Transact SQL :: Quotes Around Retrieved Date To Be Passed As Parameter To Stored Procedure

May 4, 2015

I'm trying to replace a view with stored procedure for faster performance. the View is called by end user using a query as below, I need to pass the date as parameter for sp to execute with quotes for it to execute with correct results.  I tried to pass the date as parameter but could not execute stored procedure with correct results. Is there any way to put quotes around returned date from sub query : 

Execute statement is like
Exec dbo.storedProc1  select max(date) from table

I need to pass the above as  :

Exec dbo.storedProc '2015-03-24'  .

Somehow passing the date as parameter is giving me empty result set.

RS 2005: Stored Procedure With Parameter It Runs In The Data Tab But The Report Parameter Is Not Passed To It

Feb 19, 2007

Hello,
since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.

I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest]
@Name nvarchar(20)= ''

AS
BEGIN

declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);

SET NOCOUNT ON
set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table'
if (@Name <> '')
begin
set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + ''''
end
EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery
end

Inside my business Intelligence Project I created:
-the shared data source with the connection String
- a data set :
CommandType = Stored Procedure
Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest
When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.

Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter...
So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name
allow blank value is checked and is non-queried

the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!

What is wrong? What I forgot??

Thankx for any help!

Date Periods

Jun 20, 2007

Hi, this is my first post here, i'm working on a view wich I have to display the results by period.
1st period - Current month
2nd period - Last month
3rd period - Month before last
and so on.

How can I achieve this? of course I have a column wich has the date I want to use, I was thinking on semthing like:

case when DATEDIFF(M, TRXDATE, getdate()) <= 0 then ammount END as Period1
(TRXDATE and ammount are columns on my table)

Any ideas? would this work?

Thanks for your replies

Number Of 'Periods' In A Date Range

Feb 10, 2006

Guys
Date brain killer - I have a startdate and enddate and need, for a given period length in months, to identify the number
of periods betwen the startdate and enddate
so for example

DECLARE @Periods TABLE
(
StartDate datetime,
Enddate datetime,
NumberOfMonthsInPeriod INT ,
TotPeriodsINT
)

-- Initial data
insert @Periods
(
StartDate ,
Enddate ,
NumberOfMonthsInPeriod ,
TotPeriods-- for this illustration, initialised to 0 but need to be UPDATEd as per detail below
)

select
'30-Sep-2005',
'10-Apr-2009',
1 -- 1 month period
0
union all
select
'30-Sep-2005',
'10-Apr-2009',
3 -- 3 month period
0
union all
select
'30-Sep-2005',
'10-Apr-2009',
6 -- 6 month period
0

The following rules regarding periods apply
Each 1 (NumberOfMonthsInPeriod) month period is as would be expected ie
01-Jan - 31 Jan
01-Feb - 28-Feb (ie 1st March - 1 day which would deal with leap years - dateadd(...)
and so on to December

Each 3 (NumberOfMonthsInPeriod) month period is one of the following 'bands' per year
01-Jan - 31-Mar
01-Apr - 30-Jun
01-Jul - 30-Sep
01-Oct - 31-Dec

Each 6 (NumberOfMonthsInPeriod) month period is one of the following
01-Jan - 30-Jun
01-Jul - 31-Dec

I need to derive TotPeriods as follows:

For the row where NumberOfMonthsInPeriod = 1, the first period ie the one the start date falls within is 01-Sep-2005 to 30-Sep-2005, second is 01-Oct-2005 - 31-Oct-2005 and so on until
last period ie the one the end datye falls within is 01-Apr-2009 - 30-Apr-2009, a TotPeriods value of 44

For the row where NumberOfMonthsInPeriod = 3, first period is 01-Jul-2005 to 30-Sep-2005, second is 01-Oct-2005 - 31-Dec-2005 and so on until
last period is 01-Apr-2009 - 30-Jun-2009, a TotPeriods value of 16

For the row where NumberOfMonthsInPeriod = 6, first period is 01-Jul-2005 to 31-Dec-2005, second is 01-Jan-2006 - 30-Jun-2006 and so on until
last period is 01-Jan-2009 - 30-Jun-2009, a TotPeriods value of 8

Hope this is clear and thanks in advance

SQL Server 2012 :: CTE To Return All Periods Between First And Last Transaction Date

Jan 21, 2014

I'm trying to create a cte to return a list of lots and every period between the first and last transaction date for each lot. I've gotten this far:

SELECTIntLotKey
,DATEPART(YYYY, StartDate)StartYear
,DATEPART(MM, StartDate)StartPeriod
,DATEPART(YYYY, EndDate)EndYear
,DATEPART(MM, EndDate)EndPeriod

[Code] ....

