SQL Server 2012 :: Run Stored Procedure Without Writing To Transaction Log?
Feb 26, 2015
Any way to have a process run that will not write its changes to the transaction log? I have a process that runs every three hours and has a huge impact on the transaction log (it becomes larger than the database itself). We do hourly backups of the transaction log and normally it is reasonably sized but when this process runs, it gets HUGE.
The process takes source data, massages it and writes it to summary tables. It is not something we need to track as we can recreate the summary tables if needed and it has no impact on the source tables.
Everything is driven through a stored procedure. Is there a way to run a stored procedure and tell it that nothing it does should be written to the transaction log?
begin try declare @param2 int begin transaction exec proc2 @param2 commit transaction end try begin catch if @@trancount > 0 rollback transaction end catch
i haven't had an opportunity to do this before. I have nested stored proc and both inserts values into different tables. To maintain atomicity i want to be able to rollback everything if an error occurs in the inner or outer stored procedure.
Hi, I am working on an application in ASP.NET 1.1 and SQL Server 2005 as database.I wanted to use SQLCLR feature of SQL Server 2005. Is it possible that i write Stored Procedures in C# 1.1 and deploy on SQL Server 2005? as it is in case of C# 2.0. Please refer some good tutorial for it. Regards,Imran Ghani
I have a stored procedure 'ChangeUser' in which there is a call to another stored procedure 'LogChange'. The transaction is started in 'ChangeUser'. and the last statement in the transaction is 'EXEC LogChange @p1, @p2'. My questions is if it would be correct to check in 'LogChange' the following about this transaction: 'IF @@trancount >0 BEGIN Rollback tran' END Else BEGIN Commit END. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Based on selection the data will be displayed in grid view.
In my database, i have a table called EmpInfo, which has three fields - EmpName, EmpID and State.
can anybody help me in writing a stored procedure for this??
On SQL 2012 (64bit) I have a CLR stored procedure that calls another, T-SQL stored procedure.
The CLR procedure passes a sizeable amount of data via a user defined table type resp.table values parameter. It passes about 12,000 rows with 3 columns each.
For some reason the call of the procedure is verz very slow. I mean just the call, not the procedure.
I changed the procdure to do nothing (return 1 in first line).
So with all parameters set from
command.ExecuteNonQuery()to create proc usp_Proc1 @myTable myTable read only begin return 1 end
it takes 8 seconds.I measured all other steps (creating the data table in CLR, creating the SQL Param, adding it to the command, executing the stored procedure) and all of them work fine and very fast.
When I trace the procedure call in SQL Profiler I get a line like this for each line of the data table (12,000)
SP:StmtCompleted -- Encrypted Text.
As I said, not the procedure or the creation of the data table takes so long, really only the passing of the data table to the procedure.
Hi Guys, I need some help and suggestion to rewrite one of my screens (using ASP.NET) which is using stored procedure. The processing on this screen is taking more than 3 minutes (which i know is totaly unacceptable). I am making use of cursors within the stored procedure (SQL Server 2005). I really intend to get rid of cursors as they have their performance hit. I have been told to rewrite this screen (or the stored procedure) so i need some help for SQL Gurus. Following are the details: 1. This is a Monthly Employee Attendance Report on a day by day basis for any given month (maximum 31 days in a month) 2. The values (for each day) have to be computed at runtime and not stored. e.g. Since an employee may have signed in/out several times in a day 3. There are around 500 employees data im dealing with 4. The user will select any given department and employee's data for the respective department has to be displayed for any given month 5. If the user selects [All Department], the entire 500 employees have to be displayed on the screen 6. This report will look like an excel report on the screen i.e. Employee's basic info and record of 31 days (maximum days in a month) are displayed in one row for each employee 7. This report involves are 7-8 tables. 7 tables are for employees basic info whereas one table has the attendance record Kindly give me your suggestion on writing the SQL stored procedure. I cannot use any other option such as a real Excel Sheet or anything. I need suggestion on how to write this monthly report. By the way, we dont intend to Cache the data since the report can be viewed at anytime of the day, so fresh data is required everytime. Also the data for 500 employees may be too much to be cached. Also in the attendance table, we are dealing with approximately half a million attendance records. Thanks and waiting for your suggestions...
