Hi all,
if I have a SQL string that has an IN clause in its WHERE statement so that I only bring back rows for certains primary key values, how do I handle this with SQL Parameters without having to do any string concatenation?
Thanks in advance.
Hello all,
I am using SP as my data set to generate report and there are some multi-value parameters which past as an array back to sql server. Since sql server can not handle the array pass in , how to handle it?
thx
Please i have lots of reports, i would like to pass parameters, i may pass or i will not pass.
but all of my reports are using stored procs from sql server database.
please guys can some one give me an idea how can i have optional parameters defined in the stored procedure.
in the reports layout collections property where i have to specify the parameters need to run the report there how can i define. wether it is optional of required parameter.
i see the parameters collections object there are hidden, pass null or pass a default value or pass the info via query etc.
please help thank you very much for the information.
Is It possible to pass a parameter using the where clause:
Select * from table where @parameter = @parameter1
I need help identifying the following SQL. Sounds like a simple question, but I am new to this type of design and ad-hoc sql with no store procedures. Basically we have no stored procs and all the selects are siting in a table for retrieval.
Select Column1 from db where SomeColum = '{1}'
Can someone explain the '{1}' and is it similar to ?
hello. I have a database that a client developed that I need to pull data from. it consists of articles that fall into a range of 3 main categories. each article will have up to 7 different subcategories they fall into. I need to be able to sort by main category as well as by subcategory. But when I create the SQL query it gets really messy. I tried using WHERE Cat1= comm OR leg OR and so on, but there are seven categories so this gets very cumbersome and doesn't quite work. Is there a way to create an array or a subquery for this? I am a total newbie, so any help is much appreciated!
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor my reports I have a Sort By parameter which has 2 values - Customer Name & Customer Number. for my dataset I have added @SortBy as parameter and assigned the value = Parameter!SortBy.value.
In the query I want to set the Order By clause based on the user selection. eg.:
select * from dbo.customers where name = @CustomerName order by @SortBy
However, I am unable to do this. I always get an exception for the order by clause no mater what. I have also tried the following queries in the query designer for the dataset customers but none of them work
="select * from dbo.customers where name " + @CustomerName + " order by " + @SortBy
select * from dbo.customers where name = @CustomerName order by + @SortBy
I know that I can set the interactive sort on the column headers and the interactive sort works, but the customer wants to have the ability to set the Sort By using the dropdown list.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have my where clause as follows, but it's not working:
WHERE (WPID LIKE @WBS1 + '.' + CASE WHEN @WBS2 = '' THEN substring([Number], 4, 2) = __ ELSE substring([Number], 4, 2) = @WBS2 END CASE)
I give the user two paramters.
The first parameter is to populate the first two characters of a string. There is a "." then another two characters. What I'm trying to do is if the user types nothing in the second parameter, then I use the underscore characters so it can be any two characters. If they do enter two characters, then I want to use them for the 2nd part of the string, hence character 4 and 5.
I need to filter my select statement with 2 parameters, each of which defaults to the "All" member. Some of the members may have spaces in the name.
So I need to handle something like these:
FROM MySalesCube
WHERE ( ... expression here ...)
The expression above needs to resolve to a set using both parameters
STRTOSET("[Dept].[Dept][" + @pDept + "] , [Salesperson].[SalesPerson].[" + @pSalesPerson + "]")
Running the query in SSMS, Im using something like this to test
WHERE ( [SalesPerson].[SalesPerson].&[17] , [Department].[Department].[All] )
I just need to use the above in an expression with parameters, where BOTH SalesPerson and Department could use a specific member OR use the All member.
[update]
Here is what I have now:
WHERE ( STRTOSET(CSTR("([SalesPerson].[SalesPerson].[" + @pSalesPerson +"] , [Department].[Department].[" + @pDept + "])") ) )
If I hard-code @pDept to something in a string, it works ok, otherwise, I simply get an error
Good afternoon,
I'm trying to use a parameterin a way that RS seems to think is unnatural, and I'm wondering about a work around...
Normally I can use parameters like so:
select *
from foo
where fooValue > @myParameter
What I'd like to do instead is use a constant on the right of the predicate, and a parameter to define the column to measure against, like so:
select *
from foo
where @myParameter > 10
Or
select *
from foo
where @myParameter is not null
Any assist with this is greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Brian