This gives me the following results:

IntLotKeyStartYearStartPeriodEndYearEndPeriod
271532013120135
28468201312201312
2846920131201312
2847020131201312
28472201312201312
593022013120131
593032013120131

Now what I need is something that looks like this:

LotKeyYearPeriod
2715320131
2715320132
2715320133
2715320134
2715320135

[Code] .....

Some lots may not have any transactions for some of the periods between the start and end dates but I need to report every period between the start and end period for each lot. I have a period table that I thought I could use but haven't come up with a way to get the results I'm after.

Transact SQL :: Date Value Between One Of The Calendar Periods In Multiple Rows?

Aug 20, 2015

Question: How to determine if a date value was between one of the date periods that appear in multiple rows?

Background: We have a table of "license valid" periods, wherein each license can have one or more rows.  (As you know, a driver's license can be started, expired, renewed, suspended, reinstated, revoked, etc.)  Instead of of having a license activity table--from which valid license periods could be extrapolated--we store just the periods for which a license was valid.

My task is to take a list of licenses and specific dates and determine if each license was valid as of that date, returning either true or false.  What is the best way to accomplish this?

DECLARE @ValidityInQuestion TABLE (
LicenseID int
, DateValidityInQuestion date);

DECLARE @LicenseValidPeriods TABLE (
LicenseID int
, BeginDate date
, EndDate date);

[Code] ...

 How then do I query both tables in order to get the same result that results from the following query?

SELECT
12345 AS LicenseID
, '2015-01-15' AS DateValidityInQuestion
, 1 AS LicenseActive
UNION
SELECT
67890
, '2015-02-04'
, 0;

I assume I need to join on the LicenseID columns, but my understanding stops there.

How To Get Todays Date In Format YY/MM/DD And To Compare It To Another Date Passed Into The Sql

Dec 11, 2007

I need to do the following and am hoping someone can help me out.
I have C#(asp.net app) that will call a stored procedure. The C# will pass in a date to thestored procedure. The date is in the format YY/MM/DD. Once inside of the stored procedure, the datepassed into the stored proc needs to be compared to todays date. Todays date must be determined inthe SQL.
So basically here is my pseudo code for what I am trying to accomplish. Basically I just am afterthe comparison of the two values:
If @BeginDate < TodaysDate
The difficult part is how to obtain the value for "TodaysDate"
Taking into consideration that "TodaysDate" should probably be in the format of YY/MM/DD considering that is how the date it is to be compared with is being passed in.
Can someone please code this out for me in Microsoft SQL. I would be forever grateful.

Make Use Of An Passed XML Parameter

Nov 19, 2007

I have tested the following code, and it works for me:

DECLARE @XML XML
SET @XML = '
<DocumentElement>
<data>
<item code="ABCDEFG" quantity="1" sort="0" />
<item code="XCFVGBF" quantity="1" sort="0" />
<item code="ABCDEFG" quantity="10" sort="0" />
</data>
</DocumentElement>'

SELECT SUM(x.qty * ISNULL(p.price_mn,0))
FROM (SELECT [Code] = A.A.value('@code','varchar(20)'),
[Qty] = A.A.value('@quantity','INT')
FROM @xml.nodes('/DocumentElement/data/item') AS A(A)) X
LEFT JOIN productprice_t P ON p.code_id = x.code


The question is, how can I do this if the XML is in a different format & doesn't use any attributes?
So it looks like this (which I'm getting from an ADO.Net datatable using .WriteXML):
<DocumentElement>
<data>
<code>ABCDEFG</mercurycode>
<quantity>1</quantity>
<sort>0</sort>
</data>
<data>
<mercurycode>XCDFEG</mercurycode>
<quantity>2</quantity>
<sort>0</sort>
</data>
<data>
<code>ABCDEFG</mercurycode>
<quantity>10</quantity>
<sort>0</sort>
</data>
</DocumentElement>

Parameter Value Not Being Passed For My SProc

Mar 19, 2007

I am quite new to SSRS and am having some difficulties in trying to develop a new report via Business Intelligence Studio based on a stored procedure which requires the input of 1 parameter, and also has an optional parameter which I default to NULL in the sproc.

