We have a domain where all computers are on GMT(Greenwitch Mean Time). We have an access front end that timestamps certain fields according to the client time that the program is running on, but we will be moving our client workstations off of GMT time and keep our SQL Server on GMT time, and want to keep the timestamps GMT.
So, I wanted to know if it was possible to create a stored procedure that gets the Server's time and returns it to the Access frontend for entry into the timestamp fields?
Or, if anyone has a better idea of how to get the time from the server to use on the clients, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
Is there a way to keep track in real time on how long a stored procedure is running for? So what I want to do is fire off a trace in a stored procedure if that stored procedure is running for over like 5 minutes.
For a particular application i retrieve records using stored procedure and bind the same to the data grid and display the same. The data are fetched from a table say A joined with couple of tables to staisfy the requirement. Now this table A has around 3700000 + records. The Select statement is as
Select column1, column 2, column 3...................... column 25 from table A
inner join hash table D on A.Column3 = D.Column3 and A.Column4 = D.Column4 and a.nColumn1 = @ParameterVariable Inner join table B on a.nColumn1 =b.nColumn1 inner join table C on A.column2 = C.column2
Indices defined on A are IDX1 : Column 3, Column 4 IDX2 : Column 1
Around 350 records per second are inserted into the table A during the peak operation time. During this time when executing the procedure, it takes around 4 mins to fetch just 25000 records.
I need to fine tune the procedure. Please suggest me on same.
Hi. I have a stored procedure "sp1" which returns a value (with the sql statement Return @ReturnValue). Is it possible for my asp.net page to retrieve this return value, and to do it declaratively (meaning without writing code to connect to the database in the code behind). If it is possible to do it like this please tell me how, and if not please tell me how to do it with code. Thanks in advance .
Hi, I'm at my wit's end with this. I have a simple stored procedure: PROCEDURE [dbo].[PayWeb_getUserProfile] ( @user_id_str varchar(36), @f_name varchar(50) OUTPUT)AS BEGINDECLARE @user_id uniqueidentifier; SELECT @user_id = CONVERT(uniqueidentifier, @user_id_str); select @f_name=f_name FROM dbo.tbl_user_profile WHERE user_id = @user_id; ENDRETURN The proc runs perfectly from the Management Console. In my ASP.net form (C#), the following always results in: "Invalid attempt to read when no data is present." (I'll highlight the line where the error results): SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(<connection string data>);SqlDataReader reader; SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand("dbo.PayWeb_getUserProfile", conn);comm.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure; SqlParameter f_name = new SqlParameter("@f_name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50); f_name.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;comm.Parameters.Add(f_name); comm.Parameters.Add("@user_id_str", SqlDbType.VarChar, 36).Value = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey.ToString().ToUpper();reader = comm.ExecuteReader();Response.Write("Num: " + reader["@f_name"].ToString()); // ERROR: Invalid attempt to read when no data is present. reader.Close();conn.Close(); The data is there. When I put a watch on 'Reader', I see the correct first_name data there. Your help is appreciated.
Hi i have the following stored procedure which should retrieve data, the problem is that when the user enters a name into the textbox and chooses an option from the dropdownlist it brings back duplicate data and data which should be appearing because the user has entered the exact name they are looking for into the textbox. For instance Pmillio Jones Pmillio Jones Pmillio Jones Robert Walsh Here is my stored procedure; ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stream_UserFind] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @userName varchar(100), @subCategoryID INT,@regionID INT AS SELECT DISTINCT SubCategories.subCategoryID, SubCategories.subCategoryName, Users.userName ,UserSubCategories.userIDFROM Users INNER JOIN UserSubCategoriesON Users.userID= UserSubCategories.userIDINNER JOIN SubCategories ON UserSubCategories.subCategoryID = SubCategories.subCategoryID WHEREuserName LIKE COALESCE(@userName, userName) OR SubCategories.subCategoryID = COALESCE(@subCategoryID,SubCategories.subCategoryID);
Is there a way to retrieve the parameter list for a given stored procedure?
I am trying to create a program that will autogenerate a list of stored procedures and their parameters so that changes to the database can be accurately reflected in code.
Please excuse me if this question has been asked before; I couldn’t find it. Perhaps someone could point me to the solution. A few years ago I wrote an order-entry application in classic ASP that I am now re-writing in ASP.NET 2.0. I am having very good success however I can’t figure out how to retrieve data from a stored procedure. I am using the FormView & SqlDataSource controls with a stored procedure to insert items into an order. Every time an item is inserted into the order the stored procedure does all kinds of business logic to figure out if the order qualifies for pricing promotions, free shipping, etc. If something happens that the user needs to know about the stored procedure returns a message with this line (last line in the SP) SELECT @MessageCode AS MessageCode, @MessageText AS MessageText I need to retrieve both the @MessageCode and the @MessageText values in my application. In classic ASP I retrieved these values by executing the SP with a MyRecordset.Open() and accessing them as normal fields in the recordset. In ASP.NET I have specified the SP as the InsertCommand for the SqlDataSource control. I have supplied all the parameters required by my SP and told the SqlDataSource that the insert command is a “StoredProcedure�. Everything actuly works just fine. The items are added to the order and the business logic in the SP works fine. I just have no way of telling the user that something important has happened. Does anyone know how I can pickup these values so that I can show them to my users? Bassicly if @MessageCode <> 0 I want to show @MessageText on the screen.
