I have a User-defined function "Concatenate_NoteTexts" which I use in a
query (SQL Server 2000). On my local development machine it is called like
this:
SELECT
dbo.Concatenate_NoteTexts(Introducers.IntroducerID ) as NoteTexts
FROM tblIntroducers
I want to run the same code on a shared remote server where I am user "JON"
instead of "dbo". I don't want to hard-code the User Name into the SQL, but
when I tried to put the user name into a variable as here:
DECLARE @USER_NAME VarChar(30)
SET @USER_NAME = USER_NAME()
SELECT
@USER_NAME.Concatenate_NoteTexts(Introducers.Intro ducerID) as NoteTexts
FROM tblIntroducers
I get the following error:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Line 4: Incorrect syntax near '.'
Any advice?
TIA,
JON

I have the below code and have two questions. 1) With the current delete control, the system breaks stating: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Must declare the variable '@doc_area_id'. 2) Currently the Area Type column brings up all records set as '1'. It shows the value '1' for each column. I would like it to state the text 'Shared Area' under the Area Type Column where it is set as '1' in the database.
I am learning T-SQL syntax and I am very familiar with it, however how would I do the following:
We have a table that actually has a column that contains SQL statements. I want to build a SQL statement in Reporting Services that is going to take that column to build a "dynamic" SQL statment and then I will use the exec sp_executesql statement.
Do I need to declare a parameter, or in SQL is there such thing as a variable?
So if I have:
DECLARE @sql nvarchar(4000)
SELECT AdHocSQL from TheTable
SET @sql=AdHocSQL
Would this work? Is this syntatically correct? Or should I be doing this some other way?
The report is sort of a summary report that has about 250 different items and each item has different data to get from different tables.
I have a job that runs in sql 2008r2 that declares a value to a variable. This variable is passed to a function. I need to include more values in and am unsure how to do this. @InCo could be 4,5,6,or 7.
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance, Andy

I need to do something relatively simple…I need to update a table using a cursor. (I may have to create astored procedure for doing this…)I need to declare an update cursor, fetch the cursor and update thedata (and presumably close the cursor and de-allocate it…The update query is as follows… Would anyone there know how todeclare the cursor for update and use it?UPDATE ASET A.Field1 =(SELECT B.Field1FROM B INNER JOIN A ON A.id = B.id)I need to know how to declare the cursor and fetch it.Can anyone give me an example of the code I need for the SQL Server?Thanks!
HiCan someone please shed some light as to how this can be done. With the below sql statement as you can see I don't want to declare the table name but would rather the table name be passed in via a parameter. I've tried declaring it as a varchar parameter but it doesnt seem to like it if I don't add a valid table name. Any ideas how this can be done. Thanks.select * from @tableName where condition = condition

HI, WHILE DECLARING A CURSOR TO SELECT RECORDS FROM A TABLE WE NORMALLY WRITE :-
DECLARE CUR_NAME CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM CLEANCUSTOMER
BUT SAY, IF I HAVE WRITTEN A SIMPLE PROCEDURE CALLED AS MY_PROC :-
CREATE PROCEDURE MY_PROC AS SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC FROM CLEANCUSTOMER A INNER JOIN TRCUSTOMERPREFERENCE03JULY B ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID ORDER BY B.INTPREFERENCEID
WHICH IS RUNNING FINE AND GIVING ME THE REQUIRED DATA WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCEDURE :-
EXEC MY_PROC
BUT IF I WANT TO CALL THIS PROCEDURE MY_PROC WHILE DECLARING A CURSOR :-
I AM USING :-
DECLARE CHK_CUR CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM MY_PROC
WHICH IS GIVING AN ERROR "Invalid object name 'MY_PROC'."
AND IF I USE :-

WHICH IS GIVING AN ERROR "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'EXEC'".
AND IF I USE :-
DECLARE CHK_CUR CURSOR FOR CALL MY_PROC
WHICH IS GIVING AN ERROR "Incorrect syntax near 'CALL'. "
IS THERE ANY WAY BY WHICH I CAN FETCH RECORDS FROM THE STORED PROCEDURE? HOW DO I DECLARE THE PROCEDURE WHILE WRITING THE CURSOR PLS HELP.
I NEED THIS URGENTLY, I HAVE TO USE THE CURSOR TO FETCH THE RECORDS FROM THE SP,THAT'S HOW THEY WANT IT.I CAN'T HELP IT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
So I know my code is pretty far off on the variables, but I couldn't find info on how to do this anywhere. Do I need to use sub selects to set the variables? Or something other than variables?
As discovered when trying to create a custom transformation for this question (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=899895&SiteID=1&mode=1) I tried creating an object of type DataTable and I get this error

