @SQL = 'select DISTINC(Dates) from ['+@name+'].dbo.['+@t_name+'] order by [Dates] ASC'
EXEC (@SQL)
but it gives error, variable assignment is not allowed in a cursor declaration. I need to use dynamic SQL , the only way to access all the dbs and their tables inside. Please help.
thanks
I have the following lines embedded in a stored procedure
---
----
----
select @querystr = "select @lkinpos = pos_lkin_pos from "+@database+" where pos_clnt_id = "+str(@clntid)+" and pos_isin ="+"'"+ @isinno+"'"
print @querystr
exec(@querystr)
---
---
---
When i execute the above stored procedure, it returns an error as follows:
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Must declare the variable '@lkinpos'.
When i see the print @querystr statement, it returns the query str as follows:
select @lkinpos = pos_lkin_pos from nsdldpm..pos_mstr where pos_clnt_id = 10000045 and pos_isin ='ine227a01011'
This when executed independently, gives me the required output.
Can anybody solve this for me?
Thanks in advance
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. It looks like it doesn't recognize DECLARE keyword as it does with SQL queries. I just want a query that runs directly against the server.
I've been curious why some variables don't need to be declared with a value type in a stored procedure. Please see the example below in the bolded area. The stored procedure works fine - nothing is wrong with it, but I just wanted an explanation on why and when is a value type not needed for a variable.
CREATE PROCEDURE [DBO].[EmailRpt]
(
@TagDest char(2) = NULL,
@DateWanted smalldatetime = NULL,
@CustName varchar(64) = NULL,
@AcctID AcctId = NULL,
@ContactPhn phone = NULL,
@CustAddr address = NULL,
@City city,
@CrossSt varchar(50) ,
@Access varchar(50) = NULL,
@Activity tinyint,
)
AS
DECLARE @String as varchar(2000),
@Header as varchar(200),
@MailBox as varchar(50),
@ActivityName as Name,
@Return as int,
@UserName as Name
I am running a query in with my daily import job that lets me know if a duplicate record was imported into the system. If so I want to setup my email table to mail me the following information. My code works fine except the value of the variable @ID is only giving me the first record in the set. How do I pass it on to the next record? I get the right number of rows inserted into the email table but the @ID variable is the same for all 3.
Drop Table #SER1
Select id#,
Colx=Count(*)
Into #SER1
From Business
Group By id#
Having Count(id#) > 1
Declare @ID Varchar (4)
Select @ID = ID# from #SER1
INSERT INTO Email
( [To],
[Subject],
[message],
[Table],
TableUKey,
TableSource
)
SELECT
'Firstname.Lastname@Company.com',
'Duplicate ID# Imported',
'ID# ' + @ID + ' has been imported multiple times ' + ' on ' + cast( getdate() AS varchar(30)) + '. You need to remove the record and rerun the import.',
'Daily Import',
@ID, 'Daily Import'
FROM #SER1
If I script the SQL statement with a constant, deleting the record from the database works.
If I script the SQL statement to delete based on the WHERE clause being a variable name, it will not delete the record.
The value being compared in the WHERE clause comes directly from the Sequel database.
I have a dropdown box that is filled from the database. The dropdown1.selecteditem.text is placed in a variable. The script is to delete a record from the database where the table.name in the database equals the item name selected from the dropdown box.
This querystring does not delete the record from the database:
dim queryString As String = "DELETE FROM [Table1] WHERE ([Table1].[name] = 'variableCompareText')"
This querystring does delete the recrod from the database:
dim queryString As String = "DELETE FROM [Table1] WHERE ([Table1].[name] = 'John')"
Why can't I delete a record with a variable in the querystring? Otherwise, you would have to always know in advance which record to specify rather than being deleted dynamically.
Each user who inserts a new SQL record from the FormView control needs to have their UserID in one of the fields of the record. I have the user ID stored in the Session("UserID") variable. I am having trouble finding the right way to get this done. I have tried using a hidden text box but I can't seem to assign the value. I have tried the Insert Parameters but that will not accept <%# Session("UserID") %> as a DefaultValue. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

Hey all!
Okay, can I assign line x of a flat file to a variable, parse that line, do my data transformations, and then move on to line x+1?
Any thoughts?
In other words, I'm looking at using a for loop to cycle through a flat file. I have the for loop set up, and the counter's iterating correctly. How do I point at a particular line in a flat file?
Thanks for any suggestions!

