Passing An IN (a, B, C) List To A Sproc As A String -- Best Method?
Jul 20, 2005
I want to do something like this in a stored proc:
------
Create Procedure dbo.GetPatients
@PatientIdList varchar(200) -- comma separated list of PatientIDs
As
Select *
From Patients
Where PatientId In (@PatientIdList)
------
I know the above won't work, but of course what I want is if
@PatientIdList = '1,2,3' then I want Patient records with PatientIds
1, 2, and 3 returned.
It looks like the only way to do this is to build the SQL statement as
a string within the stored procedure ... which pretty much defeats the
usefulness of using precompiled sprocs as I understand it (better off
building a dynamic query against a View in that case).
If anybody could help me with this i would love to hear from you, at the moment this is driving me crazy?
now i have a stored procedure in SQL server 2000, which i need to pass some variables into (pretty straight forward so far!!) I am copying tables from one database to another and i what to be able to choose the spefic database i'm copying to, this is the basic's of my query!
I have 2 questions.I am trying to write a stored procedure to update a table. I am tryingto pass a variable that represents the name of the column/field andanother for the value that I am changing.For example:@FieldName VARCHAR(100)@FieldValue VARCHAR(100)ASUPDATE tblTHETABLESET @FieldName = @FieldValueFirst is it possible to use a variable as the column/field name? Ifso, how do I go about it?Also, it would be nice if I could have the @FieldName and @FieldValuevariables as arrays. Is that possible?Thank-you for any assistanceBill
where @serilializedReturnCode is locally declared as varchar(250)
This is the error I get:
Syntax error converting the varchar value '<return_code><error_code>0</error_code><row_count>0</row_count></return_code>' to a column of data type int.
We are creating an app to search through products. On the presentation layer, we allow a user to 'select' categories (up to 10 check boxes). When we get the selected check boxes, we create a concatenated string with the values.
My question is: when I pass the concatenated string to the SPROC, how would I write a select statement that would search through the category field, and find the values in the concatenated string?
Will I have to create Dynamic SQL to do this?...or... can I do something like this...
@ConcatenatedString --eg. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM TABLE WHERE CategoryId LIKE @ConcatenatedString
Hi. I have data which comes as a string like"... Store #61"but sometimes it is"... Store 61"and sometimes it is"... Store 061"For three digits, it might be "... Store 561" or "... Store #561", or"... Store 0561".....The only thing I can be sure of is that the last 2 or 3 (significant)digits of this field represent the StoreNumber.I have to link this table on field StoreNumber with another table wherethe data is ALWAYS like 0061, 0561, etc, so always four digits, paddedwith zeroes.I'd like to use the equivalent of the VB functionFormat(StoreNumber), "0000"), but Format does NOT exist in TSQL.How could I solve this problem ? Please bear with me - I'm a beginnerin SQL...Thank you very muchAlex.
I want to select rows that have an integer value IN a parameter list value I want to pass an integer list to my tableadapter's select as in Select * from sometable Where myIntValue IN (@intParamList )
I cannot figure out how to get my list into @intParamList It works fine as a single value - eg 3, but how do I set it to 1,2,3 ? Thanks Bill
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~
Dear All:I encounter one problem when I want to implement my thought. My thoughtis that user want to search a record of someone but maybe user wouldtype wrong name or spell name wrong. I wish to compare the string whichuser inputed to the database column using "Socre Method". "ScoreMethod" has a variable "grade" to accumulate the score. I want toconvert the string to char array, and compare the char one by one. Ifthe string is more accurate , the grade is more high. At last, I choosethe most higher score record to show. How to do this thought with tsql?Could give me some tips or guide to learn? I will appreciate yourkindness, thanks.

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..

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."

I thought I would post this solution. I searched a long time and didnt see anything about how to solve my problem. After avoiding this and simply building strings I decided to dig in my heels and try and figure this out. Well, maybe I am just slow. :) Anyhow, here is some code that should help a lot of folks with this question...
Function GetProductCategories(ByVal departmentID) As DataSet
'set the connection string (comes from a property in this case) Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionStringWeb"))

'set new command object to strsql and the connection. required Dim command As New SqlCommand(strSQL, connection)
'set parameters to pass to through with the strsql. required for parameters. you can take this a set further. See commented fields below. command.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@DepartmentID", departmentID))
'additional set up for parameters if you like... 'command.Parameters.Add("@departmentID", SqlDbType.Int, 4) 'command.Parameters("@departmentID").Value = departmentID

