Hi All,
I've got a problem with increasingly long parameter lists for SProcs... Especially when one calls another SProc, and so on. Is there any way around this? Like can you dynamically construct a string and pass that? I'm just looking to see if more experienced players have found ways around this, or have just dealt with it by using well formed code.
Thanks
Chris
We have just implemented our new app and I need to improve performance. We are the victims of not having a very adequate stress testing tool prior to launch. Is there an easy way to track all queries or stored procs longer than a specified time?

For C# you can have ProjectName.ProjectSection.Classname when naming a class. I am just wondering if there is a way to do the same with SQL stored procs. I know Oracle has packages and the name of the package provides a namespace for all of the stored procs inside it.
I have been converting a VB 6 applications database queries into SQL Server 2000 stored procedures and have come up against a problem where lists are used in search conditions...For example a list of accounts are selected based on their account currency ID being equal to 1, 5, or 7. In the VB 6 query the string looks like....
SELECT tblAccount.txtName FROM tblAccount WHERE (tblAccount.intCurrencyId IN(1, 5, 7))
The list could contain a single value or upto 20 values. Is it possible to pass the currency list (i.e "1, 5, 7, ...") as a parameter to the stored procedure?
Any help much appreciated!

HI,
CREATE PROCEDURE PROC1
AS
BEGIN
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC
FROM CUSTOMER A
INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B
ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID
INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C
ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID
WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (6,7,2,3,12,10)
ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID
END
IF I AM USING THIS PROC AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC THEN IT GIVES NO PROBLEM AS I CAN USE ?
CREATE PROCEDURE PROC2
AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #SAATHI(INTCUSTOMERID INT,CHREMAIL NVARCHAR(60),INTPREFERENCEID INT,CHRPREFERENCEDESC NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #SAATHI
EXEC PROC1
ST......1,
ST......2,
END.
BUT IF , I USE ANOTHER PROC SIMILAR TO THE FIRST ONE WHICH GIVES SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT RESULTS AND GIVES TWO SETS OF RESULTS,THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM,HO TO SOLVE THIS :-
CREATE PROCEDURE MY_PROC
AS
BEGIN
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC
FROM CUSTOMER A
INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B
ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID
INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C
ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID
WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (23,12,10)
ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID
END
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 23 then '1'
else '0' end) +
MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 12 then '1'
else '0' end) +
MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 10 then '1'
else '0' end) AS PREFER
FROM CUSTOMER
GROUP BY A.INTCUSTOMERID
ORDER BY A.INTCUSTOMERID
END
WHICH NOW GIVES ME TWO SETS OF DATA , BOTH REQUIRED THEN HOW TO USE ONE SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC AND OTHER SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO YET ANOTHER PROC .
CREATE PROCEDURE PROC2
AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #SAATHI(INTCUSTOMERID INT,CHREMAIL NVARCHAR(60),INTPREFERENCEID INT,CHRPREFERENCEDESC NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #SAATHI
EXEC MY_PROC
ST......1,
ST......2,
END.
BUT, HERE I WANT TO USE FIRST DATASET ONLY , HOW TO USE IT ?
THANKS.
I have a multiselect checkbox list in my UI. I pass the list items to my stored proc as comma separated parameter and then I have a function which converts this parameter to a table with separate rows.
E.g. : a,b,c,d
Converted to result table
result
a
b
c
d
I want to insert each row of the result table into another table. How to do that.
E.g., the table after the function is :
CREATE TABLE #result
(
Subject varchar(100)
)
insert into #result values ('a')
insert into #result values ('b')
insert into #result values ('c')
insert into #result values ('d')
So the pseudo code is something like
for each row in #result
insert row into another table
Hello
I want to have a report query parameter which has many thousands of possible values (i.e. Customer Names). I need to provide the ability to allow a user to search for the customer they want and then have that customer's detail appear in the parameter.
Ideally I would like something like the ability to have a "Find" button next to the parameter that would kick off a "Find" report and then pass the value selected back to the original parameter.
The parameter in question is one of a numvber (6) on the actual report so have discounted the option of creating a "Find Customer" report as step 1 and then passing the selection forward to the actual report (Step 2) i.e. drill through.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated as I know I will have many of these scenarios in the coming months as I will be using numerous parameters with large selection lists.
Thanks in advance

