Processing Results Of SELECT Statements In Stored Procedures
May 7, 2008
In my SPs, I commonly have a situation, where a SELECT statement gets a single scalar value (e.g. SELECT Name FROM Employee WHERE id=@id) from a table.
Because the result is still a relation, I cannot process it directly or assign the result to a variable
(like set @name = SELECT Name FROM Employee WHERE id=@id)
So, how can I process the results of the statement in this case.
In some other cases, the result is actually a relation. And I want to iterate over all rows, processing each row's columns.
(I know this smells of ADO.NET, but how can I help it if I am coming from that background)...
The point is I want to do all this in T-Sql on server side!!!
I have nested a Stored Procedure within a stored procedure. The nested stored procedure ends in a select statement. What I'd like to do is either capture the results of the select statement (it will be 1 row with 3 columns, I only need the contents of first column), or suppress the select statement from displaying in the final results of the Stored Procedure it is nested in.
I need to keep track of the number of hits on a particular page. Im using a stored Procedure
What I want to do is get the number of hits and increment it by one :)
ie: Sub Procedure should be like below
SELECT noOfHits WHERE pageName = 'bla bla'
noOfHits = noOfHits + 1 etc.
Also, some of the pages will be added and deleted all the time, so before I increment the noOfHits variable I need to check that the pageName 'bla bla' exists. AND if it doesnt I need to create a pageName called 'bla bla'
What I need to do in essence is:
1. Check that a particular row exists. if it doesnt create it. 2. Increment a value (by one) to a column in this particular row.
Phew. Hope you got that. Any ideas much appreciated,
I have three tables, Employer, Customer and CustomerEmployer. The employer table contains all employers and the customeremployer table contains customer records for an employer. For example
Employer Table EmployerID Name Address 1 ABC Company 123 Main Street 2 CDE Company 1 South Street 3 JJJ Company 3 Timothy Street 4 ZZZ Company 2 Rust Street
Customer Table ID Name 1 Joe Smith 2 Jane Thomas 3 Tim James
I would like to run a select statement which lists all the employers and whether the employer has already been assigned to a customer. For example, for Joe Smith I would like to see all the employers listed AND some marker indicating that Joe is already assigned to EmployerID 3, JJJ Company. Results EmployerID Name Address CustomerID 1 ABC Company 123 Main Street 2 CDE Company 1 South Street 3 JJJ Company 3 Timothy Street 3 4 ZZZ Company 2 Rust Street
I have tried unions and many types of joins but none seem to work correctly. I was using the following select statement however only employers that are contained in the customeremployer table appear.
SELECT Employer.EmployerID, Employer.Name, Address, Employer.City, CustomerEmployer.CustomerID FROM CustomerEmployer RIGHT OUTER JOIN Employer ON CustomerEmployer.EmployerID = Employer.EmployerID WHERE (CustomerEmployer.CustomerID = @customerid) OR (CustomerEmployer.CustomerID IS NULL) ORDER BY Name
I have used SQL for donkey's years, but never really used Stored Procedures, well, I am starting to migrate functions from a front end ASP.Net system, and utilising the stored procedures.
I have a problem with something I thought would be really basic, i am trying to use IF THEN statements within the stored procedure to change the WHERE elements based on the parameters passed to it.
