Hi friends,
I want to select only filename column of sp_helpdb's output.But I don't know how should I do this? Other way is doing a direct select from sysfiles or sysdatabases but as you know microsoft doesn't recommand this way. Also I can select that filed in my application level but it is strange for me: Of course sql server should has a proper way to do a select from output curosr of this procedure,Doesn't it?
-Thanks in advance
Hey,
I want to do a 'select db_size from sp_helpdb where name = @DB;'
The problem is that SQL doesn't interpret sp_helpdb as a table :-(
How can I query the result of this stored procedure?
Thx
Has anyone every seen this error message? If so, what caused it?
Server: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_helpdb, Line 53
Cannot insert the value NULL into column '', table ''; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
Thanks
i use sp_helpdb on one of my databases everyday to estimate growth.
3 days in a row now i get the same results how could this be every day there are about 30000 record that gets inserted to my tables inside the db. should the information changed since it is growing in size ?
Well i have been using sp_helpdb 'mydatabasename' to get the info for 3 consecutive days now and it returns the same result every day in KB for data files and in MB overall database size. Wich is kinda impossible since this is a warehouse and there are about 30000 records insert every night what is going on. plz help
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have MOM 2005 installed to monitor all our sql servers. In one of the sql server on a specific db, I get error alerts when running the sp_helpdb error.
The error output is
"Server: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_helpdb, Line 53
Cannot insert the value NULL into column '', table ''; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated."
I checked the sp_helpdb stored procedure and here is where it fails:
insert into #spdbdesc (dbname, owner, created, dbid, cmptlevel)
select name, suser_sname(sid), convert(nvarchar(11), crdate), dbid, cmptlevel from master.dbo.sysdatabases
where (@dbname is null or name = @dbname)
I understand this is a temporary table created by the stored procedure to insert all the db info.
I ran a query as follows:
select name, suser_sname(sid), crdate, dbid, cmptlevel
from master.dbo.sysdatabases
The output is
DB Name User Name Cr date db id cmpt

tempdb sa2005-11-29 19:10:48.450280
The problem is in RMSummary database and the "dbo" login does not
have a username.
How do I add a User Name "sa" to the DB Owner "dbo" for the RMSummary database?
I did try the following things with no success:
1. Try to delete the 'dbo' user in 'RMSummary' database so that
I can add a new login name as 'dbo' and username is 'sa'.
Error message is 'dbo' owns some objects and does not get deleted.
2. I tried sp_changedbowner but it does not work either.
Any help on this quickly is much appreciated.
Thanks

I have a strange question and hope someone can shed some light on theproblem.First let me give you my scenario. We are using doubletake to replicate ourdatabase server files between the local site and off site. I will namethese servers srv1a (local) and srv1b (remote). It now time to move to newservers. These servers will be srv2a (local) and 2b (remote).Currently srv1a replicates to srv1b. The sqlserver service is off on srv1b.It is only replicating the database files. Works great.Now the problem. srv1a and srv1b have all the logs and data files on thed: drive. On the new servers (2a and 2b) we will place the log files one: and the data files on f:. This is the case for all databases exceptthe system databases, which will reside all ldf and mdf on f:.In order to move to the new servers, as a test we began replicating to srv1ato svr2a. It placed all the system dbs on srv2a d: drive and all otherfiles in the new structure (e: and f:). There is some work that you mustdo to move the master, msdb, model, and temp to the new location (change thestartup parameters and detaching and reattaching some other databases). Allthis works great and we have everything up and running.As part of a sanity check, I ran the following statementsselect name, filename from master..sysdatabases where name = 'master'GOexec sp_helpdb master.GOresults arename filenamemaster d:Microsoft SQLServerMSSQLdatamaster.mdf(1 row(s) affected)name db_size owner dbid createdmaster 22.00 MB sa 1 Aug 6 2000 Status=ONLINE,name fileid filenamefilegroup size maxsize growth usagemaster 1 F:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDatamaster.mdfPrimary 19072 KB Unlimited 10% data onlymastlog 2 F:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDatamastlog.ldfNULL 3456 KB Unlimited 10% log onlyIf you notice that sysdatabases table is showing the master files on D: butsp_help is showing on F: F: is the correct location. Also my startparameters is-dF:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDatamaster.mdf-lF:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDatamastlog.ldf-eF:Microsoft SQL Server DataMSSQLDataERRORLOGAny ideas why the two are not showing the same thing? Everything is workingfine and all other databases (sp_helpdb) is correct and sp_helpfile masteris showing the same thing as sp_helpdb master. Since I though sp_helpdb wasquerying sysdatabases, I am confused as to why this is happening.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post.

