How many characters can be used in a query?
Say I have a query that inserts into a varchar(4000). I need to do ~100 of them. Can all this data be passed at once. Or would I need to break it up?
Thoughts?

I am new to SQL but have managed to create a table with five columns. The problem I am having is when I try and run the INSERT command I get an error "Maximum characters exceeded in SQL statement"
My table code is:
create table myemployees_MPA0510
(FirstName Varchar (15), LastName
varchar (20), Title varchar (25),
Age number (3), salary number (9));
And my INSERT code is:
Insert into myemployees_MPA0510
(First, Last, Title, Age, Salary)
Values ('Jonie', 'Weber', 'Secretary', 28, 19500.00) ('Potsy', 'Webber', 'Programmer', 32,
45300.00) ('Dirk', 'Smith', 'Programmer II', 45 75020.00) ('Mark', 'Aldridge' 'Technical', 52,
12000.00) ('Peter', 'Wright' 'Admin' 30, 11000.00) ('Lucy', 'May', 'Technical', 15500.00)
('Robert', 'Hurst', 'Finance', 54, 16000.00) ('Ann', 'Green', 'HR', 43, 21000.00);
I need to write a storedproc that receives the name of a table (as a string) and inside the stored proc uses select count(*) from <tablename>. The problem is the passed in tablename is a string so it can't be used in the select statement. Any ideas how I can do what I want?

Is there a way to alter the default 256 value to some other value in a transac SQL script?
The value can be changed manually in the advanced tab of the current connection options. I need to be able to set and reset this value in a script and/or stored procedure.
Kind of urgent for an answer to this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Can any one help me, i'm building a dynamic database driven site using dreamweaver and MS SQL2000 andi'm haveing problem storing over 8000 characters in a table filed (IE: it wont let me!!) is there a special table field value that i need to set to get more characters in a table field or is this a limitation of SQL.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

I'm a rookie with MSSQL. I need to run a DTS package to export a result setto an MX Excel spread sheet. I need to call the DTS from a stored procedureand pass it three values, depending on the input parameters to the storedproc.DTS package is no problem. Pretty easy with the DTS wizard. My problem isthat I can't figure out how to instansiate the DTS package object from astored proc and pass the three values as parameters to the DTS package sothey can populate the parameters I created in it.I found an article related to it, but I'm too much of a rookie to grasp it.It showed how to do this from a stored procedure:EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @oPKG, 'GlobalVariables("MyGVName").Value,'MyGVValue'IF @hr <> 0BEGINPRINT '*** GlobalVariable Assignment Failed'EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG, @hrENDI have three values and tree global variables to populate. Do I need to dothe above 3 times?How do I instantiate the package object? I've read up some on sp_OACreate,but I don't get it, yet.How do I initiate the variable @oPKG?It contains the name of the sp_OACreate string, right? How do I address aDTS package in the sp_OACreate string?I would really appreciate just writing out the sp_OACreate string and how Ipass values for three existing global variables to a DTS package named"DTS_1".I'm under some real pressure to get this done.Thanks for any help I can get.Gunny

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all, I've been struggling with this one for a while, but am still doing something wrong: I have three tables which need to be updated. I have a stored proc which accomplishes the first writes the data in for the first 2 tables. The last table is a one to many, so needs a seperate stored proc which will be called multiple times depending on the number of items in the order. My only question I am trying to get to here is: How do I get the first stored proc to return me the primary key value from the 1st insert (NOT the second)? I've tried a few different methods: the current one shown below returns me "2", as in the number of inserts performed. Dim InsertCmd As New SqlCommand("WriteOrder", oSQLConn)

Sorry if this is very stupid question, but i've spent too long searching for the answer:

I have a stored proc which should be returning a datatable. When I execute it manually it returns all requested results. However, when I call it via code (C#) it is returning a null table which leads me to believe the problem is in my code. I'm not getting any errors during runtime. Any help at all would be a BIG help!
private void PopulateControls() { DataTable table = CartAccess.getCart(); }
public static DataTable getCart() { DbCommand comm = GenericDataAccess.CreateCommand(); comm.CommandText = "sp_cartGetCart";
DbParameter param = comm.CreateParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@CartID"; param.Value = cartID; param.DbType = DbType.String; param.Size = 36; comm.Parameters.Add(param);
DataTable table = (GenericDataAccess.ExecuteSelectCommand(comm)); return table; }
public static DataTable ExecuteSelectCommand(DbCommand command) { // The DataTable to be returned DataTable table; // Execute the command making sure the connection gets closed in the end try { // Open the data connection command.Connection.Open(); // Execute the command and save the results in a DataTable DbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(); table = new DataTable(); table.Load(reader); // Close the reader reader.Close(); } catch (Exception ex) { Utilities.SendErrorLogEmail(ex); throw ex; } finally { // Close the connection command.Connection.Close(); } return table; }
I have a stored proc that inserts into a table variable (@ReturnTable) and then ends with "select * from @ReturnTable."
It executes as expected in Query Analyzer but when I call it from an ADO connection the recordset returned is closed. All the documentation that I have found suggests that table variables can be used this way. Am I doing somthing wrong?

View 20 Replies View Relatedwhat pro's cons would there be to having a linked server run a local stored proc against another sql server or create that stored proc on that other sql server and call it from there in the c# code.
i would think that calling the stored proc would be more efficient that running a linked server - but please let me know your thoughts. I'm not sure i can have permission to add a stored proc on that server, so possibly the linked server is the only solution - but if i can put a stored proc on that server should i?
thanks.

