SQL Server 2008 :: Replace Tablename In Multiple Stored Procedures?
Mar 3, 2015I'm trying to replace a table name in 250 stored procedures. I found this script below which does a good job but it also finds tables with similar names. How can I limit the replacement to the exact table name? If my original table name is MyTable001, I do not want to find MyTable001_ID.
-- set "Result to Text" mode by pressing Ctrl+T
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @sqlToRun VARCHAR(1000), @searchFor VARCHAR(100), @replaceWith VARCHAR(100)
-- text to search for
SET @searchFor = 'MyTable001'
-- text to replace with
SET @replaceWith = '[MyTable002]'

Search And Replace Within Store Procedures
Nov 29, 2004I am developing a complex database-driven application with SQL Server 2000. My database has dozens of stored procedures, and whenever I want to rename a database field, I have to go through my stored procedures, finding where that field is used. This is a laborious and error-prone process, even when I look up depenencies.
Is there an easier way to work stored procedure code – some tool to search/replace the text perhaps?
Search Replace Across Multiple Queries
Oct 4, 2007
Hey guys,
In my DB i have hundreds on queries setup for all different reporting purposes..
We have just changed they way our system handles costing and are moving from a average cost function to a standard cost function.. This in turns, means that i need to replace any reports where i use the average cost field and replace it with the standard cost field.
Is it possible, that i can do a full search and replace over all my queries, looking for a specific field name and replacing it with something else.
I am dreading the idea of opening each individual queries and checking if it exists..
If anyone knows of software or someway to write a SP to accomadate this, please let me know. I would be most grateful.
Thanks

This Stored Procedure Can Be Used To Search And Replace Substring In The Char, Nchar,
Jan 9, 2006#1 This stored procedure can be used to search and replace substring in the char, nchar, varchar and nvarchar columns in all tables in the current database. You should pass the text value to search and the text value to replace. So, to replace all char, nchar, varchar and nvarchar columns which contain the substring 'John' with the substring 'Bill', you can use the following (in comparison with the SetTbColValues stored procedure, this stored procedure replace only substring, not the entire column's value):
EXEC replace_substring @search_value = 'John', @replace_value = 'Bill'

Search For String In Stored Procedures
Aug 22, 2001Ever needed to find a stored procedure with a specific string in it? You can pretty this up as a stored procedure and pass it a parm or cut and paste it into query analyzer.
select name from sysobjects
where id = (select id from syscomments
where text like '%like%')
Edit:
The above works only for a single hit. For multiple hits, this works
select name from sysobjects as A
join syscomments as B
on (text like '%cursor%')
where A.id = B.id