I have a table: it contains a list of data belonging to a name, however the field 'name' defines the source.
name |field1 |field1data |
test1 |in |123
test1 |out |345
test2 |in |123
test2 |out |456
test3 |in |123
test3 |out |456
I'm trying to get the data out of the database in a columed format, I would be quite comfortable doing this if 'in' and 'out' where there own field. The output i'm trying to get is:
name |data |data |
test1 |123 |456
test2 |123 |456
test3 |123 |456
in an ideal world i'd like to be able to have the header the name of the field data - eg
name |in |out |
test1 |123 |456
test2 |123 |456
test3 |123 |456
I can use - select name,field1data from table where field1 in ("in","out")but this returns each piece of data as a new row - eg:
name |field1data |
test1 |123
test1 |456
test2 |123
test2 |456
test3 |123
test3 |456

thanks for reading!
Here is my problem: I have a strored procedure that inserts some records
into one table and then selects some records from another table at the end.
The stored procedure takes several parameters, first one of them is marked as
OUTPUT. I'm using it to return an id of the inserted record. The procedure is called from asp.net code with first parameter set as ParameterDirection.InputOutput (tried with just Output as well). Now for the problem: if the the select statement at the end returns 0 records everything works and i my first parameter contains the @@IDENTITY value from the insert statement like it is supposed to.
If the select statement at the end returns 1 or more records my output parameter is not updated at all and contains the same value as before the procedure was run. All the records are inserted correctly.
if i try to return the @@identity as a plain select statement instead of through the parameter
i get System.DBNull.
I hope you can shed some light on this for me. Here is my stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE cwSaveProductInquiry
@inquiryId int OUTPUT,
@libraryName nvarchar(500),
@contactName nvarchar(200),
@address nvarchar(100),
@city nvarchar(50),
@state nvarchar(3),
@zip nvarchar(10),
@phone nvarchar(50),
@email nvarchar(100),
@comment nvarchar(3000),
@productIds nvarchar(2000)
AS
INSERT INTO INQUIRY (LibraryName, ContactName, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone, Email, Comment) VALUES(@libraryName, @contactName, @address, @city, @state, @zip, @phone, @email,@comment)
--i tried including this statement at the end as well but that did not do the
--trick either
select @inquiryId=@@IDENTITY FROM INQUIRY
set nocount on
declare @separator_position int -- This is used to locate each separator character
declare @objectId varchar(200) -- this holds each array value as it is returned
if(@productIds is not null)
begin
while patindex('%,%' , @productIds) <> 0
begin
select @separator_position = patindex('%,%' , @productIds)
select @objectId= left(@productIds, @separator_position - 1)
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_INQUIRY_LOOKUP (ProductId,InquiryId) VALUES(@objectId, @inquiryId)
select @productIds = stuff(@productIds, 1, @separator_position, '')
end
end
set nocount off
Select Distinct Email from vPRODUCT_CONTACT WHERE ProductId in
(Select ProductId From Product_Inquiry_Lookup Where InquiryId=@inquiryId)
GO
I have a stored procedure where in a cursor I create a dynamic select
statement. If I have a non-zero result set (check @@rowcount) I output a message. The problem is I do not know how to supress the output of the
execute of the dynamically created select statement. All I want going to
output is the message. I know ISQL has this function, and so does EM. How do I do it totally within a stored procedure.
I'm looking for some good hints and tips for reprogrammin an old VB module I just found.
Basically what it does, is receive an input parameter (an int), does a select [name row] from Names where Name_id = [input parameter] and turns this into a string if multiplenames appear.
E.g. result set: John, Josh, Jock turns it into string "John Josh Jock".
So its piece of cake creating a stored procedure selecting data on the base of an input parameter. Select X from Y where Z = @input... the trick is, I don't know how to do arrays in TSQL as in VB.
In the VB edition I create an array, load the names into it, I do a count on how many row the select returns and then a simple for... next adding the names to the string.
Any good examples on how to do this in a sql-server stored proc?
Thanks,
Trin
P.S. This is what I have pieced together this far:
CREATE PROCEDURE findnames
@number int
AS
DECLARE @instrument varchar(50)
DECLARE @tempinstt varchar(10)
DECLARE medlemcursor CURSOR
FOR
SELECT [MCPS Kode]
FROM DW.dbo.names(NOLOCK)
WHERE number = @number
OPEN medlemcursor
FETCH NEXT FROM medlemcursor INTO @tempinstt
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
BEGIN
SET @instrument = @instrument + @tempinstt + '-'
FETCH NEXT FROM medlemcursor INTO @tempinstt
END
CLOSE medlemcursor
DEALLOCATE medlemcursor
SELECT @instrument
GO
Just doesn't seem to work, returns NULL, even though I've checked that the cursor SELECT statement actually returns data,
Here is what I want to do.
I have a customer table with say id, firstname, lastname. I also have another table called phone number that contains multiple phone numbers based on the customer id (id, customerid, phonenumber).
Ok I want to output a record like this
firstname, lastname, phone1, phone2, phone3
I need one record per customer with as many phone numbers as they may have, I could always limit the numbers to 3 or better yet return a null if there are less then the predefined number of phone numbers.
If I try a simple join I get multiline output which is no good for me.
SELECT firstname, lastname, phonenumber
FROM customer, phone
WHERE phone.customerid = customer.id
Thanks.
If you want to return a single value should I use OUTPUT or Scaler which one is more effiecient?