I have a situation where I need to call a stored procedure once per each row of table (with some of the columns of each row was its parameters). I was wondering how I can do this without having to use cursors.
Here are my simulated procs...
Main Stored Procedure: This will be called once per each row of some table.
-- All this proc does is, prints out the list of parameters that are passed to it.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MyMainStoredProc (
@IDINT,
@NameVARCHAR (200),
@SessionIDINT
)
AS
BEGIN
[Code] ....
Here is a sample call to the out proc...
EXEC dbo.MyOuterStoredProc @SessionID = 123
In my code above for "MyOuterStoredProc", I managed to avoid using cursors and was able to frame a string that contains myltiple EXEC statements. At the end of the proc, I am using sp_executesql to run this string (of multipl sp calls). However, it has a limitation in terms of string length for NVARCHAR. Besides, I am not very sure if this is an efficient way...just managed to hack something to make it work.
I am trying to use SSIS to update an AS400 DB2 database by calling a stored procedure on the AS400 using an OLE DB command object. I have a select statement running against the SQL Server 2005 that brings back 20 values, all of which are character strings, and the output of this select is piped into the OLE DB command object. The call from SSIS works just fine to pass parameters into the AS400 as long as the stored procedure being called does not have an output parameter defined in its signature. There is no way that I can find to tell the OLE DB command object that one of the parameters is an output (or even an input / output) parameter. As soon as one of the parameters is changed to an output type, I get an error like this:

Hello friends,
I am sorry to be posting this message in this forum. But thought if anyone does have any idea abt my problem, which i illustrate below.
I want to know what is the maximum number of columns that an INSERT statement can handle?
I have come across a situation where i need to insert 15 values in a table.
INSERT INTO myTable (col1, col2, col3,....., col15) VALUES (v1, v2, v3,...., v15).
Actual statement:
INSERT INTO BillSell (bnumber, stock, qty, price, tprice, seen, bill_id, brokerage, service_tax, brok_st, stt, brok_st_stt, total_cost, total_rate_pu, check)
VALUES ('ICICI 06-12-2004 reshma', 'RELIND', 10, 541.7375183271872, 5417.375183271873, 'no', 2402, 40.2375, 4.92507, 45.162569999999995, 6.771718979089841, 51.934288979089835, 5365.0, 536.5, 'check')
When I call this in Java program, it asks me to check the syntax of the statement as follows :
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'check) VALUES ('ICICI 06-12-2004 reshma', 'RELIND', 10, 541.7375183271872, 5417.' at line 1
Please make notice that all the data types of the table columns and the values passed in the statement match.
Now the problem is that, when from the above INSERT statement, i remove the last column (i.e. the "check" column and its corresponding value passed i.e. 'check'), the code works fine. I observe here that now there are 14 columns in the statement.
So i need the solutions for this. I cannot move further in the program......
Please help.

Hi,
I need to call a stored procdure from a SQL statement that I am running from query analyzer.
My SQL statement will select from a master table of bills. I have a stored procedure that calculates the amount due on each bill. The sp does not use the master table in the calculation.
How do I form the SQL statement to call the sp, which needs one of the master table columns as a parm?
i.e.
SELECT *, EXEC sp_abc columns name AS whatever
FROM tblMaster WHERE......
TIA!
Dave
For eg, insert into tab values ('She's a woman');
What are the other characters that'll fail the insert ?
TIA !
Hello,
i am pretty new to asp. I am trying to do a select statement for sending an email to everyone who is not an admin. the code is below, i know it must be fairly simple, yet i do not know how to do it. With the code below, I select everyone. I want to know how to do it properly, similar to the second which does not work.
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand("SELECT Username, Pass, Gender, FirstName, LastName, Email, NickName FROM tblUsers", conn)
DOES NOT WORK:
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand("SELECT Username, Pass, Gender, FirstName, LastName, Email, NickName FROM tblUsers WHERE Admin = 'N'", conn)
Thanks in advance.
Is there a way to call a stored procedure within a SELECT statement?Example;-----------SELECT FirstName, LastName, (EXEC UniqueID_KEYGEN @keyval output) AS UniqueIDINTO #tNewEmployeeFROM EmployeeTable-----------SELECT *FROM #tNewEmployeeThe return from the temp table would have a unique ID ready to insert into another table. Our DBA has this stored procedure to create unique ID's and is to be used on all INSERTS. I was used to having a Identity field do this for me, I don't know why we have to do it his way. Except for the reason of sequence and easily get the next record. But we don't use URL variables, only FORM or SESSION.Thanks for your help in advance.

Is it possible to call a stored procedure in a select statement?
For example:
SELECT Buyer, Country, (exec the sp_test*) as ItemList.....
*sp_test is a stored procedure with buyer and country as the input parameters and output a concatenated item numbers (example: F12345,A1023,C40165).
Hi,
to fully support SQL server 2005, I'd like to use DDL statements instead of deprecated stored procdure calls, I'm having trouble "translating" this one :
sp_fulltext_catalog 'catalogName', 'start_incremental';
The only option available with ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG are REORGANIZE and REBUILD.
Any idea ?

Hey Swynkers,
I've got a tricky one. I'm trying to do a SELECT statement to return all of our email fields that include the Newline character, or Char(13). I've tried all of the following with no result:

WHERE patindex(@NewLine, @Email) > 0
Any suggestions?
