Is there a way to do a SELECT TOP # using a variable for the #?
In other words I'm doing a SELECT TOP 50* FROM DATATABLE
If I pass an @value for the number
SELECT TOP @value* FROM DATATABLE doesn't work
I am generating a random sampling of data and I want to allow the user to select the number of results they choose to have.
Thanks in advance.
Friends,
What are the possible usuages of a SELECT query stmt inside a stored procedure ??
How can we process the results of the SELECT query other than for documentation/Reporting purposes(Correct me if i'm wrong in this) ??
can any one throw some lite on this ..
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have a SP that return a dataset and I was thinking to execute that SP inside of other SP then catch the dataset to put into a variable or put into a temp table. What I know is you can not use recordset on output and input parameter in SP correct me if im wrong. I'm just wondering if I there is a work around in this scenario.
Thanks and have a nice day to all.
I have a SELECT query that also needs to call a sproc with a column name passed in as a parameter.
Unfortunately I cannot use a TVF, as the sproc code references a TVF on a linked server.
What is the best option?
SELECT
u.UserID,
u.Username,
u.Address,
EXEC dbo.[GetResult] u.UserID AS 'Result'
FROM dbo.UserTests u
I have a stored procedure in which I'll select some rows based on a condition and I need to update the status of those rows within the same stored procedure.For e.g.
Create Procedure [dbo].[myProcedure] As BEGIN BEGIN TRAN T1 SET NOCOUNT ON SELECT TOP 5 * INTO #TempTable FROM myTable WHERE ENABLED = 1 AND FetchDate<=GetDate(); UPDATE myTable SET [Status] = 'Locked' From myTable Inner Join on #TempTable myTable.id = #TempTable.id; SELECT * FROM #TempTable; DROP Table #TempTable; COMMIT TRAN T1 END
The Stored Procedure works fine when I debug in SQL. I'm accessing the StoredProcedure through C# like this.
private ProcessData[] ReadFromDb(string StoredProcedure, SqlConnection Connection) { List<ProcessData> Data = new List<ProcessData>(); SqlCommand Command = new SqlCommand(StoredProcedure, Connection); Command.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure; try { Command.CommandTimeout = CONNECTION_TIMEOUT;
[code]....
The problem is I'm getting the required rows in C# but the update query in stored procedure is not working.

Hi Everybody,
I am trying to update a column Percentage in a table named Critical Doctors with a column named
PercentTime from tblPercent table, Where the column Doctor matches with any DoctorId from
tblPercent.
I am getting an error message for the following query.
Have Two tables
1.CriticalDoctors

where CriticalDoctors.Doctor = (select DoctorId from tblPercent)
Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <=

The statement has been terminated.
Pls give me reply on how to write a stored procedure so that I can equate the percentage column
with one value and also check the condition with one value.
Thanking you guys in advance.

Hi there i really cant understand why this should be a problem... it seems that i cant create a table from a stored procedure when passing the tablenam from application like this...
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.CreateTable
@TableName NVARCHAR(50)

create table @TableName ([id] int identity(1,1),[diller] int)

