Problem Passing A Variable To A Stored Procedure
Dec 7, 2007I've got stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dropmyValue](@dropVal Char OUTPUT)ASEXECUTE('ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1] DROP CONSTRAINT ' + @dropVal) That gets it's value from a GridView.SelectedValue:
Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) If GridView1.SelectedValue.ToString <> "" Then Dim cs As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnectionString").ConnectionString Using con As New SqlConnection(cs) con.Open() Dim cmd As New SqlCommand cmd.Connection = con cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmd.CommandText = "dropmyValue" cmd.Parameters.Add("dropVal", SqlDbType.Char) cmd.Parameters("dropVal").Direction = ParameterDirection.InputOutput cmd.Parameters("dropVal").Value = "DF_" + GridView1.SelectedValue Label2.Text = cmd.Parameters("dropVal").Value cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using GridView1.DataBind() End If End Sub
Label2.text shows that @dropVal is "DF_xxxxxxxx" and is the name of the Constaint to be dropped (when I comment out "cmd.ExecuteNonQuery" and run it), but the error I get is that
" 'D' is not a Constraint ". I don't know if this is a sqldbtype problem, but I've tried different ones and evidently only the first character "D" is getting read, or passed to the stored procedure.
Any help would be appreciated.

Help Passing A Stored Procedure Reults To A Local Variable?

SET @LocalVariable = dbo.sp_storedprocedure

Passing In Variable Number Of Parameters To A Stored Procedure
Jul 9, 2006I am fairly new to MSSQL. Looking for a answer to a simple question.
I have a application which passes in lot of stuff from the UI into a stored procedure that has to be inserted into a MSSQL 2005 database. All the information that is passed will be spilt into 4 inserts hitting 4 seperate tables. All 4 inserts will be part of a stored procedure that have to be in one TRANSACTION. All but one insert are straight forward.
The structure of this table is something like
PKID
customerID
email address
.....
customerID is not unique and can have n email addresses passed in. Each entry into this table when inserted into, will be passed n addresses (The number of email addresses passed is controlled by the user. It can be from 1..n). Constructing dynamic SQL is not an option. The SP to insert all the data is already in place. Typically I would just create the SP with IN parameters that I will use to insert into tables. In this case I can't do that since the number of email addresses passed is dynamic. My question is what's the best way to design this SP, where n email addresses are passed and each of them will have to be passed into a seperate insert statement? I can think of two ways to this...
Is there a way to create a variable length array as a IN parameter to capture the n email addresses coming in and use them to construct multiple insert statements?
Is it possible to get all the n email addresses as a comma seperated string? I know this is possible, but I am not sure how to parse this string and capture the n email addresses into variables before I construct them into insert statements.
Any other ways to do this? Thanks
Passing SSIS Package Variable To Stored Procedure As Parameter
Feb 25, 2008
I've created a varible timeStamp that I want to feed into a stored procedure but I'm not having any luck. I'm sure its a simple SSIS 101 problem that I can't see or I may be using the wrong syntax
in Execute SQL Task Editor I have
conn type -- ole db
connection -- some server
sql source type -- direct input
sql statement -- exec testStoredProc @timeStamp = ?
if I put a value direclty into the statement it works just fine: exec testStoredProc '02-25-2008'
This is the syntax I found to execute the procedure, I don't udnerstand few things about it.
1. why when I try to run it it changes it to exec testStoredProc @timeStamp = ? with error: EXEC construct or statement is not supported , followed by erro: no value given for one or more requreid parameters.
2. I tired using SQL commands exec testStoredProc @timeStamp and exec testStoredProc timeStamp but nothing happens. Just an error saying unable to convert varchar to datetime
3. Also from SRS I usually have to point the timeStamp to @timeStamp and I dont know how to do that here I thought it was part of the parameter mapping but I can't figure out what the parameter name and parameter size should be; size defaults to -1.
Thank you, please help.

Dynamic Table Names In Stored Procedure...
Jul 2, 2007Hello all,
Im just wondering... is there any way to have dynamic table names, so that, say for instance, i have 4 stored procedures, that all do the same thing, just to four different tables. is there any way to have 1 stored procedure, and pass through the table name???
Adding the four statements into one statement is not an option, as i only need to execute one at a time..., not all four at once...

View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing Table Name Stored In A Scalar Variable In Stored Procedure Problem
Mar 27, 2006Hello to all!
I have a table name stored in a scalar variable (input parameter of my stored procedure). I need to run SQL statement: SELECT COUNT (*) FROM MyTable and store the result of my query in a scalar variable:
For example:
declare @countRows int
set @countRows = (select count(*) from MyTable)
The problem is that the name of MyTable is stored in the input variable of my stored procedure and of corse this does not work:
declare @countRows int
set @countRows = (select count(*) from @myTableName)
I also tried this:
declare @sqlQuery varchar(100)
set @sqlQuery = 'select count(*) from ' + @myTableName
set @countRows = exec(@sqlQuery)
But it looks like function exec() does not return any value...
Any idea how to solve this problem?

View 3 Replies View RelatedT-SQL, Stored Procedure Using A Variable Table Name
Aug 24, 2007I need to use a variable for a table name, pass it to a stored procedure that extracts data, and then store the result of the sp in another variable.
For example, earlier in the program I construct the table name using this statement:
@tablename = 'OC_TEMPLATE_' + @FORM. The resulting table name may by something like: OC_TEMPLATE_101
Now I need to use this table name in a statement like this:
SELECT ITEM FROM @TABLENAME WHERE DEX = @REC
If I use code like this, I can get a result, but I can't store it in a variable:
EXECUTE ('SELECT ITEM FROM ' + @TABLENAME + ' WHERE DEX = ' + @REC)
Running this give me a value of 309 in the results pane in Management Studio. 309 is the value I want, but I want to now store that in a variable called @ITEM.
I'm trying to run this as a stored procedure where I pass @tablename and @rec into the proc and I want to return @item as an output parameter with the value of 309 (in this case) in @item. I can't figure out how to configure the proc to give me the output parameter.

Please forgive my ignorance..
here is my stored procedure..

@EmailMessage varchar(max)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @MessagePreview Table(Subject varchar(150), EmailMessage varchar(max))

Passing Table Names To Table Valued Functions

It is possible to write stored procedures which take table names as parameters; is it also possible to do this with table valued functions?
For example, a simple stored procedure is this:

Execute('Select top 10 * from ' + @tableName + ';')
END
I want to be able to do the analogous thing with a table valued function (so that I can query the result set, without having to create a temp table). How should I do this (i.e., pass a tablename as an argument to a table valued function)?

Can't TABLE Variable Be Used In EXEC Statement In Stored Procedure
Feb 8, 2008Hi
I've used a temporary table in the stored procedure
I've created it as DECLARE @Temp TABLE (id INT)
in select clause I've used this temp table through the joins..
But I've also used a varchar variable to store my criteria...
which I'm building in the stored procedure
so inorder to use it in the where clause I used
EXEC ('SELECT ....................
FROM @Temp T
LEFT OUTER JOIN ...
LEFT OUTER JOIN ...
WHERE ' + @Criteria )
Unfortunately this is not working.
Giving the errror
Must declare the variable '@TempT'.
I had to use Temporary table using #, which I feel is really waste of memory...
Is there a way by which I can use my Table variable in the EXEC statement.
Thanks In advance
