Passing A List Of Numbers To A Stored Procudure, Having A Size More Than 8000 Characters
Aug 1, 2007
Hi..
I m working on MS SQL Server 2000.
I am trying to pass a list of numbers to a stored procedure to be used with 'IN()' statement.
I was doing something like..
Create Procedure proc
(
@Items varchar(100) --- List of numbers
)
AS Begin
Declare @SQL varchar(8000)
Set @SQL =
'
Select Query......
Where products IN (' + @items + ') '
'
Exec (@SQL)
This stored procedure is working fine, but when i m adding more required stuff to that, the size exceeds 8000, & it gives the error "Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text."
if a user chooses to request a lot of customers to report on say from a multi select listbox - what is the best way to pass this list to my stored proc? Looking for suggestions. thanks,
Hi all,I have a internet page written in asp to submit into authorscurriculum vitae publications (title, author, year, etc.).If the author submit less than 8000 characters it functions OK, but Ifthe author try's to submit more than 8000 characters the asp page doesnot return an error but the text is not saved in the database or,sometimes, it returned a "Typ mismatch" error.Here is the sp:---------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE PROCEDURE sp_CV_publications(@formCommandnvarchar(255)='process',@id numeric=null,@id_personint=null,@typPubID tinyint= NULL,@publicationstext=null)ASif @formCommand='process'beginINSERT INTO CV_publications(idperson,typPubID,publications)VALUES (@id_person@typPubID,@publications);select 1 as status, @@IDENTITY AS insertedID, * FROMCV_publications WHERE id=@@IDENTITYend----------------------------------------------------------------------------The server is running IIS5 and SqlServer 2000Any ideas ???
Problem about pass a big string (over 8000 characters) to a variable nvarchar(max) in stored procedure in SQL 2005! I know that SQL 2005 define a new field nvarchar(max) which can stored 2G size string. I have made a stored procedure Hellocw_ImportBookmark, but when I pass a big string to @Insertcontent , the stored procedure can't be launch! why? create procedure Hellocw_ImportBookmark @userId varchar(80), @FolderId varchar(80), @Insertcontent nvarchar(max) as declare @contentsql nvarchar(max); set @contentsql=N'update cw_bookmark set Bookmark.modify(''declare namespace x="http://www.hellocw.com/onlinebookmark"; insert '+ @Insertcontent+' as last into (//x:Folder[@Id="'+@FolderId+'"])[1]'') where userId='''+@userID+''''; exec sp_executesql @contentsql;
as declare @contentsql nvarchar(max); set @contentsql=N'update cw_bookmark set Bookmark.modify(''declare namespace x="http://www.hellocw.com/onlinebookmark"; insert '+ @Insertcontent+' as last into (//x:Folder[@Id="'+@FolderId+'"])[1]'') where userId='''+@userID+''''; exec sp_executesql @contentsql;
I have a MDX query which is of an aprox length of 10000 characters. I have to execute the query from within the stored procedure in sql. To run this query I use the openrowset method.
If the length of my query is less than 8000 characters my query executes perfectly, but the moment it exceeds 8000 characters it stop working. Please suggest a solution for the same.
In SS 2000 it seems that there is no variable data type that can hold more than 8000 characters (varchar) or 4000 unicode characters (nvarchar). I've seen posts where multiple variables are spliced together to extend this limit. I am looking at performing string manipulations in an sproc and I need to be able to deal with the full 2GB/1GB limit of text and ntext field types. Is this possible? How do you deal with that?
I had a VARCHAR(MAX) parameter declared in my stored procedure and trying to concatenat single column from a table which has~500 rows into a string and keep in this variable, if i am not mistaken, i read that the VARCHAR(MAX) actually can hold up to 2GB of data, so it make me confuse why the variable which i declared as MAX size, can only hold up 8000 characters, any idea?
Hello, I'd greatly appreciated if someone can help me out on this problem: I'd like to pass a string (which is a multiple value in this case - "Smith", "Lee", "Jones", "Hanson") as an input parameter to a stored procedure. I'd like to use this string as part of the select statement:
exec sp_GetLN "smith, lee, jones, hanson"
In the stored procedure: @strLN varchar <- "smith, lee, jones, hanson"
/*What do I need to do here to SET/REPLACE the original string so that the syntax can be accepted by the select statement??*/
SELECT * from tblCustomers WHERE LASTNAME IN (@strLN)
It looks simple but I've been trying to get the syntax to work. What can I do to change the quote from ' to "?? Can I use char(34) like VB?? Your help is greatly appreciated~
Hi I have a BULK INSERT task to do, inserting contents of a file per row.. (not lines total contents of text files) but it seems 8000 is the max size of a field in SQL 2000 ?
