How Can I Identify The Caller's Database From A Stored Procedure In Another Database?
Apr 2, 2008
I am wondering if there is a way to create a procedure in a logging database that can identify the source database from which it is invoked. DB_NAME() of course returns the name of the database in which the stored procedure exists. I could pass the database name as a parameter to the proc, just wondering if there is another way.
This is SQL 2005, I did look into the sys.dm_exec views but nothing seems to have a dbid reflecting the calling context.
Is there any way of obtaining any information about the caller of a stored procedure from within the procedure, specifically machine name or IP address?
I'm looking for a built-in SQL function, rather than passing this information in as a parameter!
Is it possible to execute a stored procedure in one database, which thenitself executes a stored procedure from another database? We have decide tosplit our data into a tree structure (DB1) and data blobs (DB2) (we areusing MSDE and we have a 2gb limit with each DB so we've done it this wayfor that reason). I would like to, say, execute a stored procedure in DB1,passing in the data blob and other details, DB1 will create a tree node inDB1 and then add the blob record to DB2. DB1 will wrap in a transaction ofcourse, as will DB2 when it adds the blob. Is this possible?
I am currently invoking a €śtrace€? using TSQL statements to debug problems with our billing stored procedures under SQL Server 2005.
It has been asked that if the billing failed due to some exception €“ could the trace be used to identify which row caused the error.
I have not found anything in the trace table that would assist me in this. I thought the €śreads€? and €śwrites€? posted in the trace table would help €“ but they are only posted at successful completion of a sql statement.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can obtain this information using TSQL trace statements?
I have a stored procedure that is located in one database and I would like to have it execute against a different database. My problem is when I go to execute it, it is still executing against the database it is stored in. Is it possible to tell this stored procedure when it runs to execute its code against this second database?
This is what I have now, which isn't working:
Code Snippet
use [Database2] exec [Database1].[dbo].usp_SetupDatabaseUser
I have a stored procedure that calls a msdb stored procedure internally. I granted the login execute rights on the outer sproc but it still vomits when it tries to execute the inner. Says I don't have the privileges, which makes sense.
How can I grant permissions to a login to execute msdb.dbo.sp_update_schedule()? Or is there a way I can impersonate the sysadmin user for the call by using Execute As sysadmin some how?
There are too many indexes built on DB. As per the naming convention it seems the indexes are built as per the suggestions provided from execution plan. I presume most of the indexes are used only once in a month for the reports but are hampering the performance of daily running queries. These are also occupying a lot of space.
To confirm on this I have used the below query to know & identify the unused indexes. I have recorded the counters before and after the huge operations and I observed NO CHANGE in any of the values.
What the below values exactly indicate and when do they change? Is it good to delete the indexes having low USER_SEEKS, USER_SCANS, USER_LOOKUPS?
Query: SELECT OBJECT_NAME(S.[OBJECT_ID]) AS [OBJECT NAME], I.[NAME] AS [INDEX NAME], USER_SEEKS, USER_SCANS, USER_LOOKUPS,
I have MSSQL 2005. On earlier versions of MSSQL saving a stored procedure wasn't a confusing action. However, every time I try to save my completed stored procedure (parsed successfully ) I'm prompted to save it as a query on the hard drive.
How do I cause the 'Save' action to add the new stored procedure to my database's list of stored procedures?
Hi, I have a set of databases. Each user had his own database. Every database had the same stored procedures. The is one "admin" database where content about these users is stored. When I want to update or change a stored procedure I have to update it in every database. Therefore I want to put the stored procedures in the "admin" database. From there I have to access the databases of the user. I want to send the database name as a parameter. How can I change de database which te procedure should access? If I use the "use" statement I complains about that I can't use that command in a stored procedure. I've tried this method too: SELECT * FROM @databasename.dbo.tblname but that's not accepted too. Does anybody know how to select another database in the stored procedure?
