Hello,
I want to use an optional parameter at the command line for my package.
I planned to make the first task a script which simply checks the variable (which is a string), and if it is empty, go one way, and if it is not, go another way. Is the best to go?
Many thnaks in advane
I am not sure if this has been asked before but I couldn't find any thread talking about this.
Let's say we have a parameter in the .sql input file called @Start_Date, how can we pass the value of a particular date, for example, "02-28-2007" to @Start_Date via SQLCMD? is it possible?
I'm trying to skip the need to write a simple windows application...if things can be achieved via dos command line, that will keep everything simple!
thanks! :)

Hello,
Is it possible to define optional parameters for a stored procedure?
What I want is to create a search with about 8 parameters, but most users will only use 3 or 4, so It would be nice If I could only provide the used parameters in my code. And have sql give the unused parameters a default value (possibly %)
thx.
I need to use a parameter in a stored procedure that is optional and if it is optional I need all records returned, even if there is an entry in the field that the parameter is appllied to. Is this possible? I know I can assign a default value. but the value in the field could be one of many choices. I want to be able to specify a choice and have only those records returned or leave it blank and return all records.
Thanks for any help,

hi all,
I am using SQL reporting services 2005, i like to have a parameter as optional, is there is any diresct way to set a parameter as optional without setting through the default value.
Hi, I'm having some issues with the SqlDataSource. I want to use it
to
populate a GridView, but using an optional parameter to filter the
results.
This is what I have right now (hopefully haven't made any typos
- can't
copy/paste):
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="test1" runat="server"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM
SomeTable WHERE (@MyParam IS NULL OR MyColumn =
@MyParam) ORDER BY
SomeColumn" ConnectionString="<%
ConnectionStrings:MyConnString %>" >
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="MyParam"
ControlID="DropDownList1"
PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String"
ConvertEmptyStringToNull="True"
DefaultValue=""
/>
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:DropDownList
ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True">
<asp:ListItem
Selected="True" Value="">All</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>AnotherValue</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>SomeElse</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Whatever</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:GridView
ID="GV" runat="server" DataSourceID="test1"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataKeyNames="SomeID"
<columns>
<asp:BoundField
DataField="SomeColumn" HeaderText="A Title"
SortExpression="SomeColumn"
/>
(more bound columns here...)
</columns>
</asp:GridView>
When I test the SQL query in
the query designer it works (returns only rows
having the value passed as a
parameter when one is specified, otherwise it
returns all rows), so it seems
like that part is OK. The "All" (as in
"return all"/no filtering) entry in
the DropDownList has a value of a zero
lenght string, and the
ControlParameter has the convert empty string to null
to true (and the
default value is the same), so it should get converted to a
null when "All"
is selected, hence returning all rows. But it doesn't work.
It works fine for
all the entries with text, but the zero lenght string
somehow doesn't work -
I get no results at all instead of it returning all
rows (but the query
itself worked fine when I tested it).
What am I missing? I just can't
find what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas/hints?
(I also need to do the same with
an ObjectDataSource, so hopefully I can get
this to work!) I can't think of
an easy way to find out if the zero lenght
string gets converted to a null or
not (I've even tried adding OR @MyParam =
'' to the query and it still didn't
work....) Right now I'm stuck....
(Also posted this question on microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet newsgroup)
Thanks a lot in advance for the

