How To Include Variable In CURSOR SQL Filter Clause?
Jul 23, 2005
After trying every way I could come up with I can't get a filter clause
to work with a passed variable ...
I have a cursor that pulls a filter string from a table (works OK),
then I want to use that filter in a second cursor, but can't get the
syntax ...
@bakfilter is equal to "MISV2_db_%.BAK" before I try to open and fetch
from the second cursor. Here is the cursor declaration:
DECLARE curFiles CURSOR FOR
SELECT FileName, FileDate
FROM DataFile
WHERE (((Active)=1) AND ((FileName) LIKE '@bak_filter'))
ORDER BY FileDate DESC
What do I need to do to get it to use the string contained in
@bak_filter?
Thanks in advance, Jim

When I execute next query on sqlserver 6.5 nested in stored procedure I can see that 'open testCursor' selected rows using new value of @var. When I execute query on sqlserver 7.0 I can see that 'open testCursor' selected rows using value of @var before 'declare ... cursor'. Is there any way to force sqlserver 7.0 to proccess cursor like it did it before.
select @var = oldValue
declare testCursor cursor
for select someColumns
from someTable
where someColumn = @var
select @var = newValue
open testCursor
fetch next from testCursor into @someColumns
Thank's in advance.
Mirko.

Hi
I am ramesh here from go-events.com
I am using sql mail to send out emails to my mailing list
I have difficulty combining a select statement with a where clause stored in a variable inside a cursor
The users select the mail content and frequency of delivery and i deliver the mail
I use lots of queries and a stored procedure to retrieve thier preferences. In the end i use a cursor to send out mails to each of them.
Because my query is dynamic, the where clause of my select statement is stored in a variable. I have the following code
that does not work
For example
DECLARE overdue3 CURSOR
LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY
FOR SELECT DISTINCT Events.E_Name, Events.E_SDate, Events.E_City, Events.E_ID FROM Events, IndustryEvents + @sqlquery2
OPEN overdue3
I get an error message at the '+' sign
which says, cannot use empty object or column names, use a single
space if necessary
How do I combine the select statement with the where clause?
Help me...I need help urgently

We use a lot of virtual machines. I have a base VM with SQL 2005 installed. I rename this VM (i have multiple copies running) and run an old application (VB code, iterates through recordsets, etc.).
I get: Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not find server '2K3VM-DG' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
This makes sense, and I can fix it with sp_dropserver / sp_addserver [local]. Good.
The next error is puzzling though:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The cursor does not include the table being modified or the table is not updatable through the cursor.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

FROM GLF_CHART_ACCT
INNER JOIN F1ADR_ADDRESS ON (GLF_CHART_ACCT.CHART_NAME = F1ADR_ADDRESS.ENTITY_KEY1)
AND (GLF_CHART_ACCT.ACCNBRI = F1ADR_ADDRESS.ENTITY_KEY2)

HAVING CHART_NAME='ARCHART' AND GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1 <> '' AND GLF_CHART_ACCT.SELN_TYPE1_CODE = 'Trade'
AND GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1 LIKE '%" + Search + "%' ORDER BY GLF_CHART_ACCT.DESCR1;
I get errors if not all the fields are included in the group by clause.
what i dont get is why i have to create seperate groups for this query...or am i reading it wrong??
Cheers,
Justin

What is the equivalent for INCLUDE clause (in Create index syntax) in SQL Server 2000.
SQL Server 2005 will support Include clause in Create index syntax . How to attain it in SQL Server 2000
Example : I have below query executable in SQL Server 2005
CREATE INDEX Index_Name ON mytable(col1 ASC) INCLUDE (name,id);
What is the equivalent for the above query in SQL server 2000
Thanks ,

Usually it is better to include the columns in the index that are in where clause, select list and join.I am thinking that the columns in the selected list is better to keep as index columns and the columns that are in the where clause is better to keep in key columns.Where do we use join column is it better to create as main key column or included column.

I have an sql script that has 2 main blocks of Where filter which I'd call as Filter1 and Filter2 as follows:
Select
DisplayColumns...
From
InterestingTables
Where
(Filter1) --W1
AND --W2
NOT --W3
(Filter2) --W4
Note that Filter1 and Filter2 are composite filters (inner filters nested; it shouldn't matter as long as I have the outer parenthesis as above, right?).
Now, say SetF1ExF2 is the result set of the sql script above.
Additionally, let's say I obtain the result set SetF1 by having W2 to W4 commented out and SetF1AndF2 comes from commenting out W3.
Shouldn't the following hold: SetF1AndF2 = SetF1 - SetF1ExF2
I am having a discrepancy between the values with SetF1AndF2 < SetF1 - SetF1ExF2.
TIA.

