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 very
large database(130M records) in ms sql2000 and think I need to front
end 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 of
a 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. In
access I put "total:=hours*rate" and a new column would be created
which would contain the total.
3) I normally would create a form in access from which the access
queries would pull their variables and then insert those variables in
the queries or reports, etc. How would this be accomplished using
sql.
4) Lastly and probably most basic. How does a "real" sql developer
create reports and forms to interact with the enduser? I am using
access as a front end, but am open to suggestions.
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.
Hi i got errro mess "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function" from this below. Anyone how can give me a hint what cause this, and how i can solve it? if i remove whats whitin thoose [] it works, i dont use [] in the code :) colums: VLF_InfectionDestination is nvarchar 254
SELECT TOP 10 tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName, COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) AS number FROM tb_AVVirusLog INNER JOIN __CustomerMachines002 ON tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_ComputerName = __CustomerMachines002.FalseName WHERE (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (__CustomerMachines002.folder_id = @folderId) [OR (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_InfectionDestination LIKE N'%@%')] GROUP BY tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName HAVING (NOT (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName LIKE N'cookie')) ORDER BY COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) DESC
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!!
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>
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.
I have a requirement where, I need to get the value of parameter from a query string of url and use it in my report. Ex:- http://www.mysite.com?name=bobby
From the above url, I have to take the value of name and be able to use it in my report query or assign to a parameter.
I have a boolean parameter on my report that the user will enter. Currently, it shows as an option button with True/False beside each option as the words used. Is it possible to have a check box instead of an option button for the user instead? Thanks in advance!
I am trying to pass multiple values as parameters into my update command:UPDATE tblUserDetails SET DeploymentNameID = 102 WHERE ((EmployeeNumber IN (@selectedusersparam)));I develop my parameter (@selectedusersparam) using the following subroutine: Private Sub btnAddUsersToDeployment_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddUsersToDeployment.ClickDim iVal As Integer = 0Dim SelectedCollection As StringSelectedCollection = ""If (lsbUsersAvail.Items).Count > 1 ThenFor iVal = 0 To lsbUsersAvail.Items.Count - 1If lsbUsersAvail.Items(iVal).Selected = True ThenSelectedCollection = SelectedCollection & "," & lsbUsersAvail.Items(iVal).ValueEnd IfNextSelectedCollection = Mid(SelectedCollection, 2, Len(SelectedCollection))Session.Item("SelectedCollectionSession") = SelectedCollectionSqlDataSource4.Update()ltlUsersMessage.Text = String.Empty 'UPDATE tblUserDetails SET DeploymentNameID = @DeploymentNameIDparam WHERE (EmployeeNumber IN (@selectedusersparam))'SqlDataSource4.UpdateCommand = "UPDATE tblUserDetails SET DeploymentNameID = @DeploymentNameIDparam WHERE (EmployeeNumber IN (" + SelectedCollection + ")"ElseltlUsersMessage.Text = "Select users before adding to deployment. Hold Control for multiselect"End IfEnd SubFor some reason the query does not pass the parameters which are "21077679,22648722,22652940,21080617" into the queryI don't understand why.
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).
I have the follwoing stored procedure:ALTER procedure [dbo].[up_GetExecutionContext](@ExecutionGUID int = null) asbeginset nocount ondeclare@s varchar(500)declare @i intset @s = ''select @s = @s + EventType + ','-- Dynamically build the list ofeventsfrom(select distinct top 100 percent [event] as EventTypefrom dbo.PackageStepwhere (@ExecutionGUID is null or PackageStep.packagerunid =@ExecutionGUID)order by 1) as xset @i = len(@s)select case @iwhen 500 then left(@s, @i - 3) + '...'-- If string is too long thenterminate with '...'else left(@s, @i - 1) -- else just remove the final commaend as 'Context'set nocount offend --procedureGOWhen I run this and pass in a value of NULL, things work fine. When Ipass in an actual value (i.e. 15198), I get the following message:Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function.There is no SUBSTRING being used anywhere in the query and thedatatypes look okay to me.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!!
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.
I have a SP that inserts data into a table with an identity column I want to get that id and use it in my response.redirect however I keep getting 0 back instead of the identity.

I have a requirement to show the parent value which is passed and also all the leaf member details in MDX. For example in Adventure works, if I pass Bikes as the value in MDX, the results should display Bikes along with All the child member names as a measure value in SSAS MDX. I only have one hierarchy with Product Category-> Subcategory-> Product.  I am trying to use the following MDX but I am getting all the members. I need to get only Bikes in my report.  WITH MEMBER [Prod_Passed] AS SETTOSTR(AXIS(1)) MEMBER [Prod_Child] AS DESCENDANTS ([Dim Product].[Hierarchy].CURRENTMEMBER,,LEAVES).item(0).NAME MEMBER [Child_Value] AS ([Dim Product].[Hierarchy].CURRENTMEMBER,[Measures].[Sales Amount]) SELECT [Dim Product].[Hierarchy].[Product Category].&[1] * [Dim Product].[Product Key].[Product Key].MEMBERS ON ROWS, {[Measures].[Sales Amount],[Prod_Passed],[Prod_Child],[Child_Value]} ON COLUMNS FROM [AdvWorks]
select substring(ISNULL(CAST(FullAdress AS NVARCHAR(MAX)),''),1,charindex(',',ISNULL(CAST(FullAdress AS NVARCHAR(MAX)),''))-1) from tbl_lrf_company_details_with_codes
but i am getting the error as "Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function." Please advice Thanks In advance
Currently i am using SQL Server 2012 Import/Export Wizard to upload data to sql tables manually. However i was trying to write a procedure to update that table. and on the time of execution, if i can pass excel. Is there any way to pass excel to stored procedure parameter?
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 ')'.
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)
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
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. Â 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 :Â
Execute statement is like Exec dbo.storedProc1Â select max(date) from table
I need to pass the above as :
Exec dbo.storedProc '2015-03-24'Â .
Somehow passing the date as parameter is giving me empty result set.
An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error: "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."
Private Sub setControls(ByVal dr As SqlDataReader) If (dr.Read()) Then '<--*******problem line*******
The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?
I can pass a parameter from an Access Query to an Access Report (MDB) by entering [Select Date] in the Query criteria and by placing an unbound control with a control source =[Select Date] on the report. I can't get this to work from a SQL Function Criteria to an unbound control on the Access Data Project Report. In the Function Criteria, I enter @SelectDate. In the Report control, I enter @SelectDate and it gives me an 'Invalide Column Name' error. Any idea how I can pass a parameter from a SQL Function to an ADP report?
THANKS!
p.s. I tried searching for other postings on this without any luck.
I have been attempting to build a search engine that searches a database full of invoices. The user will enter in a invoice number and then the results will be returned if the exact invoice exists and if the record belongs to the user. My first attempt has involved the use of a SQL Datasource to pass a stored procedure based on what is in the search textbox and the information in the cookie about the user. I was hoping that on the btnsearch.click event that I could somehow return the stored procedure in the SQL DataSource. My next step was to make the result (if exists) part of the query string like this: Response.Redirect("~/Invoice.aspx?Invoice=?"+ SQLRETURNEDVALUE)
I'm looking for any help to a possible way to use my idea or any other ideas to get a invoice number and place it into a query string so that the result can be fetched on the next page. Thanks
I am using sqljdbc41.jar to connect with MSSQL database, it is working fine on my local machine.Where as on the remote server, same class giving me error