We are trying to develop some standards for SQL stored procedures and I am wandering what is the preferrable method to reference a table within a stored procedure for use within a Client Server / Web OLTP. One: SELECT Customer_Id, Customer_Name FROM CUSTOMER
Or TWO: SELECT Customer_Id, Customer_Name FROM [DATABASENAME].[dbo].[CUSTOMER]
Most of my background is in working with data warehousing which is constantly loading between a staging and main DB, so I am in the habit of using TWO, but is this the best method for an OLTP and why.
Hi all, I want to use a stored procedure to access data in different databases. I was wondering if it is possible to pass the database name to the stored procedure as a parameter and use it in the sql statement. Thank you for all the help you can give me. Regards, Eve
I have created a stored procedure in the master database that can be run against any database on the server. I call this procedure from a sql server agent job. In this job I specify the database I want the procedure to run against but it always seems to run against the master database (presumably because the procedure is in this database). I can't switch database inside the procedure so what can I do other than creating a copy of the procedure in every database?
hey guyz... i used this stored procedure code my system.. but it crashes saying "exclusive access could not be obtained becuase the database is in use"
i have included the stored procedure below. is the stored procedure correct? if it is.. how can i sovle this problem?
CREATE Procedure spRestoreDatabase @Path VARCHAR(100) AS Restore Database Test From Disk = @Path GO
Hi. I'm trying to write a stored procedure that will access another database on a different server. How can I set this up in a stored procedure? It is a SQL Server 2000 database and it will be using SQL server authentication. Thanks!
I am trying to create a database within a stored procedure, so that the database name is generated each time. Please review the attached code, as sql seems to error out on '@dname'
I am running Sql Server 2005, When I create a new stored procedure and try to save it, I'm prompted with the 'save file as dialog'. Is'nt the stored procedure suppose to be saved within the database?
SELECT @stateabr=state_abr FROM Public.dbo.state WHERE state_id=@state_id
INSERT INTO registration_form VALUES(@firstname,@lastname,@job_title,@manager,@cost_center,@address,@city,@stateabr,@zip,@email,@phone,@roommate,@arrival,@departure,@special_needs)
IF @@rowcount>0 SET @result=1 GO
This is the specific line where I'm trying to access a different database:
SELECT @stateabr=state_abr FROM Public.dbo.state WHERE state_id=@state_id
how can we use 2 databases in 1 stored procedure. like for example i want to get records from 1 table and insert it to other tables in another database. thnx for the help.
I am very new to stored procedures and fairly new to SQL in general. I have a stored procedure that looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_UpdateProductsTable @prodName varchar(50), @prodManufacturer varchar(50), @prodShortDescrip text, @prodLongDescrip text, @prodCatId int, @prodPrice varchar(6), @prodSortOrder int, @prodActive int, @prodId int AS if( @prodId <> 0 ) begin update Products set Name = @prodName, Manufacturer = @prodManufacturer, ShortDescription = @prodShortDescrip, LongDescription = @prodLongDescrip, CategoryID = @prodCatId, Price = @prodPrice, SortOrder = @prodSortOrder, Active = @prodActive where ID = @prodId;
select ID as prodId from Products where ID = @prodId
end if( @prodId = 0 ) begin insert into Products ( Name, Manufacturer, ShortDescription, LongDescription, Price, CategoryID, SortOrder, Active ) values( @prodName, @prodManufacturer, @prodShortDescrip, @prodLongDescrip, @prodPrice, @prodCatId, @prodSortOrder, @prodActive );
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS prodId end
GO
I have recently added two new fields to the database that I need the stored procedure to act upon, but adding them into the above code does not work. I read somewhere that this would happen with new fields, but I do not know how to fix this issue. Could someone point me in the right direction and help me out? I also have some other tables and SP's that I need to update, but its the same issue, I think so fixing this one should help me out across the board.
From within a stored procedure in an existing database I'm creating a new database from the scratch.
