I have the following SQL which i want to convert to a stored procedure having dynamic SQL to generate column numbers (1 to 52) for Sale_Week. Also, I want to call this stored procedure from Excel using VBA, passing 2 parameters to stored procedure in SQL Server e.g,
DECLARE @KPI nvarchar(MAX) = 'Sales Value with Innovation' DECLARE @Country nvarchar(MAX) = 'UK'
I want to grab the resultant pivoted table back into excel. how to do it?
USE [Database_ABC] GO
DECLARE @KPI nvarchar(MAX) = 'Sales Value with Innovation' DECLARE @Country nvarchar(MAX) = 'UK'
Hi there I need to generate some variables , like var1, var2, var3 .... It's determined by how many records in my database. I want to write a for() to do this. But how? For example for(int i=0; i<datatable.rows.count; i++){ String vari = new String;} This is not a right way in C#, does anyone know how to? 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 want to write a query to generate a report. I have a date column which will be holding all the business dates. No dates of Saturday and Sunday are allowed. What I am looking for is, I want to get the result of every 5th business day of each month. A month could start with any day. I just want only the 5th business day.
I need to copy all objects (views, procedures, tables, functions, etc -- no data) that are under a specific Schema in a database, but the Generate Script option in SSMS doesn't give me the option to do this. How I can generate a script that's Schema specific?
I'm rewriting a huge FOR XML EXPLICIT procedure to use FOR XML PATH, and need to compare previous output to the refactored one, so i didn't mess up XML structure.
The thing is, i'm not sure that SQL Server will always generate exactly same xml **string**, so i'd rather not compare by:
WHERE CAST(@xml_old AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) = CAST(@xml_new AS NVARCHAR(MAX))
nor do i want to manually validate every node, since the generated xml-structure is quite complex.
They are sent to the sproc as null. Since they could be null I need to exclude them from posting to a temp table
Example
DECLARE @QuantityID uniqueidentifier, @LengthID uniqueidentifier, @CostID uniqueidentifier SET @CostID = NEWID() SELECT @QuantityID as ID UNION ALL SELECT @LengthID UNION ALL SELECT @CostID
Two values are null. I want those excluded from this table
Here is the example of what I am trying to do:
DECLARE @QuantityID uniqueidentifier, @LengthID uniqueidentifier, @CostID uniqueidentifier DECLARE @Temp as Table (id uniqueidentifier NOT NULL Primary key) SET @CostID = NEWID() INSERT INTO @Temp SELECT @QuantityID as ID UNION ALL SELECT @LengthID UNION ALL SELECT @CostID
I want to join 2 tables, table a and table b where b is a lookup table by left outer join. my question is how can i generate a flag that show whether match or not match the join condition ?
**The lookup table b for column id and country are always not null values, and both of them are the keys to join table a. This is because same id and country can have multiples rows in table a due to update date and posting date fields.
example table a id country area 1 China Asia 2 Thailand Asia 3 Jamaica SouthAmerica 4 Japan Asia
example table b id country area 1 China Asia 2 Thailand SouthEastAsia 3 Jamaica SouthAmerica 5 USA America
Expected output id country area Match 1 China Asia Y 2 Thailand SouthEastAsia Y 3 Jamaica SouthAmerica Y 4 Japan Asia N
The generated script output is in a order of stored procedure first and then table.
REQUIREMENT: My stored procedure is dependent on table. So, I need the table script first and then stored procedure.
Note: I can generate two separate scripts for table and stored procedure, But in a just curiosity to know, Is there any way, can we re order the Generate Scripts output in SQL Server.
What i need is to create a function that compares 2 strings variables and if those 2 variables doesn't have at least 3 different characters then return failure , else return success.
I am writing a custom query to determine if a legacy table exists or not. From My CMS Server I already have all the instances I have to query and I store the name of the instance in the @Instance variable. I cannot get those stubborn ticks to work right in my query. Below I am using the IF EXISTS statement to search the metadata for the legacy table.
DECLARE @Found tinyint DECLARE @Instance varchar(100) set @Instance = 'The Instance' IF (EXISTS (SELECT a.* FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=' + @Instance + ';UID=DBAReader;PWD=DBAReader;','SELECT * FROM [DBA].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = ''TheTable''') AS a)) SET @Found = 1 ELSE SET @Found = 0
I have an SSIS package. In my control flow I have an Execute SQL Task and a data flow task. In my Execute SQL Task in the SQL Statement I have (select dbo.to_date(getdate()) as process_date) its a direct input with a result set. It gets Getdate as (processed_date) is declared. I have set no parameters, but I have set a Result Set. Also, I have set a global variable in the scope where I passes the date (processed_date)
In my Data Flow, I have an OLE DB data source with the following SQL statement in my SQL Command. I am trying to pass down the variable as the ? .
