Dynamic Column Bind (Select * From..)
Jul 9, 2007
I'm looking for a way to use SSRS to display the contents of a returned dataset with 1-n columns. The number of columns is unknown at design time and the datasetview is using a stored procedure with 1 parameter to return the data. Does any one know if RDL supports wildcard(*) characters for field names or if there is another method.
I have this working via a web based custom aspx page but it would be VERY helpful to utilize all the document conversion features the SSRS reports provide via the web.
Thanks for any help.

I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems. To select the OrderID values from the table I say
Select OrderId from Order.
But in the select if I want the column name to be variable how do I do it. I tried the following code through a stored procedure.
declare @order_id nvarchar(10)
select @order_id = 'OrderID'
SELECT @order_id from Order.
The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.

Hi Craig/Kamal,
I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be
very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question
regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find
relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets
Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name
Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc.
And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position
Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic
Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers.

Hi there,
I am a new member of this site and I am not very much aware of T-sql's working.
My question is what if I need to get one column's data to be the heading of another column.
To be very exact I have a school's database. The table I am talking about is of the results of students. The table contains Student ID, Subject ID, Total marks of the subject, Marks obtained in the subject. Now I want to print a report by generating data from this table. Right now the data is something like this
StuID - - - SubID - - - -Tot - - -Obt
1 - - - - - - -1 - - - - - - -50 - - - 38
1 - - - - - - -2 - - - - - - -50 - - - 41
1 - - - - - - -3 - - - - - - -50 - - - 42
1 - - - - - - -4 - - - - - - -50 - - - 40
2 - - - - - - -1 - - - - - - -50 - - - 35
2 - - - - - - -2 - - - - - - -50 - - - 40
2 - - - - - - -3 - - - - - - -50 - - - 42
2 - - - - - - -4 - - - - - - -50 - - - 41
StudentID and SubjectID fields are related to other tables so I can get the names from there but when I need the report I need the data in the form of
StuID - Sub 1 - - - Sub 2 - - - Sub 3 - - - -Sub4
1 - - - - 38 - - - - - - 41 - - - - - - 42 - - - - - - 40
2 - - - - 35 - - - - - - 40 - - - - - - 42 - - - - - - 41
The Subjects can be different for different students so the query should be dynamic instead of hard coding the names of the subjects. I hope I am clear with my question. The subjectIDs or their names will become the headings and they will contain the obtained marks for that subjects in their columns just for the reports. I have also checked the PIVOT function but was not able to do what I wanted.
Thanks.

I'm building a select string on the fly based on criteria selected by the user. The user is given a data grid with Names and Check Boxes, where they can select multiple names and then either print those selections, or download them to excel. Everything is working fine, except when the Name has an ' in it. For example O'Kelly or St. John's. I know I can take all the 's out of the database, but I'd rather keep the data authentic. Is there a way to manipulate a select string built on the fly accounting for an embedded '?
For example, I build Select * from table where Name IN ('Smith', 'Jones', 'Jordan', 'Bird', 'O'Kelly').... the ' in O'Kelly ends my string and my sql statement blows up.
Any ideas?
Sample Code:<code> For Each SelectedIndex In rsc.SelectedIndexes Counter=Counter + 1 dgAssociates.SelectedIndex = SelectedIndex If Counter = 1 then SelectString = "Select * from Associate_Table where AssociateID IN ('" & dgAssociates.SelectedItem.Cells(16).Text() & "'" Else SelectString &= ",'" & dgAssociates.SelectedItem.Cells(16).Text() & "'" End If Next If Counter > 0 then SelectString &= ")" End If</code>

Hi all
I am trying to do dynamic Select for Cursor. The dynamic would be like this:
IF CONDITION1 IS TRUE:
SELECT CustomerTenderID, CustomerSiteID, ContractPeriod, SupplierID

