Hi.
I was wondering if I could use SELECT INTO to put my data into variables.
I'm coding in VB using Visual Web Developer.
Basically, I want to do this:
SELECT data3, data4 INTO variable1, variable 2 FROM table WHERE data1= textbox1.text, data2 = textbox2.text
I am pulling data based on a selection of name (data1) and date (data2).
Thanks!
Pretty simple question and I see it's been asked a few times with no answers so I thought I'd try again. :)
Is there a way to put a variable into an SQL connection string? Like: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:BGHelpdeskConnectionString %>"
OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE name=" & response.write(MyName)
.... etc
Hi I'm a n00b at ASP.Net and C# but the company I work for requires me to know this and develop their website using these languages.
Anyway I've been doing pretty good so far I got the page looking as it should etc and databases all set up, now I've hit my first real problem... I am using Visual Studio 2005 and in the Web Developer section. I want to make a SELECT query using the <asp:LoginName> control as the where clause.
e.g. if admin logs in there is a welcome message : Welcome Admin now I want to use the 'Admin' <asp:LoginName> as the SELECT in my query i.e. SELECT * FROM tbla WHERE ([fldCustomerCode] = 'LoginName' )
I was just really wondering if that is in the .aspx file or the aspx.cs code behind file?
Thanks for any help given
Stored procedure retrieves a single row from a single table... Based on the specific values in 4 different columns, different branch actions are taken using 4 nested IF statements.
The question is, what is more efficient: storing column values in 4 variables and then evaluting each of them, or executing the same query 4 times?
Scenario A:
DECLARE @var1 char(20), @var2 char(20), @var3 char(20), @var4 char(20)
SELECT @var1 = col1, @var2 = col2, @var3 = col3, @var4 = col4
FROM theTable
WHERE rid = 12345
IF @var1 = 1
...
ELSE IF @var2 = 2
...
ELSE IF @var3 = 3
... etc.
---------------
Scenario B:
IF (SELECT col1 FROM theTable WHERE rid = 12345) = 1
...
ELSE IF (SELECT col2 FROM theTable WHERE rid = 12345) = 2
...
ELSE IF (SELECT col3 FROM theTable WHERE rid = 12345) = 3
... etc.
--------
Scenario A or B? Please advise...
TIA,
Alex
Is there a way to write an insert where the values you're inserting depend on another value in the row. Here is an example of pseudo-code that hopefully demonstrates what I'm tryihg to do:
declare @k1 varchar(100)
declare @k2 varchar(100)
declare @k3 varchar(100)
insert into tbl2
select
field1,
field2,
field3,
@k1=(select sm from tbl3 where mm=field1),
@k2=(select sm from tbl3 where mm=@k1),
@k3=(select sm from tbl3 where mm=@k2)
from
tbl1
where
blah= blahblah and
bldfddf = dfaljk
My main focus is using the variables @k1 - @k2 in the where part of subsequent subqueries in the select statement. I haven't been able to get this to work, but I thought maybe something like it would work. I'd like to do this in one statement rather than using a cursor or loop. I'm also trying to avoid functions. Any help would be appreciated.
I have problems to place my variable into the select statement.
DECLARE @DB_NAME varchar(64)
DECLARE MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor CURSOR FOR
select name from dbo.sysdatabases where name like '%MR_req%'
OPEN MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor
INTO @DB_NAME
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
print @DB_NAME; --works fine
Select NAME, FILEDIRECTORY FROM @DB_NAME.MR_ReqPro.RQDOCUMENTS WHERE (FILEDIRECTORY LIKE '%\%');
FETCH NEXT FROM MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor INTO @DB_NAME
END
CLOSE MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor
DEALLOCATE MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor
GO
How could i use a variable like @DB_Name in my select ?
Hi
I am trying to include a string variable in a Select Statement.
My problem is that when I code with the user name hard coated in the SQL Statement it works fine (see below:)
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT UserPswd, StudioID, StudioCode FROM Users WHERE UserName = 'jdoe' " But when I try to use the String variable I get an error (See below):
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT UserPswd, StudioID, StudioCode FROM Users WHERE UserName = " & StrUserName
I know there must be something wrong with my syntax ??
Thanks

Hello,
Is there a way to assign multiple variables to one select statement as in the following example?
DECLARE @FirstName VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @MiddleName VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @LastName VARCHAR(100)
@FirstName, @MiddleName, @LastName = SELECT FirstName, MiddleName, LastName FROM USERS WHERE username='UniqueUserName'
I don't like having to use one select statement for each variable I need to pull from a query. This is in reference to a stored procedure.
Thank you!