I am working on existing ssrs report. When I see the preview I could see the extra parameter than the actual parameter.
How do I know , when this parameter is coming in the preview ?
I have two report , first is main report which is matrix and have one parameter User_ids which is multi value selection and my second report is basic chart of user_wise performance.
Now, my main report (matrix ) works fine for Multiple selection of users and i have putted one textbox on main report chart which has action properties set for chart report, when user click on chart button it must goes to chart with user selected in main report. Now , i have used expression for parameter to send it like ..
=join(parameter!user_id!value,",") which pass selected value to chart
And when I am selecting single user it passing that value to chart parameter list but , when it is more than one user it errors with conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '121,128' to data type int. But my chart also works when passing 121,128 in user parameter in preview of report .
my dataset from sharepoint list. and this dataset value assign to parameter. i want when no any parameter is selected than it should filter like "ALL". when i select alow null value it give me prompt error you can not select null in multivalue parameter.How can i do it. i am using share point list.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if this is possible right out of the box in SSRS 2005 against an OLAP data source?
I have several parameters. My second parameter is to be filtered based on the first parameter (kinda like cascading), but how do I do this against an OLAP data source? Lets say I have param1 and param2 in a dataset. I want Param2 to show the locations only based on what I select in Param1.
Same but a little different: I have Parameter1 and then my second parameter (Param2) is a boolean (True/False). I want to show Parameter 3/Paramater 4 based on selection of Param2 (So, if true, show Param3, if false, show Param 4) and remember we are doing this in a sequence.
Can you do this thru SSRS? Any help would be great.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Is it possible to fill a parameter list with values based on another parameter value?
Here's what I have so far (which hasn't worked)...
I'd like to generate a report listing information for a student. The report viewer would first select a school from the first drop-down menu, and then the second drop-down menu would populate with the list of students at that school.
I have a dataset that calls a sp which returns a list of schools (SchoolID and SchoolName fields from the database table).
I have another dataset that calls a sp (with SchoolID as the parameter) which returns a list of students for that school.
Both datasets return the appropriate data when tested individually, but when I set up the Report Parameters and build the report, these errors come up...
The value expression for the query parameter '@SchoolID' refers to a non-existing report parameter 'SchoolID'.
The report parameter 'Student' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "SchoolID". Forward dependencies are not valid.
...Is it possible for the reoprt to generate a list of available parameter values based on the value selected for another parameter?
Any help you can give me would be great!! Thank you
Hi
In 2000 is it possible to list second parameter based on selection
in the first parameter list

I'm generarintg a mail from a trigger, using xp_sendmail.
I use the query parameter to generate the body of the mail, the query is a procedure call with some parameters, one of this is a long string.
when the length is less that 128 work fine, but, when this parameter is longer than 128 charaters, return me the error 103 telling me that it has exceed 128 characteres, and do not send the mail.
I find this quite frustrating, the parameter is limited only to 128 characteres, what could I do.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
If I use the following query for a Dataset and the execution takes a few seconds to show results
SELECT *
FROM dbo.ICParameter
WHERE (PatientID = @ID ) AND (LogTime > DATEADD(day, -1, GETDATE()))
ORDER BY LogTime
If I replace '99010200101' with @ID and enter '99010200101' when prompted for ID, the execution takes forever. Actually I have never got any results even after waiting for 10 minutes.
Could anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.
almost choked when i read the following recent post on The Daily WTF (http://thedailywtf.com/) the other day --
Logical Tiers? That Makes No Sense! (http://thedailywtf.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=28959)
i don't think i can do justice to how utterly stupid that stored procedure is
read the comments and have a laugh
one of the points made was that stored procedures are bad
this twigged something in my memory, so i dug around in my bookmarks, and sure enough, here's another decent discussion about stored procs --

Hey guys.
I am wondering if it is possible to execute an .exe from a stored proc. I have an application that calls a stored proc and I am wanting for that stored proc to call up an app to show certain results. I have no way of doing this on the application itself as I dont have the source code. So, since I do have access to the SQL I am wondering if it could be done there.
Thanks

First off, this is a cross post which is also located here:
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=34073
Now, with the following stored procs and UDF, the Result is NULL and I cannot figure out why.
What I am doing is calling a stored procedure pass in an OUTPUT variable of type float. This stored proceudre then calls a different stored procedure passing the same OUTPUT variable of type float. The second stored procedure then calls a UDF passing in two variables to be multiplied ans this should set the OUTPUT variable to the result.
The UDF does return the correct result to the interior stored procedure, but the interior stored procedure does not pass the value back to the original stored procudure resultint in a Result value = NULL.
The code is below, just copy / past, execute and you will see exactly what I mean.
Any thoughts?