Multiple Keyword Search In A Stored Procedure
Sep 8, 2006 Hi Guys, I hope someone here can help me. I am writing a stored procedure that simply searches for a given value across multiple databases on the same server. So far all well and good.Now, the problem is if the user types in more than one word into the search field.I have put a partial section of code here, there is obviously more, but most of it you wouldn't need to see. SELECT @sql = N'SELECT @count = COUNT('+ @dbname +'.dbo.orders.order_id) FROM '+ @dbname +'.dbo.orders '+
N' INNER JOIN '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer ON '+ @dbname +'.dbo.orders.cust_id = '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer.cust_id '+
N' WHERE '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer.forename LIKE ''%'+ @SearchStr + '%'' OR '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer.Surname LIKE ''%'+ @SearchStr + '%'''
EXEC sp_executesql @sql, N'@count int OUTPUT', @count = @results OUTPUT Now this code works perfectly well if the user only enters one word, however i need to make sure that the Stored procedure will function if the user enters 2 words, such as John Smith. I need the procedure to search the forename for 'john' & 'Smith' and the same for the surname. It should also work if the user type 'John Michael Smith' - if you understand.I am really struggling with this one.Thanks in advance.Darren
Multiple Words To Search In Stored Procedure
Oct 6, 2005My scenario is I have a web form with a textbox and a button.Once I enter a string and hit submit button, my stored procedure will have to return the result set.So if my search string is "text book title", then I have to execute the query like :select * from tab1 where col1 like '%text%" or col1 like '%book%" or col1 like '%title%"The problem here is I will never know how many words will be entered to search. So I have to make the statement dynamic.How can I do this in a stored procedure? Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMultiple Stored Procedures And Transactions
Dec 7, 2007I have a simple question: Can I have two or more stored procedures that begin transactions but the last stored procedure will commit all transactions if there was no error?
In other words, I have a stored procedure that performs some legacy stuff. I do not want to rewrite that logice, execpt I am putting it into a Stored Procedure since it currently is embedded SQL.
To support newer functionality, I am writing data to additional new tables. However, I do not want the *new* things to occur if there is an error. This is easy enough, I dont call the Stored Procedure for the new functionality if there was an error. However, if there was not an error and the newer stored procedure is called AND there is an error in the new stored procedure, I want to ROLLBACK the changes from the proceeding stored procedures.
To my understanding, I can name transactions but that is only to indicate in the logs what transactions have failed.
I thought about not using transactions for any of the individual stored procedures and calling them from a main stored procedure. The main stored procedure will have a BEGIN TRY and an END TRY (I am using SQL Server 2005) and at the top (right after the try) I will have a BEGIN TRANSACTION. In the BEGIN CATCH I will have a ROLLBACK and at the end I will have a COMMIT. If any of the stored procedures fail at any point it will cause the catch to occur thus rolling back all of my transactions. This would be the easiest way but I still need to deal with the question of, "What happens if any single stored procedure is called?" I guess I could have try and catches in each individual stored procedure for that.
I just want to make sure I am not overlooking something simple. I think I have the right idea by doing it this way I mentioned above. Because this is critical billing processing I just want to have some reassurance that this would work.
Thank
Stored Procedures Multiple EXECs
Apr 13, 2008My stored procedure looks like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.Calculate
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
declare @lastUpdate varchar(15)
declare @sql nvarchar(4000)
declare LastUpdate cursor for select updateID from currentUpdate
OPEN lastUpdate
FETCH NEXT FROM LastUpdate INTO @lastUpdate
SELECT @sql = 'INSERT INTO A ...WHERE ..' + @lastUpdate
EXEC(@sql)
SELECT @sql = 'INSERT INTO B ...WHERE...' + @lastUpdate
EXEC(@sql)
SELECT @sql = 'UPDATE ...WHERE...' + @lastUpdate
EXEC(@sql)
CLOSE LastUpdate
DEALLOCATE LastUpdate
END
When I run this stored procedure from my web page, only the first sql is executed and then I get a timeout message.
When I execute the stored procedure manually on the server, all the sqls are executed correctly.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank You.
Editing Multiple Stored Procedures

A lot of times i'll be comparing two sprocs or writing one based off of a "template" i wrote earlier. But i have to open two instances and alt-tab between them. Is there an easier way?

View 5 Replies View RelatedStored Procedures And Multiple Tables
Mar 2, 2006Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me with creation of a stored procedure. What i would basically like to do is have a SELECT stored Procedure that gets values from one table and then uses these values to retrieve data from another table.
i.e. I would like to retrieve 2 dates from another table (the table has a single record that holds the 2 dates) then I would like to use those two dates to retrieve all records of another table that fall between those 2 dates.
As I know nothing about stored procedures I'm not even sure how to go about this??

Creating Multiple Stored Procedures At Once

I am creating a database application that is accessed through a .NET front end.
What I want to do is run a SQL script that will create my DB, create my indexes and enforce my constraints (all of which I have done) but I also want to create my stored procedures in the same script also.
When I merge all my stored procedures (about 16) into one file and run it in SQL Query Analyzer I get multiple errors but the one that is coursing me the most bother is
‘Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure procedureName, Line 134
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'procedure'.’
What does this mean and why can’t I run more than once Stored Procedure at once?
Many thanks

Multiple Stored Procedures ,same Tables
Sep 3, 2007
Hi,
I am using multiple stored procedures which are using same set of tables at a time .
As stored procedures dont have any DMLs. they are just select statement copied into a temporary table for further processing.
My issue is ,I dont want to wait one stored procedure until the other stored procedure is completed.
as one stored procedure is taking 43 secs and another sp is taking one min .they are conmbinely taking 1:43 mins
where i want to take just 1 min which is the time took by second sp
I want this because i am calling all the stored procedures more than 5 in my reporting services to show in one report which is taking huge time
Please suggest me how to proceed here.i am stuck
what should i do with the tables or stored procedures?
Thank you