I'm generating a list of parameters needed by stored procedures, and I'd like to know which ones have default values assigned to them. To retrieve the parameter information I use:
sp_sproc_columns @Procedure_Name='InsertUser''
However, the column that is supposed to give the default value, 'COLUMN_DEF' always returns as NULL, even when that column has a default value assigned to it. i.e. CREATE PROCEDURE InsertUser@UserID INT = 10,.....
And then if I do a sp_sproc_columns @Procedure_Name='InsertUser'', the COLUMN_DEF value for the @UserID column is still NULL.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and how I can retrieve the default value?
Hello!I use a procedure to insert a new row into a table with an identitycolumn. The procedure has an output parameter which gives me theinserted identity value. This worked well for a long time. Now theidentity value is over 700.000 and I get errors whiles retrieving theinserted identitiy value. If I delete rows and reset the identityeverything works well again. So I think it is a data type problem.My Procedure:create procedure InsertProduct@NEWID int outputasbeginset nocount oninsert into PRODUCT(D_CREATED)values(getdate()+'')set nocount offselect @NEWID = @@IDENTITYendMy C# code:SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand("InsertProduct", sqlCon);comm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;comm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@NEWID",System.Data.SqlDbType.Int)).Direction =System.Data.ParameterDirection.Output;try{SqlDataReader sqlRead = comm.ExecuteReader();object o = comm.Parameters["@NEWID"].Value;//...}catch ( Exception ex ){throw ex;}The object o is alwaya System.DbNull. I also tried to use bigint.Any hints are welcomeCiaoSusanne
I ma using sql server 2005.I have a bunch of statements of sql and i have created a stored procedure for those. When i execute i found that there is lot's of difference between execution time of stored procedure and direct sql in query windows.
can anyone help me to optimize the execution time for stored prcedure even stored prcedure is very simple. I have used sql server 2000 and i am new in sql server 2005.
I need to provide a minimum value over a 12 hour time range of data. I'm struggling with performance issues due to the amount of data. Currently I log about 100 devices reporting once per minute into a table. Also about once per minute I need to pull the minimum value reported for each device in the last 12 hours. Currently I'm maintaining a separate table with entries for just the last 12 hours and just performing a Select Min(Temp) Where DeviceID=x, but it already holds about 700,000 records at any given time. The number of devices will increase substantially and this will no longer be viable.
Sample Table ID DeviceID Temp InsertDate 1 10 55 04-28-2015 8:00 AM 2 65 74 04-28-2015 8:00 AM 3 44 23 04-28-2015 8:00 AM 4 10 87 04-28-2015 8:01 AM 5 65 65 04-28-2015 8:01 AM

I am trying to call a stored procedure from an asp.net application. If I execute the stored procedure in Query Analyzer it takes 1 second to execute, but when I am trying to call it from c# code it times out. Ideas? Thanks in advance.
Hi There, We have developed a application in VB and connected to SQL Server 6.5, we have some stored procedures where it brings the data from SQL Server 6.5, this application is running since some months, when we run this application it usually take only one minute to generate the report but since couple of days it is taking 25 Minutes to generate the report, even when I run that stored procedure at backend in Query analyzer at Server it is taking 15-20 Minutes to give the result. please can any one help in identifying the problem, What all the things I need to check to identify it. Give me the solution.
I have a sotred procedure using a cursor which sort data and create subsets based on same oid and same decision_date columns, for each subset I am trying to order them and affect values 1, 2,... for each record in a different subset. The stored procedure seems to work very well and fast against a small tables (during tests). When used against a table with 200,000 records it takes more than 24 hours... I am looking for a help to make it work faster, thanks guys. here is the stored procedure:

I'm having problems testing the effectiveness of changes I'm making to a stored_procedure. I need to test the runtime, but each time I run the sp, it gets progressively faster because the data has already been cached. Is there a way for me to clear the data from cache before each run? I can't stop SQL Server.
I am trying to test the connection pooling of my app and need to artificially increase the execution of a stored procedure to 10-15 seconds. There aren't any big tables in my sample data to select on. What would be the easiest way to make a stored procedure fun for a few seconds?
Hi all,I have a problem with a stored procedure.This stored procedure inserts around bout 500,000 records but when it is executed it takes about 15-16 hours to do so.The stored procedure is using a temporary table to do this and is also calling a function.Please let me know if there is a way to reduce the execution time.will a cursor help? Thanks, Anne.
SELECT @WantedDate = CAST(CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS nvarchar)+ '-' +CAST(1 AS nvarchar)+ '-' +CAST(@myNum AS nvarchar) AS SMALLDATETIME), -- User supplied parameter value
I have two tables: Category and Product. CategoryID is the Foreign Key of Product table. I want to update those tables at the same time using stored procedure.
