Hi, I was wondering if there is a method (other than BULK INSERT) to insert a (C++) application level array into the database, I have a variant type array populated with values that I want to insert, possibly using ADO Objects, in quick time!

I have an asp.net project that displays a timesheet based on a fortnightly system.
It has a Y and X axis, i.e. Sun-Mon, Sun-Mon across the top and Categories of hour types accross the Y axis, i.e. Holidays, Overtime, Maintenance.
I was using a datagrid to gather the rows, but I need to have the whole grid in edit mode which is something that requires more coding. So I have swapped to a datalist.
It will take me 240 fields to store all the data in their corresponding fields. So I basically need to know if there is an easier way to store two dimensional array type data into an SQL table using a minimum of fields.
I've been doing this in Access, but cannot find the answer to how to do it with SQL Server.
From a web form, a user can select a number of different dates. The selected dates are held as text (not DateTime) in an ArrayList.
Clicking the Submit button writes the contents of the form to a database table.
This works for Access:
insSQL &= "VALUES (@typEvent, @starts, @ends, @starts, @ends, @attend, @title, @room, @department, @contact, @address, @telephone, @email, @telefax, " For i = 0 to datesArray.Count - 1 insSql &= datesArray.Item(i) Next i
insSQL &= "VALUES (@typEvent, @starts, @ends, @starts, @ends, @attend, @title, @room, @department, @contact, @address, @telephone, @email, @telefax, " For i = 0 to datesArray.Count - 1 insSql &= "#" & datesArray.Item(i) & "#, " Next i
It doesn't work for SQL Server, and when trying to insert the value "01/29/2007" I get the error message: "The name '#1' is not permitted in this context. Only constants, expressions, or variables allowed here. Column names are not permitted."
I have also tried the line:
For i = 0 to datesArray.Count - 1 insSql &= satesArray.Item(i) Next i
and get: "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'VALUES'."
I'm not sure where to find the information to correct my error.
Any help would be appreciated.

All,
I am using Reporting Services 2005. One of my reports is getting the following error when I try to export to Excel. It will export to .CSV though.
"Destination array was not long enough. Check destIndex and length, and the array's lower bounds."
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please copy me at machelle.a.chandler@intel.com.

I have a stored procedure that has a paramter that accepts a string of values. At the user interface, I use a StringBuilder to concatenate the values (2,4,34,35,etc.) I would send these value to the stored procedure. The problem is that the stored procedure doesn't allow it to be query with the parameter because the Fieldname, "Officer_UID" is an integer data type, which can't be query against parameter string type.
What would I need to do to convert it to an Integer array?
@OfficerIDs as varchar(200)
Select Officer_UID From Officers Where Officer_UID in (@OfficerIDs)
Thanks
Nz(variant [, valueifnull ] ) is the syntax.
If the value of variant isn't Null, then the Nz function returns the value of variant.
Can I return a custom value if the variant isnt null?
I have a user who uses the sql variant data type. Currently the database he uses is read only and he has noticed a lot of "garbage" in the column in the last few days. A dbcc shows no corruption and the user is following the rules of the sql variant data type as far as we know.
One last thing, he never had this problem on AS 2000.

In the following code snippet, the stored procedure executes up to the

So what is the proper syntax?

