What is the syntax for saving a single value returned by a Select statement in a variable? I have tried the following, but its telling me I "Must declare the variable '@TempCount'." which is already declared!
SET @SQL = 'Select @TempCount = count(*) FROM ' + @TblName + ' WHERE ' + .......
exec(@SQL)
Hello Im having a little problem getting some values from a database.....
What I need is to get the value of the keyfield of the last entry introduced, I know how to to do the SQL statement for this, the problem is that i dont know how to save this value in a variable. I need to save this value in a variable in the session object or in a hidden field, and then use this variable in another different page. That's way i need to save this ID value, later in the other page I introduce data in a different table and one of the fields has to be this ID value which I have as a foreign key in the table so I need to use the same value in all the rows i introduce(Id value).
If you know how to accomplish this let me know, many thanks, Sergio
Hi all,
As there is no support of check points at data flow component level, we are trying to implement this on our own. In the process of implementing we have to save values of certain user defined variables in to an xml file. To do this, we added a data flow task in the event handler OnTaskFailure. Now we want to save values of the variables in to an xml file in the data flow. Can you please suggest me how can we save values of variables in an event handler?
Cheers,

Is it possible to get the result from an EXEC(@sqlcommand) statement into a variable?
As part of a SQL loop, it is necessary for me to run an EXEC() command to process an SQL statement. I have succesfully implemented this, but have been unable to get the results from the EXEC() statement into a variable to allow this data to be inserted into a table. Is this possible?
For Example (I know this doesn't work, but it is effectively what I am trying to achieve):
select @result = EXEC(@sqlcommand)
I could then use the @result variable in an insert statement to update a table with the results from the EXEC command.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Hi,
I have a problem that I would like help with.
I have to write an SQL Server 2000 stored procedure that returns rows from a table (a SELECT with an ORDER BY). A front end system calls the stored procedure and displays the returned rows. If there is more than one screen's worth of data (ie more than 20 rows returned from the table) then there is a requirement that the stored procedure only returns the rows for the screen ie, for screen 1 I need to return rows 1-20, for screen2 I need to return rows 21-40, screen 3 = rows 41-60.
The screen number will be passed into the stored procedure so I can work out what rows to return, the only problem is how can I tell SQL Server to only select the required rows (ie, say rows 21 to 40 from the returned rows). I can't see any arguments that allow selective rows to be returned (apart from TOP).
Any ideas??
Regards,
Chris
Hello, I have a question on sql stored procedures.
I have such a procedure, which returnes me rows with ID-s.
Then in my asp.net page I make from that Id-s a string like
SELECT * FROM [eai.Documents] WHERE CategoryId=11 OR CategoryId=16 OR CategoryId=18.
My question is: Can I do the same in my stored procedure? (without sending it to page)
Here is it:
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[eai.GetSubCategoriesById]
(
@Id int
)
AS
declare @path varchar(100);
SELECT @path=Path FROM [eai.FileCategories] WHERE Id = @Id;
SELECT Id, ParentCategoryId, Name, NumActiveAds FROM [eai.FileCategories]
WHERE Path LIKE @Path + '%'
ORDER BY Path
fileCategories table: (for information)Here is the screenshot of the table (10 kb )http://eai.w2o.ru/screen1.gif
Thank you

How is the best way to check for No rows returned from a Select statement in a Stored Proc? I have see this:
Code Snippet
Declare @res int
set @res = NULL
Select @res = dbKeyColumn
From aTable
If @res is null
then no rows returned.
Surely there is a better way??
Thanks.
I would like to make a listbox only appear if there are results returned by the SQL select statement. I want this to be assessed on a click event of a button before the listbox is rendered.I obviously use the ".visible" property, but how do I assess the returned records is zero before it is rendered?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to pull results from an SQL Server DB into an dataset where a particular field (SMALLDATETIME) is within a particular date range. The code I was using worked fine when the database was in Access. I have made several changes already but am still getting 0 results returned when there is data that should be returned.
I was using in Access:
Dim StrSQL = "SELECT ID FROM myTable WHERE myDateField>=#" & startDate & "# AND myDateField<=#" & stopDate & "# ORDER BY ID"
I have changed this for SQL Server to:
Dim StrSQL = "SELECT ID FROM myTable WHERE myDateField>='01/01/2003 00:00:01' AND myDateField<='01/01/2004 23:59:59' ORDER BY ID"
But I am always returned 0 results even if the date range should return plenty of data. I have also tried using the BETWEEN structure with the same result.
Is there a particular format for the date I am comparing with?
Am I missing something else in my query?
The connection / permissions and everything else are correct as I can read and write data to the database in numerous other pages. It is just this date comparison that is not working.
Many thanks for any help or comments you can provide.

