SQL Server 2012 :: Dual Purpose OUTPUT Parameter

Oct 21, 2014

Assume I built a stored proc (dbo.testproc) that will return the OUTPUT parameter @RandomInteger.

I could pass a specific value for the parameter...

EXEC dbo.testproc 7

Or I could return a value from the proc...

DECLARE @ReturnInteger
EXEC dbo.testproc @RandomInteger = @ReturnInteger OUTPUT
SELECT @ReturnInteger

But I want to do both which, if this actually worked, might look like this...

DECLARE @RandomInteger
SET @RandomInteger = 7
EXEC dbo.testproc @RandomInteger = @ReturnInteger OUTPUT
SELECT @ReturnInteger

I want to pass a specific value and return the result from the proc. Do I need to use two parameters for this?

Dual Xeon Or Dual P4 For SQL Server?

Jul 20, 2005

I am planning to build a server to be used as a SQL Server and web server.Right now I can only use a single box for both.I have read some threads were dual processors are having problems with someparallel queries and the suggestions of having sql server use a single CPU.My budget is limited so I am debating whether to get 2.6G dual xeon 533FSBor dual P4 800FSB (DRR@ ram) or stick with a speedy single cpu.If I get a dual cpu motherboard, is it a good idea to have 1 cpu used forsql server and the other for everything else?John Dalberg

SQL Server 2012 :: Interpreting JSON Data For Reporting Purpose

May 16, 2014

We have a gaming application which generates transactional data in MongoDB which eventually sends the data to SQL Server and it is in JSON format. This data needs to be used for reporting tool but visualizing this data in forms of a table is proving to be difficult. One example of a column we receive is:

{responseCode:0 transactionId:null amount:200.00 message:account balance }

We need to build a sort of ETL or batch job but need to interpret this in a form which SQL Server can understand.

Purpose Of OLEDB Source Error Output?

Nov 6, 2007



This might be an ignorant question, but I can't figure this out.

What is the purpose of the Error output data flow from the OLEDB Source? I am trying to understand an example of what kind of "error" would cause a row to go down this path, and I can't come up with one.

Does anyone have a good example of how this could be useful?

The Formal Parameter @ReportingId Was Not Declared As An OUTPUT Parameter, But...what Is This?

Apr 17, 2008

After running my ssis pkg for some time with no problems I saw the following error come up, probably during execution of a stored procedure ...

An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "The formal parameter "@ReportingId" was not declared as an OUTPUT parameter, but the actual parameter passed in requested output.".

I see some references to this on the web (even this one) but so far they seem like deadends. Doe anybody know what this means? Below is a summary of how the variable is used in the stored proc.

The sp is declared with 21 input params only, none of them is @ReportingId. It declares @ReportingId as a bigint variable and uses it in the beginning of the proc as follows...




Code Snippet
select @ReportingId = max(ReportingId)
from [dbo].[GuidToReportingid]
where Guid = @UniqueIdentifier and
EffectiveEndDate is null

if @ReportingId is null
BEGIN
insert into [dbo].[GuidToReportingId]
select @UniqueIdentifier,getdate(),null,getdate()
set @ReportingId = scope_identity()
END
ELSE
BEGIN
select @rowcount = count(*) from [dbo].[someTable]
where ReportingId = @ReportingId and...lots of other conditions






...later as part of an else it does the following...




Code Snippet
if @rowcount > 0 and @joinsMatch = 1
begin
set @insertFlag = 0
end
else
begin
update [dbo].[GuidToReportingId]
set EffectiveEndDate = getdate()
where ReportingId = @ReportingId
insert into [dbo].[GuidToReportingId]
select @UniqueIdentifier,getdate(),null,getdate()
set @ReportingId = scope_identity()
end






...and before the return it's value is inserted to different tables.

SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver Output Parameter/Result Set Issue

Mar 21, 2006

I'm having an issue with the JDBC driver when I execute a stored procedure that both has a return value and also returns a result set. If I attempt to retrieve the return value (registered as an output parameter) after I execute the stored procedure, then any subsequent attempts to retrieve the result set always return null. Is this by design? If I use the result set first and then later get the return value that works; however, in my situation I need to first check the return value before I work on the result set. Am I'm I doing something wrong?