THIS CANT BE TRUE !!!!!!!!
Hy all.
My main goal would be to create some kind of map of the database, wich contains information of all connecting fields, including wich fields has key references to the other one and wich table. I'd like to have a table wich shows all the database connections tablename, field, field/table_key (from or to the key points), field_key_type (prymary or foreign)
So I thaugh to get sp_fkeys and sp_pkeys from master table and inner joining their results, but I simplay cannot "catch" their result sets. The script must have been written in SQL.
Obviously I'd like to do this:
SELECT * FROM EXEC sp_fkeys @table_name = 'xy'
of course it is not working this way, but I'd like something like this.
Please help! Thanx!
Has anyone encountered cases in which a proc executed by DTS has the following behavior:
1) underperforms the same proc when executed in DTS as opposed to SQL Server Managemet Studio
2) underperforms an ad-hoc version of the same query (UPDATE) executed in SQL Server Managemet Studio
What could explain this?
Obviously,
All three scenarios are executed against the same database and hit the exact same tables and indices.
Query plans show that one step, a Clustered Index Seek, consumes most of the resources (57%) and for that the estimated rows = 1 and actual rows is 10 of 1000's time higher. (~ 23000).
The DTS execution effectively never finishes even after many hours (10+)
The Stored procedure execution will finish in 6 minutes (executed after the update ad-hoc query)
The Update ad-hoc query will finish in 2 minutes
For some reason, I run a stored procedure in Query Analyzer and it works fine. When I run the very same procedure in MS access by clicking on its link I have to run it twice. The first run gives me the message that the stored procedure ran correctly but returned no records. The second run gives me the correct number of records but I have to run it twice. I am running month-to-month data. The first run is Jan thru March. Jan and Feb have no records so I run three months on the first set. The ensuing runs are individual months from April onward. The output is correct but any ideas on why I have to do it twice in Access? I am a bit new to stored procedures but my supervisor assures me that it should be exactly the same.

Hi, I want to set the max and min of a query to the variable @Value1 and @Value2. However, when I do the following, both @Value1 and @Value2 pointed to the latest data. Do I have to use a subquery to do that or is that possible to do it directly?
DECLARE @Value1 DECIMAL(7,2)
DECLARE @Value2 DECIMAL(7,2)
SELECT TOP 20 @Value1=MIN(Value1), @Value2=MAX(Value2)FROM OrdersGROUP BY OrderID, Date
I have the stored procedure snipet below and it does not return anything.
What am I doing wrong here? I works ok if I need all the records for the dataset and don't use the WHERE and LIKE.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.search
@Field VARCHAR (20), @KeyWord VARCHAR (200), @errCode INT OUTPUT
ASBEGIN
DECLARE @guid uniqueidentifier DECLARE @subject NVARCHAR SELECT @guid = guid, @subject = subjectFROM myTable WHERE @Field LIKE @KeyWord
SELECT guid, subjectFROM myTable WHERE @Field LIKE @KeyWord
Thanks,

