Dynamic Statement In Variable - Parseerror
May 8, 2006
I am trying to use this statement in a variable, including another variable:
"SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE CAST([timestamp] AS INT) > " + @[User::LastTimestamp]
But the variable value insists on giving me this error:
The expression for variable "VariableName" failed evaluation. There was an error in the expression.
I cast the columntype "timestamp" to int, and the variable "LastTimestamp is stored as int32, and has a default value of 0. I simply can't grasp what it is I am missing.
Is it because the expression is part string and part integer? If so, how is that avoided?
Thanks in advance

Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

I've looked up Books Online on Dynamic Cursor/ Dynamic SQL Statement.
Using the examples given in Books Online returns compilation errors. See below.
Does anyone know how to use Dynamic Cursor/ Dynamic SQL Statement?

I am trying to set a vaiable from a select statement
DECLARE @VALUE_KEEP NVARCHAR(120),
@COLUMN_NAME NVARCHAR(120)
SET @COLUMN_NAME = (SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'CONTACTS' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'FIRSTNAME')
SET @VALUE_KEEP = (SELECT @COLUMN_NAME FROM CONTACTS WHERE CONTACT_ID = 3)
PRINT @VALUE_KEEP
PRINT @COLUMN_NAME
RESULTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FirstName <-----------@VALUE_KEEP
FirstName <-----------@COLUMN_NAME
SELECT @COLUMN_NAME FROM CONTACTS returns: FirstName
SELECT FirstName from Contacts returns: Brent
How do I make this select statement work using the @COLUMN_NAME variable?
Any help greatly appreciated!

In the old DTS package, we can use Active-x script to set the variable value:
DTSGlobalVariables("MessageData").Value = "This is a test"
How do we do the same thing on the SSIS?
I am under the "control Flow" tab.
Thanks.

Hi guys
I have a trigger which retrieves database names from a table.
I need to use this retrieved database name in another sql insert statement as a variable
e.g. set @mydbname = Select .... from.. (to get the database name)
then..
insert into @mydbname.dbo.emplTable
At the moment it reads @mydbname as the string "@mydbname" not the value the variable holds
I need the database name as a variable because i have to write to the correct database (there are 15)
Any help appreciated

Hi,
I've a roblem with table variables in dynamic sql context.
If i use it with normal sql there is of course no problem.
Simplified it looks like this:
-- Standard SQL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECLARE @TestTable as TABLE(MyBigInt bigint NOT NULL, Myint int NOT NULL);
INSERT @TestTable SELECT 4711,10
SELECT* FROM @TestTable
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If i do the same thing in dynamic sql, i get errors.
-- Dynamic SQL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECLARE @DynamicTestTable as Table(MyBigInt bigint NOT NULL, Myint int NOT NULL);
DECLARE @SQLString as nvarchar(max), @Parameters as nvarchar(2000);
SET @Parameters = N'@DynamicTestTableOUT as Table(MyBigInt bigint NOT NULL, Myint int NOT NULL) OUTPUT';
SET @SQLString= N'INSERT @DynamicTestTableOUT SELECT 4711,10';
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLString, @Parameters, @DynamicTestTableOUT = @DynamicTestTable OUTPUT ;
SELECT* FROM @DynamicTestTable;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is wrong with tis code? Or are table variables not supported inside dynamic SQL?
Thanks in advance

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.

Declare @l_str varchar(50),
@l_count int
Select @l_count = 1
Select @l_str = 'Week' + Convert(varchar, @l_count)
Now how do I compare the value stored in the @l_str which should be wither 0 or 1 and not 'Week1'?
Is there any better method to compare read these 52 table variables?

