Forwarding Variable Number Of Parameters From VB.2005 To Sql Server 2005 Stored Procedure
Jan 15, 2008
I have a problem regarding forwarding 'n number of parameters' from Visual Studio 2005 using VB to SQL-Server 2005 stored procedure.I have to save N number of rows in my stored procedure as a transaction. If all rows are not saved successfully, I have to roll-back else update some other table also after that. I am unable to handle - How to send variable number of parameters from Visual Stduio to Sql - Server ? My requirement is to use the SQL-Stored Procedure to store all the rows in the base table and related tables and then update one another table based on the updations done. Please Help .....
Hi, I have a repeater control which I populate with search results from SQL Server.
But I can't figure out how to cope with users who submit multiple search items and still use my stored procedure. Is this possible or do you have to build the query with a StringBuilder and execute it manually?
I am fairly new to MSSQL. Looking for a answer to a simple question.
I have a application which passes in lot of stuff from the UI into a stored procedure that has to be inserted into a MSSQL 2005 database. All the information that is passed will be spilt into 4 inserts hitting 4 seperate tables. All 4 inserts will be part of a stored procedure that have to be in one TRANSACTION. All but one insert are straight forward.
The structure of this table is something like
PKID customerID email address .....
customerID is not unique and can have n email addresses passed in. Each entry into this table when inserted into, will be passed n addresses (The number of email addresses passed is controlled by the user. It can be from 1..n). Constructing dynamic SQL is not an option. The SP to insert all the data is already in place. Typically I would just create the SP with IN parameters that I will use to insert into tables. In this case I can't do that since the number of email addresses passed is dynamic. My question is what's the best way to design this SP, where n email addresses are passed and each of them will have to be passed into a seperate insert statement? I can think of two ways to this...
Is there a way to create a variable length array as a IN parameter to capture the n email addresses coming in and use them to construct multiple insert statements?
Is it possible to get all the n email addresses as a comma seperated string? I know this is possible, but I am not sure how to parse this string and capture the n email addresses into variables before I construct them into insert statements.
I created a stored procedure (see snippet below) and the owner is "dbo". I created a data connection (slcbathena.SLCPrint.AdamsK) using Windows authentication. I added a new datasource to my application in VS 2005 which created a dataset (slcprintDataSet.xsd). I opened up the dataset in Designer so I could get to the table adapter. I selected the table adapter and went to the properties panel. I changed the DeleteCommand as follows: CommandType = StoredProcedure; CommandText = usp_OpConDeleteDirectory. When I clicked on the Parameters Collection to pull up the Parameters Collection Editor, there was no parameters listed to edit even though there is one defined in the stored procedure. Why?
If I create the stored procedure as "AdamsK.usp_OpConDeleteDirectory", the parameters show up correctly in the Parameters Collection Editor. Is there a relationship between the owner name of the stored procedure and the data connection name? If so, how can I create a data connection that uses "dbo" instead of "AdamsK" so I can use the stored procedure under owner "dbo"?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi all, From the "How to Call a Parameterized Stored Procedure by Using ADO.NET and Visual Basic.NET" in http://support.microsft.com/kb/308049, I copied the following code to a project "pubsTestProc1.vb" of my VB 2005 Express Windows Application:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data.SqlDbType
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim PubsConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;integrated security=sspi;" & "initial Catalog=pubs;")
Dim testCMD As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("TestProcedure", PubsConn)
testCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim RetValue As SqlParameter = testCMD.Parameters.Add("RetValue", SqlDbType.Int)
Console.WriteLine("Number of Records: " & (NumTitles.Value))
End Sub
End Class
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The original article uses the code statements in pink for the Console Applcation of VB.NET. I do not know how to print out the output of ("Book Titles for this Author:"), ("{0}", myReader.GetString(2)), ("Return Value: " & (RetValue.Value)) and ("Number of Records: " & (NumTitles.Value)) in the Windows Application Form1 of my VB 2005 Express. Please help and advise.
I have received a change request for a project i am working on which im unsure if possible or not.
at the minute i have a very simple sp that simply selects data from a table by passing in one parameter
CREATE PROCEDURE PHAR_SelectGrade
@int_ID int
AS
SELECT GradeID as ID, Grade as Description, RequiresText, SendEmail, Timestamp FROM tbl8Grade WHERE Obsolete=0 AND GradeID = @int_ID ORDER BY Grade
the user now wants the option to select more than one grade type (there are 100's of different grades)
so they might decide they want to see details for 2 grades, 22 grades etc. these would be selected and stored in an array (via an asp.net project) and then the stored procedure is called from within a web service
my question is how would i pass this array into the stored procedure??
i am assuming i would need to do something as follows for sp syntax, but im stumped on how i pass my array of values into the sp from the webservice and then for the sp to read the array in SQL??