Here is the script (copied from the modification screen)
USE [QP] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[USERS_LIST] Script Date: 02/21/2008 21:50:31 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER Procedure [dbo].[USERS_LIST] @SearchVarChar(100) As SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.Members.EntryID, dbo.Members.EntryDate, dbo.Members.Username, dbo.Members.Forename, dbo.Members.Surname, dbo.Members.Gender, dbo.Members.DateofBirth, dbo.Members.LastAction, dbo.Members.AdminUser, dbo.ActiveMember_Status.Status, dbo.ActiveMember_Mobile.Value AS Mobile, dbo.ActiveMember_Email.Value AS Email, dbo.ActiveMember_Location.Location1, dbo.ActiveMember_Location.Location2, dbo.ActiveMember_Location.Location3, dbo.ActiveMember_Location.Location4, dbo.F_AGE_IN_YEARS(dbo.members.dateofbirth, GetDate()) As Age FROM dbo.Members INNER JOIN dbo.ActiveMember_Status ON dbo.Members.EntryID = dbo.ActiveMember_Status.UserID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.ActiveMember_Location ON dbo.Members.EntryID = dbo.ActiveMember_Location.UserID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.ActiveMember_Email ON dbo.Members.EntryID = dbo.ActiveMember_Email.UserID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.ActiveMember_Mobile ON dbo.Members.EntryID = dbo.ActiveMember_Mobile.UserID IF (@Search='Dowle') WHERE (dbo.Members.Username = @Search) OR (dbo.Members.Forename = @Search) OR (dbo.Members.Surname = @Search) OR (dbo.ActiveMember_Mobile.Value = @Search) OR (dbo.ActiveMember_Email.Value = @Search) OR (dbo.ActiveMember_Location.Location1 = @Search) OR (dbo.ActiveMember_Location.Location2 = @Search) OR (dbo.ActiveMember_Location.Location3 = @Search) OR (dbo.ActiveMember_Location.Location4 = @Search) END IF
ORDER BY dbo.Members.Username
The bit I am trying to do above isn't real, but the same error appears every which way I try.
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure USERS_LIST, Line 14 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.
Hi,We're having a big discussion with a customer about where to store the SQL and DML statements. (We're talking about SQL Server 2000)We're convinced that having all statements in the code (data access layer) is a good manner, because all logic is in the "same place" and it's easier to debug. Also you can only have more problems in the deployment if you use the stored procedures. The customer says they want everything in seperate stored procedures because "they always did it that way". What i mean by using seperate stored procedures is:- Creating a stored procedure for each DML operation and for each table (Insert, update or delete)- It should accept a parameter for each column of the table you want to manipulate (delete statement: id only)- The body contains a DML statement that uses the parameters- In code you use the name of the stored procedure instead of the statement, and the parameters remain... (we are using microsoft's enterprise library for data access btw)For select statements they think our approach is best...I know stored procedures are compiled and thus should be faster, but I guess that is not a good argument as it is a for an ASP.NET application and you would not notice any difference in terms of speed anyway. We are not anti-stored-procedures, eg for large operations on a lot of records they probably will be a lot better.Anyone knows what other pro's are related to stored procedures? Or to our way? Please tell me what you think...Thanks
Is it true that replacing embedded sql statements (that insert/update and fetch data from sql databases) by stored procedures improves overall respones time and SQL performance. We have tons of embedded SQL statements in our Visual Basic modules and are debating whether replacing them by SQL Stored procedures will really be worht the effort.
Any insights on this?
Thanks in advance. If possible, please reply to my e-mail.Thanks.
trying to get to the bottom of this for some time...... eventually tobe used with asp.heres the problemthe following rather complex SQL statement works fine via queryanalyser:SELECT TOP 100 tbl_LevelDetail.nvchLevelName AS DataLevelName,MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '1' THEN CAST(nvchData AS int) ELSE 0END) AS 'Pos',MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '2' THEN CAST(nvchData AS char) ELSE '' END) AS 'AreaName',MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '3' THEN CAST(nvchData AS char) ELSE '' END) AS 'BDGName',MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '4' THEN CAST(nvchData AS char) else '' END) AS 'Performance',MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '5' THEN CAST(nvchData AS int) ELSE 0END) AS 'Qualifier'FROM tbl_Data, tbl_Levels, tbl_LevelDetail, tbl_LevelDetail AStbl_LevelDetail_ReportWHERE tbl_Data.nvchIncentiveId = 'MPW' AND tbl_Data.nvchPeriodId ='W27P'AND