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a query with 17 separate, optional, parameters. I have declared each parameter = NULL so that I can test for NULL in the case that the user didn€™t not pass in the parameter.
I am new enough to SQL Server that I am having difficulty building the WHERE clause with all of these optional parameters.
One solution I was advised on by a well paid SQL programmer, was to use a string in the stored proc and dynamically build the WHERE clause and exec it at the end of the sp. But the whole point of a stored proc is that it can be compiled and cached to make it faster, yet the string approach makes it have to compile every time it€™s run! Not a good solution, but maybe it€™s the best I can do . . .
I have tried many different approaches using different functions, etc. but I€™ve hit a brick wall. Any help in sorting it out with YOUR techniques would be greatly appreciated:
1. To add the parameter to the WHERE clause and test for NULL I€™ve used the COALESCE function such as €œWHERE table.fieldname = COALESCE(@Param, table.fieldname)€?. This works well if there is only one item in the parameter, but in the case that I pass multiple items to the parameter, it completely fails.
2. To handle multiple items, for example, if @Param = €˜3,7,98€™ (essentially, a csv separated list of keys)
Code SnippetWHERE table.fieldname IN(COALESCE(@Param, table.fieldname))
doesn€™t work because @Param needs to be parsed from a string into an array of integers in the parameter. So, I am using a UDF I discovered to parse the multi-item parameter. The UDF can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsqlmag01/html/TreatYourself.asp and it returns a table variable that can be used in an IN statement. So I€™m using
Code SnippetISNULL(table.fieldname, 0) IN (SELECT value FROM dbo.fn_Split(@Param,€™,€™))
which works brilliantly in my WHERE statement AS LONG AS @Param ISN€™T NULL. So how do I test for NULL first and still use this approach to multi-item parameters?
I€™ve tried
Code SnippetWHERE @Param IS NULL OR ISNULL(table.fieldname, 0) IN (SELECT value FROM dbo.fn_Split(@Param,€™,€™))
and though it works, the OR causes it to slow way down as it compares every record for the OR. (It slows down by approximately 800%.) The other thing I tried was
Code SnippetISNULL (table.fieldname, 0) IN (CASE WHEN @Param IS NULL THEN ISNULL(table.fieldname, 0) ELSE (SELECT value FROM dbo.fn_Split(@Param,€™,€™)))
This fails with €œSubquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression€? due to the multiple values in the parameter. (I can€™t understand why the line without the CASE statement works, but the CASE line doesn€™t!)
Am I even on the right track, cuz this is driving me mad and I just need a way to deal with optional multi-item parameters in an IN statement? HELP!
I have two tables: eg. a person-table (no nulls allowed), with an idand so on, and a person_course table (an intermediate table in amany-to many relationship between person table and courses tables),with two fields person_id and course_id.But I want to make ONE multipurpose stored procedure, which has ONLYoptional parameters on all fields in the person table AND the fieldcourse_id in the person_course table.I have no problems making optional parameters on the person table (eg.P.ID=ISNULL(@PersonID, P.ID ) ) BUT the problem is, when I try to addan optional parameter on the field course_id it dosn't produce theright results. Some times the course_id is null (because some personshavn't joined a class yet).Is there a way around it?Ole S. Pedersen
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
my problem is that i have a integer report parameter that must be multivalued. The parameter is populated by query. The thing is that in the beginning, there is no data in the dataset of the specific parameter. The table which is source to the dataset will br populated after some time from an XML.
Reporting services prompts the user to select a value for the parameter. But there is no value to select, yet. I cannot have leave blank because it is a string and not an int and i cannot have null because the parameter is multivalued. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time and help!

In my report I have two parameters PID and patientName, but user want to enter either PID or patientName. When I preview the report user can only enter one parameter not both. Is there any way  to create two parameter available but users can enter only one parameter value?Here is my report layout and query I used for that report. These two parameters comes from one column 'String_NVC' as from query and column name 'Description' as from the report layout.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to insert into a table 2 values one of which is an

now what I want to do is put col2 in there as well!!
ie. insert into mytable99(col1,col2) values (exec master..xp_cmdshell @command, '123')

Could anyone help re the proper way of doing this ... thanks in advance
I use a similar command below to insert into a temp table the result of a large command line call to an exectable with many parameters passed in the command of which the result passed back contains many items. I then parse the response string to get my results...
set @command = 'dir'
insert into tsverisign(response) exec master..xp_cmdshell @command
My question is our can I insert two values at the same time to this same table one of which is my "exec master..xp_cmdshell @command"
similar to insert into tables (field_a, feild_b) values ('1','2')
Something like (and I know this does not work):
insert into tsverisign(response,trans_id)
values (exec master..xp_cmdshell @command, '123')
Any help would be greatly appreciated .... PS I'm new to MS SQL 2000 and proper syntax etc. etc. so I need full example so I can try. :rolleyes:

Hi all,
A quick newbie question...
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard and upgrade from Express edition. The Edition Change check tells me I must run the setup from the command prompt "and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter", but I don't know how to enter this from the command line.
I've tried "D:setup SKUUPGRADE=1" and "D:setup -SKUUPGRADE=1", as well as "D:setup.exe /SKUUPGRADE=1" without success.
Can anyone give me a clue as to where I'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone!
Bit of a problem executing a DTS command from a command line.
I have the following variables defined in my package:
UserVarchar1
UserVarchar2
UserVarchar3
All have a scope of Package, all of the mstrings
The command I'm attempting to run in 1 line is:
DTEXEC /FILE "C:SSIS PackagesED-CustomersPackage.dtsx"
/SET Package.Variables[User::UserVarchar1].value;"10"
/SET Package.Variables[User::UserVarchar2].value;"30719"
/SET Package.Variables[User::UserVarchar3].value;"BILLTO"
Description: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "Package.Variables[User::UserVarchar1].value". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found.
DTExec: Could not set Package.Variables[User::UserVarchar1].value value to 10.
Any idea why?
Thanks for the help!
Hey Folks,
I have inherited a project from a co-worker who has had a family tradegy, and I am trying to get up to speed with her project.
We have an SQL server 7 database which is getting backed up every night (by SQL itself) into a .BAK file. I need to know if it is possible to restore this file from the command line (a DOS prompt.) I know (or think I know) how to do it from within SQL Enterprise Manager, however the specific needs of this project require it be done from a command line on the machine.
I really am not an SQL guru...I don't even think I qualify as "knowing what I am doing" at all, so any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated. This is kind og urgent, so your thoughts are welcome!
Thanks!
