Hi Peeps I have a SP that returns xml I have writen another stored proc in which I want to do something like this:Select FieldOne, FieldTwo, ( exec sp_that_returns_xml ( @a, @b) ), FieldThree from TableName But it seems that I cant call the proc from within a select. I have also tried declare @v xml set @v = exec sp_that_returns_xml ( @a, @b) But this again doesn't work I have tried changing the statements syntax i.e. brackets and no brackets etc..., The only way Ive got it to work is to create a temp table, insert the result from the xml proc into it and then set @v as a select from the temp table - Which to be frank is god awful way to do it. Any and all help appreciated. Kal
Hi all,I have a stored procedure that return a resultsete.g. stored proc: get_employee_detailsselect emp_id, emp_name, emp_salary, emp_positionfrom empoloyeeI would like to write another stored procedure that executes the abovestored procedure - returning the same number of records but it willonly show 2 columnse.g. new stored proc: get_employee_pay -- executesget_employee_detailsI only need to know emp_id, emp_salary.How can this be done in sql stored procedure?Thanks,June Moore.
I am writing a set of store procedures (around 30), most of them require the same basic logic to get an ID, I was thinking to add this logic into an stored procedure.
The question is: Would calling an stored procedure from within an stored procedure affect performance? I mean, would it need to create a separate db connection? am I better off copying and pasting the logic into all the store procedures (in terms of performance)?
Hi all - I'm trying to optimized my stored procedures to be a bit easier to maintain, and am sure this is possible, not am very unclear on the syntax to doing this correctly. For example, I have a simple stored procedure that takes a string as a parameter, and returns its resolved index that corresponds to a record in my database. ie exec dbo.DeriveStatusID 'Created' returns an int value as 1 (performed by "SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName= 'Created') but I also have a second stored procedure that needs to make reference to this procedure first, in order to resolve an id - ie: exec dbo.AddProduct_Insert 'widget1' which currently performs:SET @statusID = (SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName='Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID) I want to simply the insert to perform (in one sproc): SET @statusID = EXEC deriveStatusID ('Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID) This works fine if I call this stored procedure in code first, then pass it to the second stored procedure, but NOT if it is reference in the second stored procedure directly (I end up with an empty value for @statusID in this example). My actual "Insert" stored procedures are far more complicated, but I am working towards lightening the business logic in my application ( it shouldn't have to pre-vet the data prior to executing a valid insert). Hopefully this makes some sense - it doesn't seem right to me that this is impossible, and am fairly sure I'm just missing some simple syntax - can anyone assist?

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.
Hi, i've had this query method: 34 public void AddDagVerslagCategorie(int logID, HistoriekDetail historiekDetail)35 {36 SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection(_connectionString);37 string strSql = "Insert into LogDetail (LogID, CategorieID, Inhoud)";38 strSql += "values(@logID, @categorieID, @inhoud)";39 SqlCommand oCmd = new SqlCommand(strSql, oConn);40 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@logID", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = logID;41 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@categorieID", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = historiekDetail.CategorieID;42 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@inhoud", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100)).Value = historiekDetail.Inhoud;43 44 try45 {46 oConn.Open();47 int rowsAffected = oCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();48 if (rowsAffected == 0) throw new ApplicationException("Fout toevoegen historiek detail");49 oCmd.CommandText = "select @@IDENTITY";50 oCmd.Parameters.Clear();51 historiekDetail.HistoriekDetailID = (int)(decimal)oCmd.ExecuteScalar();52 }53 catch (Exception ex)54 {55 throw new ApplicationException("Fout toevoegen historiek detail: " + ex.Message);56 }57 finally58 {59 if (oConn.State == ConnectionState.Open) oConn.Close();60 }61 } which i've converted to a stored procedure: 1 ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[insert_DagVerslagDetail] 2 -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here 3 @dagverslagdetailID int, 4 @logID int, 5 @categorieID int, 6 @inhoud varchar(100) 7 AS 8 BEGIN 9 -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from 10 -- interfering with SELECT statements. 11 SET NOCOUNT ON; 12 SET @dagverslagdetailID = SCOPE_IDENTITY() 13 14 -- Insert statements for procedure here 15 BEGIN TRANSACTION 16 INSERT LogDetail (LogID, CategorieID, Inhoud) 17 VALUES(@logID, @categorieID, @inhoud) 18 COMMIT TRANSACTION 19 END
Now i would like to call that stored procedure in my previous method, so i've changed it to this: 1 public void AddDagVerslagCategorie(int logID, HistoriekDetail historiekDetail) 2 { 3 SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection(_connectionString); 4 string strSql = "insert_DagVerslagDetail"; 5 strSql += "values(@logID, @categorieID, @inhoud)"; 6 SqlCommand oCmd = new SqlCommand(strSql, oConn); 7 oCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; 8 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@logID", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = logID; 9 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@categorieID", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = historiekDetail.CategorieID; 10 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@inhoud", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100)).Value = historiekDetail.Inhoud; 11 12 try 13 { 14 oConn.Open(); 15 int rowsAffected = oCmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); 16 if (rowsAffected == 0) throw new ApplicationException("Fout toevoegen historiek detail"); 17 oCmd.CommandText = "select @@IDENTITY"; 18 oCmd.Parameters.Clear(); 19 historiekDetail.HistoriekDetailID = (int)(decimal)oCmd.ExecuteScalar(); 20 } 21 catch (Exception ex) 22 { 23 throw new ApplicationException("Fout toevoegen historiek detail: " + ex.Message); 24 } 25 finally 26 { 27 if (oConn.State == ConnectionState.Open) oConn.Close(); 28 } 29 }
Do i still need the lines 17 oCmd.CommandText = "select @@IDENTITY"; 19 historiekDetail.HistoriekDetailID = (int)(decimal)oCmd.ExecuteScalar(); Because i've declared the identity in my stored procedure
Hi All... I'm calling a stored procedure from C#. I'm sending it input parameters as follows:SqlCommand c = new SqlCommand("AddAuthor", myConnection);c.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; c.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@LastName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100));c.Parameters["@LastName"].Value = "Last"; c.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@FirstName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100));c.Parameters["@FirstName"].Value = "First"; In my opinion, that works nice - and it's easy. The reference I'm using says I can also specify "output" parameters - instead of supplying a value, one needs to change a property called direction. But my stored procedure doesnt return any output parameters per se, but it does return a value. That is the last statement in the stored procedure is "RETURN @@IDENTITY" - it returns the identity field after an INSERT... So how do I get that value back in my C# code? Thanks for the help in advance. Happy 4th to all! : ) -- Curt