It will work like this. If I update the Display column of Category table to have the value of 0, it will also update any records in the Product table -that has the same CategoryID- to have the value of 0 in its Display column.
I just read something about trigger and bit gives me idea that I might use it for this case, but don't know how to write the SQL.
SQL newbie here, and thanks for any help you may able to provide.
My intention is to schedule/execute a stored procedure every morning at 12:00 a.m. that deletes all records with a column value of the day before. I.E., one of my Table columns is named POSTDAY, and could have values such as Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc, and on Tuesday morning, I'd like to DELETE all records with a POSTDAY value of Monday.
I think I can do this by creating and scheduling 7 different stored procedures (each with the actual DayName), but was wondering if it's possible to just have 1 accomplish the same thing, and without having to pass any parameters to it.
I have one stored procedure and its taking 10 mins to execute. My stored procedure has 7 input parameters and one temp table( I am getting the data into temp table by using the input parameters) and also I used SET NOCOUNT ON. But if copy the whole code of the SP and execute that as regular sql statement in my query analyzer I am getting the result in 4 seconds. I am really puzzled with this.
What could be the reason why the SP is taking more than query,Unfortunately I can't post the code here.
I have a sp that was taking very little time (about 34 sec). But suddenly is stacked. It is running and running and running but not LOCKED neither SUSPENDED. It is always RUNNABLE. I have made Index and statistics optimization but nothing. I looked into execution plan but everything seems ok. All the time is in 3 indexes that are Index Seek and not Table Scan!!! So why is stacked... I do not know how much time it takes because I have to stop it. (SQL SERVER 2008 R2, the database was migrated from SQL SERVER 2000)
I have a sqlclr stored procedure that works well if started via execute in SSMS. (The stored procedures makes a SSRS web service call.) When I install a trigger on a database table to execute the stored procedure
create trigger NewWdsStatsEntry on dbo.WDSSTATS after insert as execute UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot N'http://localhost/ReportServer/reportservice2005.asmx', N'/Report1'; go
and add something to the table, I get the following error:
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot, Line 0 A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot": System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: The operation has timed out. System.Net.WebException: at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.HttpWebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters) at UserProcedures.ReportService2005.ReportingService2005.UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot(String Report) at StoredProcedures.UpdateReportExecutionSnapshot(String url, String reportPath) . The statement has been terminated.
The insert times out after 100 seconds and no row has been added to the table, but the web service call actually created a new report! Any idea why the trigger can't execute the stored procedure? Thanks!
HI, I have an interesting situation. I have created a stored procedure which has a select union query and it accepts some parameters. When I execute this procedure it takes 8 minutes. When I copy the script in stored procedure and run it directly in Query Analyzer it takes 2 1/2 minutes?? Same numbers of rows are returned either way in the result set with about 13,000.
I cannot figure this out and it is almost the same thing except that in Query Analyzer I declare the parameters variables and its values?
I have a Stored Procedure (SP) that creates the data required for areport that I show on a web page. The SP does all the work and justreturns back a results set that I dump in an ASP.NET DataGrid. The SPtakes a product area and a start and end date as parameters.Here are the basics of the SP.1.Create temp table to store report results, all columns are createdthat will be needed at this point.2.Select products and general product data into the temp table.3.Create a cursor that loops through all the products in the temptable, running a more complex query with each individual product.4.The results of that query are updated on the temp table based on thecurrent product of the cursor.5.A complex "totals" query is run and the results from that areinserted into the temp table as the last 3 rows.In all we are talking about 120 rows in the temp table with 8 columnsthat are mostly numbers.I originally wrote this report SP about a month ago and it worked fine,ran in about 10 - 20 seconds based on server traffic and amount ofdata in the temp table. For the example I'm running there are the120 products.Just yesterday the (SP started timing out and when I ran the SPmanually from Query Analyzer (QA) (exec SP_NAME ... ) with the sameparameters as it was getting in the code it took 6 minutes to complete.I was floored. I immediately copied the SQL out of the SP and pastedinto another QA window, changed the variables to be hard coded valuesand ran it. It completed in 10 seconds.I'm really confused now. I ran a Profiler on the 2 when I ran themagain. The SQL code in QA executed again in ~10 seconds with 65,000reads. When the SP finished some 6 minutes later it had completed witthe right results but it needed 150,000,000 reads to do its job.How can the exact same SQL code produce such different results (time,disk reads) based on whether its in a SP or just run from QA but stillgive me the exact same output. The reports both look correct and havethe same numbers of rows.I asked my Sys Admin if he had done anything to anything and he saidno.I've been reading about recompiles and temp table indexes and allkinds of other stuff that could possibly be affecting it but havegotten nowhere.Any ideas are appreciated.
I have a CLR stored proceudure than runs under 2 or 3 mins when run in management studio. But when the report calls the same SP, it runs in around 30 mins and the CPU usage goes to 90 or 100% and the sqlserver service uses massive amount of memory. Previously the report worked fine, only after made a few data driven subscriptions and redeployed the reports with minor changes that it began to happen. Please help--Iam stumped.
There are no infinite loops in the report. I checked.
