Getting Text Data Into XML Stored Procedure
Jan 16, 2008
Hi,
I've got some XML which exists as a text variable in a temp table in SQL Server 2000.
I need to pass this XML into sp_xml_preparedocument so I can rebuild a table out of it. But I can't figure out the syntax.
If I try doing this:
declare @idoc int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc output, (select XmlResult from #cache)
I get an error, with or without the brackets round the select statement.
The temp table is created using an SP, but I can't call that directly either. This:
declare @idoc int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc output, exec Search$GetCache @searchID
Also throws an error.
I can't put it into a
local variable because they can't be of type text. I can't pass it into
the SP somewhere as it's being generated on the fly.
How can I get my xml into sp_xml_preparedocument?
Cheers,
Matt

Hi - I'm short of SQL experience and hacking my way through creating a simple search feature for a personal project. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out with writing a stored procedure. Problem: I have two tables with three columns indexed for full-text search. So far I have been able to successfully execute the following query returning matching row ids: dbo.Search_Articles @searchText varchar(150) AS SELECT ArticleID FROM articles WHERE CONTAINS(Description, @searchText) OR CONTAINS(Title, @searchText) UNION SELECT ArticleID FROM article_pages WHERE CONTAINS(Text, @searchText); RETURN This returns the ArticleID for any articles or article_pages records where there is a text match. I ultimately need the stored procedure to return all columns from the articles table for matches and not just the StoryID. Seems like maybe I should try using some kind of JOIN on the result of the UNION above and the articles table? But I have so far been unable to figure out how to do this as I can't seem to declare a name for the result table of the UNION above. Perhaps there is another more eloquent solution? Thanks! Peter

Hi,
I have a problem with importing text into a database.
I have an application in .net where I fill a textbox with a certain text. When I press a button the text shall be separated and inserted into a database. The big question here is: how do I seperate the text so I get it into different colums in the database?
I know there is someting called InString, should I use this or is there an other way? I was thinking I could use a stored procedure.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to inject dynamically generated text into a Sql2000 stored procedure. What am I doing wrong?A code behind routine generates the following string value based on a visitor entering 'sail boats' in TextBox1. The routine splits the entry and creates the below string.Companies.L_Keywords LIKE '%sail%' AND Companies.L_Keywords LIKE '%boats%'
I am trying to place this string result in the WHERE statement of a Sql2000 Stored Procedure using parameter @VisitorKeywords.
PROCEDURE dbo.KWsearchAS SELECT DISTINCT Companies.L_Name, Companies.L_ID, Companies.L_EnabledWHERE ( @visitorKeywords ) AND (Companies.L_Enabled = 1)ORDER BY Companies.L_Name
I am wanting the resulting WHERE portion to be:
WHERE ( Companies.L_Keywords LIKE '%sail%' AND Companies.L_Keywords LIKE '%boats%' ) AND (Companies.L_Enabled = 1)
Thank you

Hi!!!
Is it possible to create a stored procedure which will create a text file (containing information from some tables) and send it via e-mail to a list of user.
I know that I will have to configure the SQL Mail.
If it is possible, can someone give me sample code.
Thanks you.

I want to sort a stored procedure based on a variable passed to it... what is the easiest way to do this? Here's an example of what I want to do:
sp_select_thing 10, 'thing_name', 'asc'
It would run the query then somehow evaluate parameters 2 and 3 to be placed in the ORDER BY clause. I'm not sure if they should be quoted as strings or not, I don't have an idea how to pass a "reference to a variable" as a parameter to a stored procedure... or even if such a thing is possible
Thanks!

Want to write from a table variable to a text file from a stored procedure.Read about xp_cmdshell bcp etc. but worried because it's supposed to be a security problem and needs to be from a permanent database.Also am getting error "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_cmdshell'..."
1. Is xp_cmdshell a bad idea to use even if I get permissions ?
2. Can a "permanent" table be used in a stored procedure starting out fresh each time with 0 rows rather than use a table variable ?