When I create my dataset I select the given sproc I want and when I attempt to execute it, I am prompted for the parameters the sproc expects.

However, when I enter a value in the dialog for the required Parameter I get a SQL error indicating that the parameter the sproc expects was not supplied. I have profiled the call and see the attempt to execute the sproc, but no parameter value.

Can some one tell me why the value I enter is not being passed to the sproc in my database ? Is there some special syntax that I need to use ?

I have scanned a number of sites & through the books I have and can't find anything on this. From what I have read, when I exec my sproc the parameters get recongnized & I can just enter my values. This doesn't seem to be the case.

Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated !!!
Thanks.

What Value Needs To Be Passed To Parameter In WHERE To Negate The Filtering

Apr 9, 2008

I am using two drop downs, like so:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ChurchStateDrop" runat="server"                              DataSourceID="ChurchStateDropData" DataTextField="State"                              DataValueField="State" AutoPostBack="True"                              onselectedindexchanged="ChurchStateDrop_SelectedIndexChanged"                             AppendDataBoundItems="True">        <asp:ListItem Value="?????" Selected="True" Text="All States" /></asp:DropDownList>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ChurchCityDrop" runat="server"                             DataSourceID="ChurchCityDropData" DataTextField="City"                              DataValueField="City" AutoPostBack="True"                             onselectedindexchanged="ChurchCityDrop_SelectedIndexChanged"                             AppendDataBoundItems="True">        <asp:ListItem Value="?????" Selected="True"  Text="All Cities" /></asp:DropDownList>
I have ????? in the value fields because I don't know what value needs to be passed to negate filtering (to choose all). The Dropdowns have the following SQLDatasources:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="ChurchStateDropData" runat="server"                               ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:tceDatabaseOnlineSQLConnection %>"                                SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT                                                                        [State]                                                             FROM [ChurchView]"                               DataSourceMode="DataReader"></asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="ChurchCityDropData" runat="server"                                ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:tceDatabaseOnlineSQLConnection %>"                               SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT                                                                        [City]                                                             FROM [ChurchView]                                                          WHERE ([State] = @State)"                               DataSourceMode="DataReader">                               <SelectParameters>                                 <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="ChurchStateDrop"                                                                   Name="State" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String" />                               </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
Now, lets say I wanted to pass a value to the WHERE statement in ChurchCityDropData to coincide with 'All States', what would I replace value="??????" with? Now you may think I'm crazy to do such a thing, but this actually has to do with adding a Denomination Dropdown to show Denominations from all states or all cities. I will figure out the best logic for that later, I just want to know the wildcard to pass to the parameter to choose all states (negate filtering).

How To Get Parameter Passed To SQL Query From Access

Jul 23, 2005

I am new to sql and very familiar with access. I am using a verylarge database(130M records) in ms sql2000 and think I need to frontend it with access for reports and forms, etc..I have some questions:1) Is there a way in SQL to prompt a user for input at the running ofa query like the [what is your name] construct in an access query?2) I can't seem to create calculated fields in a view in sql. Inaccess I put "total:=hours*rate" and a new column would be createdwhich would contain the total.3) I normally would create a form in access from which the accessqueries would pull their variables and then insert those variables inthe queries or reports, etc. How would this be accomplished usingsql.4) Lastly and probably most basic. How does a "real" sql developercreate reports and forms to interact with the enduser? I am usingaccess as a front end, but am open to suggestions.Thanks,Brad

WHERE Clause Using Different Column Passed By Parameter

Jul 30, 2007

Hi all,

I'd think this is possible but I'm having trouble getting data returned from the query. Fields PART_NUMBER and INTERNAL_SKU exist in the SKU table. This will be inside a SP. If user passes 'PN' as first parameter then I'd need to have the WHERE clause by PART_NUMBER, if he passes 'SK' (or anything else for now) then the WHERE clause shold be by SKU.