CREATE PROCEDURE PHAR_SelectGrade
@myArray <what datatype?>
AS
SELECT GradeID as ID, Grade as Description, RequiresText, SendEmail, Timestamp FROM tbl8Grade WHERE Obsolete=0 AND GradeID IN (@myArray) ORDER BY Grade
any ideas are greatly appreciated. or maybe its just not possible?!?
In a Database "AP" of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE), I have a stored procedure "spInvTotal3":
CREATE PROC [dbo].[spInvTotal3]
@InvTotal money OUTPUT,
@DateVar smalldatetime = NULL,
@VendorVar varchar(40) = '%'
This stored procedure "spInvTotal3" worked nicely and I got the Results: My Invoice Total = $2,211.01 in my SSMSE by using either of 2 sets of the following EXEC code: (1) USE AP GO --Code that passes the parameters by position DECLARE @MyInvTotal money EXEC spInvTotal3 @MyInvTotal OUTPUT, '2006-06-01', 'P%' PRINT 'My Invoice Total = $' + CONVERT(varchar,@MyInvTotal,1) GO (2) USE AP GO DECLARE @InvTotal as money EXEC spInvTotal3 @InvTotal = @InvTotal OUTPUT, @DateVar = '2006-06-01', @VendorVar = '%' SELECT @InvTotal GO //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Now, I want to print out the result of @InvTotal OUTPUT in the Windows Application of my ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming. I have created a project "spInvTotal.vb" in my VB 2005 Express with the following code:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data.SqlTypes
Public Class Form1
Public Sub printMyInvTotal()
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=AP; Integrated Security=SSPI;"
Dim conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)
Try
conn.Open()
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
cmd.Connection = conn
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.CommandText = "[dbo].[spInvTotal3]"
Dim param As New SqlParameter("@InvTotal", SqlDbType.Money)
param.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
cmd.Parameters.Add(param)
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
'Print out the InvTotal in TextBox1
TextBox1.Text = param.Value
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
Throw
Finally
conn.Close()
End Try
End Sub
End Class ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I executed the above code and I got no errors, no warnings and no output in the TextBox1 for the result of "InvTotal"!!?? I have 4 questions to ask for solving the problems in this project: #1 Question: I do not know how to do the "DataBinding" for "Name" in the "Text.Box1". How can I do it? #2 Question: Did I set the CommandType property of the command object to CommandType.StoredProcedure correctly? #3 Question: How can I define the 1 output parameter (@InvTotal) and 2 input parameters (@DateVar and @VendorVar), add them to the Parameters Collection of the command object, and set their values before I execute the command? #4 Question: If I miss anything in print out the result for this project, what do I miss?
Problem about pass a big string (over 8000 characters) to a variable nvarchar(max) in stored procedure in SQL 2005! I know that SQL 2005 define a new field nvarchar(max) which can stored 2G size string. I have made a stored procedure Hellocw_ImportBookmark, but when I pass a big string to @Insertcontent , the stored procedure can't be launch! why? create procedure Hellocw_ImportBookmark @userId varchar(80), @FolderId varchar(80), @Insertcontent nvarchar(max) as declare @contentsql nvarchar(max); set @contentsql=N'update cw_bookmark set Bookmark.modify(''declare namespace x="http://www.hellocw.com/onlinebookmark"; insert '+ @Insertcontent+' as last into (//x:Folder[@Id="'+@FolderId+'"])[1]'') where userId='''+@userID+''''; exec sp_executesql @contentsql;
as declare @contentsql nvarchar(max); set @contentsql=N'update cw_bookmark set Bookmark.modify(''declare namespace x="http://www.hellocw.com/onlinebookmark"; insert '+ @Insertcontent+' as last into (//x:Folder[@Id="'+@FolderId+'"])[1]'') where userId='''+@userID+''''; exec sp_executesql @contentsql;
I have a web page which passes back parameters to a stored procedure. From the web page the user selects different clauses for the 'where' criteria. Based upon the number of clause items in the parameters sent back, a select statement is built and executed. In the stored procedure I have many if statements to chose the correct sql statement. As the no of clauses in the where statement can vary, it can become messy script. Has anyone dealt with this scenario. What is the best strategy ?
