Problem With DateTime And Strings In Stored Procedures
Jul 23, 2005
I'm keeping in the database a log of all the sessions for my
application. I'm trying to write a stored procedure that returns all
the sessions that; the login contains a certain string, loggedin after
a certain datetime and loggedout before another datetime. Any
combination of these parameters can be used and, if none, returns all
the log.
Below is the code I came up with but I'm having a "Syntax error
converting datetime from character string" exception. When not using
DateTime parameters everything works fine. Can you tell me how can I
avoid this exception? Thanks in advance...
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.RetrieveAllSessionHistoryItemsContaining
(
@Pattern Varchar(255),
@From DateTime,
@To DateTime
)
AS
DECLARE @Query VARCHAR(500)
SET @Query = 'SELECT * FROM SessionHistoryItems, Sessions WHERE
SessionHistoryItems.SessionId = Sessions.SessionId'
DECLARE @conditions nvarchar(257)
SET @conditions = '';
IF LEN(@Pattern) > 0 BEGIN
SET @conditions = @conditions + ' Sessions.Login LIKE ''%' + @Pattern
+ '%'''
END
IF @From IS NOT NULL BEGIN
IF LEN(@conditions) > 0 BEGIN
SET @conditions = @conditions + ' AND '
END
SET @conditions = @conditions + ' SessionHistoryItems.LoggedOutAt >=
' + @From
END
IF @To IS NOT NULL BEGIN
IF LEN(@conditions) > 0 BEGIN
SET @conditions = @conditions + ' AND '
END
SET @conditions = @conditions + ' SessionHistoryItems.LoggedInAt <= '
+ @To
END
IF LEN(@conditions) > 0 BEGIN
EXEC(@Query + ' AND ' + @conditions)
END
ELSE BEGIN
EXEC(@Query)
END
RETURN

In order to minimize the number of connection strings I have to use toaccess different databases on the same Sql Server, I was consideringstoring all stored procedures in just one database. I want to do thisbecause connection pooling in my application - ASP.NET is based onthis connection string. So if I need to access 6 different databaseson one sql server & set 6 different connection strings, I end upcreating 6 different connection pools.Other than it might create more management work for the DBA, are thereany performance implications with implementing this scheme? Do storedprocedures run any slower if they access tables that are stored indifferent databases within the same server?Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.TIA,Minh Tran

I have a query that determines a product's date of manufacture from the serial number. The day is formatted as a day number (e.g. "107" = April 17) and the year as a two-digit year. All dates can be assumed to be 21st century.
I need to take this data, which is in two separate fields in varchar format, and represent it as a date in mm/dd/yyyy format. So for example, if the field values are "107" and "06" I need to display "04/17/2006."
Thanks in advance for the correct formula!

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

rs.open filter$,cn

Hi all,
If I have a query string that is to be stored in a database, for example
Code:
SELECT prod_id, prod_name, prod_desc FROM products WHERE prod_id = 'variable'
how can I put a variable identifier into this string so that when I need to run the query I call it from the database and simply insert the relevant variable in the correct place.
Is there an appropriate way of doing this in MS SQL Server?
Thanks

Hey, i have multiple search strings and I don't want to keep track of the search strings in SQL format.
As in, i don't want to do this anymore:
Select *
From tbl_Name
where FirstName = 'John' or
FirstName = 'Mike' or
FirstName Like 'Jen%' or
...
and the list continues for at least a 100...
what i want to do is store all the search values in a table and then join on that table as a search...
Create Table as tbl_SearchValues
[FirstName] as Varchar(50)
Insert Table tbl_SearchValues values ('John', 'Mike', 'Jen%')
Select *
From tbl_name n Join tbl_SearchValues s
on n.FirstName Like s.FirstName
This doesn't work cause I tried it... but does anyone know a different workaround??

Basically I have two strings. Both strings will contain similar data because the 2nd string is the first string after an update of the first string takes place. Both strings are returned in my Stored Procedure
For example:String1 = "Here is some data. lets type some more data"String2 = "Here's some data. Lets type some data here"I would want to change string2 (inside my Stored Procedure) to show the changed/added text highlighted and the deleted text with a strike though.
So I would want string2 to look like thisstring2 = "Here<font color = "#00FF00">'s</font> <strike>is</strike> some data. <font color = "#00FF00">L</font>ets type some <strike>more</strike> data <font color = "#00FF00">here</font>"
Is there an way to accomplish this inside a stored procedure?