I have a set of udf's dealing that return a one column table of valuesparsed from a comma delimeted string.For example:CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[udf_filter_patient](@patient_list varchar(2000))RETURNS @patient TABLE(patient_id int)ASBEGINinsert into @patientselect patient_id from patient-- parse @patient_list stuff excludedRETURNENDI have come up with the following two schemes to use these udfs. Theseexamples are obviously simplified, and I have a handful of stored proceduresthat will use between 10 or more of these filters. If the two areequivalent, I prefer Method 2 because it makes for much neater SQL whenusing many filter criteria.So my question is, will one noticebly outperform the other? Or is there abetter way in which to filter on a list of criteria?Method 1 :CREATE PROC sp__filter_open_bills@patient_list varchar(2000)ASCREATE TABLE #patient(patient_id int)INSERT INTO #patientSELECTpatient_idFROMdbo.udf_filter_patient( @patient_list )SELECT*FROMopen_billsINNER JOIN #patient on #patient.patient_id = open_bills.patient_idGOMethod 2 :CREATE PROC sp__filter_open_bills@patient_list varchar(2000)ASSELECT*FROMopen_billsWHEREopen_bills.patient_id IN ( SELECT patient_id FROMdbo.udf_filter_patient( @patient_list ) )GOThanks for the help!Chris G

I need to dynamically construct the field order of a cursor based on fixed labels from another table, but when I put that resulting query I receive the error:
Server: Msg 16924, Level 16, State 1, Line 78
Cursorfetch: The number of variables declared in the INTO list must match that of selected columns.
I have 6 fields defined in the cursor select, and 6 parameters in the fetch. The results of running the @sql portion returns valid data. Should this be possible to define a parameter containing the select clause of the cursor?
select colnum, coldesc, colname into #ae_defs from ae_adefs
select @Sql = (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NAME') +

(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NUMBER') +

(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'ACCOUNT NUMBER') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT DATE') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT TYPE') +
', DocID from ae_dtl1'
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR FOR
Select @SQL
OPEN myCursor
print @@Cursor_rows

We have Merge Replication publications for SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition subscribers.
Some articles have filter statements that send rows to multiple subscribers, based on the value of Host_Name() supplied at run-time.
Our publications work for most subscribers, but we have at least one subscriber who downloads too many rows from one of the filtered tables.
When we run the Select SQL from the article's Filter statement it returns the intended 4 rows for this subscriber.
We cut and pasted the filter statement into query analyzer, substituted the subscriber's value for Host_Name(), executed the statement, and got the proper 4 rows for this subscriber in the results.
But when this subscriber syncs her Compact Edition database it downloads 10 rows - the proper 4 rows that the filter statement should pass, plus 6 other rows that she should not download.
Our hypothesis is that the Filter statement is not properly applied to the article when this subscriber syncs.
Other subscribers get the proper rows when they sync, so the publication's filter statement works in some cases, for some values of Host_Name().
We'd like to see the application of the filter statement at run-time (sync-time), but we have not found the text of the filter statement in SQL Profiler output. Should we expect to see the text of the filter statement in SQL Profiler output?
Is there a better way to debug this error?
FYI, here's the text of the article filter statement:
SELECT <published_columns> FROM [dbo].[TBL_USER] WHERE user_sys_id in (
select u.user_sys_id
from tbl_user u
join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid
where t.terr_no_id like (
select
case (select t.data_access_qnty from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = Host_Name())
when 2 then (select t.terr_no_id from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = Host_Name())
when 3 then (select left(t.terr_no_id,5)+'%' from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = Host_Name())
end
)
)
And here's the statement we ran from Query Analyzer:
declare @id varchar(10)
select @id = 'aultnc'
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[TBL_USER] WHERE user_sys_id in (
select u.user_sys_id
from tbl_user u
join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid
where t.terr_no_id like (
select
case (select t.data_access_qnty from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = @id)
when 2 then (select t.terr_no_id from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = @id)
when 3 then (select left(t.terr_no_id,5)+'%' from tbl_user u join tbl_territory t on u.territory_gid = t.territory_gid where u.user_sys_id = @id)
end
)
)

The stored procedure, below, results in this error when I try to compile...
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertImportedReportData, Line 69
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'.
However the select statement itself runs perfectly well as a query, no errors.
The T-SQL manual says you can't use the keywords COMPUTE, COMPUTE BY, FOR BROWSE, and INTO in a cursor select statement, but nothing about plain old ORDER BYs.
What gives with this?
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure about this one so if someone could help I'd appreciate this.
As shown below I've declared a variable name1 to be used in a while statement substituting for an object name in a select statement (2000 SP3a)
and throwing the shown error. Are variables allowed to be used to substitute for object names or is there another problem? Thanks.