I am trying to do a proof of concept on a simple sql statement, but it doesn't work. Am I doing it wrong, or is this not possible....
Table: tblItems
field: account varchar(20)
In Query Analyzer:
DECLARE @acct varchar(20)
SET @acct = '457760,123456'
SELECT account from tblaccount where account in (@acct)
Result:
0 Rows
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Brian
Expected
457760
Hi
I've tried declaring and setting variables in my sql statement and then trying to use them instead of defining a column directly - sorry quite hard to explain, i'll do a simple example
eg
DECLARE @column
DECLARE @value
SET @column = 'col1'
SET @value = 'bloggs'
Select * FROM table1 WHERE @column = @value
It keeps returning no results even though i've tried
Select * FROM table1 WHERE col1 = 'bloggs' -- which returns results
I realise its the column which is not being selected, but there must be a way by using a variable?
thanks
is it possible to assign the results of the qry to the 2 variables?
Declare @a Integer
Declare @b Integer
SELECT A, B from myTable
Hi,
I think I'm just braindead or simply thick...since this shouldn't be that hard, but I'm stumped right now.
So, I'm trying to retrieve from a table, with a sql stored procedure with the sql like
"select height, width, depth from products where id=@idinput"
OK, so this part is easy, but if I wanted to say, return this to my code and assign height to a variable Ht, width to Wd and depth to Dp, how could I do that?
This is what I've got so far...
[code]
cmdSelect = New SqlCommand( "GetProd", connstr )
cmdSelect.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
dbcon.Open()
dbcon.Close()
[/code]
The main prob is just what to connect this record to in order to access the individual fields.
Thx :)
I'm getting the error "No recepient is specified".
I have set up a dataflow from a select statement into a record set, then have that dataflow point to a ForEach group with a mail task in it. I have set up variables for the username and subjectline. So in the mail task I have no value in the To: line because I specify an "http://www.sqlis.com/59.aspx">http://www.sqlis.com/59.aspx exactly.
I couldn't figure out how to included screen shots.
Any ideas?
I can't understand why I get 2 different results on running with a Bracket I get 'NULL' and without a bracket I get the declared variable value which is 'Noname'
Below is Query 1:
Declare @testvar char(20)
Set @testvar = 'noname'
Select @testvar= pub_name
FROM publishers
WHERE pub_id= '999'
Select @testvar
Out put of this query is 'Noname'
BUT when I type the same query in the following manner I get Null-------Please note that the only difference between this query below is I used brackets and Select in the Select@testvar statement
Declare @testvar char(20)
Set @testvar = 'noname'
Select @testvar=(Select pub_name
FROM publishers
WHERE pub_id= '999')
Select @testvar
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.

Hi,
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
/LOGGER "{6AA833A1-E4B2-4431-831B-DE695049DC61}";"Test.SuperBowl"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelFileName].Properties[Value];"TestAdHocLayer"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelWorkbookName].Value;"Sheet1$"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelFileFullPath].Value;"D: estshareTestAdHocLayer.xls"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varDestinationTableName].Value;"FeaturesTmp"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varPreSQLAction].Value;"delete from FeaturesTmp"

I am testing SQL Server 7.0. In Stored Proc I try to select a database which name is stored in the variable @databasename.
I get the error that it can't open a database @databasename.
Can I declare the database object in T-SQL?
Thanks
I 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)

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 @db2 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf2, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED)
go
ALTER DATABASE @db3 MODIFY FILE (NAME = @dbf3, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED)

.....
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'.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
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)
Hi
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)
select @db_name='new_db'
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).
Thanks,

I want to change database in my SQL-script like this:
DECLARE @DB_NAME varchar(30)

but I write Stored Procedure, it is not allowed using
USE statement in any Stored Procedures.
Hey folks,

I have a MS SQL server DB which stores tables and queries and a MS Access DB which acts as an interface and stores Forms.
I am a MS Access Developre and this is my first MS Sql Server DB. I would like to know how can i pass a variable which is an object in a Form (In MS Access DB) to a query in MS SQL?
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.
Would you please tell me how can i use a variable in MS SQL query?
Thank

I 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
Basically I am creating a wizard(using forms) within a database to import client files and reformat them into the format that we need.
I have a form that list all 26 column headings that I need and tied to each column headings is a combo box that that lists the column headings from the imported client file.
I need to create a query that either appends it to an already formatted file or creates a new table with the column headings.
The problem is the field headings from the imported file change.
This is the sql that I used that doesn't work:
INSERT INTO Formatted_Data ( Field X )
SELECT Imported_Data.Forms![Import Data-3]![Combo33]
FROM Imported_Data;
Because Imported_Data.Forms![Import Data-3]![Combo33] is not recognized. I think if I could create a variable to replace the Forms! part then it would work but I do not know how to do this,
Thanks in advance to anyon that can help

Hi
I have a simple task flow which takes data from an external table and puts it into a SQL server table. In the SQL server table I have a column which flags the data source. I have set up a variable in the variable window to hold a constant which was the appropriate value for the column. I cannot see how to map the variable I have created to the column in my output table.
Not sure if variables do what I think they do, can anyone give me a simple overview, and point me in the right direction to add my constant into the output table.
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
Is the only way to get a SSIS variable to change values via a configuration file or table? I thought that at one point in developing some SSIS packages that if I changed the value of a variable in a script that value was then retained.
