Aside from the concerns about security and embedded statements, etc, is there a way to submit a Query to SQL Server for validation?
I'm creating an application that will allow the user to sort of roll their own in creating filter expressions. I'd like to be able to submit these for syntax validation before submitting for actual processing.
Thanks.

Why does the following call to a stored procedure get me this error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONVERT'.
Code Snippet
EXECUTE OpenInvoiceItemSP_RAM CONVERT(DATETIME,'01-01-2008'), CONVERT(DATETIME,'04/30/2008') , 1,'81350'
The stored procedure accepts two datetime parameters, followed by an INT and a varchar(10) in that order.
I can't find anything wrong in the syntax for CONVERT or any nearby items.
Help me please. Thank you.

Thankyou in advance.
Forgive the noob question, but i'm still learning SQL everyday and was wondering which of the following is faster? I'm just gonna post parts of the SELECT statement that i've made changes to:
INNER JOIN Facilities f ON e.Facility = f.FacilityID AND f.Name = @FacilityName
OR
WHERE f.Name = @FacilityName
My question is whether or not the query runs faster if i put the condition within the JOIN line as opposed to putting in the WHERE line? Both ways seems to return the same results but the time difference between methods is staggering? Putting the condition within the JOIN line makes the query run about 3 times faster?
Again, forgive my lack of understanding, but could someone agree or disagree and give me the cliff-notes version of why or why not?
Thanks!
Ok I am tying to convert access syntax to Sql syntax to put it in a stored procedure or view..
Here is the part that I need to convert:
SELECT [2007_hours].proj_name, [2007_hours].task_name, [2007_hours].Employee,
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,3)='PTO','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([task_name],1,7)='Holiday','PTO_Holiday',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9) In ('9900-2831','9900-2788'),'II Internal',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9900-2787','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9910-2799','Sales',
IIf(Mid([proj_name],1,9)='9920-2791','Sales',
)
)
)
)
) AS timeType, Sum([2007_hours].Hours) AS SumOfHours
from................
how can you convert it to sql syntax
I need to have a nested If statment which I can't do in sql (in sql I have to have select and from Together for example ( I can't do this in sql):
select ID, FName, LName
if(SUBSTRING(FirstName, 1, 4)= 'Mike')
Begin
Replace(FirstNam,'Mike','MikeTest')
if(SUBSTRING(LastName, 1, 4)= 'Kong')
Begin
Replace(LastNam,'Kong,'KongTest')
if(SUBSTRING(Address, 1, 4)= '1245')
Begin
.........
End
End
end
Case Statement might be the solution but i could not do it.
Your input will be appreciated
Thank you
I am working on a query application, and I want to do syntax validation before I submit the dynamically sql to the database. The expression will include ANDs, ORs, IN, (,),>,<,etc. Anyone done this already? any code snippets?
Thanks!
Hi
I am running the following:
DECLARE @h uniqueidentifier --conversation handle
DECLARE @msg xml; --will hold the message
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @h
FROM SERVICE [ewx.co.za/Service/store001_ewx_sb_service]
TO SERVICE 'ewx.co.za/Service/ewx_sb_hub_service'
ON CONTRACT [ewx.co.za/Contract/ewx_Contract];
SET @msg = '<InventoryUpdate>
<TitleId>STORE001TEST1</TitleId>
<Quantity>7777</Quantity>
</InventoryUpdate>';
SEND ON CONVERSATION @h
MESSAGE TYPE [ewx.co.za/Message/ewx_sendmsg](@msg);
Now to test errors comming back on the aueue i sed to make the xml tags wrong, then the target would send a error back on the queue with xml validation failed (both queues have validation well_formed_xml). However now in testing i cannot even send the message i get an invalid xml error straight away, i am not sure why this is , i know the xml is not valid but the send used to work and i would get an erro rback, as the xml is validated by the ttarget, but this no longer works it ails strainght away, with no thing in any queue. What could be causing this ?
Thanx
I think I have read online a recommendation about not using XML VALIDATION in a production environment, due to performance reasons. Is it recommended using other that NONE validation in production, and is there available documentation for a scale that grades performance hits for various types of validations?
Thanks
Afternoon all,I want my SQL SP to do some validation on a form submit to do the following before committing to the table.If email address (txt.Email.Text) doesn't exist in the table, commit values.if email address (txt.Email.Text) does exist and option (radOptions.SelectedValue) equals 1, print message to say 'you're already subscribed'if email address (txt.Email.Text) does exist and option (radOptions.SelectedValue) equals 0, print message to say 'you're not subscribed'if email address (txt.Email.Text) does exist and option (radOptions.SelectedValue) equals 1 or 0, update row to 0 or 1 (depending on subscribe or unsubscribe - 1 = subscribed, 0 = unsubscribed) The simple SP is currently:ALTER procedure [dbo].[sp_customerSignups]@name varchar(50),@email varchar (50),@subscribed intasBEGININSERT INTO tblCustomerSignups(Name, EmailAddress, Subscribed)VALUES(@name, @email, @subscribed)END Does anyone have the correct syntax for this?Thanks,Brett