In SQL 2005, I use a variant with XML type; it seems that its size is limited here. If I assign a big data to it, it appears not assigned at all. Here is the example:
Code Snippet
declare @xml xml
--cross two table to get many records returned, if nothing is abnormal, just cross more tables here
select * from master.sys.objects a, master.sys.objects b for xml RAW, ELEMENTS
set @xml=( select * from master.sys.objects a, master.sys.objects b for xml RAW, ELEMENTS )
select @xml
--no results here for var @xml
--use single table to get fewer records returned.
select * from master.sys.objects for xml RAW, ELEMENTS
set @xml=( select * from master.sys.objects for xml RAW, ELEMENTS )
select @xml
--results as normal.
Note:here I don't want to test SQL server, I just use XML type variant as oupput for a sproc, and come across the issue here.
Any reply will be appreciated!
Hi,
When i try to retirve the datatype of a variant column using SQLColAttribute, the datatype comes back as SQL_BINARY(-2) instead of a CHAR based type. To reproduce the problem, add extended property 'MS_Description' to either a column or a table. Assign a text value to the property.
Execute the following query and verify. SELECT value FROM sys.extended_properties WHERE name = 'MS_Description'
I'm using SQL Server 2005 sp 2 with Visual Studio 2005.
Here is the code i use -
Code Block
SQLHENV m_SQLEnvironment;
SQLHDBC m_SQLConnection;
SQLHSTMT m_SQLStatement;
SQLRETURN iReturn;
CString sConnectionString = _T("DRIVER={SQL Native Client};SERVER=YourServer;DATABASE=YourDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;");
CString sQuery = _T("SELECT value FROM sys.extended_properties WHERE name = 'MS_Description'") ;
iReturn = SQLAllocHandle( SQL_HANDLE_ENV,SQL_NULL_HANDLE,&m_SQLEnvironment);
iReturn = SQLSetEnvAttr(m_SQLEnvironment,SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION,(SQLPOINTER) SQL_OV_ODBC3,0);
iReturn = SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC,m_SQLEnvironment,&m_SQLConnection);
iReturn = SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, m_SQLConnection, &m_SQLStatement );
SQLCHAR szwOutputConnectionString[800];
SQLSMALLINT nOutputStringLength = 0;
SQLUSMALLINT nDriverCompletion = SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT;
iReturn = SQLDriverConnect( m_SQLConnection, m_hWnd, (SQLCHAR*)(LPCSTR)sConnectionString, SQL_NTS, szwOutputConnectionString, 800, &nOutputStringLength, nDriverCompletion );
iReturn = SQLAllocHandle( SQL_HANDLE_STMT,m_SQLConnection,&m_SQLStatement);
iReturn = SQLPrepare( m_SQLStatement, (SQLCHAR*)(LPCSTR)sQuery , SQL_NTS );
iReturn = SQLExecute( m_SQLStatement );
iReturn = SQLFetch( m_SQLStatement );
SQLINTEGER nType = 0;
SQLSMALLINT nDummyInt = 0;
//get the datatype of the variant
iReturn = SQLColAttribute( m_SQLStatement, (SQLUSMALLINT) 1, SQL_CA_SS_VARIANT_TYPE, NULL, NULL, &nDummyInt, &nType );
After the execution of SQLColAttribute, nType value is assigned a value of -2 (SQL_BINARY) instead of a CHAR based type. What am i doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

HI, Guys:
I've some AT_DATE tables (eg: AT_20080401, AT_20080402, ...) in SQLServer DB, and these AT_XX table have same columns. but table count could be variant, so I have to query sysobjects to get all of these tables. like this:
select name from sysobject where name like 'AT_%'
Now I try to create a view AT which is the union of all these AT_XX tables, such as:
Code Snippet
Create View AT as
select * from AT_20080401
union
select * from AT_20080402
union ...
but since I'm not sure how many tables there, it would be impossible to write SQL as above.
though I could get this union result via stored-procedure, view couldn't be created on the resultset of a procedure.
Create View AT as
select * from AT_createView() <-- AT_createView must be a function, not procedure
I've checked msdn, there is Multi-statement table-valued function, but this function type seems to create one temporary table, I don't want to involve much of insert operation because there could be more than 1million records totally in these AT_XX tables.
So is there any way to achived my goal?
any reference would be appreciated, thanks !