Hello, I'm trying to pass a simple string value to a stored procedure and just can't seem to make it work. I'm baffled since I know how to pass an integer to a stored procedure. In the example below, I don't get any compile errors or page load errors but my repeater doesn't populate (even though I know for certain the word "hello" is actually in the BlogTxt field in the db. If I change the stored procedure to say...WHERE BlogTxt LIKE '%hello%'then the results do indeed show up in the repeater.I ultimately would like to pass text from a textbox control or maybe even a querystring to the stored procedure. Then I'll move on to passing multiple "keywords" to it. :)My relevant code is below.

I have a multivalued parameters populated from a dataset with country codes: US,CA,HK etc... I tried to pass the parameter to the stored procedured but that did not work. I did some research and found out that I won't be able to do that.
Writing Queries that Map to Multivalued Report Parameters
You can define a multivalued parameter for any report parameter that you create. However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a query, the following requirements must be satisfied: The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, or Analysis Services. The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalued parameter array to a stored procedure. The query must use an IN statement to specify the parameter. If I am not able to pass the parameter that way, what is the best way to accomplish my goal? Thanks, Elie
Hi folks,Can anyone enlighten me here? I'm trying to use a SPROC which, when supplied with an int, looks up the table and returns certain columns from it.

Hello, I'm needing to pass a variable length number of values to a select statement so I can populate a result list with items related to all the checkboxlist items that were selected by the user. for example, the user checks products x, y and z, then hits submit, and then they see a list of all the tests they need to run for each product. I found a UDF that parses a comma delimited string and puts the values into a table. I learned how to do this here: http://codebetter.com/blogs/darrell.norton/archive/2003/07/01/361.aspx I have a checkboxlist that I'm generating the string from, so the string could look like this: "1,3,4,5,7" etc.I added the function mentioned in the URL above to my database, and if I understand right, I should be able to pass the table it creates into the select statement like so: WHERE (OrderStatus IN ((select value from dbo.fn_Split(@StatusList,','))) OR @StatusList IS NULL) but now I don't know how to assign the string value to the parameter, say to '@solution_id'.my current select statement which was generated by Visual Studio 2005 looks like this: SELECT [test], [owner], [date] FROM [test_table] WHERE ([solution_ID] = @solution_ID) ...but this only pulls results for the first item checked in the checkboxlist.Does anyone know how this is done? I'm sure it's simple, but I'm new to ASP .NET so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, so I'm a JSP guy and thing it should be easy to replace "@color" with t_color after I initialized it to red by String t_color = "red";and then calling the insert SqlDataSource1.Insert();here is insert command: InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [favcolor] ([name], [color]) VALUES (@name, @color)" I've tried InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [favcolor] ([name], [color]) VALUES (@name, "+ t_color+")" Ive tried InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [favcolor] ([name], [color]) VALUES (@name, "<%$ t_color %>" )" Is there any easy way to do this? or Can I set it like @color = t_color? Thanks in advance for ANY help JSP turning ASP (Maybe)Dan
Is it possible to pass a report parameter that is defined as a string to the following SQL statement that is using an "IN" clause ?
WHERE (ANALYST.User_Bemsid IN (@Report_Parameter_Bemsid))
If I pass a single value (I.E. A) it works okay, but once I try to pass multiple values (I.E. A,B or 'A','B') it returns no data.
Using Crystal reports I can pass multiple values via a report prompt into the SQL "IN" clause and seems that SQL Reporting Services should also have this feature. What do I need to do to get it working ?
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. :)
Using SQL Server 2008 and wondering if there's a special trick to using a string list of numbers with IN() URL...converting the string into a temp table[/url] but I'd just like to make sure there isn't a quicker, easier approach, or if that's it.
Hello, I have a number of multi-select parameters which I would like to send to a stored procedure within the dataset for use in the stored procedure's IN() statement which in turn is used to filter on or out particular rowsets.
I considered using a hidden string parameter set = " ' " + join(parameter.value, ',') + " ' " so that the hidden parameter would then contain a comma delimiated string of the values selected, which would then be sent on to the stored proc and used in the WHERE clause of one of the queries internal to the stored proc. But before I start dedicating time to do this I wanted to inquire if anyone here with far more expertise could think of a faster or less system heavy method of creating a single string of comma delimited parameter selections?