In the query window if I write the statement: CREATE DATABASE [tomasdb]
USE [tomasdb] GO CREATE PROCEDURE TEST1 AS BEGIN DECLARE @something varchar(12) set @something = '123' END
everything works ok and the database is created and the stored procedure Test1 is created within it. However, if I want to do the same from another stored procedure (in another database), i.e. I write
EXEC(' CREATE DATABASE [tomasdb] USE [tomasdb] CREATE PROCEDURE TEST1 AS BEGIN DECLARE @something varchar(12) set @something = ''123'' END ')
the problem I get is that I'm not allowed to put USE to change the execution context into [tomasdb] before the CREATE PROCEDURE statement. My question is: how can I change the context in this situation / or / can I create the stored procedure in the [tomasdb] database somehow from outside (another context).
Hello,I need to come up with a stored procedure that will allow me to readdata from another database. The database I need to read the data fromis a UniData residing on a Unix server. The stored procedure needs toreside on my sql 2005 server. The task is very simple in Access as wehave ODBC connections set up to the UniData via Informix (or IBM)UniData ODBC drivers. I can easily combine my UniData and Sql Servertables from within access. However, I can't seem to find a way toreplicate the same behavior in MS SQL Stored Procedure without the useof Access. Is that even possible?Thanks,Marek
As I had real problems working my head around sp_spaceused, I've written anSP to do it (I also noted a lot of questions about this when "searching").Pass in a database name and it will return the size of the database as afloat (ie. 0.75 for 0.75mb). Update usage set to 1 indicates the DB shouldupdate its size information before giving you the result.Anyway, comments appreciate.ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.proc_BL_Get_Space_Used@DatabaseName NVARCHAR(54),@updateusage BIT,@Size REAL OUTPUTASBEGINDECLARE @dbsize DECIMAL(15,0)DECLARE @bytesperpage DECIMAL(15,0)DECLARE @pagesperMB DECIMAL(15,0)DECLARE @Error INTEGERDECLARE @ExecString NVARCHAR(256)DECLARE @ParmString NVARCHAR(128)SET @Error = 0/*Update usage for this database.*/IF @updateusage = 1BEGINDBCC UPDATEUSAGE (@DatabaseName) WITH NO_INFOMSGSSET @Error = @@ERRORENDSET NOCOUNT ON/*Work out the database size.*/IF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'SELECT @dbsize = SUM ( CONVERT ( DECIMAL (15 ), SIZE ) ) FROM ' + @DatabaseName + '.dbo.sysfiles WHERE (status & 64 =0)'SET @ParmString = '@dbsize DECIMAL(15,0) OUTPUT'EXECUTE sp_executesql @ExecString, @ParmString, @dbsize OUTPUTSET @Error = COALESCE ( NULLIF ( @Error, 0 ), @@ERROR )END/*and bytes per page.*/IF @Error = 0BEGINSELECT @bytesperpage = LOWFROM master.dbo.spt_valuesWHERE number = 1AND type = 'E'SET @Error = @@ERROREND/*pages per mb*/IF @Error = 0BEGINSELECT @pagesperMB = 1048576 / @bytesperpageSET @Error = @@ERROREND/*and finally, the result.*/IF @Error = 0BEGINSET @Size = CONVERT(REAL, @dbsize) / CONVERT(REAL, @pagesperMB )SET @Error = @@ERRORENDRETURN @ErrorEND
Is there a stored procedure installed by sql server 2000 that I cancall and just pass in the name of a new database and have it createthe database for me? If not, how do I do it in sql? Thanks.
I need to create a stored procedure in the master database that canaccess info to dynamically create a view in another database. Itdoesn't seem like it should be very hard, but I can't get it to work.Here's an example of what I want to do.CREATE PROCEDURE create_view @dbname sysnameASBEGINDECLARE @query varchar(1000)SELECT @query = 'use ' + @dbname + ' go CREATE VIEW ........'EXEC(@query)ENDIn this case, I get an error with the word "go". Without it, I get a"CREATE VIEW must be the first statement in a batch" error. I tried asemicolon in place of "GO" but that didn't help either.Thanks
I have a query in my VB / SQL Server application, but I now want to replace that query with a stored procedure. Do anyone know how I can go about calling a database procedure with connection as I have tried but getting errors. Thanks.