I have a user login scenario where I would like to make sure that they not only exist in the user table, but also make sure there account is "verified" and "active". I'm trying to return 3 output parameters. UserID, verified, active. Is this possible?
Do I need just a select statement to do this? What is the difference between the output and select statements?
Thanks in advance.
I'm executing the following...
select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1
the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.
I was hoping a simple
"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"
would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?
this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.

Is there a way to build a select statement that will output related rows with different column data per row? I want to return something like:
rowtype| ID | value
A | 123 | alpha
B | 123 | beta
C | 123 | delta
A | 124 | some val
B | 124 | some val 2
C | 124 | some val 3
etc...
where for each ID, I have 3 rows that are associated with it and with different corresponding values.
I'm thinking that I will have to build a temp table/cursor that will get all the ID data and then loop through it to insert each rowtype data into another temp table.
i.e. each ID iteration will do something like:
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('A', 123, 'alpha')
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('B', 123, 'beta')
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('C', 123, 'delta')
etc..
After my loop, I will just do a select * from #someTempTable
Is there a better, more elegant way instead of using two temp tables? I am using MSSQL 2005
Hello,
I am facing a problem in a SELECT clause which i cannot solve.
In my SQL table ("myTable") i have a few columns ("Column1", "Column2", "TypeColumn"). When I select different columns of the table, instead of getting the value of TypeColumn, i would like to get a boolean indicating whether its value is a certain string or not.
For example, the TypeColumn accepts only a number of selected strings: "AAA", "BBB", "CCC".
when i do a select query on the table, instead of asking for TypeColumn i would like to ask a boolean value of 1 if TypeColumn is "AAA" and 0 if TypeColumn is "BBB" or "CCC". Also, i would like to make this query while I am also fetching the other columns. And i would like to use one query to get all that. I thought something like thsi would work:
SELECT Column1 AS Col1, Column2 AS Col2, IF(TypeColumn = "AAA", 1, 0) AS Col3
FROM myTable
but this doesn't work in SQL 2005!
Is it possible to do something similar in SQL 2005 using one query only? i am trying to avoid multiple queries for this.
thanks a lot for your help!