Hey all,
Quick question regarding validation!
I have a table of contact details containing the usual name, adresss etc fields.
I want to validate the fields Country and telephone together so that fopr example if country = 'UNITED KINGDOM' the telephone has to begin with +44 if it doesnt i want it to add the +44!
I can do this through writing a little program but just wanted to explore the possibility of doing this with SQL or functions already available with MSSQL Server
cheers
ed
i have two params..
@startdate datetime,@enddate datatime
1.what's the best way to validate them
2.Best way to check whether @startdate is less than @enddate
I need to make sure that a string contains at least one number, at least one letter and has no repeating chars. Anyone done something similar? What's the best way to do it? Thanks.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am new to SQL SERVER,
Can anybody help me to write a procedure to validate a given string like
09461020(Y2K compliant date), I need to check wether this is a valida date or not??
0946 = should convert to 1946
10 = month
20 is the date.
If it is 20461020.....then year = 2046, month = 10 and day = 20..and it is valid.
procedure should return validate date or not ...return TRUE OR FALSE.
Is there a way in TSQL to validate a string to ensure it has only numbers or letters (no special characters like @,%, etc)?
I want to write a function that validates a number that should only contain letters and numbers. The function should return 1 if valid 0 if not. If it contains anything other than 0-9 or A-Z or a-z then it should return 0.
Any ideas on how to do this in TSQL? I could do this in C# easily with regular expressions, but I don't want to use SQLCLR or any other external resource like that...just straight TSQL.
Thanks!

I hope I will be able to get this.
I'm looking a cripts/code that will validate date in my form when the user key in date. The date has to be in the following format 00/00/0000 (month/ day/ year)

Hi guys I am fairly new to t-sql. I am sure there are SPs or scripts that I can use to create a procedure that will do the data validation in the staging table...
Client send us data and often some of the records have bad values... what i have to create is a process that will check for those values and update a flag in the staging table for each column if the data is not valid....
Please help me out if you have something that can be used for this.
Thanks a lot help in advance.
I am having trouble with the SSIS wizard results. The connections to source and destination test good, but when I execute a task to copy all tables from a hosted OLEDB to a local SQL native connection, I get this error:

Hi there,
I have a package that runs fine in BIDS, however fails when run in a job with the following error: "The Validate method must succeed and indicate the result using an "out" parameter".
The task it is failing on is a third party FTP task that uses expressions for the filesource and filedestination and username. I have set delay validation on for this task, yet it still seems that it is trying to validate it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
I have one data flow task which creating a database table (tempTable) and other task will migrate data from other database into this table. Now I add third task which will read the data from this tempTable. If tempTable is not in the database, then validation will failed. Is there a way to turn off validation at runtime.
In my case, my package running every night. I would like to delete this tempTable at end of package run. Now I have to pre create this temp table, and run package and leave the temptable around for the next run to pass validation problem.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm adding a field from a staging database into a mart database which is built using SSIS. I've added the field with relevant lookups (the field is called Business) but I am getting the following error from the Source Load Task:
Error 2 Validation error. DFT Load Vacancy: MI Stage Vacancy Source [1]: The output column "Business" (6336) on the non-error output has no corresponding output column on the error output. Vacancy.dtsx 0 0
The thing is, I've looked and it DOES have a corresponding output column on the error output. Is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Anyone
can help me on this? I am using MS SQL 2005 Express Edition. When I am
installing my 3rd party software that needs to connect to the database,
i get this error . Thanks.
Validation failed:

2. No Microsoft SQL server connection.
3. Microsoft SQL Server collation is not valid.
4. Microsoft SQL server authentication is not valid.
Hello,
I have the following iif:
IIF(len(Fields!CustBirth.Value)<10,nothing,datediff(dateinterval.day, cdate(mid(Fields!CustBirth.Value,4,2)+"/"+left(...) + "/" + Right(...) )))
The thing that it is happening is that when i run a report without that CustBirth field i get an error stating that it cant convert the string "//" to date, of course it can't that is why i made the iif, how can i tell it to just try to execute the datediff when the field has the lenght bigger then 10 chars?
I have already installed SP2.
Thank you
We run the same package day in and day out. So we want to turn off validation, which consumes around 30% of the package run time. Since the data source and destinations are known to be correct, we dont need validation and want to save this unnecessary step every time.
How can we Execute without Validation?

Hi
I created a XML SCHEMA and MESSAGE TYPE with VALIDATION = VALID_XML WITH SCHEMA COLLECTION.
I thought this would validate the message send with the schema. but when I try to send the message with a different xml, the message is send. there were no errors. Is there something I did not set?
thanks

Hi,
I have an XML file and it's XSD file, when I use an other tool (Stylus studio) the XML file is valide and weelformed. But in SSIS using XML task using the same XSD and XML I get a "False", so the XMl file is not valide.
Have you an idea obout this
thank you in advance
Being relatively new to SSIS, I'm looking for advice, or a best practice, regarding data validation before extracting the data for a transformation.
One of my project's require that certain data be validated in staging tables before it is loaded. The validations include checking for null values, verifying that a field is populated with apropriate values etc... The entire batch of data (good records and bad records) may be rejected depending on the validations.
I have a couple of different thoughts on how this could be handled...
Run a series of validation queries on the data before executing an SSIS package
Run some kind of validation transformation (does one exist or should I write a custom transformation?)
Place contraints on the target tables so that bad records error out on the load
Something else... I could be missing the completely obvious
#3 doesn't seem to viable as the entire load may be rejected if some of the data is bad...
Any thoughts?
Is it possible to avoid SSIS steps validation to be performed during execution of a package? It slow down execution time to much.
Thanks!