- Since the parameters are optional user can enter either one or can leave both blank. - If user doesnot enter any values for SD (start date) and ED (end date), stored procedure should run select query replacing those values with wildcard character '%' or NULL - If user enters SD, query should use @StartDate as the SD and GetDate() as the ED - If user enters ED, query should use @EndDate as the ED and MIN() of the Date field as SD
I was able to write query which did almost everything as is stated above expect for incorporating NULLs The query is as below
AS IF ( @StartDate IS NULL) Select @StartDate = MIN(DateInputted) from Document
Select FName as 'First Name', LName as 'Last Name', ID as 'Student ID', Orphan as 'Orphan', DocumentType as 'Document Type', DocDesc as 'Description of the Document', DateInputted as 'Date Entered', InputtedBy as 'Entered by'
From Document,DocumentTypeCodes Where FName LIKE ISNULL(@FName,'%') AND LName LIKE ISNULL(@LName,'%' + NULL) AND ID LIKE ISNULL(@ID,'%' + NULL) AND (DateInputted BETWEEN @StartDate AND ISNULL(@EndDate,GETDATE()) OR DateInputted IS NULL) AND Document.DocTypeCode = DocumentTypeCodes.DocTypeCode
GO
Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advance :)
Want to write from a table variable to a text file from a stored procedure.Read about xp_cmdshell bcp etc. but worried because it's supposed to be a security problem and needs to be from a permanent database.Also am getting error "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_cmdshell'..."
1. Is xp_cmdshell a bad idea to use even if I get permissions ? 2. Can a "permanent" table be used in a stored procedure starting out fresh each time with 0 rows rather than use a table variable ?
Was wondering which is better, writing the SQL code within the execute SQL task or calling a SP from within it with respect to performance? and what is the best practice? Also is there any way to incoporate the logic of a cursur within SSIS?
hi, i am a nubie, and struggling with the where clause in my stored procedure. here is what i need to do: i have a gridview that displays records of monthly view of data. i want the user to be able to page through any selected month to view its corresponding data. the way i wanted to do this was to set up three link buttons above my gridview: [<<Prev] [Selected Month] [Next>>] the text for 'selected month' would change to correspond to which month of data was currently being displayed in the gridview (and default to the current month when the application first loads). i am having trouble writing the 'where' clause in my stored procedure to retrieve the selected month and year. i am using sql server 2000. i read this article (http://forums.asp.net/thread/1538777.aspx), but was not able to adapt it to what i am doing. i am open to other suggestions of how to do this if you know of a cleaner or more efficient way. thanks!
We need to create a pdf file from SQL server preferably from a stored procedure. Application will call the stored procedure and it should generate pdf. From my research it appears it can be done using various external tools with licensing/costs. But is it possible to do this within sql server database without additional costs? I read that this can be done by SSRS in SQL server but not sure if it is a good solution and if it is additional licensing..
I've been tasked with creating a stored procedure which will be executed after a user has input one or more parameters into some search fields. So they could enter their 'order_reference' on its own or combine it with 'addressline1' and so on.
What would be the most proficient way of achieving this?
I had initially looked at using IF, TRY ie:
IF @SearchField= 'order_reference' BEGIN TRY select data from mytables END TRY
However I'm not sure this is the most efficient way to handle this.
I have a stored procedure that calls several views that rely on each other. In the past these views used to go parallel and use up all 100% of the CPU (12 cores), and now when the same stored procedure runs it only uses 8% of the CPU (1 core). This extends the time spent on the query from roughly 10-15 sec to 2-3min. I'm not quite sure why this is happening.
Are there some obvious things to look at when optimizing views to utilize all cores/threads? Also, it doesn't matter if I set Cost Threshold for Parallelism to 1 or 50 or 5, it is always the same, and I have Max Degree of Parallelism set to 0 as well, which should mean to use all cores when available.
I have a table with the list of all TableNames in the database. I would like to query that table and find any tables used in any stored procedure in that DB.
Select * from dbo.MyTableList where Table_Name in ( Select Name From sys.procedures Where OBJECT_DEFINITION(object_id) LIKE '%MY_TABLE_NAME%' Order by name )
In a t-sql 2012 stored procedure, I would like to know how I can complete the task I am listing below:
In an existing t-sql 2012 stored procedure, there is a table called 'Atrn' that is truncated every night. The Table 'Atrn' has a column called 'ABS' that is populated with incorrect data.