I'm using service broker and keep getting errors in the log even though everythig is working as expected
SQL Server 2005
Two databases
Two end points - 1 in each database
Two stored procedures:
SP1 is activated when a message enters the sending queue. it insert a new row in a table
SP2 is activated when a response is sent from the receiving queue. it cleans up the sending queue.
I have a table with an update trigger
In that trigger, if the updted row meets a certain condition a dialogue is created and a message is sent to the sending queue.
I know that SP1 and SP2 are behaving properly because i get the expected result.
Sp1 is inserteding the expected data in the table
SP2 is cleaning up the sending queue.
In the Sql Server log however i'm getting errors on both of the stored procs.
error #1
The activated proc <SP 1 Name> running on queue Applications.dbo.ffreceiverQueue output the following: 'The conversation handle is missing. Specify a conversation handle.'
error #2
The activated proc <SP 2 Name> running on queue ADAPT_APP.dbo.ffsenderQueue output the following: 'The conversation handle is missing. Specify a conversation handle.'
I would appreceiate anybody's help into why i'm getting this. have i set up the stored procs in correctly?
i can provide code of the stored procs if that helps.
thanks.
We have implemented our service broker architecture using conversation handle reuse per MS/Remus's recommendations. We have all of the sudden started receiving the conversation handle not found errors in the sql log every hour or so (which makes perfect sense considering the dialog timer is set for 1 hour). My question is...is this expected behavior when you have employed conversation recycling? Should you expect to see these messages pop up every hour, but the logic in the queuing proc says to retry after deleting from your conversation handle table so the messages is enqueued as expected?
Second question...i think i know why we were not receiving these errors before and wanted to confirm this theory as well. In the queuing proc I was not initializing the variable @Counter to 0 so when it came down to the retry logic it could not add 1 to null so was never entering that part of the code...I am guessing with this set up it would actually output the error to the application calling the queueing proc and NOT into the SQL error logs...is this a correct assumption?
I have attached an example of one of the queuing procs below:
Code Block
DECLARE @conversationHandle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER,
@err int,
@counter int,
@DialogTimeOut int,
@Message nvarchar(max),
@SendType int,
@ConversationID uniqueidentifier
select @Counter = 0 -- THIS PART VERY IMPORTANT LOL :)
select @DialogTimeOut = Value
from dbo.tConfiguration with (nolock)
where keyvalue = 'ConversationEndpoints' and subvalue = 'DeleteAfterSec'
WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
-- Lookup the current SPIDs handle
SELECT @conversationHandle = [handle] FROM tConversationSPID with (nolock)
WHERE spid = @@SPID and messagetype = 'TestQueueMsg';
IF @conversationHandle IS NULL
BEGIN
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
FROM SERVICE [InitiatorQueue_SER]
TO SERVICE 'ReceiveTestQueue_SER'
ON CONTRACT [TestQueueMsg_CON]
WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF;
BEGIN CONVERSATION TIMER ( @conversationHandle )
TIMEOUT = @DialogTimeOut
-- insert the conversation in the association table
INSERT INTO tConversationSPID
([spid], MessageType,[handle])
VALUES
(@@SPID, 'TestQueueMsg', @conversationHandle);
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [TestQueueMsg] (@Message)
END
ELSE IF @conversationHandle IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [TestQueueMsg] (@Message)
END
SELECT @err = @@ERROR;
-- if succeeded, exit the loop now
IF (@err = 0)
BREAK;
SELECT @counter = @counter + 1;
IF @counter > 10
BEGIN
-- Refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164086.aspx for severity levels
EXEC spLogMessageQueue 20002, 8, 'Failed to SEND on a conversation for more than 10 times. Error %i.'
BREAK;
END
-- We tried on the said conversation, but failed
-- remove the record from the association table, then
-- let the loop try again
DELETE FROM tConversationSPID
WHERE [spid] = @@SPID;
SELECT @conversationHandle = NULL;
END;
I have a quite big SQL query which would be nice to be used using UNION betweern two Select and Where clauses. I noticed that if both Select clauses have Where part between UNION other is ignored. How can I prevent this?
I found a article in StackOverflow saying that if UNION has e.g. two Selects with Where conditions other one will not work. [URL] ....
I have installed SQL Server 2014 and I tried to use tricks mentioned in StackOverflow's article but couldn't succeeded.
Any example how to write two Selects with own Where clauses and those Selects are joined with UNION?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working with a vendor on upgrading their application from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and am running into the following.
When on SQL Server 2000 the following statement ran without issue:
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID
SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed
WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1
AND TrackID IN
(
SELECT TrackID
FROM dbo.Track_ID
GROUP BY TrackID
HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1 AND
TrackID + 'x1' IN

dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))
FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions
ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id
GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
)
Once moved to SQL Server 2005 the statement would not return and showed SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD to be the waittype when executed. This machine is SP1 and needs to be upgraded to SP2, something that is not going to happen near time.
I changed the SQL to the following, SQL Server now runs it in under a second, but now the app is not functioning correctly. Are the above and the following semantically the same?
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID
SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed
WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1
AND TrackID IN
(
SELECT TrackID

FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions
ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id
GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
GROUP BY TrackID
HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1
)
2 examples:
1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
order by
v.id
Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2
I expect: 1,2,11
if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
2) SQL server reject query below with next message
Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16
A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
cross join (
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) u
order by
v.id
,u.id
Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
It reproducible on
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS
If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.
Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?

