Dynamic SQL In Cursor

Jun 10, 2004

I need to pass a list of values into a cursor as such...


DECLARE
@group_SQL varchar(255)

SET @group_SQL = 'SELECT group_id FROM groups where group_id in (' + @group_id + ')'

DECLARE groupContact_import_cursor CURSOR
FOR EXEC(@group_SQL)
OPEN groupContact_import_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM groupContact_import_cursor INTO @group_id
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
insert into groupContacts (group_id, contact_id) values (@group_id, @new_cid)
FETCH NEXT FROM groupContact_import_cursor INTO @group_id
END
CLOSE groupContact_import_cursor
DEALLOCATE groupContact_import_cursor

But MS SQL doesn't seem to like the FOR EXEC(@group_SQL). Can someone shed some light?

TIA

Dynamic Cursor Versus Forward Only Cursor Gives Poor Performance

Jul 20, 2005

Hello,I have a test database with table A containing 10,000 rows and a tableB containing 100,000 rows. Rows in B are "children" of rows in A -each row in A has 10 related rows in B (ie. B has a foreign key to A).Using ODBC I am executing the following loop 10,000 times, expressedbelow in pseudo-code:"select * from A order by a_pk option (fast 1)""fetch from A result set""select * from B where where fk_to_a = 'xxx' order by b_pk option(fast 1)""fetch from B result set" repeated 10 timesIn the above psueod-code 'xxx' is the primary key of the current Arow. NOTE: it is not a mistake that we are repeatedly doing the Aquery and retrieving only the first row.When the queries use fast-forward-only cursors this takes about 2.5minutes. When the queries use dynamic cursors this takes about 1 hour.Does anyone know why the dynamic cursor is killing performance?Because of the SQL Server ODBC driver it is not possible to havenested/multiple fast-forward-only cursors, hence I need to exploreother alternatives.I can only assume that a different query plan is getting constructedfor the dynamic cursor case versus the fast forward only cursor, but Ihave no way of finding out what that query plan is.All help appreciated.Kevin

Dynamic Cursor

Mar 17, 2004

I am trying to use a dynamic cursor in a stored procedure:
The code looks like this :


/************************************************** ***
set @sFormula = 'Monthlyformula'
set @sStartDate = '02/01/2004'
set @sEndDate = '02/01/2004'


exec('DECLARE APPGRIDROWS_METRICS CURSOR FOR select populateid From appgridrows where histdisplaygrid = 3 And '+ @sFormula +' Is Null and exists (SELECT 1 From PAYROLL_DATA_PERIOD as h Where h.id=1 and h.populateid=appgridrows.populateid and h.StartDate between '+ @sStartDate +' and '+ @sEndDate +')' )
/************************************************** ***

And this is what it is interpreting

select populateid From appgridrows where histdisplaygrid = 3 And Monthlyformula Is Null and exists (SELECT 1 From PAYROLL_DATA_PERIOD as h Where h.id=1 and h.populateid=appgridrows.populateid and h.StartDate between 02/01/2004 and 02/01/2004)

My problem is Is there anyway that I can put the quotes before those dates('02/01/2004') so that my cursor has some records returned

Thanks in advance

Declare Cursor With Dynamic SQL?

Jul 23, 2002

Hello..

Can you declare a cursor with dynamic SQL?

I have a situation where the SQL for my cursor MUST be assembled in a buffer, but I cannot get the cursor declaration to accept my buffer as the SQL statement.

these attempts did not work:

DECLARE crsCursor CURSOR FOR @vchrSQL
DECLARE crsCursor CURSOR FOR (@vchrSQL)

Does anybody know if you definitely can or definitely cannot use dynamic SQL with cursors?

