EXEC Statement
Aug 1, 2007
Hi, I am facing a problem here. I am trying to make a stored procedure which accepts an input. The input is a table name within the database. The procedure itself then will make an after update trigger for the table. The purpose of making this stored procedure is because the table keeps changing (columns can be added or deleted) and I don't want to make the trigger manually everytime the table changes, instead I want to execute the stored procedure by passing the table's name and the procedure will create the trigger for me. The problem is sql server 2005 has limited the length of any variable to 8000. The create trigger statement can be longer than that. So using a variable to store the create trigger statement and then executing that variable is not an option. That is why I have inserted the statement to be executed into a column in a temp table. Now how do I execute that statement? I have tried this:
EXEC(SELECT QRY FROM temp_Update)
Qry is the column name which holds the create trigger statement. temp_Update is the temporary table. But if I run it, it will give this error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 123Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'SELECT'.Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 123Incorrect syntax near ')'.
Can anybody tell me how to execute a query which is place in a column in a table? If we can't do this, then what is the workaround, maybe how to have a variable that can hold more than 8000 characters? Any suggestion is greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi Guys, I have been trying to get this SQL string below to run, but for some reason I carry on getting an error near the EXEC Statements.
Does anyone have any idea what I doing wrong?

I have this code in a stored procedure: DECLARE @SQLString VarChar(200)
SET @SQLString = 'SELECT ' + @LookupField + ' FROM ' + @DBTable + ' WHERE (' + @IDField + ' = ''' + @IDValue + ''')'
Exec (@SQLString)
it works fine - with just one issue - I must grant select permission on the table.
Is there a way to do this WITHOUT granting the select permissions?

Hello,
I need to get the count into a local variable:
Select @SQL = 'Select ' + @TotalRowCount + ' = Count(*) )' + ' From ' + @TableName + ' Where ' + @WhereClause
Exec(@SQL)
It complains about ‘…. Integer…’, but even if I use a varchar parm and convert Count to varchar in the sql statement, it still does not work. It does not like the = , or so it says.
Any help greatly appreciated,
Judith

Hi!
Is it possible to call proc with parameter in openrowset?:
declare @str varchar(100);
select @str = 'EXEC SP_HELPTEXT ''createReport''';
select * from
OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI','Server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;', @str)
AS a;
Incorrect syntax near '@str'.
------------------
select * from
OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI','Server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;', 'EXEC
SP_HELPTEXT ''createReport''') AS a;
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot process the object "EXEC SP_HELPTEXT 'createReport'". The OLE
DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(null)" indicates that either
the object has no columns or the current user does not have
permissions on that object.
Best regards

I have a trigger on a table. I am trying to dynamically log thechanged fields on the table to another table, so I am iteratingthrough the bits in COLUMNS_UPDATED() to find what's changed, andgetting the column name programatically. This is all working fine.If I do a regular insert command in my trigger then everything worksfine. However, since I want to retrieve data from the column namewhich I got programatically from the inserted and deleted tables (toget the old and new values) I wanted to do something like this:insert into auditTransactionLog (TableName,PrimaryKeyId,ColumnName,OldValue, NewValue, ActionType) EXEC( 'SELECT(''cmContactInfo''), I.contactID,'''+ @colname+''', D.'+@colname+',I.'+@colname+', '+@action+' FROM inserted I INNER JOIN Deleted D onI.ContactId = D.ContactId')The presence of this line of code appears to be preventing theupdating of the table with the trigger. Is there some reason why Ican't do the EXEC in the trigger? If I did it without EXEC it worksfine but I have no idea of getting at the D. and I. @colname columnsotherwise.Thanks for any help!Rebecca

Hi
I've used a temporary table in the stored procedure
I've created it as DECLARE @Temp TABLE (id INT)
in select clause I've used this temp table through the joins..
But I've also used a varchar variable to store my criteria...
which I'm building in the stored procedure
so inorder to use it in the where clause I used
EXEC ('SELECT ....................
FROM @Temp T
LEFT OUTER JOIN ...
LEFT OUTER JOIN ...
WHERE ' + @Criteria )
Unfortunately this is not working.
Giving the errror
Must declare the variable '@TempT'.
I had to use Temporary table using #, which I feel is really waste of memory...
Is there a way by which I can use my Table variable in the EXEC statement.
Thanks In advance