While working for a client on a SQL Server 6.5 SP5a, I got the following error when running the code below in first SQL Enterprise Manager 6.5 and then SQL Query Analyzer 7.0:
IF @Departures = 1
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR
FOR SELECT AcType,
BackPax = CASE BackPax
WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END,
BestPax = CASE BestPax
WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END,
DepTime,
FlightNumber,
ArrStn
FROM #TimeCall
ORDER BY DepTime, FlightNumber
ELSE
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR
FOR SELECT AcType,
BackPax = CASE BackPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END,
BestPax = CASE BestPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END,
ArrTime,
FlightNumber,
DepStn
FROM #TimeCall
ORDER BY ArrTime, FlightNumber
And the error I get when the query is run for the first time after switching tool:
Server: Msg 202, Level 11, State 2, Procedure CreateFile, Line 178
Internal error -- Unable to open table at query execution time.
Server: Msg 202, Level 11, State 1, Procedure CreateFile, Line 188
Internal error -- Unable to open table at query execution time.
If I run the query again in one of the tools, it works. It also works if I use WITH RECOMPILE in the stored proc header.
If I use the code below, it also works, and without RECOMPILE:
DECLARE @SqlStr varchar( 255 )
IF @Departures = 1
SELECT @SqlStr = 'DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR ' +
'FOR SELECT AcType, ' +
'BackPax = CASE BackPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END, ' +
'BestPax = CASE BestPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END, ' +
'DepTime, FlightNumber, ArrStn ' +
'FROM #TimeCall ORDER BY DepTime, FlightNumber'
ELSE
SELECT @SqlStr = 'DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR ' +
'FOR SELECT AcType, ' +
'BackPax = CASE BackPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END, ' +
'BestPax = CASE BestPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END, ' +
'ArrTime, FlightNumber, DepStn ' +
'FROM #TimeCall ORDER BY ArrTime, FlightNumber'
EXECUTE( @SqlStr )
Trying to get around the problem with the following code did not do any good:
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT AcType,
BackPax = CASE BackPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END,
BestPax = CASE BestPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END,
CurTime = CASE @Departures
WHEN 1 THEN DepTime
ELSE ArrTime END,
FlightNumber,
OtherStation = CASE @Departures
WHEN 1 THEN ArrStn
ELSE DepStn END
FROM #TimeCall
ORDER BY CurTime, FlightNumber
Server: Msg 202, Level 11, State 2, Procedure CreateFile, Line 176
Internal error -- Unable to open table at query execution time.
Anyone have some good ideas on why this happens?

Hi,
I am trying to convert an active x script in a script task. Below is a snippet of code. The underlined AsOfDate has a blue squiggly line under it and if I hover over it, it says "Declaration Expected."
Public Class ScriptMain
Dim AsOfDate As String
AsOfDate = Dts.Variables("MyDate").Value
...
Can someone please tell me what I'm missing? I thought maybe I'm missing an import statement, but I have:
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
I have used similar syntax in script components and it works fine.
Thanks
Hi,
Can anybody help me with this, I've got a simple program to add a new record to a table (2 items ID - Integer and Program - String) that matches all examples I can find, but when I run it I get the error :
Must declare the scalar variable "@BookMarkArrayA".
when it reaches the .insert command, I've tried using a local variable temp in place of the array element and .ToString , but still get the same error
This is the code :
Public Sub NewCustomer()
Dim temp As String = " "
Dim ID As Integer = 1
'Restore the array from the view state
BookMarkArrayA = Me.ViewState("BookMarkArrayA")
temp = BookMarkArrayA(6)
Dim Customer As SqlDataSource = New SqlDataSource()
Customer.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("CustomerConnectionString").ToString()
Customer.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO [Table1] ([ID],[Program]) VALUES (@ID, @BookMarkArrayA(6))"
Customer.InsertParameters.Add ("ID", ID)
Customer.InsertParameters.Add ("Program", @BookMarkArrayA(6))
Customer.Insert()
End Sub

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some stored procedure and there is a cursor inside it. I added some new columns to the table and those columns I included in the cursor declaration and fetch statement. In the cursor declaration I forgot to add comma (,) in between the new columns. So SQL Server it considers as a alias name for that column so syntactically it is correct. But logically in the cursor declaration having less number of columns than the columns in the fetch statement. So it should throw an error. But the procedure is getting compiled without raising any error. But if I execute the procedure that time it is throwing the error.
For example, below I have given the sample procedure. In this procedure, in the cursor declaration I removed the comma (,) between DOB and DOJ. If I compile this procedure it is getting compiled. But when execute that time only it is throwing the error. So I am interested in if any option is available to know the error in the compilation time itself.
ALTER PROCEDURE Test