Well, I managed to write a Stored procedure that updates some records in the Northwind Database based on the ProductIDs passed to the SP as a list of strings. This is the Alter version of the SP:USE [Northwind]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[gv_sp_UpdatePOs] Script Date: 06/10/2007 12:07:54 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROC [dbo].[gv_sp_UpdatePOs]
(
@IDList varchar(500),
@ReorderLevel int,
@ProductName nvarchar(30)
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
EXEC('Update dbo.Products
SET ReorderLevel = (' + @ReorderLevel + ') ,ProductName = (''' + @ProductName + ''')
WHERE ProductID IN (' + @IDList + ')')
END
----------------------
THis works fine inside Sql Server 2005 Query analyser.
But when I setup an aspx page with an objectDataSource inside the page attached to an xsd file where the Products table is located. When I try to add new query to the tableadapter inside the Products table and point to the stored procedure in the wizard I get this error: " the wizard detected the following problems when configuring TableAdapter query "Products" Details: Generated SELECT statement. Incorrect suntax near ')'.
Any help would be appreciated
And can someone convert it to support XML instead of list of strings. thanks.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to parse a character string in a stored procedure but I'm not sure how to do it. For example:

???
???
.
.

sp_test '123:abc,456:def,789:ghi'
I need to put 123 into a seperate local variable, abc into a local variable, and so on...
What would be the best function to use?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.
I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.
This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:
select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +
case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +
case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String
from new_database
The output would be
Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/
So far, nothing I have tried has worked.
Any ideas?

I ran across this technique being used in an application the other day. It seems not a good idea to me. What do you think?
1. The proc builds a basic query, nothing real fancy, into a string variable called @SQL defined as varchar 2000. Depending on the result desired, the group by clause can be one of three different sort orders.
2. The string is executed via EXEC @SQL.
It seems to me that the whole process can eliminate the EXEC and just use some other construct. All the parameters are passed in via the initial call to the stored proc. It also seems that every time this is executed it will result in a new query compile and cache useage, no matter what. Wasteful? Should I take the developers aside and knock heads? I think the app was coded by some folks who were rookies then but may be willing to crack open their code. Or, am I the one that is a rookie?
Thanks for your inputs.

All of a sudden hen I script out a Stored Procedure it encloses strings (edit) in Double Quotes?
For example ANDPromo.[Group] IN (''FL_Small'',''FL_Large'')
Also it generates this code that I do not want. I just was Create Procedure...
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[usp_IncentiveReport]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))
BEGIN
EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @statement = N'
What options do I need to set?

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
John

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?

Hello I have two stored procedures
@ID INT
AS
SELECT (CASE WHEN NUM >= 10 THEN CAST(PAID AS FLOAT) / CAST(NUM AS FLOAT) * 100 WHEN NUM < 10 THEN 0 END) AS PER
FROM (SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1
FROM Event_data AS D LEFT OUTER JOIN
Events AS E ON E.id = D.Event_id
WHERE (D.Transaction_type = 1) AND (D.Player_id = @ID)) AS NUM,
(SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1
FROM Event_data AS D LEFT OUTER JOIN
Events AS E ON E.id = D.Event_id
WHERE (D.Transaction_type = 1) AND (D.Transaction_value > 0) AND (D.Player_id = @ID)) AS PAID) AS X
and
@ID INT
AS
SELECT P.*,'/' + DBO.GETCHIPFOLDER(@ID) + '/' + ISNULL(P.PHOTO,'BLANK.GIF') AS PIC,ISNULL(
(SELECT SUM(TRANSACTION_VALUE)
FROM EVENT_DATA WHERE PLAYER_ID=@ID AND TRANSACTION_TYPE=1
GROUP BY PLAYER_ID),0) AS WINNINGS FROM PLAYERS P
undefined P
The first returns a percentage for player wins, the second gives me a photo and sums the player winnings
I would like to combine the results so I can get the percentage and wininngs in one query, in another matter all together I would like create a procedure like the first but instead of returning only one player, I would like to return the percentage for each player
Thanks in advance for any light you can shine on this.

I have a question about stored procedures, Is it better to use stored procedures even if I only use it once at my site? Or is it better to write the sql-part directly in the sqldatasource?
And am I forced to create two different stored procedures even if they are exactly the same except the "Where-part"?
Now I have around 40 stored procedures, and quite many of them looks the same except the where-part...
(Iam just a beginner with SQL)
