Optional WHERE In Stored Procedures
Aug 30, 2004
Hello guys,
I want to implement a searching with a stored procedure. As an example I have a table like
> tableA ; Id,Name,Surname,Gender(bit) 0 -Male , 1 - Female
If i want to choose all records that are male, I could simply have a query like this :
SELECT * FROM tableA WHERE Gender = 0
and vice versa for female.
If i want to choose all rows in the table i should omit where clause.
The problem is , when i use a stored procedure i should send a parameter. And i dont know if there is a possible way to to do this. When i try such procedure :
CREATE astoredprc
(@gender bit)
AS
SELECT * FROM tableA WHERE Gender = @Gender
GO
--
In such prc. i can only get rows with a where clause. What if i want to use the same procedure with all rows and omiting where. I have many fields like this and I m unsure if I should use a text query or not ...
Thanks for all of u from now on

I need to create a SP that will accept a varying number of input parameters. A form that the user completes has a several controls that serve to narrow the number of records returned. The more parameters given, the fewer rows returned. In the past I have accomplished this by dynamically building an SQL statement. I dosen't appear possible to pass an SQL statement in a variable to a SP. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

I've created a search page in my asp.net app that allows the user to enter optional parameters to narrow down the result set. It looks something like:Find all parts where: manuafacturer: <dropdownlist>ANY | manufacturer 1 |... </dropdownlist> model: <dropdownlist>ANY | model 1 |... </dropdownlist> cost: between <textbox> and <textbox> dollarsCurrently I create the SQL command on the fly building the WHERE based on what the user selects. For example if in the form above they select manufacturer = manufacturer1 model = ANY cost = between 10 and 15the WHERE string is ... WHERE manufacturer='manufacturer1' AND cost BETWEEN 10 AND 15Since the user doesn't care about model I leave it out of the WHERE. OK so here is my question. I want to move my queries to strored procedures however I'm not sure how to create the query since it changes based on what the user enters. Using the example above I'm assuming I can create one query with 4 parameters however what value would I use for ANY? parameter1 (manufacturer) = "manufacturer1" parameter2 (model) = ??? parameter3 (price low) = 10 parameter4 (proce high) = 15I see there is an ANY operator in T-SQL but it doesn't look like the right thing to use. Should I use LIKE '%'? Seems that using LIKE would result in addition overhead.ThanksSimon

I have a web page I want to run a stored procedure from. In the web page I have three drop downs Business Area, Business Unit and Reporting PeriodThe drop downs determine whether all projects are returned or all projects for a certain business unit / business area or month.This means I have to tailor my sql statement accordingly. What I want to know is can I append sections of a sql statement ie add or subtract more where clauses depending on the values pulled in from the web page.At the moment I have only accounted for 2 variables and that has caused me to create 4 IF statements depending on the values. 3 variables would cause even more IF statements and multiple combinations which I am trying to avoid.

Hi I have a textbox, and a dropdown list, What i am trying to do is give the user the option of searching based on both (textbox and dropdownlist) or one or the other(textbox or dropdownlist), What i am experiencing though is that when i enter a word into the textbox and select a value from a dropdownlist i get no search results even though the word is "like" the text in the database, it will only work when i type out the full word. What is wrong with my stored procedure, here it is;
SELECT S.storeID, S.storeName
FROM dbo.Stores AS SINNER JOIN dbo.storeCategories AS SC
ON S.storeID = SC.storeID left JOIN dbo.SubCategories AS SU
ON SC.subCategoryID = SU.subCategoryID
WHERE S.storeName like ISNULL(@storeName + '%', S.storeName)
AND SU.subCategoryID = ISNULL( @subCategoryID, SU.subCategoryID)

Title speaks for itself really.
Is it possible to write a stored proc with optional parameters?
For example consider the following SELECT
SELECT FLD1, FLD2 FLD3 FROM TBL1
I'd like to add optional parameters to that statement so that if they wanted to narrow down the results by providing criteria for some fields they could - but didn't have to.
Is this possible?

Hi all,
Can anyone please tell me what is the best way to handle optional parameters in a stored procedure which will ensure a good execution plan? I ask this as I have to create a stored procedure with six optional parameters and I'm getting a little concerned that, apart from the parameter issue, I'm going to have a lot of if else statements. Is there an easy way of doing all this?
Thanks

Everyone,I have an application that pulls a list of employees into a web form. I use the same stored procedure to search for employees by various demographic characteristics, and have set all of these search parameters to be optional in the stored procedure.Everything works fine when I pull the entire list (without declaring any select parameters). However, on my Search page, I have declared a number of SelectParameter (ControlParameters, to be specific) objects and mapped each one to its respective control (text boxes and a checkbox). When I attempt a search, the SqlDataSource does not select any records unless I specify an argument for ALL of the search parameters. If I omit even a single search value, the page just posts back and does not pull any information from the database. I have verified with SQL Profiler that it is not attempting to hit the database.I have experimented with various declarations in the ControlParameter object, including the DefaultValue and ConvertEmptyStringToNull items. If I specify a non-empty string as a DefaultValue for all of the parameters, it will perform the query, but it does not query if I use an empty string as a default value - unless my user specifies a value in the form. Any ideas?ThanksTim