Hi All,
I'm using some xslt documents to transform the xml output of my Reports
but have come across two curiosities where the xslt filter seems to
behave unusually.
Firstly, I need the final saved file to have an xml declaration, which
I believe it should do by default. Even if I put
omit-xml-declaration="no" in the xsl:output tag I don't get an xml
declaration. At present we have a custom job that writes these
declarations back into the xml after SRS has saved it.
Secondly and more importantly, I need to have some of my output tags
wrapped in CDATA sections. I've tried using the cdata-section-elements
attribute, again with no luck.
my XSLT looks something like this (simplified for space)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" media-type="text/xml" omit-xml-declaration="no" cdata-section-elements="description"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="Report/table1/Detail_Collection/Detail">
<item>
<description>
<xsl:value-of select="@Description"/>
</description>
</item>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The output is something like:
<item>
<description>My first description text...</description>
</item>
<item>
<description>My seconddescription text...</description>
</item>
What I want is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<item>
<description><![CDATA[My first description text...]]></description>
</item>
<item>
<description><![CDATA[My secondfirst description text...]]></description>
</item>
All help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks - Andrew.
I think I may have figured out the solution to my recent conundrum with SQL Server 2000 that had me stressed and depressed over the last couple of days. In a nutshell, after a HotFix was installed on a SQL2K database server I have space on, I was unable to perform INSERT or UPDATE queries on database table of type TEXT, when trying to either create or modify records with more than 4,000 characters of data. While it was frustrating as heck, it seemed too rigid to be random, so I did some snooping.
The HotFix was intended to solve a known problem of not being able to run UPDATEs against TEXT fields, but in so doing, caused another headache entirely: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839523
Apparently this is a semi-known problem, in that a certain HotFix forces SQL Server 2000 to be a lot more stringent in requiring explicit declaration of data types and data lengths for parameters in stored procedure. In my client code, I was initially using the overloaded constructor of the SqlParameter object that took as arguments only the parameter name and a value, without specifying a value from the SQLDBType enumeration or length of the parameter (which in my case, needs to be TEXT and 16 (or 2147483647), respectively):
System.Data.SqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@parameterName",parameterValue);
It appears that after the HotFix is installed, if the client doesn’t syntactically set the type and length of data for a parameter, SQL Server and/or .NET will default to a type of NVARCHAR, which has the 4,000-character limit. This all makes sense. I’m going to now need to modify the code to straight out declare what’s going in the SPROC:
System.Data.SqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@parameterName",SqlDbType.Text);
System.Data.SqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand.Parameters["@parameterName"].Value = parameterValue;
It’s a minor change, and it sucks that I have to make it after the code had worked flawlessly over several thousands executions over several months, but c’est la vie! Better thay than have to rebuild my DB from scratch or switch to a new server. Changing the client code evidently is the only known fix at this time: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b827366
is there any way or a tool to identify if in procedure the Parameter length was declarated less than table Column length ..
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST001 (KeyName Varchar(100) ) a procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE SpFindNames ( @KeyName VARCHAR(40) )
AS
BEGIN
SELECT KeyName FROM TEST001
WHERE KeyName = @KeyName
END
KeyName = @KeyName
Here table Column with 100 char length "KeyName" was compared with SP parameter "@KeyName" with length 40 char ..
IS there any way to find out all such usage on the ALL Procedures in the Database ?

Hey all!
Sorry for the less then descriptive post title but I didn't find a better way to describe it. I'm developing an app in the express editions of VB and SQLserver. The application is a task/resource scheduler. The main form will have a datepicker or weekly overview and show all tasks scheduled per day. The problem is, I've got one or more people assigned to tasks and I wonder what's the best way to design this. Personally, I'd go for one Task table, a People table and a table that provides a link between them (several record per task, one for each person assigned linking TaskID and PplID). However, I don't see a nice way of showing this data to the end user, allowing him to edit/add etc on ONE screen.
To fix that the only way I see is just add columns to the Task table for every person with select boxes. This way everything can be done on one simple screen. This obviously does present some future issues.
On top of this, which people are available on a day varies and there should be an option to allow a user to set who is available on a specific day. Which would lead me to my first idea and add another table that would provide this. but then I'm having design issues again for the form.
I'm kinda stuck atm, can anyone shed some light on this. I'm sure there is an elegant way of doing this but I'm failing at finding it.
Thanks in advance,
Johan
Hi,
We're running a Sage CRM install with a SQL Server 2000 database at the back end. We're using the Sage web services API for updating data and a JDBC connection to retrieve data as it's so much quicker.
If I retrieve a record using the JDBC connection and then try and update the same record through the web services, the query times out as if the record is locked for updates. Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what I'm doing wrong? If I just use DriverManager.getConnection() to establish the connection instead of the datasource, and then continue with the same code I don't get these record locking problems. Please find more details below.
Thanks,
Sarah
The JDBC provider for the datasource is a WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC for SQL Server DataSource, using an implementation type of 'connection pool datasource'. We are using a container managed J2C authentication alias for logging on.
This is running on a Websphere Application Server v6.1.
Code snippet - getting the record thru JDBC:
DataSource wsDataSource = serviceLocator.getDataSource("jdbc/dsSQLServer");
Connection wsCon = wsDataSource.getConnection();
// wsCon.setAutoCommit(false); //have tried with and without this flag - same results
Statements stmt = wsCon.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM Person where personID = 12345";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
if(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getString("lastName"));
}
if (rs != null){
rs.close();
}
if (stmt != null) {
stmt.close();
}
if (wsCon != null) {
wsCon.close();
}
I am attempting to create a multi-record file (as described in my last thread) and have found the following set of instructions very helpful:
http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have been able to create a sample file with two of my record types.
I now need to build on this further, because I have 9 record types in total that need to be extracted to a single flat file.
does anyone have any ideas how I might extend the example above to include more record types or know of another means of achieving this?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