I am working on a company sign out sheet for our Intranet. The application accesses a sql database. I tried using a datareader as well as a dataset to access a small piece of information regarding the group that each employee belongs to in the company. My last attempt was to assign the value to the text property of a text box and evaluate the text from the text box with the Select Case but that did not work either.The application is supposed to generate an email to our receptionist as well as to the group technical assistant responsible for each group according to the value that is passed into the Select Case statement. With the datareader as well as the dataset and even now with creating a text box and accessing the text property, I was able to assign the group value to a variable (I can see the value in the subject of the email), but when the variable is supposed to be evaluated by the select case statement it skips right through all of the cases to case else and uses only the receptionist's address in the email as if it doesn't even see the value of the variable. I have searched for a possible answer to the problem I am but so far have had no luck. Any ideas? I included the part of the code that I am having trouble with: '********************************************************************************************' New DataSet is created to determine the group the employee belongs to so that the appropriate' group technical assistant is emailed when employee signs out'******************************************************************************************** ' declare variablesDim sqlGroup As String ' string variable to store sql statement for datasetDim BLGroup As String ' string variable to store the bl group of the employeeDim emailAddress As String ' string variable to store resulting email address Dim groupDS As DataSet ' dataset variableDim groupAdapter As SqlDataAdapter ' sql data adapter variable' sql statement to access group value from the databasesqlGroup = "SELECT BLGroup FROM BLGroupsView WHERE (RTRIM(fname) + ' ' + LTRIM(lname)='" & employee & "')" ' repopen the connection (leftover from working with the datareader)Connection.Open()' create new SqlDataAdapter applying sql statement and connectiongroupAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlGroup, Connection)' create new dataset groupDS = New DataSet()' populate the datasetgroupAdapter.Fill(groupDS, "BLGroupsView") ' get the value stored in the BLGroup column (only one row is returned at a time) BLGroup = groupDS!BLGroup' Create GroupTextBox TextBox control.Dim GroupTextBox As New TextBox()' Set options for the UserTextBox TextBox control.GroupTextBox.ID = "GroupTextBox"GroupTextBox.Visible = "False"GroupTextBox.Text = BLGroup' just trying anything with this next line, even when i didn't set this the select case statement did not seem to see the value returned by the variableGroupTextBox.runat = "server" ' use a select case statement to evaluate the value of the group (didn't work when I passed in the BLGroup variable eitherSelect Case GroupTextBox.TextCase "bh"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; bhassistant@myaddress.com"Case "env"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; envassistant@myaddress.com"Case "sw"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; swassistant@myaddress.com"Case "fac"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; facassistant@myaddress.com"Case "www"emailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com; wwwassistant@myaddress.com"Case ElseemailAddress = "receptionist@myaddress.com"End Select '*************************************************************************************************' set new message objectDim myMessage As System.Web.Mail.MailMessage = New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage()'**********************************************************' set message properties'********************************************************** myMessage.From = "me@myaddress.com"myMessage.To = emailAddressmyMessage.Subject = employee & " Signing Out at " & TimeOut.Text & " " & BLGroupmyMessage.Body = employee & " Signing Out at " & TimeOut.Text & " for " & Destination.Text & " will potentially return at " & EstTimeIn.Text'***********************************************************' set smtp server namesmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mailserver1"' send email using smtpsmtpMail.Send(myMessage) It sends the message and returns the BLGroup value everytime but only sends to the receptionist.