In SQL 2005 (we use Enterprise 64-bit SP2), the users cannot see thetext of the stored procedures, functions, etc.This is a production database, so I cannot give them rights to modifythem, but they need to be able to see what the procs are doing.I didn't have this problem in 2000 - how can I adjust the privilegesto allow them to view the contents of the Programmability objects?thanks for any insight!!Tracy

Hello,
I was wondering if you could help resolve a simple question - namely how to input a type text value as a parameter to a stored procedure, which expects that type of input.
Text type variables are not allowed and casting to varchar in this case will not work as the input will be far longer than 8000 characters.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm new to ASP.NET 2.0. I have a sqldatasource and a formview controls on a web page and inside the formview control I have two textboxes. When I click the UPDATE button in the formview, I'd like to be able to retrieve the values of the textboxes inside the formview control and pass these values to a 'Update' SQL stored procedure defined in the Sqldatasource.
Does anyone know how I can do this? Hope my question is clear.
Thanks in advance.

I am stuck! and need help!
I have a problem I can't seem to find the solution with this aweful limitations on VARCHAR fields of 255.
Within a stored procedure called Store_Check, I need to dynamically build a string (@string) using VARCHAR(255) since the text datatype can't be used in a stored procedure.
So,this string is built according to whether the Store ID is NOT NULL. So if the StoreID is not null, I start building this string 'Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID1, @address2'. There are 20 StoreID's passed into Store_Check. IF all 20 StoreID's are not NULL, the executed String greatly exceeds 255 because the string winds up looking like this
'Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID1, @address1 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID2, @address2 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID3, @address3 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID4, @address4 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID5, @address5 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID6, @address6 etc. etc.'
I am not executing this string within the StoredCheck procedure. It needs to be passed as ONE string to a VB program and it gets executed by the VB program. Even if I create 4 local variables and concatenate them, it stops at the 255th character.
Also, a local varialbe of type TEXT cannot be declared within stored procedure.
What can I do? I am stuck!

I have made this defination for a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE EP_Conterbalances
@Start_Date_For_Totals_Date DATETIME,
@EmpFilterAddDuty VARCHAR(500),
@CounterBalanceType_id INT,
@dateFrom DATETIME,
[Code] .....
The value of @EmpFilterAddDuty could be:
'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID '
If i Replace @EmpFilterAddDuty with this in a QUERY, it gives me the expected result, but if i try to execute the stored procedure.:
DECLARE@return_value int
EXEC@return_value = [dbo].[EP_Conterbalances]
@Start_Date_For_Totals_Date = N'20120831',
@EmpFilterAddDuty = 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B
[Code] .....
I get this error code:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID ' to data type int.
I really do not understand why SQL 2012 tries to convert the value to an int, and I want to know how to pass the text string.

I need to create a stored procedure that allows a full text search with multiple filters. The FTS is a three variable proximity (x near y near z) drawing from three textboxes which works fine in my VB application:
WHERE CONTAINS(SectionText, ' """ & SearchTerm1 & """ NEAR """ & SearchTerm2 & """ NEAR """ & SearchTerm3 & """ ')
The filters consist of 4 comboboxes and 2 textboxes. I am trying to use the dynamic SQL approach found here:
http://www.sommarskog.se/dyn-search.html
The dynamic SQL in the stored procedure that I have created based on this model works fine for filtering, but I have not been able to get my FTS query integrated with it. I have tried various ways of declaring the SearchTerms as parameters, etc. but no luck.
Any help in getting this to work (or advice for using a different approach that is more appropriate) would be greatly appreciated.

We have a legacy database that have hundreds of stored procedures.
The previous programmar uses a string like servername.databasename.dbo.tablename in the stored procedures.
We now have migrated the database to a new server. The old server is either needed to be replaced by the new server name, or remove it.
I don't know why he used servername as part of the fully qualified name, we don't use linked servers. So I think better removing the servername in all the stored procedures.
I know I can do a generate script, and replace the text and then use alter procedure to recreate all the stored procedures. But since hundreds of them, is there a programmatically way to replace them?

I have a C# SQL 2005 .net stored procedure which scrubs a text file looking for characters not in a range of characters and replacing them with another character. This works fine except when the process is killed. When this happens the file handle of the file being scrubbed is not released. I use a try catch finally block when opening the file and the output file. The finally section fiushes the output file and closes all files and streams but still when I go to access the file again or use the file in explorer it says the file is still in use. Should I be handling this some other way? How do I know the files will always be closed correctly.
