Function In Access Vs. Stored Procedures In SQL Server
Mar 7, 2001
I am used to working in Access and just recently became somewhate proficient using custom functions in modules.
I am trying to figure out what the equivalent of functions is in SQL Server. I mean, does a Stored Procedure in SQL Server replace a module in Access? Can you declare different functions in SQL Server like you can in Access?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, Can someone help me with this problem. I have a stored procedure in SQL Server that updates a particular table. When I run it in SQL server Query Analyser, it works fine. But I want to invoke this stored procedure when I click a button on an MS Access Form. The code I'm using is:
Dim cn, cmd Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") cn.Open "SQL" //Data Source Name Set cmd = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cn cmd.CommandText = "LoadApplicants" //Stored Procedure Name cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc cmd.Execute
for some reason only a few records are updated everytime I click on the button. Is there any reason why this is happening?
I have a database (SQL 2005) with two schemas (dbo and s1) and with tables defined in dbo and tables defined in s1. The stored procedures are also defined in both schemas, some of them in dbo some of them in s1. Some of the stored procedures query tables from dbo and s1 at the same time. I want to have a new db role with access to the database only through sps and no other access read/write to the tables. I created a new db role and granted execute permission to it and assigned a user to it. When I execute stored procedure defined in dbo with query against dbo tables, it works as expected. However, if I run stored procedure defined in s1 with query to table in dbo, I receive error about missing select permission for the table in dbo. I am not sure why, but I can assume there is an issue with the ownership chain. I can grand read/write permission for the tables, but this will break our original requirement for limited access to the db only through sp. The other option is to have another role r2, with read/write, privilege and to use EXECUTE AS r2 in the sp.
I would like to ask first why the error for missing select permission happens and is there another way to have role restricted to only execute permission for all stored procedures.
If I define a table-valued function in a SQL Server 2005 database, can I link to it from Access 2003 using ODBC?
I've defined the function successfully, and I can link from Access to tables in the database (so my ODBC link is basically functioning), but I can't see the table-valued function in the Linked Table Manager in Access.
I can define a pass-through query to grab the table, but with a pass-through query I have to provide the ODBC password every time.
Hi, l've created an function [GSM].[KPIAging], and test it in studio by substitule declare value, i.e. DECLARE @sCellName VARCHAR(8) DECLARE @dDate DATETIME SET @sCellName = "CELL1M_1" SET @dDate = CAST('06/Jun/2006' AS DATETIME)
EXEC GSM.KPIAging @sCellName, 'CSSR', @dDate
It work fine and return the desired result, but when l used this function in SQL, SELECT DATEKEY, CELLREGIONKEY, CELL_NAME, CELL_ID, CSSR, GSM.KPIAging(Cell_Name, 'CSSR', @dDate) FROM GSM.GSMCellDaily_vw WHERE CSSR BETWEEN 0 AND 85 AND FULLDATE = @dDate AND CM_SERV > 30 AND (TCH_TRAFFIC > 2 AND TCH_SEIZURES_ATTS > 30)
I got the following error, i.e. Msg 557, Level 16, State 2, Line 19Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function. Does anyone have any idea on this, and what's the workaround for this?
Hi, all I'm using Sql server 2000 I want to make select statement dynamically and return table using function. in sp, I've done this but, in function I don't know how to do so. (I have to create as function since our existing API..)
Following is my tials... 1. alter Function fnTest ( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime) RETURNS Table AS
RETURN Exec spTest @from, @to GO
Yes, it give syntax error..
2. So, I found the following
From Sql Server Books Online, Remark section of CREATE FUNCTION page of Transact-SQL Reference , it says following..
"The following statements are allowed in the body of a multi-statement function. Statements not in this list are not allowed in the body of a function: " ..... * EXECUTE statements calling an extended stored procedures.
So, I tried.
alter Function fnTest ( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime) RETURNS Table AS
RETURN Exec master..xp_msver GO
It doesn't work... syntax err...
Here I have quick question.. How to execute statements calling an extended stored procedures. any examples?
Now, I'm stuck.. how can I create dynamic select statement using function?
I have two database(MYDB1 , MYDB2) on two different server's(SERVER1 , SERVER2) . I want to create an store procedure in MYDB1 on SERVER1 and get some data from a table of MYDB2 on SERVER2. How can i do this?
i have created the folowing function but keep geting an error.
Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.
Why am i getting this error!