It works when I pass it only to: lr.processed_date = ?
But I get an error when I pass it down to the : and ? between cav.begin_date and cav.end_date
SELECT distinct acc.account_num,
FROM cust_version_slow cvs
inner join cust_acco_version cav on cus.cust_id = cav.cust_id
and ? between cav.begin_date and cav.end_date
inner join bia.dbo.acct acc on cav.acco_id = acc.acco_id
inner join bia.dbo.account_version_slow avs on acc.account_id = avs.account_id and ? between avs.begin_date and avs.end_date
inner join bia_org ('02','2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10') boh on cvs.branch_code = boh.branch_code
inner join accou_version_profit accM4 on acc.acco_id = accM4.acco_id and ? between accM4.begin_date and accM4.end_date
where
lr.processed_date = ?
I need to pass down the same variable (processed_date) which is ? in all the ? in red
write a backup to local disk and then run a command to send the file to the TSM Server.This is the command I use at a Command Prompt to do an TSM incremental backup.
Command for an incremental backup of drive letter h: C:Program FilesTivoliTSMaclientdsmc incremental h:
Command for an incremental backup of a mount point: C:Program FilesTivoliTSMaclientdsmc incremental -domain="E:Backup"
I would like to be able to run this as the last step in my backup processes. This would allow me to send my local backup file to the TSM server to write to tape.
I am looking for either a CMDEXEC Expert that could show me the syntax to run these commands via a direct command or a batch job. The other option would be to run these commands via the Powershell type.
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
I have SSIS 2012 Enterprise, using catalog deployment and have more that 50 environment variables for connection to databases across my enterprise.
The problem when i go to configure the packages after deployment and pick the proper env variables, that are not sorted, so i have to browse all entries in order to find the proper entry in environment variables.
Is there any way I can use a variable from my code behind file in the UpdateCommand of a sqlDataSource? I have tried <%$ strUserGuid %>and<% strUserGuid %> any help appreciated.Thanks Dave
I want to pass a command line values into an osql run stored procedure. The commandline values should be are the values to put into the insert stored procedure that writes them to a table.
I am running backups on SQL Sever express and I take backups via the batch file executing the TSQL as below. This works perfectly fine, I just need to be able to spool out the backup completion log. What TSQL command can I use to do that?
My batch file looks like this:
@echo off sqlcmd -S SERVER01 -E -i H:master_scriptsTOM_FAM_log.sql
Which will the call the TOM_FAM_log.sql :
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) -- database name DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name SET @path = 'H:BackupTOM_FAM'
[Code] ....
Usually if we schedule the backups using the maintenance plan, we can chose reporting options that can spool the result of the backup to a text file. What is the T-SQL for the spool report to a text file.
This option produces a file that writes logs with the details I posted below. I would like to do the same or similar using T-SQL in my code.
Microsoft(R) Server Maintenance Utility (Unicode) Version 11.0.3000 Report was generated on "SERVER01". Maintenance Plan: Backup logs Duration: 00:00:00 Status: Succeeded.
In my SSIS Data Flow Task, I have a query that retrieves data based on a couple of date parameters. Is there a way we can pass/use the Variables defined in the SSIS package in the query ?
(I am assigning values to those variables from C# code)
The query should look like this:
select ordernumber, customerid from salesorder
where statecode=3 and datefulfilled between @variable1 and @variable2
I regularly (every month or so) get the error "The target principle name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context" when trying to remotely connect to my SQL 2012 instance. The SQL service is running using a managed service account. I understand this error can occur when the service account cannot authenticate with AD properly. Looking at the properties of the managed service account, the password for the account was automatically changed this morning - just when the error started.
I have many new tables for which i need to write Insert,Update and delete triggers manually. Is there any way to generate triggers script which takes table name as a input parameter and print/generate trigger's script?
I recently attempted to change the password of the sa login. There were no issues while updating the password neither did I get an error when I logged in as sa. Everything appeared to connect and I was able to query a database. However, an error was logged (error 18456 severity 14 state 8) as though I did not log in successfully. Even though I can connect successfully, I don't like having these misleading errors in the SQL Server Log.