IF CONDITION2 IS TRUE:
SELECT CustomerTenderID, CustomerSiteID, ContractPeriod, SupplierID
FROM dbo.tnd_TenderSiteRateConsumptionView
WHERE CustomerTenderID = @CustomerTenderID AND
CustomerSiteID = @CustomerSiteID
etc etc
Here's the cursor
DECLARE RateList CURSOR FOR
SELECT CustomerTenderID, CustomerSiteID, ContractPeriod, SupplierID
FROM dbo.tnd_TenderSiteRateConsumptionView
WHERE (BASED ON CONDITION)
ORDER BY CustomerTenderID,
CustomerSiteID,
SupplierID,
ContractPeriod
OPEN RateList
FETCH NEXT FROM RateList
INTO@CustomerTenderID, @ReturnedCustomerSiteID, @ReturnedContractPeriod, @ReturnedSupplierID
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @rowNum = @rowNum + 1
-- DO SOME FUNKY STUFF
FETCH NEXT
FROM RateList
INTO@CustomerTenderID, @ReturnedCustomerSiteID, @ReturnedContractPeriod, @ReturnedSupplierID

I need to implement a "dynamic" select query, in which I want that the type and the number of columns are variable/changeable. For example using the parameters of a stored procedures. I would have a client code (written in VB .NET) in which I would choose the columns that I want to display in a DataGridView.
How should I modify the SELECT line or the SP in general to solve the problem??
The code I need to modify is this:
Code Snippet
CREATE PROCEDURE uspSelect1
@iDataInit datetime = '01 gen 1753',
@iDataEnd datetime = '31 dic 9999',
@iArticle nvarchar(50) = N'%',
@iMachineNum smallint,
@iTypeMaterial nvarchar(50) = N'%',
@iNominalCount float,
@iOperator nvarchar(50) = N'%',
@iCustomer varchar(50) = N'%',
@iComments nvarchar(1000) = N'%',
@iLanguage nvarchar(50) = N'%'
AS
SELECT i.IDsample, i.Date, i.Article, i.MachineNum, i.TypeMaterial, i.NominalCount, i.Operator, i.Customer, i.Comments, i.Language, r.Um, r.CVm
FROM Identification i JOIN Reports r
ON (i.IDsample = r.IDsample)
WHERE i.Date BETWEEN @iDataInit AND @iDataEnd
AND i.Article LIKE @iArticle
AND i.MachineNum = ISNULL(@iMachineNum, i.MachineNum)
AND i.TypeMaterial LIKE @iTypeMaterial
AND i.NominalCount = ISNULL(@iNominalCount, i.NominalCount)
AND i.Operator LIKE @iOperator
AND i.Customer LIKE @iCustomer
AND i.Comments LIKE @iComments
AND i.Language LIKE @iLanguage
ORDER BY i.IDsample
Thank you.

In Dot net 2.0 we change using SQLDataSource to Conect with SQLDB.
Now for My case ,the Select SQL is dynamic when differnece user and parameters to the page, So if I want to Update the data input by user,then I must give Update/insert/delelte SQL to SQLDatasource's InsertCommand /UpdateCommand/DeleteCommand .
How to Generate the Insert/update/delete command for the SQLDataSource ? as in dot net 1.1 can use SQLCommandBuilder to generate it,but SQLCommandBuilder just support DataAdeptor not for SQLDataSource, Could any body know how to do it when the SelectCommand is dynamic and need to update data back to DB after edit?
thanks a lot.

I have a GridView (that uses SqlDataSource1) and a Dropdownlist. Depending upon the value selected on the DropDownList I need to select different stored procedures for the gridview. The problem is that I can do it without taking SqlDataSource1 by using DataSet or DataTable. But, I need to Use SQLDataSource1 for easy way of Header SORTING. So, is there any way to change the SQLDatasource1.SELECT Command dynamically. So that, I can use different queries for the Single DataGrid. I have attached the sample code of the SqlDataSource1 I'm using. I need to change the Command i.e. SelectCommand="usp_reports_shortages" to "usp_reports_shortagesbyID" and "usp_reports_shortagesbyDate" depending on the value selected in the dropdownlist. So, is there any way to do this????<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1"
runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$
ConnectionStrings:TESTDrivercommunication %>"
SelectCommand="usp_reports_shortages" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="lblDriver" Name="date1" PropertyName="Text" Type="DateTime" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="lblTODate" Name="date2" PropertyName="Text" Type="DateTime" />
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DDlDriver" Name="driver" PropertyName="SelectedValue"
Type="Int32" />
<asp:SessionParameter Name="week" SessionField="s_week" Type="DateTime" />
</SelectParameters>

I am trying to implement an "advanced search" feature on my ASP.NET 2.0 web form. I have a GridView control and a SqlDataSource. The SqlDataSource control successfully retrieves data when the SelectCommand attribute is set in the aspx page. I need to make it so when a user clicks on a button, it can take a value from a text box and use it in the WHERE clause. I have tried setting the SelectCommand programmatically and then DataBinding but it never accepts the new SelectCommand. What can I do to fix this?