I have two CheckBoxList controls. One CheckBoxList is a group of area codes as they apply to our customers, and the second CheckBoxList is a group of categories of those customers. The code below works fine with either CheckBoxList as a standalone (this code applies to the Area Codes selection), but what I need is the VB code to combine the choices a user makes in both CheckBoxLists. Is this where parameterized SQL comes into play? Or can I/should I use an array statement to combine both CheckBoxList choices? Sometimes a user will select nothing in one CBL and a few choices in the other, or vice versa, or a handful of choices in both CBLs, so that they might want only customers in, say two area codes and then only the selected categories of those area codes. Need help on this one, thanks...Protected Sub btn_CustomerSearchCombine_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_CustomerSearchCombine.Click Dim ACSelections As Boolean = False Dim ACItem As ListItem For Each ACItem In cbl_CustomerSearchAREA.Items If ACItem.Selected Then ACSelections = True End If Next If ACSelections = True Then Dim ACSqlString As String ACSqlString = "SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Customers.CustomerName, Customers.CategoryID, Customers.EstHours, Customers.Locality, Categories.Category FROM Customers INNER JOIN Categories ON Customers.CategoryID = Categories.CategoryID WHERE " For Each ACItem In cbl_CustomerSearchAREA.Items If ACItem.Selected Then ACSqlString &= "Customers.AreaCodeID = '" & ACItem.Value & "' OR " End If Next ACSqlString = Left(ACSqlString, Len(ACSqlString) - 4) ACSqlString &= "ORDER By Customers.CustomerName" sql_CustomerSearchGrid.SelectCommand = ACSqlString End IfEnd Sub

Hi all,
My Issue is the next thing:
I have a table filled with contracts
I have Stoc that checks if contract has expired
If I start the Stoc I must give it the contractnumber with it like:
SP_expired 8
This works fine but now I want that the Stoc checks all the contracts by just starting the Stoc.
I don't really know how to do this, I have thinking about using an array.
But don't have an idea where to start....
Thnx in advance

hi guys im having some problems with arrays as parameter
what i want to do is pass a array of comma separated values i.e 12,24,36 and use the in(@parameter) but it doesnt work
i've found some solutions, like
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetLawyers] ( @LawyerTypeIDs VARCHAR(100)
AS
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(2000)
SET @SQL = 'SELECT * FROM [dbo].[TB_VALOR_BANCOS]
WHERE [PARCELAS] IN (' + @LawyerTypeIDs + ')'
EXECUTE (@SQL)
but in my case doesnt work.
here is a part of my code
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (PARTITION BY cod_banco ORDER BY coeficiente asc) AS RecID FROM tb_valor_bancos
where
(1 = CASE WHEN @TABELA IS NULL THEN 1
ELSE CASE WHEN TABELA = @TABELA THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
END
)
AND (1 = CASE WHEN @PARCELAS IS NULL THEN 1
ELSE CASE WHEN PARCELAS in(@PARCELAS) THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
END
)
...
i know there is a way to pass the array into a table but it doesnt work too

I have seen several examples explaining the fact that a tablecontaining a field for each day of the week is for the most part anarray. An specific example is where data representing worked hours isstored in a table.CREATE TABLE [hoursWorked] ([id] [int] NOT NULL ,[location_id] [tinyint] NOT NULL,[sunday] [int] NULL ,[monday] [int] NULL ,[tuesday] [int] NULL ,[wednesday] [int] NULL ,[thursday] [int] NULL ,[friday] [int] NULL ,[saturday] [int] NULL)I had to work with a table with a similar structure about 7 years agoand I remember that writing code against the table was pretty close toHell on earth.I am now looking at a table that is similar in nature - but different.CREATE TABLE [blah] ([concat_1_id] [int] NOT NULL ,[concat_2_id] [int] NOT NULL ,[code_1] [varchar] (30) NOT NULL ,[code_2] [varchar] (20) NULL ,[code_3] [varchar] (20) NULL ,[some_flg] [char] (1) NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]The value for code_2 and code_3 will be dependently null and they willrepresent similar data in both records (i.e. the value "abc" can existin both fields) . For example if code_2 contains data then code_3 willprobably not contain data.I do not think that this is an array. But with so many rows wherecode_2 and code_3 will be NULL something just does not feel right.I will appreciate your input.

first row is the PO header and the second is the detail. This data was collected using Export Import Wizard from flatfile and put it in one column. I want to split the header and the detail into different table and map each column separated by ; to a proper field. For this work I should check every column separated by ; with CHARINDEX function but I have to write the TSQL as much as the count of ;. It would be better if we can use array to simplify the code.
Can we use array in Transact SQL ? since I have no clue referring to SQLBOL. Thanks in advance.