Is it possible in SQL 2000 to return a table variable from dynamic sql? We need to have some code that looks kind of like this:
declare @qry varchar(8000)
declare @sourcetable varchar(100) -- name of source table
declare @mytable table (ID_Num int identity(1,1), Child_Key varchar(100))
set @sourcetable = (select tablename from tblConfig where app = 1)
set @qry = 'insert into @mytable
select * from @sourcetable'
execute (@qry)
if (select count(*) from @mytable) > 0
begin
'insert into myFinalTable
select * from @mytable where blah blah blah
I can get the first part to work by declaring the table variable (mytable) in the dynamic sql, but I can't figure out how to return the table object.

Any idea how to get the entire database name to be used with spaces in the database name. It prints the @DatabaseName just fine, but in the dynamic sql, it truncates after the first space.
I already tried N'my new db test' in the set statement. That didn't work. I tried using NVARCHAR when declaring the variable.
Let me know as soon as you can. Thanks!!

Ok, so I have this stored procedure that Inserts a record and I need to return the ID inserted to pass to another procedure. I ended up having to use sp_executesql because I need to dynamically add the schema to the table. The issue that I am having is that the variable that I try to pass to the other procedure always ends up null, but it shows the correct output. Just to clarify on this, i am an Applications developer and not a DBA so I may be going about this all wrong. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I'm new to MS SQL and trying to write a very small dynamic stored procedure which is giving me a headache.
What I have is:
CREATE PROCEDURE busy_report
@TableName varchar(255),
@reporteddate datetime=NULL
AS
if @reporteddate is null
select @reporteddate = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
-- Create a variable @SQLStatement
DECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(255)
SET DATEFORMAT dmy
-- Enter the dynamic SQL statement into the
-- variable @SQLStatement
SELECT @SQLStatement = "SELECT vendor, reporteddate, count(vendor) FROM " +
@TableName + "WHERE reporteddate = ' "
+ @reporteddate + " '"
-- Execute the SQL statement
EXEC(@SQLStatement)
GO
The error I keep getting is:
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 4, Procedure busy_report, Line 0
Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
Any ideas appreciated.
(Edit:)
I've also tried it this way:
CREATE PROCEDURE UK_busy_report
@TableName varchar(255),
@reporteddate datetime=NULL
AS
-- Create a variable @SQLStatement
DECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(255)
SELECT @reporteddate=CONVERT(datetime, @reporteddate)
IF @@ERROR <> 0 BEGIN
/* Do some error processing */
PRINT 'Error Occured' END
ELSE
-- Enter the dynamic SQL statement into the
-- variable @SQLStatement
SELECT @SQLStatement = "SELECT vendor, reporteddate, count(vendor) FROM " +
@TableName + "WHERE reporteddate = ' "
+ @reporteddate + " '"
-- Execute the SQL statement
EXEC(@SQLStatement)
GO
Which gives me the same error!

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?

HiI'm grateful for any light you can shed on this!!I've to admit, it's an unusual design but I've multiple contact tables namede.g. i2b_ash_contact or i2b_ted_contact.'i2b_' and '_contact' are static but the middle part is dynamic.Storing all contacts in one table with an identifier of e.g. 'ash' or 'ted'for each record is not possible.Returning the value from the dynamic Query is no problem but I don't knowhow to assign it to a variable.When I try doing this it either runs into problems with evaluating thevariables or doesn't retuen anything at all e.g. if I say at the end 'Print@AddressID'. The variable remains empty.How can I do something like:DECLARE@AddressID int,@ProgClient (varchar(10),@Table varchar(10)Note: @Prog is a string e.g. 'ash' or 'ted'SET @Table = 'i2b_ + @ProgClient + '_contactSET @AddressID = (SELECT AddressID FROM @Table WHERE ContactID = @ContactID)

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. Â It looks like it doesn't recognize DECLARE keyword as it does with SQL queries. Â I just want a query that runs directly against the server.Â

I am trying to use the idea as mentioned by Jamie at:
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/09/2480.aspx
which is to build dynamic SQL using a variable evaluated as an expression.
Set Expression="SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyColumn = " + @[VariableContainingFilterValue]
Everything works fine. The entire package works.
My next step is to log the variable so that I know, after package execution, exactly what SQL statement the package is executing.
I tried to do it by a couple of ways in a Script task:
1) Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, String.Empty, String.Format("SQL: {0}", Dts.Variables("SourceSQL").Expression), String.Empty, 0, False)
Gives me just an expression without actually evaluating it
2) Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, String.Empty, String.Format("SQL: {0}", Dts.Variables("SourceSQL").Value), String.Empty, 0, False)
Produces an error:
The expression for variable €œSourceSQL€? failed evaluation. There was an error in the expression.

