How To Check Whether A Procedure Is Currently Running...
Dec 13, 2007
Hi All,
I have a long running procedure (batch job) which will take quite some time to complete. I need to run a fixed number (configurable value) of copies simultaneously, i.e., either two copies or three copies at a time. (I don't want to use Service Broker for this purporse now)
For this I need to know whether this procedure is currenly being executed, and how many copies. Now I'm maintaing a flag in a table where this will get updated once the procedure starts and ends. This is not 100% reliable and need a manual check occasionally.
I would like to know, whether there is an easier method to find whether this procedure is being executed currently ?

I have a stored procedure that references another stored procedure on a linked server. I would like to check if the linked server is running prior to accessing the stored procedure. Everything I have tried returns either message 11 or 17 and terminates the stored procedure. I would like to do some cleanup before the termination. Is there any way to check this?
I have my SQL server installed and running on a windows 2003 server. Sometimes, the server stops unexpectedly. I want to know if there is any mechanism to alert as and when the SQL server or SQL server agent goes down.
I guess everything is a windows service. Can we have a mechanism to test this service from a script and send an alert mail when the server goes down? How can this be done from a script?
I would like to now how can I check if a specific package is running now, at the moment.

Hey Guys, I hope someone can help on here with this. I have this Database where techs are scheduled and dispatched to perform tasks based on skus.

I've a stored procedure which retrieves based on different criterias. I added one more critieria - to display a column based on a range of values. The values are @OriginalMin and @OriginalMax. I declared the variables and gave the conditions. But still set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF GO ALTER procedure [dbo].[USP_Account_Search_Mod]@OriginalMin DECIMAL=0 ,@OriginalMax DECIMAL=0 AS DECLARE @CRI8 VARCHAR(500)SELECT @CRI1='' SET @CRI8='AND OriginalBalance >=@OriginalMin AND OriginalBalance<=@OriginalMax' SELECT @Criteria = ......+ @CRI8 When I execute this stored procedure, I get the following error message. SELECT * FROM dbo.UDV_Tier1Accounts WHERE CUSTOMER IN (SELECT CUSTOMERNUMBER FROM dbo.UDF_GetUsersCustomers(3)) AND Customer = '00001'AND OriginalBalance >=@OriginalMin AND OriginalBalance<=@OriginalMax UNION SELECT * FROM dbo.UDV_Tier2Accounts WHERE CUSTOMER IN (SELECT CUSTOMERNUMBER FROM dbo.UDF_GetUsersCustomers(3)) AND Customer = '00001'AND OriginalBalance >=@OriginalMin AND OriginalBalance<=@OriginalMaxORDER BY NAME ASC Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 1 Must declare the variable '@OriginalMin'. Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 1 Must declare the variable '@OriginalMin Could someone tell what's wrong with the procedure? For convenience, I've included only the latest critieria I added.

I have a number of stored procedures that run one after the other. How do you code to get the success or failure so that some logic can be applied accordingly? I've heard of the TRY CATCH structure, but I new and have yet to use it. How many different ways can success or failure be handled in code?
Hi guys,I have written a stored procedure to check for date range, say if the user enters a value for 'city-from' , 'city-to', 'start-date' and end-date, this stored procedure should verify these 2 dates against the dates stored in the database. If these 2 dates had already existed for the cities that they input, the stored procedure should return 1 for the PIsExists parameter. Below's how I constructed the queries: 1 ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.DateCheck 2 @PID INTEGER = -1 OUTPUT, 3 @PCityFrom Char(3) = '', 4 @PCityTo Char(3) = '', 5 @PDateFrom DATETIME = '31 Dec 9999', 6 @PDateTo DATETIME = '31 Dec 9999', 7 @PIsExists BIT = 1 OUTPUT 8 AS 9 10 CREATE TABLE #TmpControlRequst 11 ( 12 IDINTEGER, 13 IsExistsCHAR(1) 14 ) 15 /*###Pseudo 16 1. Check the Date From and Date To 17 -- select all the value equal to parameter cityFrom and cityTo 18 -- insert the selection records into tmp table 19 --*/ 20 INSERT INTO #TmpControlRequst 21 (ID, IsExists) 22 SELECT ID, 23 IsExists = CASE WHEN DateFrom <> '31 Dec 9999' AND DateTo <> '31 Dec 9999' 24 AND @PDateFrom <= DateFrom AND @PDateFrom <= DateTo 25 AND @PDateTo >= DateFrom AND @PDateTo <= DateTo THEN 1 26 WHEN DateFrom <> '31 Dec 9999' AND DateTo <> '31 Dec 9999' 27 AND @PDateFrom >= DateFrom AND @PDateFrom <= DateTo 28 AND @PDateTo >= DateFrom AND @PDateTo <= DateTo THEN 1 29 WHEN DateFrom <> '31 Dec 9999' AND DateTo <> '31 Dec 9999' 30 AND @PDateFrom >= DateFrom AND @PDateFrom <= DateTo 31 AND @PDateTo >= DateFrom AND @PDateTo >= DateTo THEN 1 32 WHEN DateFrom <> '31 Dec 9999' AND DateTo <> '31 Dec 9999' 33 AND @PDateFrom <= DateFrom AND @PDateFrom <= DateTo 34 AND @PDateTo >= DateFrom AND @PDateTo >= DateTo THEN 1 35 ELSE 0 END 36 FROM RequestTable 37 WHERE ID <> @PID 38 AND CityFrom = @PCityFrom 39 AND CityTo = @PCityTo 40 41 --======== FINAL RESULT 42 -- For tmp table:- 43 -- isExists = 1 ==> date lapse 44 -- isExists = 0 ==> date ok 45 -- if count for (isExists = 1) in tmp table is > 0 then return 1 and data not allow for posting 46 SELECT @PIsExists = CASE WHEN COUNT(*) > 0 THEN 1 47 ELSE 0 END 48 FROM #TmpControlRequst 49 WHEREIsExists = 1 50 51 SELECT @PIsExists 52 --========= 53 54 DROP TABLE #TmpControlRequst 55 56 --========= 57 RETURN(0)However, when I run this stored procedure, 'PIsExists' would always return -1. I am positive that the values that I passed in, had already existed in the database. Any idea what might be causing this problem? Thanks in advance

Hi all,How do you select and check a boolean value within a stored procedure? I don't know if this is correct or not:DECLARE @CheckStatus bitSELECT @CheckStatus = PREF_STATUS FROM tblPrefsWHERE [PREF_ID] = @PREF_IDIF (@CheckStatus IS FALSE) -- DO SOMETHINGIF (@CheckStatus IS TRUE) -- DO SOMETHING But I'm not sure if what I've used (IS FALSE/TRUE) is the correct way? "PREF_STATUS" is a bit column in my table.Thanks.
