JDBC Returning Erradic Dataset Sizes

Apr 9, 2008

Hi All,
I am having an issue with a JDBC based reporting tool when connected to my SQL2005 db. Basically I am getting erradic results. Let me explain the two cases.
1) The full result set gets returned. This is good. In my trace file, I can see the cursor getting created and chunks of 50 records returning to the program. The last chunk has 10 records in it (a total of 960 records).
2) Partial results returned. 10 records, which is strangely enough the last chunk size of the full result set. No errors are flagged.
The vendor of the product ensures me that they cannot replicate the problem (even given my db), and I am having trouble identifying places/settings in SQL2005 that might help.
If it makes a difference, the dataset is a query with many LEFT OUTER JOINS, but the problem seems to stem from the inclusion of a subquery which uses a function in its from clause. EG.
SELECT blah1, blah2
FROM table1 LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 ON ....
...
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT id FROM func1(2,2) WHERE id = blah1)

If I remove the EXISTS clause, things seem to work well.

My @@version = Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2050.00 (Intel X86) Feb 13 2007 23:02:48 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Steele.

Returning A Dataset From A Procedure

Sep 11, 2004

Hi all

I have written a SQL Procedure to return all the results from a table and am writing a function to run the procedure (So that it is easier to use within my app). I have kinda got a bit confused. :oS

The SQL procedure Gallery_GetAllCetegoryPictures has one input variable (CategoryID) and returns a table procedure is something like SELECT * FROM Gallery WHERE CategoryID = @CategoryID.


The code im having trouble with is below:

Function GetAllCategoryPictures(ByVal CatID As Integer) As DataSet
Dim MyConnection As SqlConnection
Dim MyCommand As New SqlCommand
Dim MyParameter As SqlParameter
MyConnection = New SqlConnection(AppSettings("DSN"))
MyConnection.Open()

MyCommand.CommandText = "Gallery_GetAllCetegoryPictures"
MyCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

MyParameter = MyCommand.Parameters.Add("@CategoryID", SqlDbType.Int, 4)
MyParameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
MyParameter.Value = CatID

MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()


End Function


OK so that executes the procedure now I want to return the data within a dataset.

Do I need to use a data reader? if so how do I do it?

Thanks

Returning A Dataset From Custom Assembly?

Jan 10, 2007

Is it possible to have a Reporting Services dataset be returned from a custom assembly? I need to produce data for a graph that is not easily queried from the database and I am already familiar with using a custom assembly in an RS report.

What I would like to do is have a method that fills a dataset and returns it to the report for processing. Is this possible?

I am running SQL 2000 and RS 2000.

Thanks.

SPs In Access 2000 (SQL) / Crosstab Problem / Returning Dataset

Dec 7, 2003

SPs in Access 2000 (SQL) / Crosstab problem / returning dataset
I've recently "upsized" from Access97 (Jet) to Access 2000 (SQL) client/server using MS SQL Server 2000. As a result, I'm new to the concept of Stored Procedures. I am trying to work out a general solution to the fact SQL doesn't allow an easy way to create dynamic crosstab queries (from within Access client/server).

I've included the SP code I found (sp_crosstab) to create the crosstab solution. To execute the sp_crosstab, I use another SP (execute_crosstabs) which defines the input parameters.

If I run the SPs in Query Analyzer, the results are returned as a dataset. However, if I run them in MS Access 2000, the following message is returned:

"The stored procedure executed successfully but did not return records." Likewise, if I attach an Access form to the SP, it returns the same message.

I've seen ADO code which could return the records (to Access), but I would prefer an alteration to the SP (sp_crosstab) which would return the records automatically.

For example, if I run the SP below (sp_MyTables which executes sp_tables), a dataset is returned automatically instead of the message "The stored procedure executed successfully but did not return records." If I attach sp_MyTables to an Access form, the records are returned in the form as well.

My question is this: How can I get sp_crosstab to act like sp_tables (executed by sp_MyTables) to return a dataset instead of the infernal message?