Code:

CallableStatement cs = connection.prepareCall("{? = call spGetCustomer(?, ?) }");
cs.registerOutputParameter(1, Types.INTEGER);
cs.setString(2,"blahblahblah");
cs.setBoolean(3,false);
cs.execute();

int retVal = cs.getInt(1);
ResultSet rs = cs.getResultSet(); // Always returns null, even though the SP actually returns a result set.

SQL Server 2012 :: Show Empty Output With 0?

Oct 7, 2014

I have a sql query that gets the count of exams held in each month.

Below is the code that I have used.

select Examid, count(*) as CumCount
from [dbo].[Exams] where ExamCategory in ('Major','Critical') and Month(EXOCCRDATE) = Month(getdate())
and Year(EXOCCRDATE) = Year(getdate()) group by Examid

The code works good when we have data for the current month. When we dont have any exams for the current month, the code outputs empty values. I want the code to be altered so that when there is no value returned in the output, i want a default value shown in the output.

I have attached the sample data that I am using. In the data we dont have dates for the month of October. So when I run the code it will display empty output. So what I need is I need a text like 'No Data' to be shown when no value is returned by the query.

I tried using case but it does not work.

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Go To Next Line In Output And Print A Table

(Course Name) (Last Completed) (Now due in Month/year)

My T-SQL code:

DECLARE @email varchar(500)

SQL Server 2012 :: OUTPUT Clause Returning Wrong Row?

Nov 6, 2014

I'm looking at various methods for deleting duplicate rows. Among the alternatives, one works just fine but gives me results that make me go?.

Consider this script:

declare @t table (a int, b int, c int, d int, e int)
insert into @t (a, b, c, d, e) values
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
(3, 4, 2, 3, 4),
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

select a,b,c,d,e, rn = row_number() over (
partition by a,b,c,d,e

[Code] ....

The code works -- that is, the duplicate row is deleted. However the output clause returns:

abcdern
123451

So....why? Why does the output clause show that the row with rn=1 was deleted, when the where clause stipulates rn > 1?

SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.1 Truncate Output Parameter From A Stored Procedure To 4000 Char.

Oct 26, 2006

I have a procedure that uses varchar(max) as output parameter, when I tried to retrieve

the result of calling the procedure, the result is truncated to 4000 character. Is this a driver bug?

Any workaround?



Here is the pseudo code:

create Procedure foo(@output varchar(max))

{

set @foo = 'string that has more than 4000 characters...';

return;

}



Java code:

CallableStatement cs = connection.prepareCall("{call foo ?}");

cs.registerOutputParameter(1, Types.longvarchar); // also tried Types.CLOB.

cs.execute();

String result = cs.getString(1); // The result is truncated to 4000 char.

-- Also tried

CLOB clob = cs.getClob(1);

long len = clob.length(); // The result is 4000.

Thanks,

SQL Server 2012 :: Converting Query Output To HTML Format

Mar 23, 2015

I am working on a code that will convert the query output into a html query output. That is the output of the query will be along with html tags so that we can save it as a html file.

The stored procedure that i have used is downloaded from symantec website and is working fine. Below is the code of that stored procedure.

/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] Script Date: 12/21/2011 09:04:30 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] (
@TABLENAME NVARCHAR(500),
@OUTPUT NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT,

[Code] ....

The code works fine and i am able to get the output with html tags. The problem occurs when i insert stylesheet in the code. I tried to enforce styles using a stylesheet for the table returned in my sql code, so that it will look good. below is the stylesheet code that i inserted between <head> and </head> tags.

<style type="text/css">table.gridtable { font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size:10px; color:#333333;border-width:1px; border-color: #666666; border-collapse: collapse; } table.gridtable td {border-width: 1px; padding: 8px; border-style: solid; border-color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff;}</style>

If I run the procedure without the style sheet code, it works fine. but when i run the procedure with style sheet code i am getting the below errors.

Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 98
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '</table></body><'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 98
Incorrect syntax near '</table></body><'.

[Code] .....

I checked the code and i am not able to find what is the mistake. I tried changing the quotation mark but it didn't worked.

And works perfectly, but ... how to make sure every item has an element "nodes" ? The case here is for the child leafs obviously. This, because on the client i have to inject this element "nodes" on a json version of this xml, and just wanted to avoid normalizing the structure on the client.

For the root I am using

FOR XML PATH('root'),TYPE; and for the hierarchy that follows

Dual Instances In OnSQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager

Feb 16, 2007

I am working on a site's SQL Server 2000 database on a W2k3 machine . I went into Enterprise Manager and saw that their database resides on a named instance. I did not see the default instance listed so I registered that using windows authentication. I noticed that the default instance had a user database that had the same name as the user database on the named instance that I was to work on. I looked at the properties of the databases and saw that on both the default and named instances of SQL Server that the Data Files and Log Files for the user database point to the same location.

