Aug 13, 2007
Hi there when i tried to execute the following query in sql server
select au_fname,
SUBSTRING(P1.au_lname, CHARINDEX('/', P1.au_lname) + 1,
CHARINDEX('=', P1.au_lname, 1)-3)AS [Full Name]
from authors as P1
i will get the error like
"Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."
If i remove -3 from there it works fine...
Please can anyone clarify this issue.

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

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,

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."
Here's the code in question:
orderConnection.Open()
orderReader = orderCommand.ExecuteReader()
setControls(orderReader)
...
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'm using a substring expression in a Derived Column transformation to create a new column (string data) out of a segment of another. The length of the new column data is calculated at run time based on the contents of other columns, and under some circumstances may be zero.
Is this kocher, or will it lead to 'unpredictable' results? Coz unexpected results is what I'm getting, not in the row concerned, but in the rows following......

is there any way or a tool to identify if in procedure the Parameter length was declarated less than table Column length ..
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST001 (KeyName Varchar(100) ) a procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE SpFindNames ( @KeyName VARCHAR(40) )
AS
BEGIN
SELECT KeyName FROM TEST001
WHERE KeyName = @KeyName
END
KeyName = @KeyName
Here table Column with 100 char length "KeyName" was compared with SP parameter "@KeyName" with length 40 char ..
IS there any way to find out all such usage on the ALL Procedures in the Database ?

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!

Hi All,
We have transactional replication between two SQL Server 2000, SP4 and database is in simple recovery.
Occassionally Logreader agent fails with error 9003 (The LSN (164051:119090:22) passed to log scan in database 'ReportDB' is
invalid).
But in April 2007 this error has occurred multiple times. We have opened the case with PSS in April 2007 but till now there
is no concrete solution.
Error details in ErrorLog:
2007-04-24 16:49:09.79 spid59 Error: 9003, Severity: 20, State: 1
2007-04-24 16:49:09.79 spid59 The LSN (164051:119090:22) passed to log scan in database 'ReportDB' is invalid..
Error details in Log reader agent:
Repl Agent Status: 3
Publisher: {call sp_repldone ( 0x000280d30001d1320016, 0x000280d30001d1320016, 0, 0)}
Publisher: {call sp_replcmds (100, 0)}
Status: 0, code: 0, text: 'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'BR14D135R17'.'.
The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'BR14D135R17'.
Repl Agent Status: 6
Status: 0, code: 9003, text: 'The LSN (164051:119090:22) passed to log scan in database 'ReportDB' is invalid.'.
From above error details it can be seen that sp_repldone is already called for LSN 164051:119090:22 (0x000280d30001d1320016)
which means it is distributed.
Since LSN is distributed, transaction log of publisher for that LSN can be truncated by checkpoint process. And afterward if
logreader issues sp_replcmds for that LSN, we will get 9003 error.
So, question is why Logreader is looking for LSN if that is already distributed.
When checked "DBCC Opentran", it also reflect oldest distributed LSN as 164051:119090:22.
We tried changing the recovery model to FULL but that has only delayed the occurrence.
Once we have noticed that LSN mentioned in Error 9003 was already backed up one day before. And we don't think replication latency to be more than 3 hrs
(maximum).
After PSS recommendation, we have applied the hotfix 2187 but error has occurred again after one month.
Other recommendation is to disable read cache of hardware controller to avoid stale read(that we are working on). Current
setting is 100% read and 0% Write.
Other Details:
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP4 with Hotfix 2187
Window 2000 Advanced Server.
RAID 5 with array controller as HP Smart Array 641 Controller
Please let me know if you have faced such issue and have any idea on this problem.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Hello,
I've got the following query:
SELECT zA."ID" AS fA_A
, zA."TEXT" AS fA_B
, (
SELECT COUNT(zC."ID")
FROM Test."Booking" AS zC
) AS fA_E
FROM Test."Stack" AS zA
WHERE zA."ID" = ?
With this query I call:
- SQLPrepare -> SQL_SUCCESS=0
- SQLNumParams -> SQL_SUCCESS=0, pcpar = 1
- SQLDescribeParam( 1 ) -> SQL_ERROR=-1, [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid parameter number", "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index"
Is there a problem with this calling sequence or this query? Or is this a problem of SQL Server?

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>

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 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 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

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,

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.
Â
I am trying to use the following MDX but I am getting all the members. I need to get only Bikes in my report.
Â
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]