I've looked all over the Internet and have not seen this issue addressed directly. Your help would be EXTREMELY appreciated (and will probably make Internet history)!

(I've included the SP's below.)

Stored Proc Returning Dataset && Number Of Records Not Working

Jul 7, 2004

Hi

I've created a sproc in SQL2000 that returns a dataset from a temp table & the number of records it's returning as an output parameter, although I can't seem to retrieve the value it's returning in asp.net although I get the dataset ok.

This is my sproc
create procedure return_data_and_value
@return int output
as
set nocount on
...
...
select * from #Table
select @return = count(*) from #Table
drop table #Table
go

This is asp.net code

Dim nRecords as Int32
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("return_data_and_value", conn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

Dim prm As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@return", SqlDbType.Int)
prm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
cmd.Parameters.Add(prm)

conn.Open()

dr = cmd.ExecuteReader

nRecords = convert.int32(cmd.parameters(@return).value)

conn.close


Thanks

Transact SQL :: Stored Procedure Not Returning Dataset (No Columns Are Coming)

Jun 3, 2015

We are facing an issue while executing a stored procedure which uses a table of current database with INNER JOIN a table of another database in same instance.

Per our requirement, we are inserting select statement output in table variable. Then applying business logic and finally showing the data from table variable.

This scenario is working exactly fine in Dev environment. But when we deployed the code in quality environment. Stored procedure does not returning OUTPUT/ (No column names) from table variable.

During initial investigation, we found that collation of these two databases are different but we added DATABASE_DEFAULT collation in the JOIN.

MS JDBC Driver Incompatibility With JDBC 3.0 Specs

Aug 8, 2006

Hi all,





We've just stumbled on a 1.0 version incompatibility with the JDBC specs.





Problem: A table with SMALLINT column. According to JDBC specs version 3.0


(p.B-179) and 4.0 (p.221)), the value should be converted to Integer type.





Unfortunatelly we get a Short object :(





Now, I remember, this case was also affecting old JSQLConnect driver from


DataDirect. Could that problem sneak to new MS driver too?





Please let me know any resolution to this problem if exists.


The issue has not been fixed in CTP 1.1 version. Any ideas if it can be fixed??




Cheers,


Piotr

2000 JDBC Vs 2005 JDBC

Mar 12, 2008



I've got an import app written in Java. One table I'm importing from contains 22 million records. When I run the app in a 2000 environment, I have my max heap set at 512, and the table gets imported. When I run in a 2005 environment, I have to change the max heap to 1152 or it will error out with a similiar error:

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The system is out of memory. Use server side cursors for large result sets:Java heap space. Result set size:854,269,999. JVM total memory size:1,065,484,288. (<--this is with max heap at 1024)

what is the difference between the 2000 and 2005 JDBC that I have to set max heap in one and not the other?

SQL Server 2008 :: Populate One Dataset In SSRS Based On Results From Another Dataset Within Same Project?

May 26, 2015

I have a report with multiple datasets, the first of which pulls in data based on user entered parameters (sales date range and property use codes). Dataset1 pulls property id's and other sales data from a table (2014_COST) based on the user's parameters. I have set up another table (AUDITS) that I would like to use in dataset6. This table has 3 columns (Property ID's, Sales Price and Sales Date). I would like for dataset6 to pull the Property ID's that are NOT contained in the results from dataset1. In other words, I'd like the results of dataset6 to show me the property id's that are contained in the AUDITS table but which are not being pulled into dataset1. Both tables are in the same database.

Integration Services :: Perform Lookup On Large Dataset Based On A Small Dataset

Oct 1, 2015

I have a small number of rows in a dataset, Table 1.  There is a CLOB on a large dataset, Table 2.  They join on a PK.  I would like to retrieve this CLOB and add it to the data flow for Table1.  In short I want to emulate the following:

Table 1:  Small table without CLOB, 10 rows. 
Table 2: Large table with CLOB, 10,000,000 rows

select CLOB
from table2
where pk = (select pk from table1)

I want this to return the CLOBs for the small number of rows in Table 1.  The PK is indexed obviously so it should be a fast look up.