Hi,
I have written a stored proc to bulk insert the data from a data file.
I have a requirement that i need to insert the data into a table of which the name is not known. I mean to say that the table name will be passed as a parameter to the stored proc. And also i need to insert the date that will also be passed as the parameter to the stored proc
The follwing statement works fine if i give the table name directly in the query
Code Snippet
DECLARE @LastUpdate varchar(20)
SET @LastUpdate = 'Dec 11 2007 1:20AM'
INSERT INTO Category
SELECT MSISDN, @LastUpdate FROM OPENROWSET( BULK '\remotemachinedatafile.txt',
FORMATFILE = '\remotemachineFormatFile.fmt',
FIRSTROW = 2) AS a
To satisfy my requirement ( i.e passing the table name dynamically , and the date) , i have formed the query string ( exact one as above ) and passing it to EXEC statement. But its failing as explained below
Code Snippet
@Category - Will be passed as a parameter to the stored proc
DECLARE @vsBulkSQL VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @LastUpdate varchar(20)
SET @LastUpdate = 'Dec 11 2007 1:20AM'
SELECT @vsBulkSQL ='INSERT INTO '+ @Category + ' SELECT MSISDN, ''' + @LastUpdate +''' FROM OPENROWSET ' + '( BULK ' + '''' + '\remotemachinedatafile.txt'+ ''''+ ' ,' +
+ ' FORMATFILE ' + '=' + ''''+ '\remotemachineFormatFile.fmt'+ ''''+ ',' +
' FIRSTROW ' + '=' + '2' + ')' + ' AS a'
Print @vsBulkSQL - This prints the folliwing statement
INSERT INTO Category SELECT MSISDN, 'Dec 11 2007 1:20AM' FROM OPENROWSET ( BULK '\remotemachineDataFile.txt' , FORMATFILE ='\remotemachineFormatFile.fmt', FIRSTROW =2) AS a
Exec @vsBulkSQL - This statement gives the following error
The name 'INSERT INTO Sports SELECT MSISDN, 'Dec 11 2007 1:20AM' FROM OPENROWSET ( BULK '\remotemachineSecond.txt' , FORMATFILE ='\remotemachineFormatFile.fmt', FIRSTROW =2) AS a' is not a valid identifier.
Can any one please point out where am i doing wrong? Or do i need to do anything else to achive the same

How do I use a @variable to hold on value return from an exec ('string command') statement.
Example for:
declare @OldID int
declare @cmd varchar(255)
declare @db varchar(25)
declare @OldOwner varchar(25)
set @db = 'DBNAME'
set @OldOwner = 'USERNAME'
select @cmd = 'select uid from ' + ltrim(rtrim(@db))'..sysusers where name = ' + "'" + ltrim(rtrim(@OldOwner)) + "'"
exec (@cmd)
How can I use @OldID to hold on UID return from this statement.
When I try use:
select @cmd = 'select @OldID = uid from ' + ltrim(rtrim(@db))'..sysusers where name = ' + "'" + ltrim(rtrim(@OldOwner)) + "'"
then I'm getting a error message: @OldID not declare.
Thanks.

Following is the stored procedure iam trying to create.Here i am trying to
First create a table with the table name passed as parameter
Second I am executing a dynamic sql statement ("SELECT @sql= 'Select * from table") that returns some rows.
Third I want to save the rows returned by the dynamic sql statement ("SELECT @sql= 'Select * from table") in the tablei created above.All the columns and datatypes are matching.
This table would be further used with cursor.
Now i am getting a syntax error on the last line.Though i doubt whether the last 3 lines will execute properly.Infact how to execute a sp_executesql procedure in another dynamic sql statement.ANy suggestions will be appreciated.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_try]

Greeting.
I use OdbcConnection inside clr procedure, for getting data. If I use simple EXEC dbo.clr_proc - all is OK. If I use INSERT...EXEC I recive error message: Distributed transaction enlistment failed.
I set MSDTC security options for No Authentification and Allow inbound and Allow outbound, but it's no use.
Have this problem solution? May be, I must use another method to get my data?
P.S. Linked Servers and OPENQUERY is not applicable. Sybase not describe columns in stored proc result set and one stored proc may return different result set by params.
P.S.S. Sorry for bad english.

I need help understanding the syntax of the "exec sql" statement.
i am looking at code that build an sql string such as
sql="exec SOMETHING Session("id")"
or something like that.
then, there is
conn.execute(sql)
My question is the "SOMETHING" in the sql statement...is what? I know it is user defined (object or variable or such), but what exactly is it? i look through the rest of the code and don;'t see SOMETHING defined elsewhere.
i am not sure if i am asking the question right. i don't understand what the SOMETHING is doing, or why it is there.
in particular, the code i am examining is
sql="exec SurveyDelete "&"'" & Session("StudentID") & " ' "
conn.execute(sql)
i understand the this statement will delete a record, but how does it handle "SurveyDelete", how does it know what the is when it is not defined anywhere else in the code?

Hi,
I have a written a SP to do indexdefrag to all user table indexes in a databases...I had to use dynamic sql so I can reuse this code for any DB...
declare @strsql varchar(500)
set @strsql = ' dbcc indexdefrag('+'''DBName'''+',554556545,3)'
exec (@strsql)
When I execute the above script, I immeaditely see the results in the query analyser like below:
Pages Scanned Pages Moved Pages Removed
------------- ----------- -------------
3 0 0
Looks like the indexdefrag did not happen since the logical fragmentation is still a high number like 30%.....
Just wondering whats goin on..

is it possible to have a sproc with a input parm of a column name and have this column name be inserted into an exec statement that runs and provides the output as a OUTPUT parm instead of a result set?
i can get the sproc to take the column name as a parm, run the exec, but cannot figure out how to assign the "dynamic sql" output to a OUTPUT variable instead of returning the result set.