Create Function myDateAdd (@buildd nvarchar(4), @avdate as nvarchar(25)) Returns nvarchar(25) as Begin declare @ret nvarchar(25) declare @sqlval as nvarchar(3000)
set @sqlval = 'select ''@ret'' = max(realday) from ( select top '+ @buildd +' realday from v_caltable where realday >= '''+ @avdate +''' and prod = 1 )a'
How can I remove access to extended (xp_) stored procedures? Is there any revoke on <stored_procedure_name> ... command? How can I generate a script of all users who have execute privileges for these procedures? Also, is there any way of restricting (instead of removing) access to those procedures?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks, Alla
I'm going through the SQLSecurity Checklist I found at sqlsecurity.com. One of the points it says to "Restrict to sysadmins-only access to stored procedures and extended stored procedures that you believe could pose a threat." It also lists a bunch of stored procs and extended stored procs that you should consider restricting to sysadmins only. I was wondering if someone could give me some pointers on how to do this? I would like to write a script that I could run on every sql server 2000 install that would do this. How could I ensure that every user does not have access except the sysadmins?
I am working on a corporate project. I have many stored procedures(>100) and wanted to know which applications( or Frontends) in the network use or consume my stored procedures. How can i do that in SQL 2005??
Hi. I have set up an instance of SQL 2005 on my local computer. I use MS SQL Server Management Studio to login into my 2005 instance via Windows login. When I expand "Stored Procedures" under "Programmability" of the Database I want and go to a stored procedure and right click, I don't see the "properities" selection.
I know it's there because I can get to it on other instances but I can't get to it on my local instance. I added my windows user to my Logins and then to my database users but it didn't help.
Can anyone please tell me what I need to do so I can access the properties of the stored procedures?
I have a design problem which I am hoping somebody can shed some light on.
I am running SQL Server 2000 using SQL authenticaiton (due to be changed to Windows authentication in the next 6 months). I have a table in my database which we shall call monthly. I want to restrict the ability to insert to the monthly table to 2 stored procedures (proc_abc & proc_xy) which I have written which do various other validation checks before it inserts the data into monthly.
Users with the Foo function assigned are able to execute proc_abc & proc_xy
I have written a VB application which can be used by users who are not familiar with SQL to be able to execute these stored procedures. (Must have Foo function in order to login to this application).
I want to restrict the ability to execute the stored procedures to users using the VB application only, and thus not be able to execute the stored procedure using Query Analyzer or such like for any Foo user.
Is there anyway I can do this?
One suggestion put to me is two split the functions. Have one function lets call it Top which can access the VB application and then have another function called Bottom which is able to execute the stored procedures. Only the VB app would have access to the Bottom credentials. But is this secure? Would I just hard code the credentials for the Bottom function user within the VB app? This doesn's seem a secure way of doing things to me.
Can Microsoft Access access a stored procedure on the SQL Server? If not, is there any way to assign a parameter to a view? I can link to a view in Access, but I cannot link to a procedure. I need to SELECT * from aTable WHERE ID = [@PassidInID]. Any way to do this through Access? The reason for this, is because I am trying to run an existing query (which is very busy - using other queries with queries in them etc.), and I keep getting an ODBC error. I am thinking that if I move the queries to the SQL Server, it may get rid of this error? It's a 2-tier app I have. Tables on the server, forms, queries, and everything else in Access. Thanks in advance - I hope.
I want to know the differences between SQL Server 2000 storedprocedures and oracle stored procedures? Do they have differentsyntax? The concept should be the same that the stored proceduresexecute in the database server with better performance?Please advise good references for Oracle stored procedures also.thanks!!
I have read that it is possible to configure sql server express so that the database can only be accessed through stored procedures. Can anyone tell me how to do this. Many thanks.martin
Hi there, I have a database table with a field to specify the username of records that particular user is allowed to access (read only). I want to be certain the user does not have access to any other records. So I'm using a stored procedure to query the table with "WHERE dbuser = USER". My problem is that the stored procedure is returning an error that the table I'm querying cannot be found, and I suspect it is because the user does not have proper permissions to see those tables, even through the stored procedure. So my question is, how do I grant the user sufficient access for this stored procedure to work without outright granting them select permission on the tables? Much appreciated!
I have upsized a complex Access 97 application to SQL Server 7, and want to substantially preserve the user interface design by using an Access 2000 project (*.adp) as the front end.
Most of the original Access queries accepted their parameters from screen form objects, and this works well using SQL 7 stored procedures as form recordsources.