Table 1 and Table 2 live on different Oracle databases.  How do I perform this operation efficiently in SSIS?  It seems the Lookup and Merge Join wont do this.

if @Status=0 even if I pass @status=0. What am I doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated.

Calculating Row Sizes

Feb 20, 2008

I'm putting together a manual system that tracks data growth in a certain database. I was going to use sp_spaceused as a part of it, but then realized the datatypes for size are CHAR, not INT or BIGINT. I was going to do counts, averages, etc. on those columns but that wouldn't work against a CHAR field obviously. I could easily write a little something to strip out the KB, but was hoping there was another way to get those figures.

Secondly...has anynoe seen a stored procedure/code/etc. that just calculates the largest/smallest/average row size for a table? I haven't been able to find anything anywhere...

Any insight would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!

A SqlDataReader Is Returning An Int, When It Should Be Returning A Tinyint

Sep 25, 2007

I am opening a simple command against a view which joins 2 tables, so that I can return a column which is defined as a tinyint in one of the tables.  The SELECT looks like this:
 SELECT TreatmentStatus FROM vwReferralWithAdmissionDischarge WHERE ClientNumber = 138238 AND CaseNumber = 1 AND ProviderNumber = 89
 The TreatmentStatus column is a tinyint.  When I execute that above SQL SELECT statement in SQL Server Management Studio (I am using SQL Server 2005) I get a value of 2.  But when I execute the same SQL SELECT statement as a part of a SqlDataReader and SqlCommand, I get a return data type of integer and a value of 1.
Why?

Nvarchar And Varchar Sizes....

Jun 19, 2004

Hello again everyone....

I have another question for everyone....

I am currently cleaning up my database to get its total size down and am not sure how nvarchar and varchar work exactly.

When defining the length of a varchar or nvarchar in enterprise manager, will that effect the size of the entry (as far as data size) no matter what the length of the entry? In other words, will there be a difference in Data Size for an entry with the length of 4 characters with a definition of varchar(4) versus an entry with the length of 4 characters with a definition of varchar(50).

****If there is no difference, is there any reason in trying to best guess the size to give nvarchar or varchar columns? It would seem easier to just define the lengths of columns which need variable lengths to 200 or 400 just to save time in not trying to best guess what the size might be...*****

Thanks ahead for any help...

Query Table Sizes

I am looking to runa query to get the sizes of the tables in my SQL 7 DB.
I know I can access the info in Enterprise Manager, under "Tables & Indexes".
But I need to get this info via a query.
I need rows and size.
I figured out how to get rows through the sys tables:
select sysobjects.name, sysindexes.rows
from sysobjects,sysindexes
where sysobjects.name = sysindexes.name
and xtype = 'U'

Is the size of each table stored in a sys table as well? I can't find it.

Reducing Database And Log Sizes

Dec 16, 1999

I have inherited a number of databases which were substantially over sized when they were set up. I'd like to reduce both the log and database files to be smaller than their original sizes, what's the easiest way to do this? If anyone has any experience of doing this please reply.

Oracle Packet Sizes

Aug 5, 2003

We are looking at installing a new Oracle server for a client but have been told that they have used Oracle in the past but had a lot of problems with slow response even though the bandwidth on the WAN was barely being used. He says that this was due to the fact that Oracle sends out very small packets across the network meaning that there are hundreds of packets being sent out. This caused a problem on the routers being used as it was killing the processors. Is this still the case and have you had other reports of slow response of this nature?

Device Sizes Are Negative

Mar 30, 1999

Ok, I have a new one. Several of my devices are showing with negative sizes when viewed in edit in enterprise manager. I cannot edit them as the change now button is grayed-out. Oddly enough they are all located on the same drive. The master (on C drive), and the tempdb (on D drive) both show as the default device. I am very confused. User access to the information is fine. What gives?