Hi, I have a stored procedure, and it is expecting an output. If I declared the passing varaible as ref, it compiles fine, but it is not returning any value. If I pass the varaible as out, and add the paramater MyComm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ReturnValue", returnValue)); it gives the following error. Compiler Error Message: CS0269: Use of unassigned out parameter 'quoteID'. And if I don't supply the previous statement, the following error occurs. System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Procedure 'CreateData' expects parameter '@ReturnValue', which was not supplied. How Can I fix this? thanks.
For a new web project I am working on I wrote a couple of Stored Procs in C#. I have deployed them to the database, and can run them fine using SQL Mgmt Studio. The problem is that when I try and run them from my application, I get a 'The Stored Procedure 'ProcName' does not exist' error message. I orignally thought it might be a permissions issue, so I changed my connection string to connect as 'sa' and it still got the same error. I am using the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary to connect to the database. Any ideas on what I need to do to get this to work?

I have a stored procedure that calls a DTS package to grab a text file that has been uploaded to the server and merge it with a table on the database. The DTS package works woderfully in SQL, as does the the file upload. The problem arrises when I create a stored procedure to run the DTS package. I know that you have to shell out and do a command line on the SQL server (and I think that I got the syntax correct) but its calling the Stored Procedure in the ASP.NET app that is causing me hardship. Here is the code that I have so far:
Stored Procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE spSampleData AS exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /SZEUSsqlServer113 /NdtsPackage /UuserID /Ppassword' GO
VB to run DTS:
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure myCommand.CommandText = "spSampleData" myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but any help would be great.
I am trying to set up a call to a Stored Procedure to do an Insert. Here is my code snippet:
<%@ Page Language="VB" %> <%@ import Namespace="System" %> <%@ import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %> . . . Dim loConn as New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")) Dim cmdInsert as New SQLCommand("AdminUser_Insert", loConn) cmdInsert.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim InsertForm As New SqlDataAdapter() InsertForm.InsertCommand = cmdInsert
Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.
Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'CommandType' is not declared.
This error happens on the line: cmdInsert.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
I'm trying to call a job from a stored procedure. To do so, I've found that sp_start_job is doing just that. My problem is that the sp_start_job is not in my master database stored procedures and I don't know how to add it. I'm working with SQL Server 7 Enterprise without the SP.
Am I looking for the right thing ? (sp_start_job) Where can I find it ?
I need to call a DLL from with one of my stored procedures. How do I achieve this?
The DLL is currently on App server (Not on the SQL Server box). Do I have to register this DLL on my SQL server, create an extended stored proc and call it from my stored proc?
I'm relatively new to SQL Server and I was wondering if there is any way to call a DLL from a regular stored procedure? I believe I've read that the extended stored procedure is a DLL and therefore should be able to call another DLL. Can this also be verified? We're looking to speed up some sections of Visual Basic code which does some heavy I/O work. I've also asked this once before but didn't get an absolute answer - can you write the extended stored procedures in Visual Basic or is C/C++ the only language supported right now?
Hey, I have a parent SP, and within that parent I want to call a a child what is the code to call that child procedure? or teh easiest way to make that happen?
How can I find what is calling a stored proc in a database or on the server?
Currently a job runs daily that calls a couple of DTS packages. Somewhere in this process a stored proc is being called that pumps out several emails. BUT nowhere in the DTS or job can I find any reference to the stored proc.
I would like to know how to call a Stored Proc with in code. Have an SQL code but need data from a table that needs to be updated by a Stored Proc. Would need to call proc in the middle of code to get the correct data. Just not sure of what the statement looks like to call the proc. Thank you for your help. David (DHL)