Hi all,
is there no a way to determine if a SqlCeDataReader has managed to return data (rows) from an executed SQL SELECT statement? I ask this because I have the following problem where I first need to determine if data (rows) are returned, if so, cycle through them and get the data out. But if I do the test to determine if data is returned (like I have in my code below) then the Reader.Read() is classed as reading a row, so when I do my 'while (Reader.Read())' this will then only work with data in the 2nd row.
if (Reader.Read()){ while (Reader.Read()) { //Get data from rows }}
I recall having this issue before as there doesn't seem to be a standard way of testing for data returned from a SELECT statement. I hope you can shed some light on this for me.
Thanks
I have a query that returns results based on information in several tables. The problem I am having is that is there are no records in the one table it doesn't return any information at all. This table may not have any information initially for the employees so I need to show results whether or not there is anything in this one table.
Here is my select statement:
SELECT employee.emp_id, DATEDIFF(mm, employee.emp_begin_accrual, GETDATE()) * employee.emp_accrual_rate -
(SELECT SUM(request_duration) AS daystaken
FROM request) AS daysleft, employee.emp_lname + ', ' + employee.emp_fname + ' ' + employee.emp_minitial + '.' AS emp_name,
department.department_name, location.location_name
FROM employee INNER JOIN
request AS request_1 ON employee.emp_id = request_1.emp_id INNER JOIN
department ON employee.emp_department = department.department_id INNER JOIN
location ON department.department_location = location.location_id
GROUP BY employee.emp_id, employee.emp_begin_accrual, employee.emp_accrual_rate, employee.emp_fname, employee.emp_minitial,
employee.emp_lname, department.department_name, location.location_name
ORDER BY location.location_name, department.department_name, employee.emp_lname
The section below is the part that may or may not contain information:
SELECT (SELECT SUM(request_duration) AS daystaken
FROM request) AS daysleft
So I need it to return results whether this sub query has results or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
TIA
hi all
Any day, another question. I love you guys.
I want to select a subset of data from a dataset returned by either another subquery or a union.
e.g. this is how i would do it in oracle, but i have no idea how this can be done in mssql or whether it's possible at all.
select * from
(
select col1, col2, col3 from table1
union
select col1, col2, col3 from table 2
)
where col1 = 'blah'
in essence oracle treats the data returned by the subquery as a table that it would select from.
how would i do the same in mssql?
thank you
James :)
I have a conditional split in an SSIS package - one split is where if rows are returned according to a specific rule, then insert those rows into to a Recordset Destinationm which points to a variable of Object type.

Hi Guys,
I am trying to automate a basic task using SQL Server 2005 Express.
Currently I have a query script that I run and then save the results as a CSV file. I need to do this on a daily basis and so I am looking to find out how best to go about this. There are a multitude of third party tools that claim to be able to do this - can anyone recommend this or enlighten me of the best way to set up this automation.
All ideas gratefully received!
I have a strange problem. I have some code that executes a sql query. If I run the query in SQL server query analyzer, I get a set of data returned for me as expected. This is the query listed on lines 3 and 4. I just manually type it into query analyzer.
Yet when I run the same query in my code, the result set is slightly different because it is missing some data. I am confused as to what is going on here. Basically to examine the sql result set returned, I write it out to an XML file. (See line 16).
Why the data returned is different, I have no idea. Also writing it out to an XML file is the only way I can look at the data. Otherwise looking at it in the debugger is impossible, with the hundreds of tree nodes returned.
If someone is able to help me figure this out, I would appreciate it.

Hello,
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

I'm relatively new to SQL, and I'm trying to write some procedure.. but this wasn't working.. :(
I tried to make several smaller tables from one big table based on some value of one of the column. Here's my procedure:
USE WAREHOUSE
DECLARE
@COUNTER NUMERIC,
@TBLTTL CHAR(11)
SELECT @COUNTER = 1
WHILE (@COUNTER <40)
BEGIN
SET @TBLTTL= 'Inventory' + CAST(@COUNTER AS char(2))
SELECT *
INTO @TBLTTL <== *error refers to this line*
FROM MAIN
WHERE invtype=@COUNTER
SELECT @COUNTER = @COUNTER +1
END
The error message that I got was:
Incorrect syntax near '@TBLTTL' (look at * above)
What should I do if I want to create a loop which would create (or later update) new smaller tables automatically? Any suggestions are welcomed.
Thx,
Ferdinand.

can you run a query like
SELECT * from Table where Item IN @variable
where @ variable is a varchar containing a list of items in quotes,seperated by a comma

Hi,
I am writing a sproc that has simple search functionality, basically if someone selects ALL, then the sql should be the following
IF(@grade = 'ALL')BEGIN SET @gradeChoice = '1,2,3,4,5' END
ELSE BEGIN SET @gradeChoice = @grade END
Then i have
SELECT * from table where grade IN @gradeChoice
It doesnt seem to work as normal. I thought it would work the same with a variable?
Thanks for any help