Using A Dynamic Top Statement With A Cursor

Help please,Have a situation when converting from Oracle SP's to SQL SP's. The oldoracle cursor was roughly as followsCURSOR cur_rsStock ISselect*from(select StockRowId, CategoryIdfromSTOCKDISPOSABLEwhereSTOCKDEFID=numDefIdORDER BYSTOCKROWID)whereROWNUM <= numQuantity;The closest I can get in MS SQL is as follows :declare cur_rsStockCURSOR forselect top @numQuantityStockRowId, CategoryIdfromSTOCKDISPOSABLEwhereSTOCKDEFID=numDefIdORDER BYSTOCKROWIDBut, SQL doesn't allow variables next to top. I know I can assign the wholeselect statement to a string and use exec to exec the string to get arecordset but how can I point a cursor to receive its output?i.e.set @strSQl = select top ' + @numQuantity + ' StockRowId, CategoryId.......exec @strSQLbut how do I dodeclare cur_rsStockset cur_rsStock = ( exec @strSQL)Flapper

Transact SQL :: SET ROWCOUNT Applies To Dynamic Cursor

Jul 23, 2015

i read in the SET ROWCOUNT documentation URL.... that 'The ROWCOUNT option does not affect dynamic cursors', it does affect my dynamic cursor created in a table function which looks like this :

CREATE FUNCTION MyTableFunction() 
RETURNS @MyTable TABLE (MYFIELD INTEGER)
AS
BEGIN
  DECLARE @xxx INTEGER
  DECLARE My_Cursor CURSOR DYNAMIC FOR
 
[code]...

I would like the number of rows retruned by MyTableFunction limited to 2, but NOT the inside proc cursor's select !Set Rowcount 0 is forbidden in table function. I cannot use TOP in select * from MyTableFunction instead of setting ROWCOUNT to 2. I'm using SQL Server 2008 or 2012.

Dynamic Query, Local Cursor Variable And Global Cursors

Oct 3, 2006

Hi all.



I am stuck in a bit of a conundrum for quite a while now, and I hope someone here will help me figure this one out.



So, first things first: let me explain what I need to do. I am
designing a web application that will allow users to consult info
available in a SQL2000 database. The user will enter the search
criterea, and hopefully the web page will show matching results.



The problem is the results shown aren't available per se in the DB, I
need to process the data a bit. I decided to do so on the SQL Server
side, though the use of cursors. So, when a user defines his search
criteria, I run a stored procedure that begins by building a dynamic
sql query and creating a cursor for it. I used a global cursor in order
to do so. It looked something like this:



SET @sqlQuery = ... (build the dinamic sql query)

SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE myCursor CURSOR GLOBAL FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery

EXEC @cursorQuery

OPEN myCursor

FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor INTO ...

CLOSE myCursor

DEALLOCATE myCursor



This works fine, if there's only one instance of the
stored procedure running at a time. Should another user connect to the
site and run a search while someone's at it, it'll fail due to the
atempt to create a cursor with the same name.



My first thought was to make the cursor name unique, which led me to:

...

SET @cursorName = 'myCursor' + @uniqueUserID

SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE '+ @cursorName + 'CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery

EXEC @cursorQuery

...



The problem with this is that I can't do a FETCH NEXT FROM @cursorName since
@cursorName is a char variable holding the cursor name, and not a
cursor variable. So to enforce this unique name method the only option
I have is to keep creating dynamic sql queries and exucting them. And
this makes the sp a bitch to develop and maintain, and I'm guessing it
doesn't make it very performant.



So I moved on to my second idea: local cursor variables. The problem with
this is that if I create a local cursor variable by executing a dynamic
query, I can't extract it from the EXEC (or sp_executesql) context, as
it offers no output variable.


I guess my concrete questions are:


Is it possible to execute a dynamic sql query and extract a (cursor) variable from it?Is it possible to populate a local cursor variable with a global cursor, by providing the global cursor's name?Can I create a local cursor variable for a dynamic sql query? How?



Anybody sees another way arround this?Thanks in advance,

Carlos

SQL Server 2008 :: Use Cursor To Run Dynamic To Find Special Characters Used In Database

Apr 16, 2015

I need to find all uses of special characters in a database. I used the following code to do this:

USE dbName
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#Results') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Results
GO

[code]...

This will check all tables in the database, but if you want to check specific tables you can uncomment the line in the where clause and specify tables to be checked. The query will return any text fields that have any characters other than letters, numbers or spaces.

This code works fine for me because all the tables in my database have single column primary keys. However I know how much Jeff Moden hates cursors or RBAR queries, so my question is could this have been done by any method other than using a cursor?