tbl_Levels.nvchIncentiveId = 'MPW' ANDtbl_LevelDetail.nvchIncentiveId = 'MPW'AND tbl_LevelDetail_Report.nvchIncentiveId = 'MPW' ANDtbl_Data.nvchDataLevelId = tbl_Levels.nvchDataLevelIdAND tbl_Levels.nvchDataLevelId = tbl_LevelDetail.nvchLevelIdAND tbl_Levels.nvchReportingLevelId =tbl_LevelDetail_Report.nvchLevelIdAND tbl_LevelDetail.nvchLevelTypeId = 2AND tbl_LevelDetail_Report.nvchLevelTypeId = 1AND tbl_Levels.nvchReportingLevelId IN ('a')GROUP BY tbl_Levels.nvchReportingLevelId, tbl_Levels.nvchDataLevelId,tbl_LevelDetail.nvchLevelName, tbl_LevelDetail_Report.nvchLevelNameORDER BY Pos, DataLevelNamereturns rows ok no problembut when trying to convert to a stored procedure i dont get anyresults:CREATE PROCEDURE usp_incmpwfilter_rs(@strPeriodID varchar ,@intLevelDetailID varchar,@intLevelReportID varchar,@strFilters varchar)ASset nocount onSELECT TOP 100 tbl_LevelDetail.nvchLevelName AS DataLevelName,MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '1' THEN CAST(nvchData AS int) ELSE 0END) AS 'Pos',MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '2' THEN CAST(nvchData AS char) ELSE '' END) AS 'AreaName',MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '3' THEN CAST(nvchData AS char) ELSE '' END) AS 'BDGName',MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '4' THEN CAST(nvchData AS char) else '' END) AS 'Performance',MAX(CASE tintDataFieldId WHEN '5' THEN CAST(nvchData AS int) ELSE 0END) AS 'Qualifier'FROM tbl_Data, tbl_Levels, tbl_LevelDetail, tbl_LevelDetail AStbl_LevelDetail_ReportWHERE tbl_Data.nvchIncentiveId = 'MPW' AND tbl_Data.nvchPeriodId =@strPeriodIDAND tbl_Levels.nvchIncentiveId = 'MPW' ANDtbl_LevelDetail.nvchIncentiveId = 'MPW'AND tbl_LevelDetail_Report.nvchIncentiveId = 'MPW' ANDtbl_Data.nvchDataLevelId = tbl_Levels.nvchDataLevelIdAND tbl_Levels.nvchDataLevelId = tbl_LevelDetail.nvchLevelIdAND tbl_Levels.nvchReportingLevelId =tbl_LevelDetail_Report.nvchLevelIdAND tbl_LevelDetail.nvchLevelTypeId = @intLevelDetailIDAND tbl_LevelDetail_Report.nvchLevelTypeId = @intLevelReportIDAND tbl_Levels.nvchReportingLevelId IN (@strFilters )GROUP BY tbl_Levels.nvchReportingLevelId, tbl_Levels.nvchDataLevelId,tbl_LevelDetail.nvchLevelName, tbl_LevelDetail_Report.nvchLevelNameORDER BY Pos, DataLevelNamethen call it by SQL statement:EXEC usp_incmpwfilter_rs 'W27P',2,1,'a'Returns no rows.

I cannot create temporarytables.i had not created the intial SQL statement, i am just trying toconvert it to a stored procedure which accepts thos parameters. thishas been a real headache for me, any help as always appreciatedgreatly.
I am doing some research on sqljdbc 1.2. I have run into a few problems with the jdbc driver. I think it would be so much easier just to ask the expert here.
1. when to use CallableStatment, PreparedStatement, Statement for stored proc and why? http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378046.aspx talks about using Statements with Stored Procedures. It says for stored Proc with no param, use Statement; for stored proc with only input param, use PreparedStatement; and for stored proc with output param, return status or update count, use CallableStatement. Is there any special considerations to select which one to use, is there any performance differences? I assume we can always use CallableStatement for stored proc.
2. mutliple statements on one Connection The JDBC spec allows multiple Statement on one Connection with no need to close the previous Statment. When Connection.close() is called, all the Statements and ResultSets will be closed too. I tried with regular stored proc, it is fine of have a CallableStatement, then a Statement, without close the CallableStatment, all the Statements are executed with no error. However, when I change the stored proc, using explicit transaction, i.e BEGIN TRANSACTION, and COMMIT TRANSACTION, the Statement failed and throw an error: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Server failed to resume the transaction, desc: 3500000001. at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException.makeFromDatabaseError(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerStatement.getNextResult(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerStatement.doExecuteStatement(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerStatement$StmtExecCmd.doExecute(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TDSCommand.execute(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.executeCommand(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerStatement.executeCommand(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerStatement.executeStatement(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerStatement.executeQuery(Unknown Source)
When I add a CallableStatement.close() before the create the second Statment, then it worked. Is this a bug or something special needs to be set for stored proc with Transaction?