Even if I add "Imports System.XML" I get the same error. Isn't DataTable part of System.Data (which is imported by default in Script Components)? Everyone else get the same behavior?
How do I set a variable to represent all of the data. For example using SELECT * will pull all of the data. Is there any symbol or way to declare and set a variable to do the same exact concept. In my query I have set many different variables which are used later on in my where clause but depending on what information I'm pulling from the data I don't wan the variable to have a specific value and instead pull all the data.
I have a stored procedure that prompts the user for a year and a month. Based on the month selected, I need to determine the number of days in that month.
I have tried declaring variables to use to calculate number of days in month and a counter, but they are not working. When I try to run this it says I have to prompt user for these as well. How do I declare and set a variable inside a stored procedure.

Hey I have created a multi-statement table valued function
alter function fn_x(@x int)returns @tbl table ( position int identity primary key, i int) as begin insert into @tbl values (@x) insert into @tbl values (@x) insert into @tbl values (@x) insert into @tbl values (@x) returnend
Is it possible skipping the definition of the table columns (the light blue part)?I need to return a different structure based on a parameter.Dropping those lines throws an error "incorrect syntax near 'as'" The other solution is declaring each udf separately as one statement udf.Thanks
I can't understand why I get 2 different results on running with a Bracket I get 'NULL' and without a bracket I get the declared variable value which is 'Noname'
Below is Query 1:

Out put of this query is 'Noname'
BUT when I type the same query in the following manner I get Null-------Please note that the only difference between this query below is I used brackets and Select in the Select@testvar statement
Declare @testvar char(20) Set @testvar = 'noname' Select @testvar=(Select pub_name FROM publishers WHERE pub_id= '999') Select @testvar
ALTER function [Event].[DetermineTrackTime](@TrialID varchar(max)) returns int as begin Declare @ret int; Declare @EnterVolumeTime int; Declare @ExitVolumeTime int; Declare @StartTrackTime int;

I am getting the following error on line 75:

This is happening when declaring TrackUpdateCursor
The compiler has no problem with the VolumeTimesCursor. What is causing this and what can I do about it?
After I learned the XML Schemas Collection, Using XML Data and 5 XML data type methods : query(), valuse(), exist(), modify(), and node(), I just started to do XQuery by using the Microsoft XQuery Language Reference - SQL Server 2012 Books Online and Handling Namespaces in XQuery of [URL]. I copied the following code:
-- Handlimng Namespace in Xquery (Page 6 of XQuery Languge Reference & Examples of msdn library)
-- Example A. Declaring a namespace
-- saved as MicrosoftXQueryPage6 in C:DocumentsXquery-SQLServer2012

I executed the code in my Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). It worked nicely.