Hi I want to give the user the ability to search based on a number of criteria, however i do not know how to build my statement properly this is what i have so far;
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stream_StoreFind]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@StoreName varchar(250),@subCategoryID INT
AS
SELECT Stores.StoreName ,StoreCategories.storeIDFROM Stores INNER JOIN
StoreCategoriesON
Stores.storeID = StoreCategories.storeID INNER JOIN
SubCategories ON
StoreCategories.subCategoryID = SubCategories.subCategoryID WHERE
My problem is how will i pass the parameters into the statement, taking into fact that sometimes they may be optional. Thank you

I have a stored procedure that updates about a dozen rows.
I have some overloaded functions that I should update different combinations of the rows - 1 function might update 3 rows, another 7 rows.
Do I have to write a stored procedure for each function or I can I handle it in the Stored Procedure. I realise I can have default values but I the default values could overwrite actual data if the values are not supplied but have been previously written.
Many thanks for any guidance.

If I do this with a function and multiple inline sql statements, I could probably do it much easier, but here at work, sprocs are required, and I can't seem to stretch my knowledge and Google searches far enough to find the answer. Plus, I don't really think that creating 4 separate sProcs is the most efficient way of doing this
I need to select and return 8 columns from a table, but the problem is I need to feed the sProc parameters in such a way, that I can use different criteria in the Where Clause.
for instance, I need to combine these 4 select statements into one:1. Select (fields) from (table) Where TechID=@TechID and Status=@Status)2. Select (fields) from (table) Where TechID=@TechID3. Select (fields) from (table) Where OrdNum=@OrdNum3. Select (fields) from (table) Where CustNum=@CustNum
In all instances, the fields and the table are the same - how can I combine all these possible Where clauses (if/then - Select Case?) so that it's only one Stored Procedure?
(or, is this even possible?)

I expected Optional ByRef nArg as Integer=123 to setup a sp arg with a default value of 123. Doesn't look like it does. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
Also, I can't write a function with a return using AS System.Int32. There is no RETURN sp arg.
Both situations compile/deploy without error.

I have the following stored procedure:
Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE udsp_td_queryowner
@state varchar(10) = NULL,
@businesstype varchar(20) = NULL,
@size int = NULL,
@sortorder varchar(20) = 'state'
AS
SELECT gl_t.state AS [State],
gl_t.business_type AS [Business Type],
gl_t.lowsize AS [Low Size],
gl_t.highsize AS [High Size],
e.InternetAddress AS [Owner]
FROM gl_territory gl_t JOIN employee e ON gl_t.employeenumber = e.EmployeeNumber
WHERE state = COALESCE(@state, state) AND
business_type = COALESCE(@businesstype, business_type) AND
COALESCE(@size, lowsize, highsize) between lowsize AND highsize
ORDER BY CASE WHEN @sortorder = 'state' THEN gl_t.state
WHEN @sortorder = 'business type' THEN gl_t.business_type
WHEN @sortorder = 'owner' THEN RTRIM(e.FirstName) + ' ' + RTRIM(e.LastName)
END ASC,
CASE WHEN @sortorder = 'low size' THEN gl_t.lowsize
WHEN @sortorder = 'high size' THEN gl_t.highsize
END ASC,
CASE WHEN @sortorder = 'statedesc' THEN gl_t.state
WHEN @sortorder = 'business typedesc' THEN gl_t.business_type
WHEN @sortorder = 'ownerdesc' THEN RTRIM(e.FirstName) + ' ' + RTRIM(e.LastName)
END DESC,
CASE WHEN @sortorder = 'low sizedesc' THEN gl_t.lowsize
WHEN @sortorder = 'high sizedesc' THEN gl_t.highsize
END DESC
What it allows me to do is enter in any number of the variables when running the stored procedure. For example, EXECUTE udsp_td_queryowner @state = 'IA' would give me everything in the table in the state of IA regardless of the other field values. Likewise, if I ran EXECUTE udsp_td_queryowner @state = 'KY', @size = 15 it would return the records that are in KY and the size of 15 is in the range of the low and high value.
If I run the first example in Query Analyzer I get 53 records from the data I have. It returns every record that has IA as the state. I run the same thing in Reporting Services and all I get is 3 records. Just the 3 records for the state of IA where the business type is either null or blank (I can't tell.) If I allow all of the variables to accept Nulls then it returns the correct data. However, I would like to find a better alternative because when the report is run it returns all of the records in the table initially and if they user wants to enter in any parameters they have to toggle off the null box for the corresponding paramter.
Any ideas?