3. Statement.getGeneratedKeys Under the hood, is it making another round trip to get the generatedkeys, or when the Statement created with Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS is excuted, the identity field is already retured with the Statement?
This method call works with regular insert Statement, but does not work for PreparedStatement calling a stored proc. Is this a bug?
Hai, I just waana know whether we can use "FOR statement" in Stored Procedures. If yes, can you describe it with some examples of how they are used in stored procedures ?
Hi, all I'm using Sql server 2000 I want to make select statement dynamically and return table using function. in sp, I've done this but, in function I don't know how to do so. (I have to create as function since our existing API..)
Following is my tials... 1. alter Function fnTest ( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime) RETURNS Table AS
RETURN Exec spTest @from, @to GO
Yes, it give syntax error..
2. So, I found the following
From Sql Server Books Online, Remark section of CREATE FUNCTION page of Transact-SQL Reference , it says following..
"The following statements are allowed in the body of a multi-statement function. Statements not in this list are not allowed in the body of a function: " ..... * EXECUTE statements calling an extended stored procedures.
So, I tried.
alter Function fnTest ( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime) RETURNS Table AS
RETURN Exec master..xp_msver GO
It doesn't work... syntax err...
Here I have quick question.. How to execute statements calling an extended stored procedures. any examples?
Now, I'm stuck.. how can I create dynamic select statement using function?
I have few print statements in a stored procedure that gets called from the SSIS package. How do I make sure that these are captured in the SSIS log meaning how do I get them to be displayed in the Package Explorer window when running from the Business Intelligence Studio IDE.
I need to list out all the procedures which have select queries and does not use NOLOCK hint. Please note that there are more than 2000 sps and some sps have single select some have multiple, some does not have select queries at all. I need to find out only the ones which does not use NOLOCK hint in a select query.
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?
Has anyone had a problem where the stored procedure does not return the same results as compared to running the same SQL in ISQL? This happens when rows are added to a table that's in a join and the SP doesn't return those rows. Once it starts happening, it will not work consistently, but it doesn't always happen when new rows are added to a table. It has happened to many stored procedures and with many different tables. sp_recompile won't fix the problem. Only dropping and re-adding the SP will fix the problem with that stored procedure. We are using SQL 6.5.
I have created multiple stored procedures that search different tables for similiar information.
Is it possible to have one main stored procedure that calls and executes each of these individual stored procedures and then use the UNION keyword to combine the results?
For example
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Return_Detail]
@IDVarChar(200)
AS
--Get the 1st Detail EXECReturn_1st_Detail @ID = @ID
UNION
--Get the 2nd Detail EXECReturn_2nd_Detail @ID = @ID GO
Hi. Does anyone know how to display the results if i execute "xp_fixeddrives, xp_availablemedia and xp_subdirs" commands with VC++ 6.0? I can't obtained the results using Recordset class. Can someone help me? Thank you.
I have a stored procedure which simply does a SELECT on a table. This table has as a column a uniqueidentifier, which is not part of the PK. If I execute this procedure with the SQL Server tools, it works fine and returns the expected results. If I execute this SP with Visual Studio, or ASP.NET, no results are returned and the following comes back:Running [dbo].[spServiceDetail_Get] ( @ServiceDetailID = <DEFAULT>, @VictimWitnessID = <DEFAULT>).ServiceDetailID VictimWitnessID --------------- -------------------------------------- No rows affected.(1 row(s) returned)@RETURN_VALUE = 0Finished running [dbo].[spServiceDetail_Get]. Any ideas what is going wrong? This seems to be a common problem for many of our tables with a uniqueidentifier in them, and is specifically with VS 2005 and ASP.NET ObjectDataSources.