I am trying to improve my SQL and reduce the number of connections my website is making to the server.
Currently I have a stored procedure that gets all the games (and their details) for a single user which works fine which uses a WHERE userid = @userid which is an Int value.
I now need to create a new procedure which brings back the to all their "friends" (again by their userid). How is it best to do this? I originally tried to do a WHERE userID IN (@userid) but was unable to work out what variable type to use for @userid.
Is it best to do a single query in this way or is there a way to use the existing SP, loop through the collection of userids and join the result together into a single set to return? If an IN is the best route, what is the correct datatype for the variable?
can anyone help me out.... i need to compare a date that was retrieved from the database and the system date then it must be coded in the stored procs of the database.. help!!!!

Hi all!
I am not an expert in Stored Procs. I would like to build one for a product list that would return a default value without using output parameters, if possible. Ultimately, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
It currently looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE ProductsByVendorNo
(
@VendorNum nvarchar(24)
)
AS
SELECT
P.ProductID AS ProductID,
P.ProductShortName AS ProductName,
P.ProductDesc AS ProductDesc,
U.UnitDesc AS Unit,
P.VendorProductNumber AS VendorNumber,
V.VendorName AS VendorName,
P.Price AS Price,
P.ImageThumb AS ImageThumb
FROM
tblProducts AS P
INNER JOIN tblUnitCodes AS U ON P.UnitCode=U.UnitCode
INNER JOIN tblVendors AS V ON P.VendorID=V.VendorID
WHERE
V.VendorsVendorNo = @VendorNum
AND P.Inactive = 0
ORDER BY
ProductName,
VendorNumber
I would like for it to return a default, constant value for the URL in the ImageThumb field, if this one is empty. I could not find good documentation of how to use IF statements for this case, i.e. to alter the return of just one field.
Suggestions?
Any input is highly appreciated.

I want to "deny" create, update,and delete access on the dbo stored procs that are in the database, but do not want take away dbo owner access. is this possible?
can i create a role and deny access on a particular table in msdb? or a system table in the user table. Thus preventing the developers on the box access to update any of the dbo owned sp's and have them create their own user-owned stored procs?
this is sql7, sp3, development box.

I will be taking over a database that has almost no pk's or relations(this is not my choice, but a vendors)
Management is looking at stored procs to improve performance, but I am wondering
if the db is in this state will there really be a gain. I am pushing for normalization
first, but if anybody has any ideas or opinions I would appreciate
I have a stored proc that is run periodically which I execute with a DTS package. The problem is that I have to update a field for each record selected by this stored proc with a specific date. I need to prompt the operator for this date so I can use this value.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOk, I've read somewhere(which I'm looking for again : ) that said that there are errors like DeadLock that kills the execution of a stored proc and there are other errors that do not necessarily kill the rest of the execution of the stored proc. Is that true? If so does anyone have any links I can read. What I'm seeing is a bad id in the foreign key and I think what is happening is that there was a unique constraint error on the first insert but the stored proc continued executing and used the bad id later on in the stored proc.
I do know I can use the @@error and will start using it but I need more proof to agree or not agree with my theory.
Thanks ahead of time for any information you can give me either way.

Hi all.
First post on here, so please excuse any ignorant parts of my question :)
We've recently had to migrate an application from one server to another, and had lots of problems getting it to work (NT4/SS7 -> 2K3/SS2K5). After much digging around I found the info on SQL server 2k5 changing the SUSER_NAME to SUSER_SNAME (I think from reading the change was actually from SQL Server 2000 - that correct ?).
Anyway I updated some of our stored procedures to correct that issue, and things *seem* to be working again (<-- famous last words, I know :eek: ), but I've been trying to find details of any other changes, particularly command changes, that I may need to make to our stored procedures.
To be honest I've found the info on Microsoft's main site and technet site next to useless - all seems to discuss very generic high-level procedures for database migration etc.. I didn't even find the SUSER change on there.
Could anyone point me to some useful information on other changes to look out for (within the SP's) ??
Thanks in advance for your help, and for taking the time to read this :beer:
