SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @variable varchar(50)

SELECT @variable = fname + ' ' + lname
FROM employee
WHERE @variable = '%Thomas%'
IF @@ROWCOUNT > 0
PRINT 'Employee Name is ' + @variable

View 4 Replies View RelatedCreate Database Using Local Variables
Feb 4, 1999I have an installation script and want to create a database based on some data in a table (config). Testing the script though I get a message:
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1
Line 12: Incorrect syntax near '@DBData'.
The relevant sql is:
declare @DBName varchar (40)
declare @DBData varchar (40)
declare @DBLog varchar (40)
declare @DBSize int
select @DBName = obj_txt from config where obj_nm='DBName'
select @DBData = @DBName + '_Data'
select @DBLog = @DBName + '_Log'
select @DBSize = obj_int from config where obj_nm='DBSize'
raiserror('Creating Database %s ....',0,1,@DBName) with nowait
Create Database @DBName
on @DBData = @DBSize
Log on @DBLog = @DBSize
I don't think there's anything wrong, apart from the fact I am using the local variables. Is this allowed on a Create Database statement? I haven't found anything in Technet that may help.
Here's hoping....

Local Variables In Case Statment
Nov 11, 2004Hi
I am trying to use a global variable in a case when and am not getting the correct results. If I use static data, it works fine.
Here is a tableless example, which should return Shipper. Any ideas are appreciated.
Code:
declare @shipperGBS varchar(3000)
declare @sQuote char
set @sQuote = char(39)
set @shipperGBS = 'ACI,ADO,ALD,AMS,AWB'
set @shipperGBS = Replace(@shipperGBS, ',', @sQuote + ',' + @sQuote)
set @shipperGBS = @sQuote + @shipperGBS + @sQuote
select case when ('ACI' IN (@shipperGBS)) then 'Shipper' else 'Consignee' end as ClientCharge
Set Local Variables When EXEC-ing A Sql String
Nov 23, 2006Hey guys, needless to say I'm new at this.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to execute a SQL string via exec and inside it set the value of a local variable. I understand that I cannot do this the way I'm currently doing it because an Executed string runs in a scope of its own so local variables are invisible. And sure enough this is the error I get. So how do I make this work?
Code snip:
declare @ErrMessage as varchar(1000)
set @Sql = 'if exists ( select * from ' + @TargetTable + ' where (' + @ValueField + '=' + '''' + @NewValue + ''''
set @Sql = @Sql + ' and ' + @TagField + '= ' + '''' + @Tag + '''' + '))' + @CRLF
set @Sql = @Sql + 'set @ErrMessage = ''Insertion could not be performed. ' + @NewValue + ' is already an entry in the table. '''
So what I want is check if a certain table has entries...what table? I don't know, there are tens that this check will apply to. And if that tavle has an entry that satisfies the where clause then assign the appropriate error message to @ErrMessage.
I understand sp_executesql might do the trick because it allows passing local params back and forth.
Any ideas on how to make this work? I appreciate the effort.

May 7, 2008I have a function that returns a table of matching names. For the most part it returns under 5,000 results which doesn't cause too much lag joining to the search report data (which is indexed). But sometimes there might be 10,000 + search name results. I find this and higher can cause excessive lag joining. Is it possible to index this result table from the function? Or any other suggestions?

Stored Proc: Query Vals To Local Variables
Aug 18, 2004I am brand spankin new to stored procedures and don't even know if what I want to do is possible. From everything I've read it seems like it will be. I have a table, punchcards. In this table are all the punch in/out times for a week. I want to create a stored proc to calculate how many hours a punchcard entry is.
Thats the dream.
The reality is that I can't even get a tinyint from a table to load to a variable and be printed out. I am using sql server 8.
Here is what I have as of this moment for my sp.
ALTER PROCEDURE usp_CalculatePunchcard
AS
DECLARE @dtPP DateTime
SET @dtPP = (SELECT thursday_in1
FROM punchcards
WHERE (punchcard_id = 1))
/*
Also tried....
SELECT @dtPP=thursday_in1

WHERE (punchcard_id = 1)
*/
PRINT @dtPP
RETURN
/*
for some reason i can't use GO ... even though every
document i've read on stored procedures has used GO

Local SQL Server Instances Not Showing Up On Local Servers Tab Of Management Studio Logon Screen
Oct 2, 2007We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor (Inner Variables Vs Outer Variables)
Sep 4, 2006 Hi,
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.