In one step of an SSIS package, i create an outgoing XLS filename based on the current datetime setting, a la:
"myFileName_" + (DT_WSTR,4)YEAR( getdate()) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)MONTH( getdate()),2)+
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DAY( getdate()),2) +
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("hh", getdate()),2) +
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mi", getdate()),2) +
RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("ss", getdate()),2) +".xls"
which provides the format as myFileName_yyyymmddhhmmss.xls.
This value is then assigned to a variable, user::myFilenameDateTime.
This variable is referred to in various steps which need the full pathname or filename.
I found, though, that in subsequent steps, the value for user::myFilenameDateTime is re-calculated whenever the variable is invoked.
So in one Task i created the physical output XLS file and named it "correctly", eg, myFileName_20070428090204.xls; in the next Task, i call a Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2005 to email the file with a corresponding message (that pulls in more data from the database).
The single Parameter to the Stored Procedure (that does the emailing) is the supposed/expected full Pathname of the outgoing file just produced but the parameter no longer represents the original filename -- and has changed slightly (a few seconds have been added) and the filename is now, myFileName_20070428090210.xls; consequently, my Email Distribution program cannot find the file with that specific name, although File = myFilename_20070428090204.xls does certainly exist.
so it appears that these variables are calculated realtime whenever encountered.
1) Am I misunderstanding something or misusing the variable assignment?
2) How can i keep << myFileName_yyyymmddhhmmss.xls >>, "static" throughout the duration of the overal SSIS Process.
3) I would think that even if I assign the derived myFileName value initially to ANOTHER "static" variable, this won't achieve anything because the new variable will be re-calculated again, as well, when it is invoked.

Hi:
Is there a way to assign a dynamic query result to a local variable?
declre @sqlString nvarchar(4000),
@minEventDate datetime,
@databaseName varchar(25)
selct @databaseName = 'customer_12345'
(actually, a cursor loop will assign the database name dynamically, here just to simplify the situation)
select @sqlString =
'select ' + @minEventDate + '= (select min(eventDate) from ' + @databaseName + '.dbo.tblABC)'
exec sql_executesql @sqlString
print '@minEventDate: ' + cast(@minEventDate as varchar(19))
Though the select min(eventDate) from customer_12345.dbo.tblABC
returns a date, ex. '02/01/2004 12:35 pm', however, the printed @minEventDate is always with Null value. It mean, the value was never correctly assigned to the local variable.
As an alternate way, I am using temp table to insert it with the query result and then assign to the local variable. Since I have many local variables to try to get the min, max, count for around 10 fields, perfer a way to direct assign to the local variable instead of 10 temp tables.
thanks

updating a recordset contained in an System.Object variable during runtime.
I am trying to execute multiple file actions (plus parsing those files into a set of staging tables) at separate locations in parallel. I know I can do this in C# but I have a business requirement to use SSIS for all ETL operations.
Any one site can have 0 to many of 1 to 3 files. I would like to run multiple sites at the same time, so when all files of all types are completed at that site then go on to the next site in the list. I know I can do a single site at a time in a foreach loop but if I can run lets say 3-5 sites concurrently then I should be able to save execution time.
My thought is to have a recordset of the sites, when any 1 of the 3 (or more) "control flows" is open, update the recordset to let it know that site being actioned, when that site is complete, update the recordset that the site is completed, and so on.Or am I running in the wrong direction?