I have created a stored procedure with multiple select statements using MSSQL 2000. When I connect to this using a SQLDataSource it only seems to get the first SELECT. I need to access the multiple tables returned by the stoped procedure. Can anyone point me in the dirrection of how to do this.ThanksClearz
I have used several sql queris to generate a report. This queries pull out data from different tables. But sometimes at the same table too. Basically those are SELECT statements. I have created stored proc for each SELECT statement. now I'm wondering can I include all SELECT statements in one stored proc and run the report. If possible, can anyone show me the format?
Hey Guys. I’m having a little trouble and was wondering if you could help me out. I’m trying to create a custom paging control, so I create a stored procedure that returns the appropriate records as well as the total amount of records. And that works fine. What I’m having problems with is reading the data from the second select statement within the code. Anyone have any idea on how to do this? Also.. how can I check how many tables were returned? Here's my code. I'm trying to keep it very generic so I can send it any sql statement:public DataTable connect(string sql) { DataTable dt = new DataTable();
SqlConnection SqlCon = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDB"].ToString()); SqlDataAdapter SqlCmd = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, SqlCon); System.Data.DataSet ds = new System.Data.DataSet(); SqlCmd.Fill(ds);
dt = ds.Tables[0];
//Here's where I don't know how to access the second select statement
return dt; } Here's my stored procedure: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.MyStoredProcedure ( @Page int, @AmountPerPage int, @TotalRecords int output )
AS
WITH MyTable AS (
Select *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ID Desc) as RowNum From Table where Deleted <> 1 )
select * from MyTable WHERE RowNum > (((@Page-1)*@AmountPerPage)) and RowNum < ((@Page*@AmountPerPage)+1);
Select @TotalRecords = COUNT(*) from Table where Deleted <> 1 RETURN

More Information for you to know: I have the "ssmsExpressDB" database in the Database Expolorer of VB 2005 Express. But I do not know how to get the SqlConnection and the SqlDataAdapter into the Form1. I do not know how to get the Fill Method implemented properly. I try to learn "Working with SELECT Statement in a Stored Procedure" for printing the 6 rows that are selected - they are not parameterized.
I ran the below 2 select statements and ended up seeing multiple cached instances of the same stored procedure. The majority have only one cached instance but more than a handful have multiple cached instances. When there are multiple cached instances of the same sproc, which one will sql server reuse when the sproc is called?
SELECT o.name, o.object_id, ps.last_execution_time , ps.last_elapsed_time * 0.000001 as last_elapsed_timeINSeconds, ps.min_elapsed_time * 0.000001 as min_elapsed_timeINSeconds, ps.max_elapsed_time * 0.000001 as max_elapsed_timeINSeconds
I'm sure this is an obvious question but much of SQL is new to me.I have a stored procedure and I want to use the results of a selectstatement elsewhere in the stored prcedure. The select statement willreturn at most one record and only one column, here's an example :select top 1 Sequence from MyTablewhere ParentId=4 and Sequence > 200 order by sequenceCan I put this result in a variable? Do I have to use SELECT INTOTempTable and refer to TempTable and then drop the table at the end ofthe stored procedure? I have read a little about cursors, are thesethe way to go?I'm confused as to what my options are, any help or links to help willbe appreciated.Thanks for reading.
We use stored procedures to populate the properties of data layer objects. Is there any advantage or disadvantage (performance wise) of using "SELECT * FROM Table1" Vs
SELECT COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3, ETC FROM Table1.
Using individual column names in the select store procedure is getting difficult to maintain for large number of columns or when columns are added or removed.
Ok, I currently have a query which is basically doing the following:
Code:
SELECT ... WHERE x IN (101,102...)
I have a couple of questions:
Firstly would making this to a stored procedure really make much of a difference to performance considering the WHERE IN clause.
Secondly how can I pass this list of values to use in the WHERE IN clause to the stored procedure. I tried nVarChar but really wasn't surprised when it didn't work... and can't really think of another clear way.
Hello,I have written a stored procedure where I prompt the user for the Year and the Month (see below)How do I take the variable @TheMonth and find out how many days is in the month and then loop to display a total for every day in the selected month.Can someone please point me in the right direction.