In Informix you can use a stored procedure as part of a SELECT statement:
SELECT ord_num, ord_date, ship_date, business_day_diff(ord_date, ship_date)
FROM order_table
business_day_diff is a stored procedure that uses a custom calendar to compute
business days. In fact, Informix stored procedures can return any data type. Apparently SQL Server stored procedures cannot be used in a SELECT like this.
Does anyone know of a straightforward way to accomplish the same purpose?
Say I have the following stored procedure that takes in 1 parameter, and to call it I would do this: exec stored_procedure_name 'param'
And it returns a result with 3 fields: column1, column2, column3
Now I'm only interested in getting the results for column1, is there a way to call the stored procedure to only return column1?
I tried this: select column1 from (exec stored_procedure_name 'param')
It doesnt' work...
Hello!
How do you use the value of one select statement within another select statement inside the same stored proc?
Here is my scenario: I need a row id from one select statement to make another select statement. I figured instead of making two calls from within my code I could just call one stored procedure which would have to be faster!
I have written plenty of select statement sp's but this is the first time I ever needed to do something like this.
Any suggestions?
How could I use SELECT TOP in stored procedure
For ex I want convert this line to Stored procedure
"Select Top "&intArticles&" * From tblArticles WHERE published = 1 ORDER BY Adate DESC, Atime DESC;"
I dont want use ROWCOUNT
because its not working good it will not show some data of some fields
for example if I have Subject and Body fields, in results it does not show body content, and it will show just subject :confused:
this is my current code
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SP_Articles]
(
@Articles int
)
AS
SET ROWCOUNT @Articles
SELECT tblArticles.*
FROM tblArticles
WHERE published = 1 ORDER BY Adate DESC;
SET ROWCOUNT 0
GO
and I use this code to call that from ASP
strSQL = "EXECUTE SP_Articles @Articles = " & intArticles
rsArt.CursorType = 1
rsArt.Open strSQL, strCon
so just tell me how to use TOP in stored procedure
Thanks
Hi everybody,
How can I select records from a SP?
For example:
My SP is the following:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spExample]
AS
Declare @SELECT_Text AS varchar(500)
Set @SELECT_Text='SELECT * FROM dbo.ExampleTable'
exec(@SQL_Text)
GO
I want to select from it:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.spExample
It doesn't work. Then how can I use the result of the SP???
Hey all! I have a quick question. Is it possible do formulate a select query where one of the tables is a recordset returned from a stored procedure? If so, what's the syntax?
In other words, if I have a stored proc whose last command is:
selectt.[Region_Code],
t.[Country_Code],
sum([Total]) as [Total]
from#tmp t
group by[Region_Code],
[Country_Code]
order by[Region_Code],
[Country_Code]
Then can I somehow get a handle on that cursor and join it to another table etc? Thanks!
I have a stored procedure that has many select statements in it. I want to call and execute the procedure in my c# code and put data returned by each select statement into separate grids. I could just write the select into the c# code and then execute as a dataset making that dataset the datasource for whatever grid but that defeats the purpose of stored procedures. Can I capture the data returned by each select in the stored procedure and have it put into a grid when the c# code is ran.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHelloI have many different tables, that most have the same structure.. they allhave some primary key, some fields and mylinkid ... so what I want to makeis to create a stored procedure, where I can pass the table-name, primarykey, and the new mylinkid, what should happen is, that the procedure copiesthe entrie, where i passed the id, to a new row and the mylink-id should getthe new value...example:mytable 1id=1 (primary key autoincrement)mylinkid=233field1=asdffield2=blablai call my procedure like: duplicate_entry 'mytable',1,4the result should then beid=2 (primary key/autincrement)mylinkid=4field1=asdffield2=blablaI was thinking to make a Stored Procedure, that copies the entier row with aselect * into mytable (SELECT * from mytable where id=1) and afterwards iupdate the mylinkid ..... but there i have problem with the primary key.The other solution that will work, but I won't like is to get with thesp_fields all fields from that specific table, build the select into withthe correct fields without the id-field... that should work, but was askingmyself if there is somethign better...Has someone a good idea for that?Thanks
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have code simililar to the following in a stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE GetGroupMembers
(
@GroupID INT
)
AS
SELECT TMembers.MemberID, VCurrentMemberGroups.GroupID, THonorsMembers.HonorID
FROM THonorsMembers LEFT OUTER JOIN
TMembers ON THonorsMembers.MemberID= TMembers.MemberID LEFT OUTER JOIN

When I call this stored procedure in Query Analyzer, it takes two minutes to execute. The web pages that rely on it time out before that. If I copy just the select statement and substitute the group I'm working with for @GroupID, it takes less than a second for the statement to run and display results.
Can anyone tell me why a select statement called through a stored procedure would take minutes longer than one ran from Query Analyzer? I have many other stored procedures that are just select statements like this with a variable or three and they have no problems completing execution in a timely manner.
I have a complex stored procedure that returns one or more nvarchar values given a syntax similar to this:
sp_MyProcedure 'Param1', 'Param2'
My issue is that the end goal is to get these values into a SQL query that I can call directly from something like Excel (no VBA or anything can be used). So far, I have come up with this:
********************************************************************************************************
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[#tmpTable] ([RetValue] NVARCHAR(30))
INSERT INTO [#tmpTable]
EXEC sp_MyProcedure 'Param1', 'Param2'
SELECT * FROM AnotherTable
WHERE (AnotherTable.ID IN (select * from [#tmpTable])) AND (AnotherTable.Year>2007)
drop table [#tmpTable]
********************************************************************************************************
That works, but it is incredibly sloppy once I have need to make 4 or 5 temp tables like that and then select from all of them inside the same query. So does anyone have any suggestions? Can I use a function to help out?
Thanks in advance,

hi everyone,
in SQLEXPRESS if I execute