Multiple Stored Procedures,same Set Of Tables
Sep 3, 2007
Hi ,
I have a Report which has 8 stored procedures to get 8 resultant data sets . the stored procedures are almost similar such that they have only difference is the where clause and column getting returned.
So ,every stored access same set of tables and temporary tables getting created to store some set of active data derived from big table.
what happening is ,when i run the stored procedures individually in query analyser ,it is taking the time which is accepatable individually,but when i keep them in the same report. it is taking the time which is equal to sum of all the times taken by the stored procedures ran individually in query analyser which is some what not acceptable
can anybody through an idea,what can be done here. i already thought of locks and kept set transaction isolation level read uncomitted for all the stored procedures.but the time taking is same.
please help me here,i am stuck

Search Multiple Keywords Stored Procedure With Precompile
Jun 8, 2007Hi,
I'm working on a new site with a big number of future concurrent visitors so performance is very important. We're working on a search function with which users can search for multiple keywords in a single table. My .NET application consults a SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure to lookup the information. The stored procedure builds up a dynamic SQL string with which the table is queried.
An example:
User searches for 'car airco'. Alle records with the words car and/or airco in specified columns should show up. This works. The query would be
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM Table1 WHERE (Col1 LIKE '%car%' OR Col2 LIKE '%car%')OR (Col1 LIKE '%airco%' OR Col2 LIKE '%airco%')
As I mentioned before performance is a hot issue in this project. The problem with the stored procedure is that it can't be precompiled by SQL Server (dynamic SQL string). Is there a way to search for multiple keywords without losing the precompile behaviour of SQL Server Stored Procedures?
Kind regards,
ThaYoung1!
Transaction Across Multiple Stored Procedures...Posssible?
May 12, 2008Hello All,I can not figure out how to accomplish the task that I want. So, please help.I have two tables, Parent and Child tables. For both Tables I have stored procedures for inserting records. I simply pass parameters for field values to stored proecdures and Stored procedures simply insert record with those values. I am first inserting record in Parent table and then in child table via calling their stored procedures one by one.Now, what I want to do is, after inserting record in parent table successfully, If record can not be inserted in child table successfully then I want to rollback, I also want to undo the insertion operation done in previous parent table's stored procedure call. The problem is, I can not span a Transaction across multiple stored procedure. If I begin a Transaction in a stored procedure for a Parent table, then I have to either roll back or commit that transaction in the same stored procedure. How can I span a transaction across multiple stored procedures, so that I can rollback in the Child Table's stored procedure in such a way that the Record Insertion of the Parent table can be cancelled. What to do...? Please help, it's urgent. Thanks to all.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMultiple Stored Procedures In A Single SqlScript, Is That Possible?

I have my database and i generated the script that creates the entire database. My database has some stored procedures.

as i understand, i must have 1 storedprocedure per script. I tried separating one stored procedure per script and everything works fine, the problem here is that i have many many stored procedures.
Now, is there a way to have multiple stored procedures in one single sqlscript?
Do i really need to separate my stored procedures in one script per stored procedure or is there any way to put them all in one single script?

DTS - Using Multiple Stored Procedures In One Execute SQL Task
Jan 3, 2008I'm running this legacy DTS package under SQL Server 2005, and need to make some changes.
I have some (say, 3) stored procedures, and they all have one same parameter. Each SP returns a dataset. I need to import each dataset to a table using DTS. Both the SPs and the destination tables are in the same database.
So, I created an "Execute SQL Task" and typed in "SQL Statement" something like this:
INSERT INTO TABLE TABLE1
EXEC SP1 ?
GO
INSERT INTO TABLE TABLE2
EXEC SP2 ?
GO
INSERT INTO TABLE TABLE3
EXEC SP3 ?
GO
And the execution returns an error: No value given for one or more required parameters.
Is it possible to assign a parameter to all three SPs? What is the work out if I don't want to change the SPs, and I don't want to create 3 Execute SQL Tasks?
Grouping Common Functionality In Multiple Stored Procedures
Oct 22, 2007Hi i have always used views in my code to group common functionality in my sql expressions and then i can simply call these views in my data access layer by saing:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM vw_Documents WHERE CategoryID = @CategoryID", cn);
However my view has become so complicated that i had to convert it to a stored procedure called sp_Documents. The problem now though is that is that i wish to do queries against the data returned but i can't simply say:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM sp_Documents WHERE CategoryID = @CategoryID", cn);
The only way i can see to do it is to create a stored procedure for every single senario i have passing in the appropriate values as parameters. This seems a pretty messy solution to me because i would have repeated logic in all my stored procedures. Therefore i was wondering if there's a simpler way for me to do this or am i just being lazy :).
Appreciate if someone could help,