A simple illustation of this is as follows A statement with two clauses :-
Select * from Sales where user = 'John' and country = 'England' A statement with three clauses :- Select * from Sales where user = 'John' and country = 'England' and County = 'Staffordshire'
The stored procedure would except three parameters and would build a string based on the number of actual where clases sent back
Can a Sql Server SP have variable number of arguments??? If yes, can somebody point me to a resource demonstrating that??? I need to send variable number of arguments to some of my SPs & iterate them with either foreach or traditional for loop. Any support would be greatly appreciated.
If variable number of arguments are not feasible, then can I pass them as an array to the SP (again a Sample code would be desirable)???
Hi, I want to get data from Oracle 10g Stored procedure to Reporting Services 2005. I could pass a SQL text and get a record set, but I want to execute a store proc and get the record set.
1. Add New Data Source 2. Choose Type : Oracle and connection tested OK 3. { call Test_Package.Test_Procedure(?) } is it wrong... how to write??? There is an error in the query. ORA-00911: invalid character
Also make sure that you use the text-based generic query designer (2 panes !) instead of the visual query designer (4 panes) - you can switch between them through an icon on the toolbar in the data view of report designer. Question : I tried many methods but unable to solve it...
create or replace PACKAGE Test_Package AS TYPE Test_Type IS REF CURSOR RETURN Test_Table%ROWTYPE; END Test_Package;
create or replace PROCEDURE Test_Procedure ( Test_Cursor IN OUT Test_Package.Test_Type, Test_Parameter IN Test_Table.ID%TYPE ) AS BEGIN OPEN Test_Cursor FOR SELECT * FROM Test_Table WHERE Test_Table.ID >= Test_Parameter; END Test_Procedure;
The below site gave some example but i could not solve it... any suggestions greatly appreciated...
I create a new stored procedure in SQL SERVER 2005 .It it is stored in " C:Documents and SettingsmmmMy DocumentsSQL Server Management Studio ExpressProjects" as (some_name).sql .it takes this links by default . Then I exeecute it with this command
"exec InsertValueIntoTable ;" BUT when i want to execute with clicking the execute button in the then gives an error "Could not find stored procedure 'InsertValueIntoTable'."
select * from posts where id = @id and author =@author and message like @keyword
in my case a user can choose to search by one or more of this elements.
what will be the best approach to write a statement that will account for the posibility of the user leaving some "parameters" empty, while also allowing for the posibility that all parameters could be filled
one approach I have thought out is this
if (@id IS NOT null) select * from posts where id = @id
if (@author IS NOT null) select * from posts where author= @author
if (@keyword IS NOT null) select * from posts where keyword = (@keyword
but this does not really take care of the posibility that all of them or some of them will be null while others will not
Hi, I am working on an application in ASP.NET 1.1 and SQL Server 2005 as database.I wanted to use SQLCLR feature of SQL Server 2005. Is it possible that i write Stored Procedures in C# 1.1 and deploy on SQL Server 2005? as it is in case of C# 2.0. Please refer some good tutorial for it. Regards,Imran Ghani
Setup: I have a C# 2.0 class library that contains certain business logic that is to be triggered by certain database states. There is a trigger that calls a stored procedure that is working properly (i.e. the stored procedure is being executed). Problem: I have not yet figured out how to call the dll from the stored procedure. Does anybody have any tutorials they could point me to or any advice to point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello my friendsThis is my sql table structureFK = ID int, Empnaam varchar(200), PK = EmpID int With this table, where i insert values, employees can hire other employees. Now i want to see with a function in visual studio who hired who. I get stuck when a person hired more than 1 person....This is my stored procedure :set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROC [dbo].[ShowHierarchy] ( @Root int ) AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @EmpID int, @EmpNaam varchar(30) SET @EmpNaam = (SELECT EmpNaam FROM dbo.Emp WHERE EmpID = @Root) PRINT REPLICATE('-', @@NESTLEVEL * 4) + @EmpNaam SET @EmpID = (SELECT MIN(EmpID) FROM dbo.Emp WHERE ID = @Root) WHILE @EmpID IS NOT NULL BEGIN EXEC dbo.ShowHierarchy @EmpID SET @EmpID = (SELECT MIN(EmpID) FROM dbo.Emp WHERE ID = @Root AND EmpID > @EmpID) END END Thanks in advance!Grtz
I need to create either a trigger or stored procedure in SQL server 2005(hopefully someone can tell me).. Here is what I need to happen: I have a table with orders that are generated from a website. After the transaction is completed, I need have the record that was just created also copy to another table. There is a field called flag and the values in this field are either 1 or 2. Imediatly after the transaction occurs, I need the records where flag = 1 to copy to this other table. How would I go about doing this?