Transact SQL :: STATIC Defines A Cursor That Makes Temporary Copy Of Data To Be Used By Cursor

Aug 12, 2015

In MSDN file I read about static cursor

STATIC
Defines a cursor that makes a temporary copy of the data to be used by the cursor. All requests to the cursor are answered from this temporary table in
tempdb; therefore, modifications made to base tables are not reflected in the data returned by fetches made to this cursor, and this cursor does not allow modifications

It say's that modifications is not allowed in the static cursor. I have a  questions regarding that

Static Cursor
declare ll cursor global static
            for select  name, salary from ag
  open ll
             fetch from ll
 
              while @@FETCH_STATUS=0
               fetch from ll
                update ag set salary=200 where 1=1
 
   close ll
deallocate ll

In "AG" table, "SALARY" was 100 for all the entries. When I run the Cursor, it showed the salary value as "100" correctly.After the cursor was closed, I run the query select * from AG.But the result had updated to salary 200 as given in the cursor. file says  modifications is not allowed in the static cursor.But I am able to update the data using static cursor.

Importing Excel Sheet Which Have Dynamic Column Name And Dynamic Number Of Columns

Aug 25, 2007

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.

SSRS 2005 - Email Report On Execution To Dynamic List With Dynamic Parameters = No Schedule

Nov 23, 2007

Hi,
I have a need to display on screen AND email a pdf report to email addresses specified at run time, executing the report with a parameter specified by the user. I have looked into data driven subscriptions, but it seems this is based on scheduling. Unfortunately for the majority of the project I will only have access to SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Production system is Enterprise), so I cannot investigate thoroughly.

So, is this possible using data driven subscriptions? Scenario is:

1. User enters parameter used for query, as well as email addresses.
2. Report is generated and displayed on screen.
3. Report is emailed to addresses specified by user.

Any tips on how to get this working?

Thanks

Merge Replication W/ Dynamic Row Filter - Not 'dynamic' After First Initial Sync?

May 2, 2007

If anyone could confirm...

SQL Server 2000 SP4 to multiple SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition on PDAs. My DB on SQL2k is published with a single dynamic row filter using host_name() on my 'parent' table and also join filters from parent to child tables. The row filter uses joins to other tables elsewhere that are not published to evaluate what data is allowed through the filter.

E.g. Published parent table that contains suppliers names, etc. while child table is suppliers' products. The filter queries host_name(s) linked to suppliers in unpublished table elsewhere.

First initial sync with snapshot is correct and as I expected - PDA receives only the data from parent (and thus child tables) that matches the row filter for the host_name provided.

However - in my scenario host_name <--> suppliers may later be updated E.g. more suppliers assigned to a PDA for use or vice versa. But when I merge the mobile DB, the new data is not downloaded? Tried re-running snapshot, etc., no change.

Question: I thought the filters would remain dynamic and be applied on each sync?

I run a 'harmless' update on parent table using TSQL e.g. "update table set 'X' = 'X'" and re-sync. Now the new parent records are downloaded - but the child records are not!

Question: I wonder why if parent records are supplied, why not child records?

If I delete existing DB and sync new, I get the updated snapshot and all is well - until more data added back at server...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible (or not) to have dynamic filters run during second or subsequent merge?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Add Inline TVF With Dynamic Columns From CRL Dynamic Pivot

Mar 9, 2015

I have tried building an Inline TVF, as I assume this is how it would be used on the DB; however, I am receiving the following error on my code, I must be missing a step somewhere, as I've never done this before. I'm lost on how to implement this clr function on my db?

Error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure clrDynamicPivot, Line 18
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'external'.
CREATE FUNCTION clrDynamicPivot

Client Side Cursor Vs Sever Side Cursor?

Jul 20, 2005

I having a difficult time here trying to figure out what to do here.I need a way to scroll through a recordset and display the resultswith both forward and backward movement on a web page(PHP usingADO/COM)..I know that if I use a client side cursor all the records get shovedto the client everytime that stored procedure is executed..if thisdatabase grows big wont that be an issue?..I know that I can set up a server side cursor that will only send therecord I need to the front end but..Ive been reading around and a lot of people have been saying never touse a server side cursor because of peformance issues.So i guess im weighing network performance needs with the client sidecursor vs server performance with the server side cursor..I am reallyconfused..which one should I use?-Jim

Mixing Dynamic SQL With Non-Dynamic In Stored Proc

Mar 24, 2007

I have a Stored Procedure for processing a Bill of Material.