Is this a problem? Can anyone see any issues with this? Does this mean that someone can simply connect to the named or the default instance of the SQL Server and connect to the same database?

SQL Server 2012 :: Using Unions To Write Out Each Select Query As Distinct Line In Output

Aug 20, 2015

Basically I'm running a number of selects, using unions to write out each select query as a distinct line in the output. Each line needs to be multiplied by -1 in order to create an offset balance (yes this is balance sheet related stuff) for each line. Each select will have a different piece of criteria.

Although I have it working, I'm thinking there's a much better or cleaner way to do it (I use the word better loosely)

Example:
SELECT 'Asset', 'House', TotalPrice * -1
FROM Accounts
WHERE AvgAmount > 0
UNION
SELECT 'Balance', 'Cover', TotalPrice
FROM Accounts
WHERE AvgAmount > 0

What gets messy here is having to write a similar set of queries where the amount is < 0 or = 0

I'm thinking something along the lines of building a table function contains all the descriptive text returning the relative values based on the AvgAmount I pass to it.

SQL Server 2012 :: Using Merge Statement Output Records To Rebuild Table On Specific Date

Mar 5, 2015

I have a table which is updated daily using a MERGE statement. As records are insert, updated and deleted, I am saving the OUTPUT from the MERGE statement into a history table with a timestamp and action$ column appended to the record.

Using this history table, I'd like to rebuild the data based on specific past date. I was able to create a stored procedure that inspects each record in the history table and apply it to the data in a temp table. The stored procedure solution uses multiple queries to rebuild the data at a point in time. I was curious if there was an easier and more efficient solution using a table function.

SQL Server 2012 :: How To Order By Using Parameter Value

currently I am ordering it by:

c.CurrentItemNumber
, p.PriorItemNumber

among other fields, but I would like to replace the part above with the parameters 1 through 5 (current and prior).

Is this possible?

SQL Server 2012 :: Pass Parameter Value To CTE

Jul 29, 2015

In some t-sql 2012 that I am using, I am using the following on 5 separate merge statements.

USING
(select LKC.comboID,LKC.lockID,LKC.seq,A.lockCombo2,A.schoolnumber,LKR.lockerId
from
[LockerPopulation] A
JOIN TST.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type
JOIN TST.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID AND A.lockerNumber =
LKR.number
JOIN TST.dbo.Lock LK ON LKR.lockID = LK.lockID
JOIN TST.dbo.LockCombination LKC ON LK.lockID = LKC.lockID
and LKC.seq = 1
) AS LKC2 (comboID,lockID,seq,combo)

What is different, is the value of LKC.seq = 1 as listed below. I am using 5 separate ctes

and the only value that changes is the LKC.seq number being a value between 1 and 5. Thus

can you pass a parameter value to the CTE that I just listed above? If so, would you show me

the t-sql to accomplish this goal?

Purpose Of NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM Login In SQL Server 2005

Hi All

Does anybody know what the "NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" login create during a SQL Server 2005 instillation is used for?

Does this login pose a security risk, and can it be removed safely? It seems to me as if it is similar to the "BultinAdministrator" login which we remove from our production servers?

Transact SQL :: Self Linked Server For Purpose Of Alias?

Oct 2, 2015

basically, we have two databases, one with fix name, eg. DB1 in all environments, and another is named with prefix based on environment, eg. DB2_DEV, DB2_TEST, that is generated by some managed application. 

Then we have queries or view/SPs residing in the first database, eg. DB1 that access database resources from the second database, DB2_***. Both databases are residing in the same SQL instance.

Currently, we have hardcoded the database name in the query but would prefer not to manually rename or write other scripts to update the query with the correct database name when deploying to other environments.

For example:

SELECT * FROM DB2_DEV.dbo.vAccounts
When deploy to TEST, we need to update the query to:
SELECT * FROM DB2_TEST.dbo.vAccounts

So, I looked at Synonyms but it seems it can only create 'alias' for tables or views, and not database.

Hence, last thought is to create self linked server, so I can write my query like below and setup the linked server accordingly.

SELECT * FROM SRCDB.dbo.vAccounts

Any consideration to think of, eg. performance, security, etc?