Hi, I m using sql 2005 as a back end in my application... I am useing Store procedure..for my data in grid..

Please Hel[p me !!! Thank you !!!
I have a stored procedure (see below), in which I would like to check if the create an identity column and make it a primary key succeeded. I check @@error after the exec statement. This used to pick up an error if the table already had an identity column. It has stopped doing that. Why? And, if this is not the way to capture the error after the exec statement, how do I do it?

I have a quick question for you about SQL stored procedures. If I'min a stored procedure and want to call another stored procedure andreturn values from the second stored procedure what is the procedure?I know you do the following to run the second stored procedure and passin any parameters:EXEC GetAuthorBooks @AuthorIDSo if I wanted the GetAuthorBooks to return all the books for an authorand then populate a temp table in the original stored procedure, how doI return those records, and populate the temp table?What do I have to add to this line: EXEC GetAuthorBooks @AuthorID?
I wrote this sql function which takes a comma seperated string of numbers, splits the numbers seperately and stores it in a table. I have specified the input parameter type as text instead of varchar, the size of the string can get more than 8000.
But the function is not working properly if the input size is more than 8000. For example if the input string is of length 8005 and this is the input string from 7995 to 8005 - '123,124,125'. It works fine till 123 and after that it throws an error, Syntax error converting the varchar value '124,125' to a column of data type int. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this. I am using string functions like charindex, substring. I can post the full function if you want.
Hello all,I have a stored procedure that prompts the user for beginning date andending date to run a monthly report. The prompt saysEnter_Beginning_Date and Enter_Ending_Date. I want the prompt to sayEnter Beginning Date (Example:1-1-2003) or something like that. Isthere a way to do this?CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MonthlyReport(@Enter_Beginning_Date datetime,@Enter_Ending_Date datetime)AS SELECT incident, @Enter_Beginning_Date AS BeginningDate,@Enter_Ending_Date AS EndingDate, COUNT(*) AS OccurancesFROM dbo.IncidentWHERE (DateOccured BETWEEN @Enter_Beginning_Date AND@Enter_Ending_Date)GROUP BY incidentGO
I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)
SELECT @idAgency = idAgency FROM tblAgencies WHERE strAgencyId = @strAgencyId;
SELECT strName, strAddress1, strAddress2, strCounty, strCountry, strPostcode, strTelephone, strFax, bitActive, bitHeadOffice, bitFinanceBranch FROM tblBranches WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency
SELECT strFirstName, strSurname, strUsername, bitActive FROM tblUsers WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency
GO
It basically first declare's and sets @idAgency using the first small select statment, then uses that parameter to run two more selects queries which I want sending to a dataset. Now within the Query Analyzer this works fine. But in my asp.net page it trows up this error:
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'spAdminAgencyActivate_Select'
Now the code im using in the asp.net page is as follows:
Dim objSqlConnection as New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("strCon")) Dim objSqlCommand_Select as New SqlCommand("spAdminAgencyActivate_Select", objSqlConnection)
Can anyone help? I believe the error is in the stored procedure somewhere, because if I change the stored procedure so no parameters are being passed to it then it starts working. This is what I comment out and change for it to to get it working, but obviously this is not satisfactory as a final result because the parameter is hard coded in the stored procedure. Im just showing this to see if it gives anyone a clue!!
Hello, I was wondering if there is any method that I can use to determine if a field (defined as text) has any character fields or is really a number. I want to figure out if a field is truly all numeric, and out of curiosity, was wondering if there was a way in SQL or T-SQL. Thanks.
I have a feeling I'll be forced to use a script and a trigger for thistype of field format but I'm wondering if any of your wizards couldpoint at a simple way I could do something like this:For example, if I want to be able to keep track of new orders followingthis incrementing convention:ORD100000001ORD100000002ORD100000003.... etc ...Does MSSQL2000 have features that I can simply set for this kind offield or will I be resorting to writing up a SQL script and a trigger?
I'm trying to put conditional formatting on a field, that behaves as follows:
The data in the field is varchar, and sample data is either:
NULL 3.0 :0 11.7 :1 (these are ratios of a sort)
I want to evaluate the first 3 characters of the string as numbers.
Example: Mid(fieldvalue,1,3) = "3.0" or "11."
Any data that is greater than 1.99, I want to make the background dark red, anything else including nulls, zebra formatting. I have the following expression built so far and it appears to work, except when the value is null. If the value is null, it leaves the background color white.