However, Access 2000 does not seem to provide a way to tell a listbox or combo box how to pass a parameter value from a screen form object to its SQL 7 stored procedure rowsource.
These parametized listboxes are critical to the interface design. Please help!!!
I know its a weird request, but we have created an application with sql server but our client wants a version which can be put onto disk.
We decided to create the stored procedures into queries, would this be the best idea and if so does anyone know if there is a freeware software that can do this or will I have to painstakingly re-create the queries?
There is a form in an Access Project (.adp, Access front end with SQLServer) for entering data into a table for temporary storing. Then, byclicking a botton, several action stored procedures (update, append) shouldbe activated in order to transfer data to other tables.I tried to avoid any coding in VB, as I am not a professional, but I havefound a statement in an article, that, unlike select queries, form's InputProperty can't be used for action queries. Therefore, parameters can bepassed to action stored procedure only by using ADO through VB.As I'm not very familiar with VB, I had to search in literature.So, this is a solution based on creating Parameter object in ADO and thenappending values to Parameter collection.Please, consider the following procedure I created for passing parametersfrom form's control objects (Text boxes) to a stored procedureDTKB_MB_UPDATE:Private Sub Command73_Click()Dim cmd As ADODB.CommandSet cmd = New ADODB.Commandcmd.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connectioncmd.CommandText = "DTKB_MB_UPDATE"cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProcDim par As ADODB.ParameterSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@DATE", adDBTimeStamp, adParamInput)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@BATCH_NUMBER", adVarWChar, adParamInput, 50)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@STATUS", adVarWChar, adParamInput, 50)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@DEPARTMENT", adVarWChar, adParamInput, 50)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@PRODUCTION", adVarWChar, adParamInput, 50)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@SAMPLING_TYPE", adVarWChar, adParamInput,50)cmd.Parameters.Append parcmd.Parameters("@DATE") = Me.DATEcmd.Parameters("@BATCH_NUMBER") = Me.BATCH_NUMBERcmd.Parameters("@STATUS") = Me.STATUScmd.Parameters("@DEPARTMENT") = Me.DEPARTMENTcmd.Parameters("@PRODUCTION") = Me.PRODUCTIONcmd.Parameters("@SAMPLING_TYPE") = Me.SAMPLING_TYPEcmd.ExecuteSet cmd = NothingEnd SubUnfortunately, when clicking on the botton, the following error apears:"Run-time error'-2147217913 (80040e07)':Syntax error converting datetimefrom character string."Obviously, there is some problem regarding parameter @DATE. In SQL Server itis datetime, on the form's onbound text box it is short date (dd.mm.yyyy)data type. I have found in literature that in ADO it should beadDBTimeStamp.So, what is the problem ?Greetings,Zlatko
In our company, after switching to Office 2007, Access 2007 runtime is installed on our general user machines. Everything is just fine and beautiful, except that there is one issue with runtime:
Several forms in my Access Project use stored procedures in SQL Server 2000 as their record source. When i try to open the forms in Access 2007 Runtime on user machines, i receive an error that "The record source dbo.Myprocedure speified on this form or report does not exist ". I use dbo.ProcName format and the forms open correctly in my full version Access. What could be the problem?
We have been asked to look into using stored procedures with SQL Server 7.0 as a way to speed up a clients site. 99% of all the articles I have read along with all the books all say Stored Procedure should be used whenever possible as opposed to putting the SQL in your ASP script. However one of my colleagues has been speaking to Microsoft and they said that that they were surprised that our client wanted to use Stored Procedures as this was the old method of database access and that now he should really consider using COM objects for data access as itis much faster. Has anyone got any views on this or know of any good aticles regarding this matter ?

Can anyone tell me how to access data from Stored Procedures using data adapters? My task is to select a row which is valid with data particular value. Suppose i had to get all values of particular user after validating username and password. Can anyone give me some hint regarding store procedure and retriving data from stored procedure using data adapters ? How can i bind data to dropdownbox of one field in the table using datasets and data adapters? How can i insert data in database using data adapters?Can any one solve this?
What is the counterpart of this function when using SQL Server 2000? Im getting this error "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 'Val' is not a recognized function name"

I am translating some of my Access queries to SQL views. In one of those, I had a very convenient function called "IIF" (e.g. IIf(IsNull([Remark]),"NULL","NOT NULL").
How is this function called in the MS SQL Server 2000? Apparently I cannot use either "IIF" nor "CASE" in the query/view.....