How To Design A Package With Variables So That I Can Run It By Dos Command Assigning Values To Variables?

I would like to design a SSIS package, which have couple of variables. It loads a xls file specified in a variable [varExcelFileFullPath] .
I will run it by commands: exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL ....' (pls see an example below).
It seems it does not get the values passed in for those variables. I deployed the package to a sql server.
are there any grammar errors here? I copied it from dtexecui. It worked inside Dtexecui not in dos command.
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL "LoadExcelDB" /SERVER test /USER *** /PASSWORD ****
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW

Using Variables In T-SQL
Nov 2, 2000I have this script:
.....
USE master
go
/* Get Name of Server & declare variables */
declare @sname varchar(30)
declare @db1 varchar(30)
declare @db2 varchar(30)
declare @db3 varchar(30)
declare @dbf1 varchar(30)
declare @dbf2 varchar(30)
declare @dbf3 varchar(30)
select @sname = rtrim(substring(srvname,5,30)) from sysservers
print 'The name of this server is: ' + @sname
Set @db1 = @sname + 'database1'
Set @db2 = @sname + 'database2'
Set @db3 = @sname + 'database3'
Set @dbf1 = @db1 + 'RL_log'
Set @dbf2 = @db2 + 'RL_log'
Set @dbf3 = @db3 + 'RL_log'
print @db1
print @dbf1
go
ALTER DATABASE @db1 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf1, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED)
go
ALTER DATABASE @db2 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf2, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED)
go
ALTER DATABASE @db3 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf3, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED)
go
.....
When I run it, I get the following errors:
.....
The name of this server is: KANSASCITY
KANSASCITYdatabase1
KANSASCITYdatabase1RL_log
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Line 2: Incorrect syntax near '@db1'.

Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '@db2'.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '@db3'.
.....
Don't let the line numbers fool you. They refer to the number of lines since the last 'go' in the script. As you can see, the @db1 and @dbf1 variables are evaluating correctly.
WHAT I AM TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH:
I am attempting to change the setting of the Transaction Log to grow to fill up the entire disk. I do not wish to limit the space at this time. I have approximately 200 servers to manage and this script would be most useful in managing them, if it only worked.
Should I be using a different function to change the settings on the Transaction Log? Something other than ALTER DATABASE?
Thank you (in advance)
Using Variables In DDL

I think this is an easy question.
Is it possible to use a variable in a create database statement
i.e.
declare @db_name varchar(20)

IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name = @db_name)
DROP DATABASE @db_name
CREATE DATABASE [@db_name] ON (NAME = @db_name, FILENAME = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataew_DB_Data.MDF' , SIZE = 300, FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = N'new_DB_Log', FILENAME = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataImport_Utility_DB_Log.LDF' , SIZE = 30, FILEGROWTH = 10%)
COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
GO
Also, if the above is possible, how can i pass a database name to the script if I am calling it from a batch file (using osql).

In MS Access( i mean mdb file which all tables, queries and forms are in one mdb file)it is very easy, for example if you would like to pass idfld from Form of frminfo to a query you can say: Where idname like " & Forms!frminfo!idfld , but it does not work on MS SQL.

DTS And Variables
Jan 29, 2007I hope this is the place for questions about DTS.
I'm working on a DTS package that runs against development databases. At some point I'll move it to qual for testing, and I'll have to change names of servers and credentials for some of the connections. Can I do that with global variables? BOL aren't very helpful about this.
To be more specific. I'll have one "master" package that will be kicking off other packages. I've found in help that I can use dtsrun to pass variables - so I'm assuming that DBAs moving packages from one environment to another will adjust parameters passed by dtsrun to the "master" package. But how does the "worker" package reference global variable from the "master" package? And how do I reference global variable inside the "worker" package so that it's value is used for any of the properties I see when clicking on "disconnected properties" (like server name or user name)?
Is there some sort of tutorial out there that explains use of global variables?
Thanks in advance for any and all leads