Hi,
This Might be a really simple thing, however we have just installed SQL server 2005 on a new server, and are having difficulties with the set up of the Store Procedures. Every time we try to modify an existing stored procedure it attempts to save it as an SQL file, unlike in 2000 where it saved it as part of the database itself.
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter

Using SQL 2005, SP2. All of a sudden, whenever I create any stored procedures in the master database, they get created as system stored procedures. Doesn't matter what I name them, and what they do.
For example, even this simple little guy:
CREATE PROCEDURE BOB
AS
PRINT 'BOB'
GO
Gets created as a system stored procedure.
Any ideas what would cause that and/or how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jason

Seems like I'm stealing all the threads here, : But I need to learn :) I have a StoredProcedure that needs to return values that other StoredProcedures return.Rather than have my DataAccess layer access the DB multiple times, I would like to call One stored Procedure, and have that stored procedure call the others to get the information I need. I think this way would be more efficient than accessing the DB multiple times. One of my SP is:SELECT I.ItemDetailID, I.ItemDetailStatusID, I.ItemDetailTypeID, I.Archived, I.Expired, I.ExpireDate, I.Deleted, S.Name AS 'StatusName', S.ItemDetailStatusID, S.InProgress as 'StatusInProgress', S.Color AS 'StatusColor',T.[Name] AS 'TypeName', T.Prefix, T.Name AS 'ItemDetailTypeName', T.ItemDetailTypeID FROM [Item].ItemDetails I INNER JOIN Item.ItemDetailStatus S ON I.ItemDetailStatusID = S.ItemDetailStatusID INNER JOIN [Item].ItemDetailTypes T ON I.ItemDetailTypeID = T.ItemDetailTypeID However, I already have StoredProcedures that return the exact same data from the ItemDetailStatus table and ItemDetailTypes table.Would it be better to do it above, and have more code to change when a new column/field is added, or more checks, or do something like:(This is not propper SQL) SELECT I.ItemDetailID, I.ItemDetailStatusID, I.ItemDetailTypeID, I.Archived, I.Expired, I.ExpireDate, I.Deleted, EXEC [Item].ItemDetailStatusInfo I.ItemDetailStatusID, EXEC [Item].ItemDetailTypeInfo I.ItemDetailTypeID FROM [Item].ItemDetails IOr something like that... Any thoughts?

Greetings:
I have MSSQL 2005. On earlier versions of MSSQL saving a stored procedure wasn't a confusing action. However, every time I try to save my completed stored procedure (parsed successfully ) I'm prompted to save it as a query on the hard drive.
How do I cause the 'Save' action to add the new stored procedure to my database's list of stored procedures?
Thanks!

We recently upgraded to SQL Server 2005. We had several stored procedures in the master database and, rather than completely rewriting a lot of code, we just recreated these stored procedures in the new master database.
For some reason, some of these stored procedures are getting stored as "System Stored Procedures" rather than just as "Stored Procedures". Queries to sys.Objects and sys.Procedures shows that these procs are being saved with the is_ms_shipped field set to 1, even though they obviously were not shipped with the product.
I can't update the sys.Objects or sys.Procedures views in 2005.
What effect will this flag (is_ms_shipped = 1) have on my stored procedures?
Can I move these out of "System Stored Procedures" and into "Stored Procedures"?
Thanks!

Hello
I'm start to work with SSIS.
We have a lot (many hundreds) of old (SQL Server2000) procedures on SQL 2005.
Most of the Stored Procedures ends with the following commands:
SET @SQLSTRING = 'SELECT * INTO ' + @OutputTableName + ' FROM #RESULTTABLE'
EXEC @RETVAL = sp_executeSQL @SQLSTRING
How can I use SSIS to move the complete #RESULTTABLE to Excel or to a Flat File? (e.g. as a *.csv -File)
I found a way but I think i'ts only a workaround:
1. Write the #Resulttable to DB (changed Prozedure)
2. create data flow task (ole DB Source - Data Conversion - Excel Destination)
Does anyone know a better way to transfer the #RESULTTABLE to Excel or Flat file?
Thanks for an early Answer

I am writing a set of store procedures (around 30), most of them require the same basic logic to get an ID, I was thinking to add this logic into an stored procedure.
The question is: Would calling an stored procedure from within an stored procedure affect performance? I mean, would it need to create a separate db connection? am I better off copying and pasting the logic into all the store procedures (in terms of performance)?
Thanks in advance

Hi all - I'm trying to optimized my stored procedures to be a bit easier to maintain, and am sure this is possible, not am very unclear on the syntax to doing this correctly. For example, I have a simple stored procedure that takes a string as a parameter, and returns its resolved index that corresponds to a record in my database. ie
exec dbo.DeriveStatusID 'Created'
returns an int value as 1
(performed by "SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName= 'Created')
but I also have a second stored procedure that needs to make reference to this procedure first, in order to resolve an id - ie:
exec dbo.AddProduct_Insert 'widget1'
which currently performs:SET @statusID = (SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName='Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID)
I want to simply the insert to perform (in one sproc):
SET @statusID = EXEC deriveStatusID ('Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID)
This works fine if I call this stored procedure in code first, then pass it to the second stored procedure, but NOT if it is reference in the second stored procedure directly (I end up with an empty value for @statusID in this example).
My actual "Insert" stored procedures are far more complicated, but I am working towards lightening the business logic in my application ( it shouldn't have to pre-vet the data prior to executing a valid insert).
Hopefully this makes some sense - it doesn't seem right to me that this is impossible, and am fairly sure I'm just missing some simple syntax - can anyone assist?