I am currently using a cursor to scroll through sysobjects to extract table names and then extracting relevant column names from syscolumns.
I then need to run the following script:
declare Detail_Cursor cursor for
select @colname, max(len(@colname)) from @table
The message I receive is "must declare variable @table".
Immediately prior to this script I printed out the result of @table which works fine so the variable obviously is declared and populated.
Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong or how I can get the same result.
Thanks

Hi All,
What i am trying to do is concatenate variable "@Where" with CURSOR sql statement,inside a procedure . But, it doesn't seem to get the value for
the @Where. (I tried with DEBUGGING option of Query Analyzer also).
=============================================
SET @Where = ''
if IsNull(@Input1,NULL) <> NULL
Set @Where = @Where + " AND studentid='" + @input1 +"'"
if isnull(@Input2,NULL) <> NULL
Set @Where = @Where + " AND teacherid =' " + @Input2 +"'"
DECLARE curs1 CURSOR SCROLL
FOR SELECT
firstname
FROM
school
WHERE
school ='ABC' + @where
=============================================
Please check my SQL Above and Could somebody tell me how can I attach the VARIABLE with CURSOR sql statement ?
Thanks !

Hi,
I have a problem on setting the value for the variable in a declared cursor. Below is my example, I have declared the cursor c1 once at the top in a stored procedure and open it many times in a loop by setting the variable @str_var to different values. It seems the variable cannot be set after the cursor declared. Please advise how can I solve this issue.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECLARE @str_var VARCHAR(10)
DECLARE @field_val VARCHAR(10)
DECLARE c1 CURSOR LOCAL FOR
SELECT field1 FROM tableA WHERE field1 = @str_var
WHILE (Sometime TRUE)
BEGIN
....
SET @str_var = 'set to some values, eg. ABC123, XYZ123'
OPEN c1
FETCH c1 INTO @field_val
WHILE (@@fetch_status != -1)
BEGIN
PRINT @field_val
...
FETCH c1 INTO @field_val
END
CLOSE c1
END
DEALLOCATE c1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks a lots,
Vincent

Hi,
I need a small help. In my stored procedure, i create a table variable and fill it with records based on my query. The ID field within the table is not continous and can have any value in increasing order .e.g. The ID sequence may be like 20, 33, 34, 59, 78, 79... I want to iterate through each record within the table but without using a Cursor. I want to use a loop for this purpose. There are many articles pointing out how to iterate through records in a table variable but that requires the IDs to be continous which is not possible in my case. Can anyone help me solve this problem...
Any help is appreciated...

I'm trying to build a select statement for a CURSOR where part of the SQL statement is built using a variable.
The following fails to parse:
Declare Cursor1 Cursor
For
'select table_name from ' + @database + '.Information_Schema.Tables Where Table_Type = ''Base Table'' order by Table_Name'
Open cursor1
That doesn't work, I've also tried using an Execute() statement, no luck there either. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I can't seem to get a cursor to work when I'm passing in a variable for a column name of the select statement. For example:
declare @col varchar(50)
set @col = 'Temperature'
declare notifycurs cursor scroll for
select @col from Table
Obviously this won't work correctly (since the result will simply be 'Temperature' instead of the actual float value for temperature). I tried to use quotes for the entire statement with an EXEC
(ie. exec('select '+@col+' from Table' )
but that gave me an error.
Is there a way to pass in a variable for a column name for a curor select statement????

I'm trying something like:
UPDATE tbl SET @varFieldName = @varValue
The procedure runs, and when I PRINT @varFieldName, it looks fine, but the table isn't getting updated, and no errors, wierd.
I have the CURSOR open for update, but I didn't list the field names, that shouldn't be a problem, as all fields should be updateable then.
To get the field name, I :
SET @varFieldName = 'SomeChars' + LTRIM(STR(asmallint)) + 'SomeMoreChars'

Is it possible to have a variable stand for the table names in a FROM clause for a select statement?
If not, does anyone have any suggestions on how do do this instead?
Thanks for any and all help,
Michelle

How can I achieve the following in SQL:
SELECT
@CURRCOLUMN,
COUNT(*)
FROM
CUSTOMERS
WHERE
@CURRCOLUMN = ""
It gives me an error. I basically need to loop through an entire tables variables to find out occurances of the column being either "" or null and return me a count of the number of occurances. This is just a small part of that task.

I am using a cursor (i know - but this is actually something that is a procedural loop).
So effectively i have a table of names of stored procedures. I now have a store proc that loops around these procs and runs each one in order.
Now i am thinking i would like to be able to set the table it loops around in a variable at the start - is it possible to do this? So effectively use a tablename in a variable to use in the sql to define a cursor?