I have now created a stored proceedure that has a return parameter, not i am unsure how to call it from another proceedure,
ie say i have select projectid, project name from projects into temp from projects.
how can i then loop around all the rows in temp, to call my stored proceedure for each record?
in vb i would have created a function like my stored proceedure, then picked up a recordset, looped around it and picked up the return value for each row.
can this be done for sql?
I am trying to do something like
for each record in #temp (projectid, project name) find the stored sprceedure value
so my end result will look like
projectid, project name, @storedproceedure return value lprojectid, project name, @storedproceedure return value projectid, project name, @storedproceedure return value projectid, project name, @storedproceedure return value
Can someone tell me a straightforward way to call a VB app (that accepts command line arguments) from a stored procedure.
I have got it to work by using xp_cmdshell, but in practice, the security constraints here prevent using this. Our DBAs don't want to set the proxy account required for a non-sysadmin user to eexecute xp_cmdshell.
I know that writing an extended SP invoking a C++ dll would be the cleanest solution. However I don't have the knowledge to do that.
When I call a stored procedure from a dll written in Builder C++, it gets blocked. But if I call the same SP from the main program, it works fine. but I need to call SP from the dll. What's the problem? Thanks...
I know this thread is sql, and i'm asking a vb.net question but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere else. I am using visual studio 2008 designing a vb.net application where I created a stored procedure using sql management studio 2005. Here is the stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedure2 @intPID char(10) AS SELECT SUM(Financial.Fee) from dbo.Financial WHERE CONVERT(DATETIME, FLOOR(CONVERT(FLOAT, getdate())))=CONVERT(DATETIME, FLOOR(CONVERT(FLOAT, Financial.Date))) AND [SPatient Number]=@intPID /* SET NOCOUNT ON */ RETURN
It takes the sum of my Fee column in my financial table where the current date is equal to the column named Date in my Financial table and SPatient Number equals my variable intPID, which the value is defined for in my application (yes, i know that is a horrible name for a column but I cannot change it for it is not my project).
Now, to my knowledge this procedure works fine and should output a single value. However, like i said, i am using visual studio 2008 and therefore am using vs's more automated way of connecting to sql servers(and by that I mean configuring the server through visual studio rather than manually defining datasets, dataadapters, and connection strings through code) All of the tutorials I find use data adapters and are done by manually declaring sql connections and so forth. I like visual studios more automated method of doing sql tasks, and would like to know if there is a simple way to call a stored procedure using visual studio in such a fashion where I would write something like "exec dbo.StoredProcedure2 'intPID' "
Any help is much appreciated, thank you

Hi all, I'm new to SQL Server and I'm trying to call BCP from a stored procedure with a parameter passed in as the path to which to export the datafile. This parameter is also the name of a network PC. However, I keep getting this error: SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0 Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unable to open BCP host data-file NULL
This is the stored procedure: PROCEDURE DownloadLinkEvents @localPath varchar(80) AS declare @bcpCommand varchar(200) begin set @bcpCommand = 'bcp <dbName> out ' + @localPath + '-c -t"|" -S<dbServer> -Usa -P<passowrd>' exec master..xp_cmdshell @bcpCommand end

Hi AllI was wondering if there is a way to call a stored procedure from insideanother stored procedure. So for example my first procedure will call asecond stored procedure which when executed will return one record and iwant to use this data in the calling stored procedure. Is this possible ?Thanks in advance
Is it possible to have a stored procedure in database A while callingit from database B and have it manipulate the tables in database B(whatever the calling database happens to be)?We have a large-scale app that uses many complex stored procedures,and as of now, we're copying the SPs to every new database that iscreated, and it will soon become a nightmare for propagating updatesand fixes. We'd like to keep a master set of the SPs in one DB and"use" them from other DBs so that they only query data and manipulatetables in the calling DB. I hope someone has some suggestions. Thanks.