One column on the Assembly Table is a Function Name that contains some busniess rules.

OK, now I'm doing a Proof of Concept and I'm stumped.

Huuuuh!

I will ultimately have about 100 of these things. My plan was using Dynamic SQL to go execute the function.

Note: The function just returns a bit.

So; here's what I had in mind ...

if isnull(@FnNameYN,'') <> ''
exec spinb_CheckYN @FnNameYN, @InvLineID, @FnBit = @FnBit output




CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spinb_CheckYN
@FnNameYN varchar(50),
@InvLineID int,
@FnBit bit output
AS

declare @SQL varchar(8000)

set @SQL = '
if dbo.' + @FnNameYN + ' (' + convert(varchar(31),@InvLineID) + ')) = 1
set @FnBit = 1
else
set @FnBit = 0'

exec (@SQL)
GO



Obviously; @FnBit is not defined in @SQL so that execution will not work.
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Must declare the variable '@FnBit'.
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Must declare the variable '@FnBit'.


So; is there a way to get a value out of a Dynamic SQL piece of code and get that value INTO my OUTPUT variable?


My many thanks to anyone who can solve this riddle for me.
Thank You!


Sigh: For now, it looks like I'll have a huge string of "IF" statements for each business rule function, as follows:
Hopefully a better solution comes to light.

------ Vertical Build1 - Std Vanes -----------
if @FnNameYN = 'fnb_YN_B1_14'
BEGIN
if dbo.fnb_YN_B1_14 (convert(varchar(31),@InvLineID) ) = 1
set @FnBit = 1
else
set @FnBit = 0
END

------ Vertical Build1 - Scissor Vanes -----------
if @FnNameYN = 'fnb_YN_B1_15'
BEGIN
if dbo.fnb_YN_B1_15 (convert(varchar(31),@InvLineID) ) = 1
set @FnBit = 1
else
set @FnBit = 0
END
.
.
.
etc.

Dynamic Source And Dynamic Destination

Apr 15, 2008

I have a requirment which i have partly accomplished , but could not get through completely

i have a file which comes in a standard format ending with date and seq number ,

suppose , the file name is abc_yyyymmdd_01 , for first copy , if it is copied more then once the sequence number changes to 02 and 03 and keep going on .

then i need to transform those in to new file comma delimited destination file with a name abc_yyyymmdd,txt and others counting file counting record abc_count_yyyymmdd.txt. and move it to a designated folder. and the source file is then moved to archived folder


what i have taken apprach is

script task select source file --------------------> data flow task------------------------------------------> script task to destination file

dataflow task -------------------------> does count and copy in delimited format



what is happening here is i can accomlish a regular source file convert it to delimited destination file --------> and move it to destination folder with script task .

but cannot work the dynamic pick of a source file.


please advise with your comments or solution you have

Dynamic Columns For Dynamic SQL

Mar 9, 2007

I have created a dynamic SQL program that returns a range of columns (1 -12) based on the date range the user may select. Each dynamic column is month based, however, the date range may overlap from one year to another. Thus, the beginning month for one selection may be October 2005, while another may have the beginning month of January 2007.

Basically, the dynamic SQL is a derived Pivot table. The problem that I need to resolve is how do I now use this dynamic result set in a Report. Please keep in mind that the name of the columns change based on the date range select.

I have come to understand that a dynamic anything is a moving target!



Please advise.

Need Help With A Cursor

Jul 25, 2006

I hope this is the appropriate forum for this question, if not then I apologize.
I've got a SQL Server 2000 stored procedure that returns data to be used in a crystal report in Visual Studio 2005.  Most of the stored procedure works well, but there is a point where I need to calculate an average number of days been a group of date pairs. 
I'm not familiar with cursors, but I think that I will need to use one to achieve the result I am looking for so I came up with the code below which is a snippet from my stored procedure.  In this part of the code, the sp looks at the temporary table #lmreport (which holds all of the data that is returned at the end to crystal) and for every row in the table where the terrid is 'T' (the territory is domestic), it selects all of those territories from the territory table and loops through them to determine the date averages (by calling a nested stored procedure, also included below) for each territory and then updates #lmreport with that data.
When I try to run the stored procedure, I get "The column prefix '#lmreport' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query." on the line indicated. 
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong or if this will even work the way I need it to?
Thank you in advance.