I'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.
I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?
I have a SQL Task that updates running totals on a record inserted using a Data Flow Task. The package runs without error, but the actual row does not calculate the running totals. I suspect that the inserted record is not committed until the package completes and the SQL Task is seeing the previous record as the current. Here is the code in the SQL Task:
DECLARE @DV INT; SET @DV = (SELECT MAX(DateValue) FROM tblTG); DECLARE @PV INT; SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I've not been successful in passing a SSIS global variable to a declared parameter, but is it possible to do this:
DECLARE @DV INT; SET @DV = ?; DECLARE @PV INT; SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I have almost 50 references to these parameters in the query so a substitution would be helpful.
I'm new to SSIS, but have been programming in SQL and ASP.Net for several years. In Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition I've created an SSIS that imports data from a flat file into the database. The original process worked, but did not check the creation date of the import file. I've been asked to add logic that will check that date and verify that it's more recent than a value stored in the database before the import process executes.
Here are the task steps.
[Execute SQL Task] - Run a stored procedure that checks to see if the import is running. If so, stop execution. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
[Execute SQL Task] - Log an entry to a table indicating that the import has started.
[Script Task] - Get the create date for the current flat file via the reference provided in the file connection manager. Assign that date to a global value (FileCreateDate) and pass it to the next step. This works.
[Execute SQL Task] - Compare this file date with the last file create date in the database. This is where the process breaks. This step depends on 2 variables defined at a global level. The first is FileCreateDate, which gets set in step 3. The second is a global variable named IsNewFile. That variable needs to be set in this step based on what the stored procedure this step calls finds out on the database. Precedence constraints direct behavior to the next proper node according to the TRUE/FALSE setting of IsNewFile.
If IsNewFile is FALSE, direct the process to a step that enters a log entry to a table and conclude execution of the SSIS.
If IsNewFile is TRUE, proceed with the import. There are 5 other subsequent steps that follow this decision, but since those work they are not relevant to this post. Here is the stored procedure that Step 4 is calling. You can see that I experimented with using and not using the OUTPUT option. I really don't care if it returns the value as an OUTPUT or as a field in a recordset. All I care about is getting that value back from the stored procedure so this node in the decision tree can point the flow in the correct direction.
The SSIS package passes the FileCreateDate parameter to this procedure, which then compares that parameter with the date saved in tbl_ImportFileCreateDate.
If the date is newer (or if there is no date), it updates the field in that table and returns a TRUE IsNewFile bit value in a recordset.
Otherwise it returns a FALSE value in the IsNewFile column.
SELECT @CreateDateInTable = FileCreateDate FROM tbl_ImportFileCreateDate WHERE ProcessName = @ProcessName
IF EXISTS (SELECT ProcessName FROM tbl_ImportFileCreateDate WHERE ProcessName = @ProcessName)
BEGIN
-- The process exists in tbl_ImportFileCreateDate. Compare the create dates.
IF (@FileCreateDate > @CreateDateInTable)
BEGIN
-- This is a newer file date. Update the table and set @IsNewFile to TRUE.
UPDATE tbl_ImportFileCreateDate
SET FileCreateDate = @FileCreateDate
WHERE ProcessName = @ProcessName
SET @IsNewFile = 1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
-- The file date is the same or older.
SET @IsNewFile = 0
END
END
ELSE
BEGIN
-- This is a new process for tbl_ImportFileCreateDate. Add a record to that table and set @IsNewFile to TRUE.
INSERT INTO tbl_ImportFileCreateDate (ProcessName, FileCreateDate)
VALUES (@ProcessName, @FileCreateDate)
SET @IsNewFile = 1
END
SELECT @IsNewFile
The relevant Global Variables in the package are defined as follows: Name : Scope : Date Type : Value FileCreateDate : (Package Name) : DateType : 1/1/2000 IsNewFile : (Package Name) : Boolean : False
Setting the properties in the "Execute SQL Task Editor" has been the difficult part of this. Here are the settings.

When the above is run tbl_ImportFileCreateDate does not get updated, so it's failing at some point when calling the procedure.

The IsNewFile global variable is scoped at the package level and has a Boolean data type, and the Output parameter in the stored procedure is defined as a Bit. So what gives?
The "Possible Failure Reasons" message is so generic that it's been useless to me. And I've been unable to find any examples online that explain how to do what I'm attempting. This would seem to be a very common task. My suspicion is that one or more of the settings in that Execute SQL Task node is bad. Or that there is some cryptic, undocumented reason that this is failing.
I am in the middle of taking course 2073B €“ Programming a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database. I noticed that in Module9: Implementing User-Defined Functions exercise 2, page 25; step 2 is not returning the correct answer.
Select employeeid,name,title,mgremployeeid from dbo.fn_findreports(2)
It returns manager id for both 2 and 5 and I think it should just return the results only for manager id 2. The query results for step 1 is correct but not for step 2.
Somewhere in the code I think it should compare the inemployeeid with the previous inemployeeid, and then add a counter. If the two inemployeeid are not the same then reset the counter. Then maybe add an if statement or a case statement. Can you help with the logic? Thanks!
Here is the code of the function in the book:
/* ** fn_FindReports.sql ** ** This multi-statement table-valued user-defined ** function takes an EmplyeeID number as its parameter ** and provides information about all employees who ** report to that person. */ USE ClassNorthwind GO /* ** As a multi-statement table-valued user-defined ** function it starts with the function name, ** input parameter definition and defines the output ** table. */ CREATE FUNCTION fn_FindReports (@InEmployeeID char(5)) RETURNS @reports TABLE (EmployeeID char(5) PRIMARY KEY, Name nvarchar(40) NOT NULL, Title nvarchar(30), MgrEmployeeID int, processed tinyint default 0) -- Returns a result set that lists all the employees who -- report to a given employee directly or indirectly AS BEGIN DECLARE @RowsAdded int -- Initialize @reports with direct reports of the given employee INSERT @reports SELECT EmployeeID, Name = FirstName + ' ' + LastName, Title, ReportsTo, 0 FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE ReportsTo = @InEmployeeID SET @RowsAdded = @@rowcount -- While new employees were added in the previous iteration WHILE @RowsAdded > 0 BEGIN -- Mark all employee records whose direct reports are going to be -- found in this iteration UPDATE @reports SET processed = 1 WHERE processed = 0