I have a SSRS report with four parameters,and I want to be able to enter information for two of the parameters and run the report opposed to all four of them. However, when I select allow blanks and only select the parameters that I want to run the report by, the report come back blank..Essentially, I want to be able to the run report by different parameters without having to enter information for all parameters at the same time.

Is it possible to catch and error and then keep the process going in a stored procedure?
So if an update encounters a primary key violation on a row, is it possible to skip that row and keep the process going?
Hi! I have some try .. catch block trying to insert some data into database. During its action duplicate key row insert error could raise, for example. The question is how could I know distinguish it from other sql errors? Object ex (Catch ex As Exception) has only message property '{"Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.Group_Courses' with unique index 'IX_Group_Courses'.The statement has been terminated."}' and type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException. Knowing the type of error is not enough, because there are different SqlExceptions. Even the message is not unique for this error, because now i deal with 'dbo.Group_Courses' and then it could be other table. Is there something that unique identifies each error? For example error code. If it exists, where could I get it?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have a table with one field set at nvarchar (4000)
This is sometimes not big enough and I get an error that the max row size has been reached.
How do people handle the error when the max row size is reached and gracefully inform the user?
Also, should I really be using Ntext instead, would this be better - is there a performance penalty?
Much obliged.

Hi,
I would like to handle a sql error in t-sql and return a certain value in case error occurs. For example if I would like to add a record I want to return a certain identity value or maybe a status of transaction (0 for incomplete, 1 for succesfull trans).
If error occurs in sql I cannot return any values back to asp.net because of What I am doing at the moment is catching an error in asp.net and then displaying an error message. Is there a way to return only a return value to asp.net and somehow handle the error in t-sql?
Thanks
I don't know what's wrong with SQL2000 setup, the problem is:
whenever I execute a query with a date/time such as 02/02/200,
SQL give me an error message saying that the date is "Out of Range".
Any ideas, thanks in advance.
I'm having trouble with something and I was hoping that you could point me in the right direction.
Here's the scenario:
I have a VB application that clients use to add records to a SQK 2K DB. The info they have added that day is shown in a grid. They have the ability to edit items in the grid, and then update those changes to the database. The problem is that sometimes they change the values to something they shouldn't. To combat this I've started experimenting with check constraints. In query analyzer I test the constraint by trying to update an entry to an 'illegal' value. When I do this, I get an error saying: "Server: Msg 547, Level 16, State 1, Line 1" and the change is not made. What I'd like to do is to give the user a dialog box notifying him of the error. Is there a way to have a sub-routine or stored procedure be triggered when a message of this type is generated?
My specs are: W2K pro clients, SQL2K on an NT4 sp6a server. Application is written in VB6.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a need when a Update, Insert or Delete is done to a record in DB "A", it will send the appropriate UID to a different table in different DB "B".
My first thought was to have a trigger on the table in DB "A" simply call a stored procedure on DB "B" and do the UID.
However - my question is what is the best approach and what's the best way to establish the connection to DB "B" for the UID from within DB "A"? We can't use linked servers - DNSLESS string would be the preferred connect way. Not sure how to execute it within a trigger.
Is even using a Trigger to Stored Proc the best way?
What about Transaction Replication - which I've never attempted - is that a better way?
Just looking for some guidance here so I don't needlessly burn time down a path that isn't recommended or simply won't work.
Thanks as always for your input,
Peter
Hi,
I build a local cube from a relation database. In the database there are 1:n relations.
Is there a way to handle 1:n relations?
For example:
I have a table LOGGEDFLAW and a table LOGGEDREASON with a 1:n relation between them. We create a select statement of these tables and as an result we get duplicate records of LOGGEDFLAW each time more than 1 record of LOGGEDREASON are associated to 1 record of LOGGEDFLAW - this is the standard result I get with an relational JOIN operation. Now I want to count the LOGGEDFLAWs without the duplicates generated by the 1:n relationship.
Best regards,
Thorsten