This is the warning: [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the text box "Asthma" contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=iif( isnothing(Fields!Asthma.Value) ,(IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1")) ,(iif(mid(Fields!Asthma.Value,1,3)>1.99 ,"DarkRed" ,IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))))
My logic is, if the field is null, zebra format, if mid of the value is > 1.99, dark red, everything else zebra formatting. As I said, this seems to work except for nulls.
i would to make a column contains of 3 characters and 6 auto increment numbers (example: "DLL - 123456")
and made it primary key and which data type i should use. i do not know whether i use after insert trigger in two columns one for three characters and another for code which has identity property >>>so please help me

A table I'm working with has a varchar column containing a comma-delimited string of numbers, which match up to smallint codes in another table. I gather this is someone's implementation of a many-to-many relationship. :)

I have a sql statement and one of the arguments I want to pass is a comma delimited set of numbers. It keeps getting turned into a string. How do I keep that from happening. Here is kind of what it looks likeSelect FirstNamefrom Userwhere NameID in (5,6,7)or Select FirstNamefrom Userwhere NameID in (@NameIDList)There is no error code just nothing returns. If I take out the @ANameIDList and put the values I want, it returns the correct results.Thanks,Bryan PS the link to the original thread it here http://forums.asp.net/1046154/ShowPost.aspx
in the statement, where @sql is defined as DECLARE @sql varchar(Max). the problem is that this statement produces results that are in excess of 8000 characters and the results are truncated. Is there anyway to avoid this? I know that it's not possible to user ntext/text as a local variable, and if i try to return the result as an ouput paramater, only the first result is returned.
my code is based off of this article http://www.sqlteam.com/article/dynamic-cross-tabs-pivot-tables Thanks for any suggestions.
I have data in a table Item_TB that I need to extract in a way that pulls out the distinct pax name and all the ticket numbers associated with the passenger per booking reference.
The data is:
Branch Folder ID Pax TktNo BookingRef HQ 123 1 Jim 4444 ABCDE HQ 123 2 Bob 5555 ABCDE HQ 123 3 Jim 6666 ABCDE HQ 123 4 Bob 7777 ABCDE HQ 124 1 Jenny 8888 FGHIJ HQ 124 2 Jenny 9999 FGHIJ HQ 124 3 Jenny 3333 FGHIJ
I somehow need to get a function to pull the data out for each booking ref like so
--BookingRef ABCDE Jim 4444/ 6666 Bob 5555 7777 --BookingRef FGHIJ Jenny 8888/ 9999/ 3333
I know I can get a simple function to return the all data, but I do not know how to only include the pax name once.
hey, what the best way of stripping out a list of characters from a specified field in a table. e.g If first name consists of ABCD'E-FSA, we wnat to strip the ' and the -. There is about 15-20 characters like that. what's the best way of doing it other encapsulating in the replace function that many times. thanks zoey
I have a web form that needs to be bilingual. It contains several dropdown lists. The "text" and "value" for each item in the dropdown list is retrieved from a database. The logic reads the database and then populates the various dropdowns with logic such as:
dim newItem as new ListItem(textString, valueString)
theDropDown.items.add(newItem)
The problem that I am having occurs when the textString needs to contains special characters such as accented vowels or an "n" with a tilde. I have tried populating the database with HTML-formatted strings such as "Avión", hoping that this would display "Avion" with an accute accent over the "o". Unfortunately it displays "Avión".
How do I get dynamically-created dropdowns to display special characters? If the answer is to simply store the special characters directly in the database, then the question becomes how do I get the special characters into the database? I tried to figure out how to write a T-SQL command such as
update tablex set SpanishName = 'Avion' where id=999
but I can't figure out the syntax to insert an accented 'o' into the string.
Say you have a table that has records with numbers sort of like lottery winning numbers, say:
TableWinners num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6 33 52 47 23 17 28 ... more records with similar structure.
Then you have another table with chosen numbers, same structure as above, TableGuesses.
How could you do the following comparisons between TableGuesses and TableWinners:
1. Compare a single record in TableGuesses to a single record in TableWinners to get a count of the number of numbers that match (kind of a typical lottery type of thing).
2. Compare a single record in TableGuessess to ALL records in TableWinners to see which record in TableWinners is the closest match to the selected record in TableGuesses.
Hi, this is my second attempt to get an answer to this question. We want to strip our firstName column and lastname column of any punctuation that might be present. What's the best of doing that? Is my only choice to write a nested REPLACE for each character we want replaced (which will end up being very very long) or is there another way. thanks Zoey