Can't I just build the WHERE by replacing @SearchField with its value ? I've looked up the CASE statement but I don't think it does what I need.


DECLARE @strSearchType varchar(2)

DECLARE @strSearchValue varchar(15)

DECLARE @SearchField varchar(15)

set @strSearchType = 'PN'

set @strSearchValue = '1234567'


IF @strSearchType = 'PN'

begin

set @SearchField = 'PART_NUMBER'

end

ELSE

begin

set @SearchField = 'INTERNAL_SKU'

end

SELECT

SKU as 'SKU',

PART_NUMBER as 'PartNumber',

DESCRIPTION as 'Description'

FROM SKUs

WHERE @SearchField = @strSearchValue

FOR XML PATH('SKU'), ROOT('Response')


Thanks,

ST

No Date Passed

Aug 18, 2004

I want to update a record that has a datetime field in it. But what if there is no parameter given for that field, i.e. what is the correct type/value to pass as parameter?

Example: A DOB field for a user profile, but the user doesn't enter his birthday

This is some example code that I use to update:

Private Sub UpdateDOB(ByVal dob As Date)

Dim parameters As SqlParameter() = { _
New SqlParameter("@Birthday", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8)}

parameters(0).Value = dob

'Run Stored Procedure

This gives me the exception "SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM" when I don't pass a valid date. I tried passing Nothing but same error (in this case it convert dob to "#12:00:00 AM#")

The only thing I can think of is to use Date.MaxValue and then check in application logic, but there must be a better way!

SQL Limit Of Demilted Pipe Characters Passed As Parameter To Sql Query

Nov 16, 2004

I am not sure about the architecture of the Issue Tracker and hence not sure if it applies here. But I will post in any case and wait for users on this forums comments as well.



===========Earlier post==================
This question is regarding the architecture of TimeEntry.
In some programs it builds an arrayList for Master-detail type of relationship and when user is ready to save it by clicking 'submit' it build a variable with pipe delimited fields.
This is then passed to a sql query.

This to me does not seem to be an efficient manner. Because the max character is 1500 chars as parameter to SQL query.


I was wondering if instead I could store it as an XML and then use the XML to import in to SQL.


Any ideas is greatly appreciated, I am running in to problems where my variable construct does increase to more than 1500 chars. Any thoughts are much appreciated in this regards.

Regards,
MillenniumIte.

Error: Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The SUBSTRING Function.

Sep 28, 2007

Hi,

I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure:
**************
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime
as
begin
DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)

truncate table ForEthnicPivot

INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot
SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity
FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode
where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate
GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team

SET @Teams = ''
--// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.

SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],'
FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team
--// Remove the trailing comma

SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1)
--// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list
--// of dates for the columns
EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' )
end
************

I can call the function:
exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'

and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error
message:

There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.

Anyone had similar error and sorted it?

Cheers

Polda

SQL XML :: Scalar Valued Function Slow Querying XML Passed As Parameter

May 28, 2015

I have a procedure that calls a SVF to convert an xmldocument. The ultimate purpose is to update the xml in a column in a multi-million row table. The xml is stored as varchar(MAX), it was supposed to carry any type of text, initially at least.

My question is: why is the xml-parsing performed inside the function much slower when i pass the xmldocument as type xml than when it is passed as varchar(MAX) and the CAST to xml is within the function? Does processing the xml input parameter in SlowFunction involve expensive crossing of some context border?

The two versions of the SVF (they return the rowcount in this simplified example):

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[FastFunction]
(
@inDetaljerText varchar(MAX)
)
RETURNS int

[Code] ....

The two versions of the SP

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[FastProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
select
dbo.FastFunction(al.Detaljer)

[Code] ....

Sql 2005 ... Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The SUBSTRING Function.

Oct 9, 2006

Hi,
I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error,
€œSQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. €œ
Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look.
The package runs without error when I execute the package itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lori