I need to run a SQL Server 2005 stored procedure by pressing a command button in excel 2003. Basically, I want stored procedures run from Excel to get the view/queries from sql.
Searched and tried many solutions here and in other web resources, read about opening the datasource, but I cannot find the exact solution for my problem.
Yes it looks like a stupid question but when i right click stored procedures and click new stored procedure, it gives me a QRY analyzer style window and all i can do is save the qry as a regular .qry file ?
I have generated a DLL file in VC++ 2005 by a 'C' file. It works fine when I put in a 32bits machine(32bits Windows Server 2003 + 32 bits SQL Server 2005).
However, when I build it into 64 bits, it doesn't work in a 64 bits machine. I have checked by Dependenct Walker, the DLL generated is linked with KERNEL32.DLL / OPENDS60.DLL / MSVCR80D.DLL, all of these DLL files are on the 64 bits machines and linked correctly.

More Information for you to know: I have the "ssmsExpressDB" database in the Database Expolorer of VB 2005 Express. But I do not know how to get the SqlConnection and the SqlDataAdapter into the Form1. I do not know how to get the Fill Method implemented properly. I try to learn "Working with SELECT Statement in a Stored Procedure" for printing the 6 rows that are selected - they are not parameterized.
I have in the past created stored procedures using SQL Server 2000. It was easy to do. Now I am using SQL Server 2005 and the whole process is different and confusing to me. I performed the following steps to create a stored procedure: 1.) In SQL Server management studio, I wen to the folder named "Stored Procedures"2.) I right clicked on this folder and selected "New Stored Procedure..."3.) A generic sql server stored procedure is created for me.4.) I modify the stored procedure and now want to save it? Now where do I go from here? How should I properly save this new stored procedure and where should I save it?I noticed that a generic name is assigned such as SQLQuery13.sql, but I want to name it something else. I actually saved the new stored procedure but I can't see it listed under the "Stored Procedures" folder. I even tried doing a refresh.
I am working with one example on SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. I have a stored procedure with two parameters. I want to call this stored procedure from SQL Server Reporting Services 2005.
CREATE PROCEDURE spEmp ( @id int, @name varchar(150) ) AS BEGIN SELECT EmpId, EmpName, EmpSal FROM Emp WHERE EmpId = @id AND EmpName = @name END
I want to pass
@id AND @name
parameters from reporting services form. Can you please give me link / article / steps to follow this in SQL SERVER REPORTING SERVICES 2005 ?
I just created a stored procedure in SQL Server 2005 management studio. I went to my db and expanded the programmability folder then right clicked the stored procedures folder and created a stored procedure. I saved the procedure as sp_getDistance in the default folder SQL managment studio picked. Now when I went back to that stored procedure folder I did not see my stored procedure sp_getDistance, all that was there was the system stored procedure folder. Did I save the stored procedure in the wrong place, or what did I do wrong. I can't find the procedure anywhere, its just sitting in my My DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioProjectssp_getDistance.sql folder. Thanks,Kyle Spitzer
Hi, I m using sql 2005 as a back end in my application... I am useing Store procedure..for my data in grid..

Please Hel[p me !!! Thank you !!!
All -- Please help. I am using managed code in SQL Server 2005 and have a question about stored procedure name qualification. With a VS.NET 2005 Pro Database project, when I use >Build, >DeploySolution, it works great but my stored procedures are named with qualification using my domainusername.ProcName convention, something like this... XYZ_TECHKamoskiM.GetData ...when I want them to be named with the dbo.ProcName convention, something like this... dbo.GetData ...and I cannot see where this can be changed. Do you happen to know? Please advise. (BTW, I have tried going to this setting >Project, >Properties, >Database, >AssemblyOwner, and putting in the value "dbo" but that does not do what I want.) (BTW, as a workaround, I have simply scripted the procedures, so that I can drop them and then add them back with the right names-- but, that is a bit tedious and wasted effort, IMHO.) Thank you. -- Mark Kamoski