Would it be possible to retrieve a "dynamically" named field from a table by using an input parameter?
For example, if a table has fields named Semester1, Semester2, Semester3, Semester4, and I was lazy and only wanted to create one stored procedure for all semesters could I do the following...
ALTER PROCEDURE u_sp_x
@semester int
AS
Select Semester@semester
From ThisTable
Just curious.
Thanks,

I'm expecting to revamp some stored procs so that their selects are executed on a dynamic string that always returns the same columns but varies the sources.
I'm concerned that the bread and butter of products like RS and SSIS is the ability to predict what columns, and what column types to expect from a query, but that introducing dynamic sql will complicate using them.
I'm motivated not to use temp tables or table vars if possible. I'm also somewhat motivated to learn of a solution that works equally well in 2000 and 2005.
I've tried wrapping dynamic calls in a select as shown below but to no avail...
After€¦
declare @sqlString nvarchar(4000)
set @sqlString = 'select * from [' + @dbName + '].[dbo].[activity]'
I€™ve already tried things like€¦.
select a.* from exec sp_executesql @sqlString a
and
select * from exec (@sqlString)

Example, suppose you have these 2 tables(NOTE: My example is totally different, but I'm simply trying to setupthe a simpler version, so excuse the bad design; not the point here)CarsSold {CarsSoldID int (primary key)MonthID intDealershipID intNumberCarsSold int}Dealership {DealershipID int, (primary key)SalesTax decimal}so you may have many delearships selling cars the same month, and youwanted a report to sum up totals of all dealerships per month.select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDMy question is, is there a way to achieve something like this:select cs.MonthID,sum(cs.NumberCarsSold) as 'TotalCarsSoldInMonth',TotalCarsSoldInMonth * d.SalesTax as 'TotalRevenue'from CarsSold csjoin Dealership d on d.DealershipID = cs.DealershipIDgroup by cs.MonthIDNotice the only difference is the 3rd column in the select. Myparticular query is performing some crazy math and the only way I knowof how to get it to work is to copy and past the logic which isgetting out way out of hand...Thanks,Dave

In SQL Server you can do a SELECT INTO to create a new table, much like CREAT TABLE AS in Oracle. I'm putting together a dynamic script that will create a table with the number of columns being the dynamic part of my script. Got any suggestions that come to mind?
Example:
I need to count the number of weeks between two dates, my columns in the table need to be at least one for every week returned in my query.
I'm thinking of getting a count of the number of weeks then building my column string comma separated then do my CREATE TABLE statement rather then the SELECT INTO... But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that using a variable that holds the string of column names. I'm guess the only way I can do this is via either VBScript or VB rather then from within the database.
BTW - this would be a stored procedure...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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
Thoughts?

declare @No bigint
set @No = 5
set @table = 'sam'
set @varcount = ''
select @vsSql = 'declare @varcount varchar(max); select @varcount = count(*) from ' + @table + '; If convert(bigint,@varcount) <> ' + @No + ' raiserror(' +'mismatch, 11,1' +')'
When executed it throws the follwing error

Hello,I'm still extremely novice to SQL and I've tried googling how to produce this result but I've been encountering a lot dynamic sql commands which isn't exactly what I want. If this is an ignorant question I do apologize but heres my scenario: I have a table with columns of the day, for instance: Monday_hasData (bit)Monday_DataAnd what I want to do is essentially pass in "Monday" as a parameter and rather than doing an If statement on each row, I would like to just like to do something like assign @dayCheck + "_hasData" to a variable and then use @dayCheck as part of my query. Is this possible or am I going to have to have 7 cases? Thank you for any input,Chance

Hi everyone,
So I have to export from a SQL 2005 table to a dBaseIV table using SSIS. Easy enough, however the catch is that the tables being exported will vary. I can send variables to the the package calling the sql table name and creating the DBF file with the same columns on the fly.
The problem is mapping the columns. From what I've been reading there is no way to alter the mapping in a package at runtime. I was hoping that there would be some sort of auto mapping setting that would match on the field names but I guess not. Anybody run in to this issue and have a work around? Thanks in advance....