The goal is to place the correct value into 'ABS' column that is located in the Atrn table while the t-sql 2012 stored procedure is excuting.
**Note: The goal is to fix the problem now since it is a production problem. The entire stored procedure that updates the 'dbo.Atrn' table will be rewritten in the near future.
My plan is to:
1. create a temp table called '#Atrnwork' that will contain the columns called, Atrnworkid int, and ABSvalue with a double value.
2. The value in the column called Atrnworkid in the '#Atrnwork' table, will obtain its value from the key of the 'Atrn' called atrnid by doing a select into. At the same time, the value for ABSvalue will be obtained by running some sql when the select into occurs?
3. The main table called 'Atrn' will be changed with a update statement that looks something like:
Update Atrn set ABS = ABSvalue join Atrn.atrnid = #Atrnwork.Atrnworkid
In all can you tell me what a good solutiion is to solve this problem and/or display some sql on how to solve the problem listed above?
'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID '
If i Replace @EmpFilterAddDuty with this in a QUERY, it gives me the expected result, but if i try to execute the stored procedure.:
DECLARE@return_value int EXEC@return_value = [dbo].[EP_Conterbalances] @Start_Date_For_Totals_Date = N'20120831', @EmpFilterAddDuty = 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B
[Code] .....
I get this error code:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID ' to data type int.
I really do not understand why SQL 2012 tries to convert the value to an int, and I want to know how to pass the text string.
Our developers have gotten this idea lately that instead of having many small stored procedures that do one thing and have small parameter lists that SQL can optimize query plans for, its better to put like 8-10 different queries in the same stored procedure.
They tend to look like this:
create procedure UberProc (@QueryId varchar(50)) as
if @QueryId = 'First Horrible Idea' begin select stuff from something end if @queryid = 'Second really bad idea' begin select otherstuff from somethingelse end
I see the following problems with this practice:
1) SQL can't cache the query plan appropriately 2) They are harder to debug 3) They use these same sorts of things for not just gets, but also updates, with lots of optional NULLable parameters that are not properly handled to avoid parameter sniffing.
suppose,the type of the stored procedure's paramters is varchar .I hate to add parameterNames and types.If i can read the string of the stored procedure the get the paramterNames by operating text? public void storeOperate(string stringParameter,string name) { string[] strs=stringParameter.Split('&'); SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(getConnectionString.getconnectionString()); SqlCommand cmd=new SqlCommand(name,conn); cmd.CommandText=name; cmd.CommandType=CommandType.StoredProcedure; foreach(string str in strs) { cmd.Parameters.Add(".....",SqlDbType........).Value=str; //my trouble } conn.Open(); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); conn.Close(); cmd.Dispose(); }
I have a SQL 2012 database that has 10 tables. One of the tables is populated by manual import from CSV file. Each time a user calls custom ASP.NET code., records get inserted into a table called forecast_data with incremental increase in FileID. So first import has FileID of 1, second import has FileID of 2 etc.
What I am trying to do is only keep the data that has the highest FileID (MAX(FileID). I would like to write a store procedure that removes all older data once a new import is written into the table.
Select columnname from tablename order by ordercolumn
We will call that "sp_foldersOfFile". It takes 1 parameter, a fileID (int) value.
The result when I execute this from within Management Studio is a single column of 1 to n rows. I want to use these values in another stored procedure like this:
Select @userCount = COUNT(*) from permissions where UserID = @userID and (projectid = @projectID or projectid=0) and clientid = @clientID and folderpermissions in (dbo.sp_FoldersOfFile(@fileID))
The Stored Procedure compiles but it does not query the folderpermissions in the selected values from the sp_FoldersOfFile procedure. I'm sure it is a syntax issue.
I have table named TEMPLATE_ACTIVITY. This is template table I have 27 this kind of tables.
I want to create stored procedure to change name MICHELIN_US_ instead of TEMPLATE_ all remaining name should be same. For that I am using 'Create Table As Select' to keep same structure as Template tables.
I want to create sp as like execute this way Exec @MICHELIN_US_
So that in future if Client change to MICHELIN_US_ to UNITED_ I can just change Exec @UNITED_
And it will change all table names to UNITED_ACTIVITY
